Intel Arc A380E vs Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Arc A380E and the Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 shows no direct head-to-head benchmark entries, meaning there are no measured scores comparing these two parts in a controlled test. The database lists zero wins for each side in their matchup, and the average benchmark score for both is recorded as zero. This absence of empirical results means the comparison must rely entirely on the architectural specifications and derived performance indicators provided in the database.

The most significant gap between the two lies in raw compute throughput. The LX 7G100 delivers 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Arc A380E provides 4.096 TFLOPS. This represents a sixfold difference in single-precision floating-point capability, a margin that would dominate any compute-bound workload. In FP16 calculations, the gap persists at the same ratio: 49.15 TFLOPS against 8.192 TFLOPS, with both parts using a 2:1 ratio for FP16 versus FP32. Such a difference suggests the Lisuan part is positioned for substantially heavier parallel workloads, while the Intel part targets more modest tasks.

Memory throughput shows a similarly lopsided comparison. The LX 7G100 has 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, more than double the 186.0 GB/s of the Arc A380E. The Lisuan card also carries 12 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit bus, whereas the Intel card uses 6 GB across a 96-bit bus. The effective memory clock on the Lisuan is 18 Gbps, compared to 15.5 Gbps on the Intel. These figures indicate that the LX 7G100 can feed its larger shader array much more effectively, reducing the likelihood of memory-bound stalls in high-resolution or texture-heavy scenarios.

Texture and pixel throughput further reinforce the hierarchy. The LX 7G100 reaches 384.0 GTexel/s and 192.0 GPixel/s, while the Arc A380E manages 128.0 GTexel/s and 64.00 GPixel/s. The Lisuan part triples the pixel fill rate and triples the texture fill rate, which would translate into a decisive advantage in rasterization-heavy tasks such as high-detail 3D rendering or multi-sample anti-aliasing. The LX 7G100 also carries 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, compared to 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs on the Intel part. Every major execution resource is larger on the Lisuan card.

The Intel Arc A380E does hold a few advantages in the specification sheet, though none of them translate into raw performance wins. Its memory runs at a base clock of 2000 MHz with a boost clock of 2000 MHz, whereas the LX 7G100 lists no base or boost clocks. The Intel card supports DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, while the Lisuan card only offers DisplayPort 1.4a. The Arc A380E also has 8 dedicated ray tracing cores, whereas the LX 7G100 lists no RT core count. However, the absence of RT cores on the Lisuan part does not automatically mean inferior ray tracing performance, as the architecture could handle those calculations through other means, but the database provides no measured evidence either way.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear separation in intended use cases. The Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 is the substantially more capable compute and rasterization device. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate place it in a performance tier far above the Intel Arc A380E. For anyone running GPU-intensive applications such as large-scale rendering, scientific simulation, or high-resolution gaming, the LX 7G100 is the only rational choice based on these numbers.

The Intel Arc A380E, by contrast, appears positioned for low-power, space-constrained, or legacy-compatibility scenarios. Its 75 W TDP, single-slot form factor, and lack of external power connectors make it suitable for systems where power delivery and physical space are limited. The 250 W suggested PSU figure for the Intel card, against 550 W for the Lisuan, underscores this difference. The Arc A380E also supports DisplayPort 2.0, which may matter for certain high-bandwidth display configurations, and it includes dedicated RT cores, which the Lisuan part does not list.

Both cards share the same 6 nm TSMC process node and both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. However, the Lisuan card supports Vulkan 1.3, while the Intel card supports Vulkan 1.4. The Intel generation is designated as Alchemist (Arc 3) with an end-of-life production status, whereas the Lisuan is marked as active with a release date later in the database. Neither card has a recorded launch MSRP, and both show a 50th percentile against all GPUs, which is a placeholder value given the absence of benchmark scores.

