Intel Arc A310E vs NVIDIA Jetson T4000 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc A310E and the NVIDIA Jetson T4000. Neither product has an average benchmark score, and the wins counter for each side is zero. The database lists both parts at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, which places them at the median of the recorded performance distribution, but without actual measured scores, no direct performance comparison can be quantified.

The Intel Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the NVIDIA Jetson T4000 delivers 4.700 TFLOPS. This indicates the Jetson T4000 holds a 53% advantage in raw single-precision floating-point throughput. In FP16 operations, the Arc A310E reaches 6.144 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio, while the Jetson T4000 sustains 4.700 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The Arc A310E leads in half-precision throughput by approximately 31%, but the Jetson T4000 maintains full-rate FP16 without the architectural shaving that the Arc part applies.

Pixel throughput favors the Intel part. The Arc A310E achieves 32.00 GPixel/s compared to 24.48 GPixel/s for the Jetson T4000, a lead of roughly 31%. Texture throughput reverses the order: the Jetson T4000 produces 73.44 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s for the Arc A310E, an advantage of about 15%. Memory bandwidth strongly favors the NVIDIA part at 273.2 GB/s against 124.0 GB/s for Intel, a 2.2x difference.

Clock speeds show the Arc A310E running at a fixed 2000 MHz for both base and boost, while the Jetson T4000 holds a flat 1530 MHz. The Intel part operates 31% higher in clock frequency, which partially compensates for its smaller shader count. The Jetson T4000 carries 1536 shading units, double the 768 units on the Arc A310E. TMU counts stand at 48 versus 32, while ROP counts are equal at 16 each.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A310E wins in scenarios that depend on pixel fill rate and half-precision math. Its 32.00 GPixel/s pixel throughput suits rasterization-heavy workloads with high resolution and multiple render targets. The 6.144 TFLOPS FP16 performance gives it an edge in applications that can exploit packed half-precision arithmetic, such as certain image processing pipelines and compute shaders. The Arc A310E also offers display outputs with 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0, making it suitable for multi-monitor configurations or video wall setups. Its single-slot design and 75 W TDP allow installation in compact chassis without auxiliary power connectors.

The NVIDIA Jetson T4000 wins in memory-bound and FP32-heavy tasks. Its 64 GB LPDDR5X memory capacity is 16 times larger than the Arc A310E's 4 GB, enabling datasets and models that would never fit in the Intel part's frame buffer. The 273.2 GB/s bandwidth supports large data movement, and the 4.700 TFLOPS FP32 throughput handles general compute workloads efficiently. The Jetson T4000 includes 64 tensor cores, which the Arc A310E lacks entirely, giving it a decisive advantage in neural network inference and training operations. Its 12 RT cores double the 6 RT cores on the Intel part, improving ray tracing throughput where that feature is available.

The Jetson T4000 also leads in texture-heavy workloads due to its 73.44 GTexel/s fill rate. Its 256-bit memory bus versus 64-bit on the Arc A310E explains the bandwidth disparity. The NVIDIA part uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, while the Intel part uses PCIe 4.0 x8, providing double the per-lane transfer rate for host communication. However, the Jetson T4000 has no display outputs, making it unsuitable for direct video presentation. It is an IGP form factor, measuring 87 mm by 100 mm by 15 mm, while the Arc A310E is a 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm add-in board.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip built on TSMC's 6 nm process, containing 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 45.9M per mm². The architecture is Xe-HPG, belonging to the Alchemist generation within the Arc 3 product family. The NVIDIA Jetson T4000 uses the GB10B chip fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process, with a 391 mm² die size. Transistor count is not recorded in the database. The architecture is Blackwell, part of the Server Blackwell generation. The process node difference, 6 nm versus 5 nm, gives the NVIDIA part a density advantage, though exact transistor numbers for the Jetson T4000 remain unlisted.

Memory configurations diverge substantially. The Arc A310E uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, running at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective transfer, producing 124.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Jetson T4000 uses 64 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus, running at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective transfer, producing 273.2 GB/s bandwidth. The memory type difference, discrete GDDR6 versus integrated LPDDR5X, reflects their intended deployment: the Arc A310E is a standalone graphics card, while the Jetson T4000 is an integrated GPU module.

Compute resources differ in scale and specialization. The Arc A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, 6 RT cores, and no tensor cores. The Jetson T4000 has 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, 16 ROPs, 12 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores. FP32 throughput on the Jetson T4000 reaches 4.700 TFLOPS against 3.072 TFLOPS on the Arc A310E. FP16 throughput reverses, with the Arc A310E at 6.144 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio and the Jetson T4000 at 4.700 TFLOPS using a 1:1 ratio. The 1:1 ratio on the Jetson T4000 means no throughput penalty for half-precision, while the Arc A310E halves its rate when using FP32.

API support separates the two completely. The Arc A310E supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Jetson T4000 lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, indicating it is not designed for conventional graphics APIs. The Jetson T4000 targets compute and embedded server workloads rather than interactive rendering. The Arc A310E includes 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, while the Jetson T4000 provides no outputs at all. Power draw sits at 75 W for the Intel part and 90 W for the NVIDIA part, with both suggesting a 250 W power supply and requiring no auxiliary power connectors. The Arc A310E is single-slot; the Jetson T4000 is an IGP module.

Production status differs: the Arc A310E is end-of-life, released on 2024-03-31, while the Jetson T4000 is active, released on 2026-01-04. The Intel part's predecessor is Xe Graphics and its successor is Battlemage. The NVIDIA part's predecessor is Server Hopper and its successor is Server Rubin. The Jetson T4000 has a launch MSRP of 1,999 USD, while the Arc A310E has no recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The data indicates two products with opposite design goals. The Intel Arc A310E is a conventional graphics card with display outputs, standard graphics API support, and a compact single-slot footprint. Its strengths lie in pixel fill rate, half-precision compute, and low power draw. The NVIDIA Jetson T4000 is a compute module without display capabilities, built for large memory workloads and tensor operations. Its 64 GB memory capacity, 64 tensor cores, and 273.2 GB/s bandwidth make it suitable for data-intensive inference tasks, while its 4.700 TFLOPS FP32 throughput provides solid general compute performance.

For users requiring direct video output, the Arc A310E is the only option with display connectors. Its 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs and DirectX 12 Ultimate support enable multi-monitor rendering and modern graphics workloads. The Jetson T4000 cannot drive a display and lacks conventional graphics APIs, so it has no role in interactive graphics.

For compute and machine learning, the Jetson T4000 dominates. The 16x memory capacity advantage over the Arc A310E, combined with 64 tensor cores and double the RT cores, positions it clearly ahead for neural network workloads. The Arc A310E has no tensor cores and only 6 RT cores, limiting its acceleration of AI and ray tracing tasks. The Jetson T4000's PCIe 5.0 x8 interface also provides twice the per-lane bandwidth of the Arc A310E's PCIe 4.0 x8, improving data transfer for large models.

The Arc A310E remains relevant for lightweight compute tasks that fit within 4 GB of memory and benefit from its FP16 throughput. Its 6.144 TFLOPS half-precision rate exceeds the Jetson T4000's 4.700 TFLOPS, and its 75 W TDP makes it easier to cool in constrained systems. However, the end-of-life production status limits long-term availability. The Jetson T4000 is active and newer, with a 5 nm process versus 6 nm, and its 90 W TDP is only 20% higher while delivering 53% more FP32 performance and 120% more memory bandwidth.
