Intel Arc A380E x2 vs Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark runs for these two parts. The database shows zero wins for each side in the head-to-head table, and no individual benchmark scores are listed for either product. Without measured frame rates, compute scores, or synthetic test results, a direct performance comparison cannot be derived from the available facts.

What can be compared is the theoretical throughput ceiling derived from each card's published specifications. The Intel Arc A380E x2 uses a DG2-128 chip with 1,024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster operation pipelines. Its FP32 compute rate is 4.096 TFLOPS, with FP16 reaching 8.192 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA, built around the 7G105 chip, carries 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Its FP32 throughput is 24.58 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 49.15 TFLOPS at the same 2:1 ratio. Dividing the LX ULTRA's FP32 figure by the A380E's yields a 6.0x theoretical advantage in raw shader throughput.

Pixel and texture fill rates follow the same pattern. The A380E x2 delivers 64.00 GPixel/s and 128.0 GTexel/s, while the LX ULTRA delivers 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. The Lisuan part is exactly 3.0x faster in both fill-rate metrics. Memory bandwidth also favors the LX ULTRA: 432.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s, a 2.32x gap. The LX ULTRA's 24 GB frame buffer is 4.0x the capacity of the A380E's 6 GB.

Both cards occupy the 50th percentile against all GPUs in the database, meaning neither is positioned as an outlier in the overall distribution. The absence of rival listings and benchmark scores leaves specification-level analysis as the only quantitative path.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages. The Intel part uses the Xe-HPG architecture, specifically the DG2-128 chip from the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. The Lisuan part uses a proprietary "TrueGPU" architecture built around the 7G105 chip from the 7G100 generation. Both are fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but the similarities end there.

The Intel die integrates 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 45.9M per mm². The Lisuan chip's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so its density cannot be calculated. The A380E x2 includes 8 dedicated ray tracing cores, while the LX ULTRA lists no ray tracing core count. Neither card lists tensor cores in the database.

API support differs in the Vulkan version. The Intel card supports Vulkan 1.4, while the Lisuan card supports Vulkan 1.3. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6, meaning feature-level parity in Microsoft's graphics stack but a version gap in the cross-platform API.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The A380E x2 runs GDDR6 at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective) across a 96-bit bus. The LX ULTRA runs GDDR6 at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus. Effective memory clock is 1.16x higher on the Lisuan part, and the bus is 2.0x wider, combining for the 2.32x bandwidth advantage noted earlier.

Physical design also differs. The A380E x2 is a single-slot card at 265 mm long, 127 mm tall, and 20 mm wide, powered by a single 6-pin connector. The LX ULTRA is a dual-slot card at 268 mm long, 112 mm tall, and 40 mm wide, powered by a single 16-pin connector. The Lisuan card is slightly longer but shorter in height, and its width is 2.0x that of the Intel card.

The Verdict

The data describes two very different products. The Intel Arc A380E x2 is a compact, low-power, single-slot card with 8 ray tracing cores, 6 GB of memory, and 4.096 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. It is end-of-life, released on 2024-03-31, and draws 130 W with a 300 W suggested power supply. The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA is an active, dual-slot card with 24 GB of memory, 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, a 225 W TDP, and a 550 W suggested power supply. It has no listed ray tracing cores and supports an older Vulkan revision.

For workloads that depend on raw shader throughput, fill rate, or memory bandwidth, the LX ULTRA holds a decisive specification advantage across every measured category. Its 6.0x shading unit count, 3.0x fill rates, 2.32x bandwidth, and 4.0x memory capacity make it the stronger candidate for compute-heavy or high-resolution rendering tasks. The Intel card counters with dedicated ray tracing hardware, a newer Vulkan version, a lower power draw, and a smaller physical footprint.

Neither card has recorded benchmark scores or nearest rival entries, so the verdict rests entirely on listed specifications. The A380E x2 suits environments where space, power, and multi-display output matter. The LX ULTRA suits environments where compute capacity and memory volume are the priority.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Arc A380E x2 wins on:

• Ray tracing: 8 dedicated RT cores versus none listed on the LX ULTRA.
• API version: Vulkan 1.4 support versus Vulkan 1.3.
• Display outputs: 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 versus 4x DisplayPort 1.4a, with a newer DisplayPort standard.
• Power efficiency: 130 W TDP versus 225 W, with a 300 W suggested PSU versus 550 W.
• Physical footprint: single-slot, 20 mm wide versus dual-slot, 40 mm wide.
• Availability status: end-of-life but with a known die size and transistor count for planning purposes.

Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA wins on:

• Shader throughput: 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 versus 4.096 TFLOPS, a 6.0x margin.
• Half-precision compute: 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 versus 8.192 TFLOPS.
• Fill rates: 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s and 128.0 GTexel/s.
• Memory: 24 GB versus 6 GB, 192-bit versus 96-bit bus, 432.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s bandwidth.
• Bus interface: PCIe 4.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8.
• Production status: active versus end-of-life.

The benchmark database contains no measured results for either card, so these categories reflect specification-derived strengths only. Any purchasing or deployment decision would require actual performance data, which is currently absent from the record.
