Intel Arc A310E vs Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc A310E and the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA. Both entries list zero benchmark scores, zero wins, and an identical 50th percentile ranking against all GPUs. This absence of measured data makes direct performance comparisons impossible from the recorded information. What can be analyzed are the architectural and specification differences that would shape any future benchmark outcomes.

The Intel Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA delivers 24.58 TFLOPS, an eightfold difference. In FP16 throughput, the gap persists: 6.144 TFLOPS versus 49.15 TFLOPS. Pixel fill rates tell a similar story, with the LX ULTRA achieving 192.0 GPixel/s against the A310E's 32.00 GPixel/s. Texture rates diverge from 64.00 GTexel/s on the Intel part to 384.0 GTexel/s on the Lisuan part, a 6x spread.

Memory bandwidth amplifies the divide. The A310E uses a 64-bit bus with 4 GB of GDDR6, producing 124.0 GB/s. The LX ULTRA uses a 192-bit bus with 24 GB of GDDR6, producing 432.0 GB/s. This 3.5x bandwidth advantage, combined with 6x more memory capacity, positions the LX ULTRA for workloads that are bandwidth-bound or require large working sets. The A310E's 64-bit bus and 4 GB capacity constrain it to lighter tasks.

Shader resources follow the same pattern. The LX ULTRA packs 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. These are 8x, 6x, and 6x differences respectively. Ray tracing hardware exists only on the Intel side, with 6 RT cores listed; the Lisuan entry records no RT core count.

Clock behavior differs notably. The A310E runs at a fixed 2000 MHz for both base and boost, with no game clock listed. The LX ULTRA has no base, boost, or game clock recorded at all. Memory clocks, however, are specified: the A310E runs at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective), while the LX ULTRA runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). Despite the higher memory clock on the LX ULTRA, its bandwidth advantage stems primarily from the wider 192-bit bus.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded specifications, the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA wins in every compute and memory category. Its FP32 rate of 24.58 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS indicates dominance in general-purpose compute, including simulation, rendering, and scientific workloads. The 432.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 124.0 GB/s favors the LX ULTRA for high-resolution texturing, large dataset processing, and memory-intensive applications. The 24 GB frame buffer versus 4 GB allows the LX ULTRA to hold substantially larger scenes or models without swapping.

The LX ULTRA's 192 TMUs versus 32 TMUs gives it a clear advantage in texture-heavy workloads such as modern game engines with detailed material systems. Its 96 ROPs versus 16 ROPs doubles down on fill-rate-bound scenarios like high-resolution display output or multi-sample anti-aliasing. The 225 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU reflect a part designed for sustained high-load operation, whereas the A310E's 75 W TDP and 250 W suggested PSU indicate a low-power, space-constrained solution.

The Intel Arc A310E holds wins in specific areas. It is the only one of the two with ray tracing cores (6 RT cores), giving it a feature advantage in DirectX 12 Ultimate workloads that use ray-traced effects. The A310E also supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX ULTRA supports Vulkan 1.3, a version difference that matters for applications leveraging the newest Vulkan extensions. The A310E's display outputs are 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0, which supports higher display bandwidth than the LX ULTRA's 4x DisplayPort 1.4a. For multi-monitor setups with very high resolutions and refresh rates, the A310E's output standard is more future-proof.

The A310E is single-slot with no power connectors, while the LX ULTRA is dual-slot with a 16-pin connector. Physical dimensions reinforce this: the A310E measures 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, while the LX ULTRA measures 268 mm by 112 mm by 40 mm. The A310E fits in small-form-factor or low-profile systems where the LX ULTRA simply will not fit.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip built on the Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 45.9M per mm². The LX ULTRA uses the 7G105 chip based on a "TrueGPU" architecture from the 7G100 generation. It is also fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but its transistor count and die size are unknown, so density cannot be calculated.

The Intel architecture includes dedicated ray tracing hardware in the form of 6 RT cores, a feature absent from the Lisuan specification list. The A310E's Xe-HPG design also includes 768 shading units arranged in a configuration typical of entry-level Arc parts. The Lisuan TrueGPU architecture scales much larger, with 6144 shading units, suggesting a fundamentally different design philosophy aimed at raw throughput rather than specialized feature sets.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The A310E uses a 64-bit memory bus with 4 GB GDDR6, while the LX ULTRA uses a 192-bit bus with 24 GB GDDR6. The LX ULTRA's memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) exceeds the A310E's 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective). This combination of wider bus and higher clock produces 432.0 GB/s versus 124.0 GB/s. The 24 GB capacity on the LX ULTRA likely targets AI inference or large-scale rendering workloads where memory footprint is the limiting factor.

The A310E's PCIe interface is 4.0 x8, while the LX ULTRA uses 4.0 x16. This doubles the available host bandwidth for the Lisuan part, which matters for data transfer between CPU and GPU in compute workloads. The A310E's 75 W TDP versus 225 W TDP reflects the power envelope difference; the LX ULTRA requires a 16-pin power connector and a 550 W suggested PSU, while the A310E draws power solely from the slot.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every recorded specification. The A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs; the LX ULTRA has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The A310E includes 6 RT cores; the LX ULTRA lists none. The A310E's FP32 rate is 3.072 TFLOPS and FP16 is 6.144 TFLOPS (2:1); the LX ULTRA's FP32 is 24.58 TFLOPS and FP16 is 49.15 TFLOPS (2:1). Pixel rate is 32.00 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 64.00 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s.
