Intel Arc A380E vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Arc A380E and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile. The Intel Arc A380E has no benchmark entries, while the NVIDIA GPU has ten recorded test scores. The data therefore requires a comparison based on the NVIDIA part's absolute scores and its position among rivals, alongside the architectural and specification gaps between the two products.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3013.5. In Geekbench, it records 96969 for OpenCL and 96451 for Vulkan. Passmark results show 18852 for G3D, 7607 for GPU compute, 876 for G2D, and lower legacy scores: 203 for DirectX 9, 168 for DirectX 11, 119 for DirectX 10, and 87 for DirectX 12. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 22435. The Intel Arc A380E has no recorded average score, leaving its performance unquantified in the database.

The RTX 5060 Mobile holds a 67th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, by average score, are the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT at 22549 (a delta of -0.5%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile at 22729 (delta of -1.3%), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 at 22170 (delta of 1.2%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6700S at 22154 (delta of 1.3%). These deltas indicate the 5060 Mobile sits within a tight cluster, roughly one percent above or below each competitor. The Intel Arc A380E has no nearest rivals listed, so no comparable positioning exists.

The absence of head-to-head tests means the data cannot show a direct win for either product. The RTX 5060 Mobile's scores, however, place it firmly in a mid-range performance tier. The Arc A380E, with zero benchmark entries, cannot be positioned relative to that tier from recorded measurements alone.

Where Each One Wins

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile, the data shows clear wins in every recorded benchmark category. It posts a Passmark G3D score of 18852, which reflects general 3D rendering performance. Its GPU compute score of 7607 indicates strong compute throughput. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 96969 and Vulkan score of 96451 show consistent performance across different API workloads. Legacy DirectX scores, while lower in absolute terms, still demonstrate functional capability: 203 for DirectX 9, 168 for DirectX 11, 119 for DirectX 10, and 87 for DirectX 12.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3013.5 is a modern workload result. The average benchmark score of 22435, combined with the 67th percentile ranking, suggests the GPU performs above the median of all recorded GPUs. The nearest rival data reinforces this: the 5060 Mobile is effectively tied with the RX 7700 XT and RTX 4060 Mobile, while slightly ahead of the RX 5700 and RX 6700S by about 1.2% to 1.3%.

For the Intel Arc A380E, there are no recorded benchmark wins. The database lists zero scores and zero wins in any category. The only data available are specifications, which indicate a smaller configuration: 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 raster operations units, and 8 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5060 Mobile uses 3328 shading units, 104 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 26 ray tracing cores, and 104 tensor cores. These figures, while not benchmark scores, imply a substantial difference in raw computational resources, but the benchmark data itself does not quantify the Arc A380E's performance.

The use-case split from the data is therefore one-sided. The RTX 5060 Mobile has measurable wins across all recorded tests. The Arc A380E has no measurable wins, so no workload can be assigned to it based on recorded performance.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile as the only product with quantified performance. Its average benchmark score of 22435 and 67th percentile ranking place it above the median GPU in the database. The Intel Arc A380E, with no benchmark scores and no percentile ranking, cannot be compared on measured performance. Its percentileVsAllGpus field shows 50, but with an average score of 0, this percentile appears unsubstantiated by any actual test data.

For users selecting based on the database results, the RTX 5060 Mobile is the clear choice from a performance standpoint. Its scores align closely with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (within 0.5%) and the RTX 4060 Mobile (within 1.3%), indicating it performs in a similar tier to those products. The Arc A380E offers no recorded performance data to support a selection.

The Arc A380E does have a production status of "End-of-life," while the RTX 5060 Mobile is "Active." The release dates differ, with the Arc A380E launching on 2024-03-31 and the RTX 5060 Mobile on 2025-05-19. The Arc A380E's predecessor is listed as Xe Graphics, and its successor is Battlemage, suggesting it is a transitional product. The RTX 5060 Mobile's predecessor is GeForce 40 Mobile, with no successor listed.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: the RTX 5060 Mobile is the only product with demonstrated performance, and its scores place it in a competitive mid-range segment. The Arc A380E cannot be recommended on measured grounds because no measurements exist.
