AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and Intel Arc A310E occupy vastly different performance tiers, and the recorded data makes that gap explicit. The RX 7600M XT delivers an average benchmark score of 12,710 across all recorded tests, while the Arc A310E has no benchmark entries in the database, resulting in an average score of zero. This is not a close contest by any metric.

Looking at the AMD part's individual scores, the strongest results come from Geekbench OpenCL, where it posts 74,869 points, and Geekbench Vulkan, where it scores 27,793. In PassMark testing, the RX 7600M XT records 13,907 in the G3D suite and 7,140 in GPU compute. The DirectX legacy tests show 175 in DirectX 9, 137 in DirectX 11, 76 in DirectX 10, and 58 in DirectX 12. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 2,048 points, and the G2D score sits at 894.

The Arc A310E, by contrast, has zero recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means no direct head-to-head comparison can be constructed from measured data. The database instead places the RX 7600M XT at the 52nd percentile among all GPUs, with the Arc A310E at the 50th percentile, a ranking that reflects its broader feature set rather than any measured compute performance.

The nearest rivals for the RX 7600M XT provide context for its standing. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 averages 12,773 points, a delta of -0.5% relative to the AMD card. The NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm scores 12,625, which is 0.7% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 and AMD Radeon Pro 455 each average 12,830 and 12,831 respectively, both landing 0.9% ahead of the RX 7600M XT. These deltas are small, indicating the AMD mobile GPU slots into a narrow performance band around these older desktop and workstation parts.

The absence of Arc A310E benchmarks means the only quantitative comparison available is architectural and theoretical. The RX 7600M XT outputs 20.23 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Arc A310E manages 3.072 TFLOPS. That is a 6.6x difference in raw shader throughput. Pixel fill rates tell a similar story: 158.0 GPixel/s for the AMD part versus 32.00 GPixel/s for the Intel part, a 4.9x gap. Texture rate shows 316.0 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s, a 4.9x difference as well.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages entirely. AMD builds the RX 7600M XT on RDNA 3.0, using the Navi 33 chip with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi Mobile RX 7000M generation. Intel counters with Xe-HPG, using the DG2-128 chip from the Alchemist Arc 3 generation. Both are fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm process node, but the transistor budgets diverge sharply. The AMD chip packs 13,300 million transistors across a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The Intel chip contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, for a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter.

Compute resources follow the same pattern. The RX 7600M XT carries 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Arc A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 RT cores. Clock behavior also differs. AMD specifies a 1280 MHz base clock, a 2023 MHz game clock, and a 2469 MHz boost clock. Intel runs the A310E at a flat 2000 MHz for both base and boost, with no separate game clock listed. Memory clocks show 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective data rate on the AMD side, versus 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective on the Intel side.

Memory configuration amplifies the architectural gap. The RX 7600M XT uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, producing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc A310E has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, yielding 124.0 GB/s. That is less than half the bandwidth. The bus interface also differs: PCIe 4.0 x16 for AMD, PCIe 4.0 x8 for Intel.

Power and physical design show two different design intents. The RX 7600M XT is rated at 120 W TDP, is an IGP form factor, and uses no power connectors, with display outputs described as portable device dependent. The Arc A310E is rated at 75 W TDP, comes as a single-slot card measuring 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, uses no power connectors, suggests a 250 W PSU, and provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Production status separates the two as well. The RX 7600M XT is Active, released on January 3, 2023, with the predecessor listed as Polaris Mobile. The Arc A310E is End-of-life, released on March 31, 2024, with Xe Graphics as its predecessor and Battlemage as the successor.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7600M XT wins in essentially every measurable category where data exists. Its FP32 throughput of 20.23 TFLOPS dwarfs the Arc A310E's 3.072 TFLOPS, which means compute-heavy workloads such as rendering, physics simulation, and general GPGPU tasks will favor the AMD part by a wide margin. The memory subsystem reinforces this: 288.0 GB/s versus 124.0 GB/s gives the RX 7600M XT a decisive advantage in bandwidth-bound scenarios like high-resolution textures, large framebuffers, and data-intensive shaders. The 8 GB VRAM capacity versus 4 GB also allows the AMD GPU to hold larger working sets without spilling to system memory.

The Arc A310E does hold advantages in specific physical and deployment areas. Its 75 W TDP is lower than the 120 W TDP of the RX 7600M XT, making it easier to cool in constrained chassis. It is a single-slot card with fixed dimensions, while the RX 7600M XT is an IGP with portable device dependent outputs, meaning the Intel card suits small-form-factor or embedded systems that need a dedicated, self-contained GPU. The Arc A310E also has a defined display output configuration with 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0, whereas the AMD part's outputs depend entirely on the host device. The Intel card's 2000 MHz fixed clock also means no boost variance under load, which can simplify thermal design.

In the database's percentile rankings, the two GPUs sit close together: 52nd percentile for the RX 7600M XT versus 50th for the Arc A310E. That ranking, however, reflects the Arc A310E's feature completeness in API support and architecture rather than measured performance, since the Intel part has no benchmark scores recorded. The AMD card's actual measured scores place it firmly among older desktop GPUs like the GTX 670, Tesla K20Xm, GTX 590, and Radeon Pro 455, all within roughly one percent of its average.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward split. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is the clear choice for any workload that depends on measured GPU performance. Its average benchmark score of 12,710, its 20.23 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, its 288.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and its 8 GB VRAM capacity make it the only one of the two with meaningful compute evidence in the database. The 52nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, alongside rivals like the GTX 670 and Tesla K20Xm, confirms it operates in a recognizable mid-range desktop performance class.

The Intel Arc A310E, with no recorded benchmark scores, cannot be recommended on the basis of measured performance. Its case rests entirely on physical and deployment characteristics: a 75 W TDP, single-slot design, 168 mm length, fixed display outputs of 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0, and End-of-life status with Battlemage as its successor. For an embedded or small-form-factor system that needs a low-power, self-contained GPU with modern API support, the A310E fits a narrow niche. But in any direct performance comparison, the RX 7600M XT wins every category where the database has numbers. The Arc A310E's higher base clock of 2000 MHz versus 1280 MHz does not compensate for having one third the shading units, one quarter the TMUs, one quarter the ROPs, and less than half the memory bandwidth. The verdict, strictly from the recorded data, is that the RX 7600M XT is the superior GPU for compute and graphics workloads, while the Arc A310E is a low-power, compact alternative with no measured performance evidence to justify selection on speed.
