AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs Intel Arc A380E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and Intel Arc A380E occupy different performance strata, and the recorded data reflects a substantial gap between them. The AMD part carries an average benchmark score of 12,710 across its tested suite, while the Intel Arc A380E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, making direct numerical comparison impossible for individual tests. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT sits at the 52nd percentile of all GPUs, whereas the Intel Arc A380E is at the 50th percentile, a narrow percentile spread that belies the significant architectural and specification differences between the two.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,048, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 74,869, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 27,793. Its Passmark results show a G3D score of 13,907, a GPU compute score of 7,140, and DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12 scores of 175, 76, 137, and 58 respectively. The G2D score sits at 894. These figures collectively place the RX 7600M XT within striking distance of several NVIDIA rivals: it trails the GeForce GTX 670 by 0.5%, leads the Tesla K20Xm by 0.7%, trails the GeForce GTX 590 by 0.9%, and trails the Radeon Pro 455 by 0.9%. This cluster of results indicates that the RX 7600M XT performs in a narrow band around these older discrete desktop parts despite being a mobile integrated solution.

The Intel Arc A380E, by contrast, has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and it has no nearest rivals listed. This absence of data means the head-to-head comparison rests entirely on the AMD side's measured results versus the Intel side's lack of recorded measurements. The database shows wins of zero for both parts in head-to-head benchmark matchups, which reflects the empty head-to-head array rather than any competitive parity.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins in every category where measurable data exists, simply because the Intel Arc A380E has no recorded benchmark scores. The RX 7600M XT demonstrates particular strength in compute-oriented workloads: its Geekbench OpenCL score of 74,869 is more than 2.5 times its Vulkan score of 27,793, suggesting the architecture is well-suited to general-purpose compute tasks that leverage OpenCL's broad compatibility. The Passmark GPU compute score of 7,140 reinforces this pattern, showing substantial throughput for non-graphics workloads.

In legacy DirectX paths, the RX 7600M XT shows an interesting distribution. The DirectX 9 score of 175 exceeds the DirectX 10 score of 76 and the DirectX 11 score of 137, while DirectX 12 drops to 58. This pattern indicates that the RDNA 3.0 architecture retains strong performance on older API paths, which can matter for backward-compatible titles and legacy applications. The DirectX 12 score being the lowest of the four suggests that the card's modern API performance, as measured by Passmark, is not its strongest suit, even though the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,048 shows competitive modern rendering capability.

The Intel Arc A380E, with no benchmark data, cannot claim wins in any measured category. Its production status is end-of-life, and its successor is Battlemage, which indicates that Intel has moved on from this part. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT remains active in production, giving it ongoing relevance in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge fundamentally at the architectural level. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish and a generation designation of Navi Mobile (RX 7000M). It belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series. The Intel Arc A380E uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, with a generation designation of Alchemist (Arc 3). Both are fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process node, so the manufacturing process is identical.

The transistor counts differ significantly. The AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on 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, yielding a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. The AMD design packs nearly twice the transistor count into a die that is only about 30% larger, indicating a denser implementation of RDNA 3.0 compared to Xe-HPG.

The compute resources diverge sharply. The AMD part has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. In every category, the AMD GPU doubles the Intel GPU's resource count. The pixel rate for AMD is 158.0 GPixel/s versus Intel's 64.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 316.0 GTexel/s versus Intel's 128.0 GTexel/s. These ratios align with the shader and TMU counts, confirming a consistent 2:1 resource advantage.

Floating-point performance follows the same pattern. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT delivers 20.23 TFLOPS FP32 and 40.45 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The Intel Arc A380E delivers 4.096 TFLOPS FP32 and 8.192 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The AMD part is roughly 4.9 times faster in FP32 and FP16 throughput, a larger margin than the 2:1 resource count would suggest. This indicates that clock speeds and architectural efficiency also favor the AMD design.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so the API feature sets are equivalent. Neither has tensor cores listed. The AMD part uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Intel part uses PCIe 4.0 x8, halving the available bus bandwidth for the Intel solution.

Specification Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and Intel Arc A380E differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD part has a base clock of 1280 MHz and a boost clock of 2469 MHz, with a game clock of 2023 MHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz, meaning it runs at a fixed frequency with no boost headroom. The AMD memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the Intel memory clock is 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective.

Memory configuration shows stark differences. The AMD part has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part has 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, delivering 186.0 GB/s bandwidth. The AMD part provides 2 GB more capacity and 102 GB/s more bandwidth, a 55% bandwidth advantage.

The power and physical specifications diverge as well. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT has a TDP of 120 W, uses no power connectors, and is classified as an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a slot width of IGP. Its display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, and it has no dimensions recorded. The Intel Arc A380E has a TDP of 75 W, a suggested PSU of 250 W, no power connectors, and is a single-slot card. Its dimensions are 254 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. It has four DisplayPort 2.0 outputs. The Intel part is end-of-life, released on 2024-03-31, with a successor named Battlemage and a predecessor of Xe Graphics. The AMD part is active, released on 2023-01-03, with a predecessor of Polaris Mobile and no successor listed.

The transistor density difference is notable: 65.2 million per square millimeter for AMD versus 45.9 million for Intel. The AMD part uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Intel part uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Neither part has a launch MSRP in the database.
