AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT vs Intel Arc A380E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT and the Intel Arc A380E. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters for both products stand at zero. This means a direct, test-by-test comparison cannot be constructed from the recorded data.

However, the available benchmark results for the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT provide a clear picture of its performance tier. Its average benchmark score is 22,549, which places it in the 67th percentile of all GPUs tracked by the database. The Intel Arc A380E, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores; its average benchmark score is 0, and it sits in the 50th percentile. The absence of benchmark data for the A380E makes any quantitative performance comparison impossible based on the measurements available.

The RX 7700 XT's individual scores demonstrate its capability across a range of workloads. In PassMark G3D, it scores 22,547. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 138,383, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 46,443. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test returns 3,316 points. Compute performance is represented by a PassMark GPU Compute score of 12,912. These figures indicate a GPU with substantial rendering and compute throughput. The Arc A380E lacks any such recorded measurements, so the data cannot confirm whether it reaches, approaches, or falls short of these scores.

The nearest rivals for the RX 7700 XT provide context for its standing. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile has an average score of 22,435, which is 0.5% below the RX 7700 XT. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile scores 22,729, which is 0.8% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22,895, 1.5% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 scores 22,170, 1.7% lower. These deltas are small, indicating that the RX 7700 XT sits in a tightly contested performance band. The data shows a GPU that trades blows with these rivals within a narrow margin, rather than dominating or being dominated.

For the Arc A380E, the database lists no nearest rivals. Its percentile ranking of 50 suggests it sits at the median of all GPUs, but without scores, this rank cannot be validated or compared against the RX 7700 XT's 67th percentile. The recorded data simply does not support a quantitative head-to-head analysis.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is substantial, and the recorded specifications explain why. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT uses the Navi 32 chip, built on RDNA 3.0 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. The Intel Arc A380E uses the DG2-128 chip, based on Xe-HPG architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process, also by TSMC. The process node difference, 5 nm versus 6 nm, is a notable manufacturing distinction.

Transistor counts differ dramatically. The RX 7700 XT packs 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 81.2 million per square millimeter. The Arc A380E has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. The RX 7700 XT uses nearly four times the transistor budget, which translates into a much larger and denser chip.

The compute resources reflect this disparity. The RX 7700 XT has 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 54 ray tracing cores. The Arc A380E has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The RX 7700 XT has over three times the shading units and more than three times the TMUs, with triple the ROP count. Its ray tracing core count is nearly seven times higher.

Clock behavior also differs. The RX 7700 XT has a base clock of 1,435 MHz, a game clock of 2,171 MHz, and a boost clock of 2,544 MHz. The Arc A380E has a fixed clock of 2,000 MHz for both base and boost, with no separate game clock listed. The RX 7700 XT's boost clock exceeds the A380E's fixed clock by a significant margin, though the A380E's base clock is higher than the RX 7700 XT's base.

Memory configurations are another major split. The RX 7700 XT has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s and an effective memory clock of 18 Gbps. The Arc A380E has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 186.0 GB/s and an effective memory clock of 15.5 Gbps. The RX 7700 XT has twice the memory capacity, double the bus width, and more than double the bandwidth.

The rate-based metrics confirm the performance gap. The RX 7700 XT has a pixel rate of 244.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 549.5 GTexel/s. The Arc A380E has a pixel rate of 64.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 128.0 GTexel/s. The RX 7700 XT produces nearly four times the pixel throughput and over four times the texture throughput. In FP32 compute, the RX 7700 XT delivers 35.17 TFLOPS, while the Arc A380E delivers 4.096 TFLOPS. The FP16 figures differ in ratio: the RX 7700 XT offers 35.17 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the Arc A380E offers 8.192 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

Power and physical characteristics diverge as well. The RX 7700 XT has a TDP of 245 W, is a dual-slot card, requires two 8-pin power connectors, and suggests a 550 W PSU. The Arc A380E has a TDP of 75 W, is a single-slot card, uses no power connectors, and suggests a 250 W PSU. The RX 7700 XT is longer at 267 mm versus 254 mm, taller at 135 mm versus 127 mm, and wider at 50 mm versus 20 mm. The bus interface differs: PCIe 4.0 x16 for the RX 7700 XT, PCIe 4.0 x8 for the Arc A380E. Display outputs also differ, with the RX 7700 XT offering 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C, while the Arc A380E offers 4x DisplayPort 2.0.

The production statuses are not the same. The RX 7700 XT is marked as active, while the Arc A380E is end-of-life. The RX 7700 XT has a predecessor in Navi II and a successor in Navi IV, while the Arc A380E follows Xe Graphics and precedes Battlemage.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT as the significantly more capable GPU in nearly every measurable specification. Its FP32 compute is 35.17 TFLOPS versus 4.096 TFLOPS, its memory bandwidth is 432.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s, and its pixel rate is 244.2 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s. These are not marginal differences; the RX 7700 XT is an order of magnitude faster in some metrics.

The RX 7700 XT also has a clear advantage in memory capacity, with 12 GB versus 6 GB, which matters for larger textures and higher resolutions. Its active production status means it remains a current product, while the Arc A380E is end-of-life, suggesting the Intel part has been superseded.

The Arc A380E does have advantages, but they are in areas unrelated to raw performance. Its 75 W TDP is one-third of the RX 7700 XT's 245 W, and it draws power without any external connectors, making it simpler to install in constrained systems. Its single-slot design and smaller dimensions (254 mm length, 127 mm height, 20 mm width versus 267 mm, 135 mm, 50 mm) mean it fits in more compact chassis.

For users whose priority is maximum graphics throughput, the RX 7700 XT is the only choice supported by the data. Its 67th percentile ranking and benchmark scores, including 22,547 in PassMark G3D and 138,383 in Geekbench OpenCL, establish it as a mid-to-high performer. The Arc A380E has no scores to verify its 50th percentile position.

For users with severe power or space constraints, where a 245 W dual-slot card with two 8-pin connectors cannot be accommodated, the Arc A380E's 75 W single-slot design with no power connectors is a viable alternative, provided the performance trade-off is acceptable.

The Intel Arc A380E wins in power efficiency and physical footprint. Its 75 W TDP is far below the RX 7700 XT's 245 W, and it requires no external power connectors, whereas the RX 7700 XT needs two 8-pin connectors. The A380E's suggested PSU is 250 W versus 550 W for the RX 7700 XT. The A380E is also a single-slot card, allowing installation in slimmer systems, and its dimensions are smaller in every axis: 254 mm versus 267 mm in length, 127 mm versus 135 mm in height, and 20 mm versus 50 mm in width. It offers four DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, which is more display outputs than the RX 7700 XT's three (1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, 1x USB Type-C), though the RX 7700 XT's outputs include a USB Type-C option.

The RX 7700 XT has a higher base clock? No, the A380E's base clock of 2,000 MHz exceeds the RX 7700 XT's 1,435 MHz, but the RX 7700 XT's boost clock of 2,544 MHz surpasses the A380E's fixed 2,000 MHz. The A380E also has a lower transistor density at 45.9M / mm² versus 81.2M / mm², and it is built on an older 6 nm process versus the RX 7700 XT's 5 nm.

For workloads demanding maximum graphics compute, memory bandwidth, or ray tracing capability, the RX 7700 XT is the clear choice based on the data. For systems with limited power delivery, constrained chassis space, or a need for multiple DisplayPort outputs without external power, the Arc A380E has structural advantages, but with no recorded benchmark scores, its actual performance level cannot be confirmed from the database.
