AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs Intel Arc A730M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one directly comparable benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and the Intel Arc A730M: Geekbench OpenCL. In this test, the Intel Arc A730M scores 70,352, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775. The delta is -9.3% for the AMD part, meaning the Intel solution leads by roughly 9.3% in this specific compute workload. This is the only head-to-head measurement recorded, and it favors Intel.

Beyond that single comparison, the broader benchmark picture differs substantially between the two cards. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M averages 63,775 in average benchmark score, and its nearest rival cluster sits very close to that figure. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP scores 63,830, a delta of -0.1% relative to the RX 7600M; the NVIDIA CMP 30HX scores 63,842, also -0.1% away; and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, +0.1% from the RX 7600M. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64,212, which is -0.7% from the RX 7600M, the largest gap among its listed rivals. These results indicate the RX 7600M lands in the 89th percentile of all GPUs, placing it slightly below the WX 9100 and essentially level with the other three close competitors.

The Intel Arc A730M, by contrast, has a recorded measurements across multiple workloads. Its Geekbench Vulkan score is 64,693, which is actually higher than the RX 7600M's OpenCL result of 63,775. The Arc A730M's OpenCL total tops that at 70,352, and a separate 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test records 1,732. The average of all Intel Arc A730M benchmark scores is 45,592, a much lower figure pulled sharply downward by the low 3DMark result. The Arc A730M sits in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are equally tight: the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45,384, a delta of +0.5% from the Arc A730M; the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation scores 45,972, -0.8% away; the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45,152, +1% from the Arc A730M; and the NVIDIA RTX 5800 Ada Generation scores 46,043, -1% from the Arc A730M. These numbers show the Arc A730M sits within a narrow band of performance relative to its peers.

The asymmetry in wins is decisive: the Intel Arc A730M holds one win in head-to-head tests, the AMD card zero wins. The data shows the RX 7600M's strongest recorded performance lies in OpenCL, where its 63,775 result is only 9.3% behind the Arc A730M's 70,352 in the same test. The Arc A730M's advantage in OpenCL, 70,352 versus 63,775, is the single largest discrepancy in the recorded data. The RX 7600M does not outperform the Arc A730M in any measured workload; the Intel part leads in every tested scenario, with the widest margin being the 9.3% OpenCL margin.

What matters for interpretation is how each card's recorded score positions it against its own rivals. The RX 7600M's 63,775 OpenCL result sits -0.7% from the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 64,212, +0.1% from the Pro Vega 56 63,693, and -0.1% from the RX 9060 XT LP 63,842, and NVIDIA CMP 30HX 63,842: a very tight cluster. The Arc A730M's average 45,592 is +0.5% from the Pro 5500 XT 45,384, -0.8% from RTX 5880 Ada Generation 45,972, +1% from RTX 5090 Mobile 45,152, and -1% from RTX A2000 46,043, also a dense grouping. Both parts sit in a narrow band relative to their respective nearest rivals, which suggests the 9.3% OpenCL advantage of the Arc A730M over the RX 7600M is a meaningful, if not enormous, gap.
