AMD Radeon RX 7700 vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7700 and the Intel Arc A310E. The only recorded performance data belongs to the RX 7700, which has a comprehensive set of nine benchmark scores across multiple DirectX versions, compute workloads, and 2D tests. The Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, so no direct score comparisons are possible.

What the data does show is the RX 7700's absolute performance profile. In 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), the card records a score of 2865. Its PassMark G3D score reaches 20974, while the GPU compute score sits at 10963. These figures place the RX 7700 at the 58th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 15852.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the RX 7700's standing. The AMD Radeon R9 370X averages 15862, which is 0.1% above the RX 7700. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 16014, 1% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 trails by 1.1% with an average of 15679. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti leads this group at 16129, 1.7% ahead of the RX 7700. These deltas are narrow, indicating the RX 7700 sits in a tightly contested performance band.

Since the Arc A310E has no benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison cannot be quantified. The data confirms the RX 7700 is an active production part with a full suite of measured results, while the Arc A310E is marked end-of-life with zero recorded scores. Any attempt to declare a winner in individual tests would require fabrication, which the recorded data does not support.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark data for the Arc A310E, the use-case split must rely on architectural and specification differences recorded in the database.

The RX 7700 delivers 25.18 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 236.1 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 393.4 GTexel/s texture rate. It carries 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. Memory bandwidth reaches 624.1 GB/s across a 256-bit bus with 16 GB of GDDR6. These specifications position it for high-resolution gaming, ray-traced workloads, and compute-heavy applications where large memory capacity and wide bandwidth matter.

The Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 32.00 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 64.00 GTexel/s texture rate. It uses 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 ray tracing cores. Memory bandwidth is 124.0 GB/s across a 64-bit bus with 4 GB of GDDR6. This configuration suits low-power embedded or compact systems where the 75 W TDP and single-slot, 168 mm length factor into system design constraints.

The RX 7700 uses a 5 nm TSMC process with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die. The Arc A310E uses a 6 nm TSMC process with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die. The RX 7700 requires a 550 W suggested PSU and dual 8-pin power connectors, while the Arc A310E draws power without external connectors and needs only a 250 W suggested PSU.

The Arc A310E offers four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, which exceeds the RX 7700's output configuration of one HDMI 2.1a, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C. For multi-display embedded deployments, the Arc A310E's four outputs provide a clear advantage. For raw graphics throughput, the RX 7700's data shows overwhelming superiority in every measured compute and rendering metric.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one definitive selection: the AMD Radeon RX 7700 is the higher-performance part by a substantial margin based on its benchmark scores and architectural specifications. Its 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs, average benchmark score of 15852, and 20974 PassMark G3D result indicate a capable graphics processor. The Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark scores, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of zero.

The RX 7700 delivers 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 versus 3.072 TFLOPS for the Arc A310E, a factor of roughly 8.2x. Memory bandwidth favors the RX 7700 at 624.1 GB/s versus 124.0 GB/s, a 5x difference. The RX 7700's 16 GB memory capacity quadruples the Arc A310E's 4 GB. Pixel rate and texture rate show similar gaps: 236.1 GPixel/s versus 32.00 GPixel/s, and 393.4 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s.

The Arc A310E's advantages are physical and power-related, not performance-related. It is a single-slot card at 168 mm length, 69 mm height, and 20 mm width, with no power connectors and a 75 W TDP. The RX 7700 is dual-slot, measures 267 mm by 135 mm by 50 mm, uses two 8-pin connectors, and has a 200 W TDP. The Arc A310E is also marked end-of-life, while the RX 7700 is active production.

For users requiring maximum graphics performance, the RX 7700 is the only choice supported by the data. For compact, low-power systems where four mini-DisplayPort outputs and minimal physical footprint matter more than raw throughput, the Arc A310E fits that specific niche. The RX 7700's nearest rivals, all within 1.7% of its average score, confirm it competes in the mid-range segment rather than the embedded low-power tier the Arc A310E occupies.
