AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and the Intel Arc A380E x2 is defined by a fundamental asymmetry in available measurements. The AMD part carries a full suite of ten benchmark scores, while the Intel Arc A380E x2 has no recorded benchmark results in the database. This means any direct performance comparison must be drawn from their architectural specifications and the AMD card's positioning against its nearest rivals, not from head-to-head test data.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is the clear choice for workloads where raw compute and rendering throughput are the priority. Its average benchmark score sits at 12710, placing it in the 52nd percentile of all GPUs. That score is effectively neutral against its nearest recorded rivals: it trails the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 by 0.5%, leads the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm by 0.7%, and trails both the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 and AMD Radeon Pro 455 by 0.9%. The data shows a tightly clustered group of legacy high-end parts, with the RX 7600M XT holding its own in that company.

The Intel Arc A380E x2 presents a different profile. It is a dual-GPU configuration, which explains the 130 W TDP, the 6 GB total memory, and the 1024 shading units across the pair. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs, but with no benchmark scores recorded, the database cannot confirm how that ranking translates into real-world application performance. The card is listed as end-of-life, while the AMD part remains active. For any user selecting between these two, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT offers the only verified performance data in this comparison, and it wins decisively on that basis alone.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins in every measurable performance category because the Intel Arc A380E x2 has no recorded benchmark scores. The AMD card's benchmark results show a strong compute-oriented profile. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 74869 is its highest recorded result, indicating substantial general-purpose compute capacity. The PassMark G3D score of 13907 confirms strong DirectX-era rasterization performance, while the PassMark GPU Compute score of 7140 shows the card can handle compute workloads beyond pure graphics.

The AMD card also wins on memory bandwidth. It delivers 288.0 GB/s across a 128-bit bus with 8 GB of GDDR6, compared to the Intel part's 186.0 GB/s across a 96-bit bus with 6 GB of GDDR6. That bandwidth advantage directly supports the AMD card's higher pixel and texture rates. Its pixel rate of 158.0 GPixel/s is more than double the Intel card's 64.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate of 316.0 GTexel/s is nearly two and a half times the Intel card's 128.0 GTexel/s.

The Intel Arc A380E x2 wins in areas related to its intended deployment as a multi-display embedded or edge GPU. It offers 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, while the AMD card's outputs are listed as portable device dependent. The Intel card is a single-slot design with dimensions of 265 mm by 127 mm by 20 mm, whereas the AMD card is an IGP with no listed dimensions. The Intel card also has a higher base clock of 2000 MHz, though its boost clock is identical at 2000 MHz, while the AMD card boosts from 1280 MHz to 2469 MHz.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi Mobile generation within the RX 7000M series. The Intel Arc A380E x2 uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist generation within the Arc 3 family.

Both are manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process node, but the chip configurations differ significantly. The AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Intel chip contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, yielding a density of 45.9M per mm². The AMD chip is substantially larger and denser.

The execution resources reflect that difference. The AMD card carries 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc A380E x2, as a dual-card configuration, carries 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores across both GPUs. The AMD part has exactly double the shading units, TMUs, and ROPs, and four times the ray tracing cores.

Compute throughput follows the same pattern. The AMD card delivers 20.23 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 40.45 TFLOPS of FP16 performance at a 2:1 ratio. The Intel card delivers 4.096 TFLOPS of FP32 and 8.192 TFLOPS of FP16, also at a 2:1 ratio. The AMD card offers roughly five times the FP32 throughput.

The memory subsystems differ in capacity, bus width, and speed. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 18 Gbps effective, producing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel card uses 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus at 15.5 Gbps effective, producing 186.0 GB/s. The AMD card's memory clock is listed at 2250 MHz, while the Intel card's is 1937 MHz.

Power and physical design also diverge. The AMD card has a 120 W TDP, uses no power connectors, and is an IGP slot width. The Intel card has a 130 W TDP, requires a single 6-pin power connector, suggests a 300 W PSU, and is a single-slot card. The AMD card uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two GPUs. The winsA and winsB counters are both zero, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. However, the AMD card's individual benchmark scores provide a complete picture of its performance, and those scores can be compared against the Intel card's absence of data.

The AMD card's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2048 represents its modern DirectX 12 rasterization performance. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 27793 confirms strong cross-platform graphics API performance. The PassMark suite shows a range of results across different DirectX versions: 76 in DirectX 10, 137 in DirectX 11, 58 in DirectX 12, and 175 in DirectX 9. The PassMark G2D score of 894 covers 2D graphics workloads, while the G3D score of 13907 covers 3D rendering.

The compute side is where the AMD card shows its biggest advantages. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 74869 is its top result, and the PassMark GPU Compute score of 7140 reinforces that compute strength. These scores, taken together with the 20.23 TFLOPS FP32 figure, position the AMD card as a capable mobile compute and rendering GPU.

The Intel Arc A380E x2 cannot be measured against these results because it has no recorded scores. Its specification sheet shows a GPU with 4.096 TFLOPS of FP32, 64.00 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 128.0 GTexel/s texture rate. Those figures are roughly one fifth, two fifths, and two fifths of the AMD card's respective numbers. The Intel card's memory bandwidth of 186.0 GB/s is about 65% of the AMD card's 288.0 GB/s. Every measurable specification favors the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT, and the only performance data in the database belongs to the AMD card.
