GPU Comparison

# The Verdict

The data presents a single decisive benchmark comparison: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775, while the Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239. This gives AMD a 9.5% lead in the only head-to-head test recorded. The RX 7600M also sits at the 89th percentile of all GPUs, one point higher than the Arc A570M's 88th percentile. For raw compute performance in OpenCL workloads, the AMD part is the clear choice based on this dataset.

However, the Arc A570M is not without merit. It operates at a lower 75 W TDP versus the RX 7600M's 90 W, making it the more power-efficient option on paper. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (0.3% ahead) and AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (0.3% behind), placing it in solid company. The RX 7600M, meanwhile, trades blows with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (0.1% behind) and AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 (0.7% behind). Neither GPU has a launch MSRP listed, so no pricing analysis is possible from the available facts.

For system integrators prioritizing maximum compute throughput in a mobile form factor, the RX 7600M wins. For those constrained by thermal or power budgets, the Arc A570M's lower TDP and still-competitive percentile ranking make it a viable alternative. The data does not support a universal recommendation; it supports a workload-specific one.

# Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows a single victory: the RX 7600M wins the Geekbench OpenCL test outright. That is the only recorded head-to-head result, and it belongs to AMD.

The RX 7600M's win is substantial. A 9.5% delta over the Arc A570M in OpenCL compute is not a marginal margin; it represents a meaningful performance tier separation. The AMD part's 17.27 TFLOPS FP32 throughput versus the Intel part's 5.325 TFLOPS explains this gap, the RX 7600M has more than three times the raw single-precision compute capacity.

Where the Arc A570M "wins" is in power efficiency. At 75 W TDP, it draws 15 W less than the RX 7600M's 90 W. In a mobile context, this could translate to thinner chassis designs, longer battery life, or quieter cooling solutions. The data does not include real-world power consumption measurements, so this remains a theoretical advantage based on TDP ratings alone.

The Arc A570M also has more shading units (2,048 vs. 1,792) and more TMUs (128 vs. 112), yet it still loses the compute benchmark. This indicates that architectural efficiency and clock speeds matter more than raw unit counts. The RX 7600M's boost clock of 2,410 MHz versus the Arc's 1,300 MHz is a massive advantage that unit count cannot overcome.

# Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation. The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip with Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile) generation.

Both are fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm process, but the transistor densities differ significantly. The RX 7600M packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a density of 65.2M per mm². The Arc A570M has 11,500 million transistors spread across a larger 269 mm² die, resulting in a lower density of 42.8M per mm². This density gap reflects the architectural differences: AMD's RDNA 3.0 is more compact, while Intel's Xe-HPG uses more die area per transistor.

Memory configurations are nearly identical. Both have 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus. The RX 7600M runs its memory at 2,000 MHz (16 Gbps effective), producing 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc A570M's memory runs at 1,750 MHz (14 Gbps effective), yielding 224.0 GB/s. The AMD part has a 14.3% bandwidth advantage.

Compute resources tell a complex story. The RX 7600M has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc A570M has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and only 16 ray tracing cores. While Intel has more shaders and TMUs, AMD has nearly double the RT cores. The RX 7600M's pixel rate is 154.2 GPixel/s versus the Arc's 83.20 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 269.9 GTexel/s versus 166.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput gap is stark: 17.27 TFLOPS for AMD versus 5.325 TFLOPS for Intel. Both support FP16 at 2:1 ratio, with AMD at 34.55 TFLOPS and Intel at 10.65 TFLOPS.

Clock speeds diverge dramatically. The RX 7600M has a 1,500 MHz base and 2,410 MHz boost, with a 2,070 MHz game clock. The Arc A570M has a 900 MHz base and 1,300 MHz boost, with no game clock listed. This 1,110 MHz boost clock difference is the single largest architectural differentiator.

Both GPUs share the same API support: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600M uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Arc A570M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, a potential bandwidth bottleneck for the Intel part. Both are IGP form factors with portable-device-dependent display outputs.

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single recorded head-to-head benchmark is Geekbench OpenCL, and it is a decisive win for the AMD Radeon RX 7600M. The AMD part scores 63,775 against the Intel Arc A570M's 58,239, a delta of 9.5%. This is not a razor-thin margin; it is a clear performance tier separation.

Contextualizing this score, the RX 7600M sits at the 89th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, scores 63,830, just 0.1% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, a 0.1% deficit. The RX 7600M is effectively in a dead heat with these parts, trading fractions of a percent. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX also matches at 63,842 (0.1% ahead), while the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 lags slightly at 64,212 (0.7% behind).

The Arc A570M's 58,239 score places it at the 88th percentile, one point lower than AMD. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, scores 58,392, a 0.3% gap. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085, sitting 0.3% behind. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58,528 (0.5% ahead), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58,657 (0.7% ahead). The Arc A570M is competitive within its immediate peer group but cannot reach the RX 7600M's performance plateau.

The delta of 9.5% between the two GPUs is larger than any delta between either GPU and its nearest rivals. This indicates that the RX 7600M and Arc A570M are not direct competitors in the same performance band, they are separated by a meaningful gap. The RX 7600M's FP32 compute of 17.27 TFLOPS versus the Arc's 5.325 TFLOPS is the underlying driver. Even accounting for architectural efficiency differences, a 3.2x raw compute advantage is insurmountable in compute-bound workloads.

The RX 7600M also benefits from higher clock speeds across the board. Its 2,410 MHz boost clock versus the Arc's 1,300 MHz is a massive 85% advantage. The AMD part's 2,070 MHz game clock further reinforces its sustained performance capability. The Arc's 900 MHz base clock is lower than the RX 7600M's 1,500 MHz base, meaning the Intel part starts from a significant deficit.

Memory bandwidth favors AMD as well. The RX 7600M's 256.0 GB/s versus the Arc's 224.0 GB/s gives AMD a 14.3% bandwidth advantage. This compounds with the compute advantage in memory-intensive OpenCL workloads.

The result is unambiguous: the AMD Radeon RX 7600M wins the only benchmark recorded, and it wins by a margin that places it in a higher performance class. The Intel Arc A570M remains a capable mobile GPU, but this data shows it is not in the same tier as the RX 7600M for OpenCL compute tasks.
