AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not include a direct head-to-head benchmark suite for these two GPUs. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT has a full set of ten benchmark entries, while the Intel Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of comparative measurements means the analysis must rely on the AMD card's absolute scores and its position relative to its own nearest rivals, rather than a direct comparison between the two.

The RX 7600 XT posts an average benchmark score of 17,083 across all recorded tests. Its percentile ranking places it in the 60th percentile of all GPUs tracked. The best individual result comes from Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 92,426, while the Geekbench Vulkan test yields 48,366. In Passmark tests, the G3D score is 17,132, and the GPU compute score reaches 8,987. The DirectX 9 test shows 228, DirectX 11 shows 167, and DirectX 10 shows 85. The DirectX 12 result is 65, and the G2D score is 1,030. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test records 2,348.

Against its nearest rivals, the RX 7600 XT sits within a tight cluster. It trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 by 0.7%, with the RTX 3070 averaging 17,208. It leads the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 by 0.3% (17,037 average), the AMD Radeon HD 7970M by 0.4% (17,019), and the NVIDIA Tesla M4 by 0.9% (16,932). These deltas are small, indicating the RX 7600 XT performs essentially at parity with that group, despite the generational and architectural differences among them.

The Intel Arc A310E has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals listed in the database. It does carry a percentile ranking of 50, which places it at the median of all GPUs, but without measured scores, that percentile cannot be tied to any specific performance level. The data simply does not support a quantitative head-to-head comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural families. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on the Navi 33 chip, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The Intel Arc A310E uses the Xe-HPG architecture, built on the DG2-128 chip, and belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation.

Both are fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but the die sizes and transistor counts differ substantially. The RX 7600 XT contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The Arc A310E contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per mm². The AMD chip packs nearly twice the transistors into a larger area, with a density advantage of roughly 42%.

The compute resources diverge sharply. The RX 7600 XT has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Arc A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 ray tracing cores. The AMD card has 2.7 times the shading units, 4 times the TMUs, and 4 times the ROPs. Its ray tracing core count is more than 5 times higher.

Clock behavior also differs. The RX 7600 XT has a base clock of 1980 MHz, a boost clock of 2755 MHz, and a game clock of 2470 MHz. The Arc A310E has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz, with no game clock listed. The Intel part runs at a fixed frequency, while the AMD part boosts substantially above its base.

Memory configurations are very different. The RX 7600 XT uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc A310E uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, yielding 124.0 GB/s. The AMD card has 4 times the capacity and 2.3 times the bandwidth. Memory clocks also differ: the RX 7600 XT runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the Arc A310E runs at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective).

Compute throughput numbers reflect the scale difference. The RX 7600 XT delivers 22.57 TFLOPS FP32 and 22.57 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). The Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 and 6.144 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The AMD card is roughly 7.3 times faster in FP32. Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern: 176.3 GPixel/s and 352.6 GTexel/s for the RX 7600 XT, versus 32.00 GPixel/s and 64.00 GTexel/s for the Arc A310E.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The display outputs differ: the RX 7600 XT has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Arc A310E has 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. Both use a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT has a full benchmark profile with an average score of 17,083 and a 60th percentile ranking. The Intel Arc A310E has no benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. On the basis of measured data, the RX 7600 XT is the only one of the two with verified performance.

The RX 7600 XT also holds structural advantages in every compute category: shading units, TMUs, ROPs, ray tracing cores, memory capacity, memory bandwidth, FP32 throughput, pixel rate, and texture rate. Its transistor count is nearly double, and its die is larger. The Arc A310E counters with a lower power draw (75 W versus 190 W), a single-slot form factor, no external power connectors, and a smaller physical footprint (168 mm length versus 204 mm).

The Arc A310E is listed as end-of-life, while the RX 7600 XT is active. The Intel part has no launch MSRP in the database; the AMD part has a launch MSRP of 329 USD. The data does not support any scenario where the Arc A310E outperforms the RX 7600 XT in measured benchmarks, because no measurements exist for the Intel card.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT wins in every measurable performance category. Its average benchmark score of 17,083 places it in the 60th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival comparisons show it within 0.9% of a group that includes the RTX 3070. The card's 16 GB memory capacity and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth give it a substantial edge for texture-heavy workloads. Its 22.57 TFLOPS FP32 and 176.3 GPixel/s pixel rate suggest strong rasterization and compute throughput. The 32 ray tracing cores provide dedicated hardware for ray-traced workloads. The active production status and launch MSRP of 329 USD indicate ongoing availability.

The Intel Arc A310E wins in physical and power efficiency categories. Its 75 W TDP is less than half the RX 7600 XT's 190 W. It requires no external power connectors, fits in a single slot, and measures 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, making it shorter and narrower than the AMD card. Its suggested PSU of 250 W is 200 W lower than the RX 7600 XT's 450 W recommendation. The 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs offer a different display configuration. These traits make it suitable for compact or low-power systems, but the database contains no benchmark scores to establish its performance level.

The data leaves no ambiguity: the RX 7600 XT is the higher-performing part across all recorded metrics, while the Arc A310E offers lower power draw and a smaller footprint. Without benchmarks for the Intel card, any performance comparison is impossible, and the RX 7600 XT stands as the only one of the two with verified results in the database.
