AMD Radeon RX 7600S vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the clear performance leader in every benchmark category where data exists. The database records ten benchmark results for the RX 7600S, covering DirectX 10, 11, 12, and 9 workloads, OpenCL, Vulkan, compute, and 2D graphics tests. The Intel Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its performance profile entirely unquantified.

The RX 7600S delivers its strongest results in the synthetic and compute-oriented tests. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 73,868 and OpenCL score of 68,012 indicate substantial compute headroom. The PassMark G3D score of 15,408 places the card at the 60th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly 60 percent of recorded graphics hardware. The PassMark GPU compute score of 6,520 further confirms the card's compute bias. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 1,888 shows modern DirectX 12 rendering capability.

The Intel Arc A310E occupies a different position entirely. It carries a 50th percentile rating, but with an average benchmark score of zero and no individual test results, that percentile reflects an absence of data rather than measured performance. The card is marked end-of-life in the database, while the RX 7600S remains active in production.

The use-case split therefore falls along data availability as much as raw capability. For any workload where the database has measurements, the RX 7600S wins outright. The Arc A310E cannot claim a single recorded victory because it has no recorded scores.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages. AMD uses Navi 33 silicon built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi Mobile generation within the RX 7000M family. Intel counters with the DG2-128 chip using the Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist generation in the Arc 3 series.

Both chips are fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process node. The transistor counts differ substantially. AMD's Navi 33 packs 13,300 million transistors across a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. Intel's DG2-128 contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. The AMD chip is both larger and denser, explaining its higher resource counts.

The execution resources diverge sharply. The RX 7600S contains 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 ray tracing cores. AMD leads by 2.3 times in shading units, 3.5 times in TMUs, and 4 times in ROPs. Neither card has tensor cores listed.

Memory configurations differ as well. The RX 7600S uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc A310E has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, providing 124.0 GB/s. AMD's memory subsystem offers double the capacity, double the bus width, and roughly double the bandwidth.

Clock behavior also separates the two. The RX 7600S runs a 1500 MHz base clock, a 2200 MHz boost clock, and a 1865 MHz game clock. Its memory operates at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. The Arc A310E runs at a flat 2000 MHz base and boost with no separate game clock, and its memory runs at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective speed. Intel's simpler clock curve trades peak boost for consistency.

Output and interface differences follow their intended use cases. The RX 7600S is an integrated graphics package (IGP) with portable-device-dependent display outputs and no power connectors. The Arc A310E is a single-slot card measuring 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, with four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs and no power connectors, requiring a 250 W suggested PSU.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a decisive outcome: the AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the only one of the two with measured performance, and that performance ranges from competent to strong across every test in the database. Its 60th percentile standing and an average benchmark score of 16,696 place it in the middle-upper tier of recorded GPUs.

The nearest rivals in the database give context to the RX 7600S's position. The NVIDIA T400 4 GB averages 16,792, which is 0.6 percent above the RX 7600S. The NVIDIA T400 averages 16,508, which is 1.1 percent below. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 averages 16,504, another 1.2 percent below. The NVIDIA Tesla M4 averages 16,932, which is 1.4 percent above. These margins are all within roughly 1.5 percent, indicating the RX 7600S sits in a tight performance cluster around the 16,500 to 17,000 average score range.

The Intel Arc A310E cannot be compared on the same basis because it has no recorded results. Its end-of-life status and lower resource counts, including roughly one third the shading units and one quarter the ROPs of the AMD part, suggest it targets a different performance tier. The database simply does not support a data-driven verdict for the Arc A310E beyond its specification sheet.

For anyone selecting between these two based on the database, the RX 7600S is the only option with validated performance. The Arc A310E may suit specific embedded or display-oriented roles given its four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs and single-slot footprint, but its performance remains unmeasured.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark results exist in the database for these two GPUs. The head-to-head field is empty, and the win counts for both cards are zero. This is not a case of a narrow margin; it is a complete absence of comparative measurements.

The RX 7600S nevertheless provides its own benchmark profile through ten individual tests. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,888 represents modern API rendering performance. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 68,012 and Vulkan score of 73,868 show strong cross-platform compute and graphics throughput. PassMark results span legacy and modern APIs: DirectX 9 scores 211, DirectX 10 scores 74, DirectX 11 scores 140, and DirectX 12 scores 65. The PassMark G2D score of 776 covers 2D graphics work, while the G3D score of 15,408 and GPU compute score of 6,520 round out the profile.

The Arc A310E offers no comparable numbers. Its specification sheet shows a 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 rate, a 64.00 GTexel/s texture rate, and a 32.00 GPixel/s pixel rate. These raw specification values are far below the RX 7600S's 15.77 TFLOPS FP32, 246.4 GTexel/s texture rate, and 140.8 GPixel/s pixel rate. The RX 7600S also reaches 31.54 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio, versus 6.144 TFLOPS FP16 for the Arc A310E.

The largest recorded win for the RX 7600S is therefore not against the Arc A310E but against the database's rival set. Its 15,408 G3D score and 16,696 average sit within 1.5 percent of the NVIDIA T400, T400 4 GB, RTX 5090 D V2, and Tesla M4. That clustering suggests the RX 7600S delivers performance in a well-established mid-range bracket, while the Arc A310E's absence from the benchmark record leaves its comparative position undefined.
