AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs Intel Arc A380M Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between these two GPUs, primarily because the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has measurable benchmark scores while the Intel Arc A380M has none recorded in the database. The AMD part shows an average benchmark score of 63,830 across its two tests, placing it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs. The Intel Arc A380M sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, indicating no completed or recorded performance tests in the database.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins in every measurable category. Its Geekbench OpenCL score reaches 88,183, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 39,476. These numbers establish a clear performance baseline for the AMD card. The Intel Arc A380M has no corresponding scores, so any direct comparison of benchmark outcomes is impossible. The database simply lacks the data points needed to assess Intel's GPU in the same way.

The use-case split therefore falls along data availability lines rather than performance characteristics. The AMD card demonstrates strong compute capabilities through its recorded scores. The Intel card remains an unknown quantity in terms of measured performance, despite being an active product with a release date in the database.

Looking at the AMD card's nearest rivals adds context to its positioning. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX shows an average score of 63,842 with a 0 percent delta, making it essentially identical in performance. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775, just 0.1 percent behind. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, 0.2 percent behind. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64,212, putting it 0.6 percent ahead of the RX 9060 XT LP. These narrow deltas indicate the RX 9060 XT LP sits in a tightly competitive performance tier.

The architecture data reveals why the AMD card likely dominates the Intel part in raw throughput. The RX 9060 XT LP uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die. The Intel Arc A380M uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die. The transistor count difference is substantial, with AMD packing over four times as many transistors into a die that is only 42 mm² larger.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is the only one of these two GPUs with any recorded performance evidence. Anyone requiring measured benchmark results must select the AMD card, as the Intel Arc A380M has no scores in the database to evaluate. The AMD card's 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs further reinforces its position as the higher-performing option based on available data.

The Intel Arc A380M, while active and released, offers no benchmark scores for comparison. Its 50th percentile ranking appears based on its specification profile rather than measured results. The database records no wins for either GPU in head-to-head benchmarks because no such benchmarks exist in the records. The AMD card wins by default in every category where data exists.

For users prioritizing measured compute performance, the RX 9060 XT LP delivers a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,183 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 39,476. These are the only two benchmark results recorded for either product, and both belong to the AMD card. The Intel card cannot match what it does not have recorded.

The specification gap between the two cards is considerable. The AMD card offers 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 322.3 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel card offers 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus with 186.0 GB/s bandwidth. These specifications alone suggest the AMD card handles larger workloads and higher-resolution textures more effectively.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark section in the database contains no entries. The wins counter shows zero for both the AMD card and the Intel card. This absence of direct comparison data means the only available performance information comes from the AMD card's individual benchmark scores and the Intel card's complete lack of measured results.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP records a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,183. This result stands as the highest single benchmark score between the two products. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 39,476 provides a second data point, showing the card's performance under a different graphics API workload. Both scores contribute to the average benchmark score of 63,830, which places the card in the 89th percentile of all GPUs.

The Intel Arc A380M has no benchmark scores listed. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and its percentile ranking of 50 appears to derive from its specification sheet rather than any performance validation. Without recorded scores, the database cannot establish a single performance data point for this GPU.

The nearest rivals for the AMD card demonstrate how close the competitive field is at this performance level. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX matches the RX 9060 XT LP almost exactly with a 0 percent delta. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M trails by just 0.1 percent, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 trails by 0.2 percent. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 leads by 0.6 percent. These margins are remarkably tight, showing the RX 9060 XT LP competes in a dense performance cluster.

The AMD card's FP32 compute rating of 24.99 TFLOPS vastly exceeds the Intel card's 4.096 TFLOPS. The texture rate of 390.4 GTexel/s for the AMD card compares to 128.0 GTexel/s for the Intel card. The pixel rate of 195.2 GPixel/s for the AMD card compares to 64.00 GPixel/s for the Intel card. Each of these metrics shows the AMD card holding a clear specification advantage.