The reasonable conclusion from the recorded data: the LX 7G100 is built for performance, the Arc A380E is built for efficiency and compactness. There is no scenario in the data where the Intel card outruns the Lisuan in raw throughput, but there are scenarios where the Intel card fits a system the Lisuan cannot.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc A380E uses the DG2-128 chip based on the Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to 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 Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 uses the 7G106 chip with an architecture labeled TrueGPU, also on a 6 nm TSMC process, but the database records its transistor count and die size as unknown, with no density figure. Both parts therefore share the same manufacturing node, but the Lisuan chip is clearly larger in terms of execution resources, given its 6144 shading units versus 1024 on Intel.

The memory subsystems differ not just in capacity and bandwidth but in bus width. The LX 7G100 runs a 192-bit bus with 12 GB of GDDR6 at 18 Gbps effective, while the Arc A380E runs a 96-bit bus with 6 GB at 15.5 Gbps effective. The Lisuan card also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, halving the host interface bandwidth. For data transfers between CPU and GPU, the wider bus on the Lisuan part reduces potential bottlenecks.

Feature sets diverge in several areas. The Intel part has 8 RT cores, which the Lisuan does not list. The Intel card supports Vulkan 1.4, a newer version than the Lisuan's Vulkan 1.3. Display output also differs: the Arc A380E provides 4x DisplayPort 2.0, while the LX 7G100 provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a. The Intel part has a base and boost clock of 2000 MHz, whereas the Lisuan lists no clocks for the GPU core, only the memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). This absence of clock data for the Lisuan core makes it impossible to assess its frequency behavior from the database.

Power and physical specifications are markedly different. The Arc A380E is rated at 75 W TDP, is single-slot, requires no external power connectors, and has a suggested PSU of 250 W. It measures 254 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The LX 7G100 is rated at 225 W TDP, is dual-slot, requires a single 8-pin power connector, and has a suggested PSU of 550 W. It measures 294 mm in length, 120 mm in height, and 49 mm in width. The Lisuan card is longer and thicker but slightly shorter in height.

Production statuses differ as well. The Arc A380E is marked end-of-life, with a release date of 2024-03-31 and a predecessor listed as Xe Graphics and a successor as Battlemage. The LX 7G100 is marked active, with a release date of 2026-06-17 and no predecessor or successor listed. The Intel part therefore comes from a concluded product cycle, while the Lisuan part is current.

Where Each One Wins

The Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 wins in every measured performance category in the database. Its FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS dwarfs the 4.096 TFLOPS of the Arc A380E. Its memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s more than doubles the Intel part. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s triple the respective figures on the Arc A380E. For any application that stresses the shader array, the memory bus, or the render output units, the LX 7G100 is the superior option based on the recorded specifications.

The LX 7G100 also wins on capacity and interface width. With 12 GB of memory, 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, it has resources for larger datasets and more complex scenes. The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface gives it twice the host bandwidth of the Intel card's PCIe 4.0 x8. The active production status and later release date suggest it is a current product, whereas the Intel part is end-of-life.

The Intel Arc A380E wins in efficiency and physical integration. Its 75 W TDP requires no external power connector and a 250 W PSU, making it viable for small form factor builds or systems with limited power budgets. The single-slot design with a 20 mm width and 254 mm length fits into tighter chassis than the dual-slot 49 mm thick, 294 mm long Lisuan card. The Arc A380E also supports DisplayPort 2.0, which provides a newer display interface standard than the DisplayPort 1.4a on the Lisuan. The Intel part includes 8 RT cores, giving it a listed capability for ray tracing that the Lisuan does not specify.

The Intel card supports Vulkan 1.4, a newer API version than the Vulkan 1.3 on the Lisuan, which could matter for certain validation suites or specific driver features. However, no benchmark data exists to confirm any real-world advantage from this version difference.

For multi-display setups, both cards offer four DisplayPort outputs, so neither wins on output count. For raw performance, the LX 7G100 is the clear choice. For low-power, compact, or legacy-compatible systems, the Arc A380E holds the advantage. The database shows no measured overlap in their performance envelopes, so the decision reduces to whether the workload demands raw throughput or minimal system impact.
