Intel Arc A380M vs Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 Comparison

Intel Arc A380M and Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 occupy very different positions in the database, though both share the same overall percentile ranking. The recorded data shows the A380M is a 35 W mobile-class module built on the DG2-128 chip, while the LX 7G100 is a 225 W dual-slot desktop card built on the 7G106 chip. Benchmark results indicate a substantial performance gap between the two, driven primarily by differences in compute resources, memory configuration, and power envelope.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc A380M and the Lisuan Tech LX 7G100. Instead, the comparison relies on the recorded specifications and derived performance metrics. The most striking difference appears in FP32 compute. The LX 7G100 delivers 24.58 TFLOPS, while the A380M produces 4.096 TFLOPS. That places the LX 7G100 at roughly six times the raw floating-point throughput of the A380M. In FP16, the LX 7G100 reaches 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, versus 8.192 TFLOPS for the A380M, again a sixfold advantage.

Texture and pixel throughput follow the same pattern. The LX 7G100 achieves 384.0 GTexel/s and 192.0 GPixel/s, while the A380M records 128.0 GTexel/s and 64.00 GPixel/s. The LX 7G100 is exactly three times faster in both texture fill and pixel fill. Memory bandwidth shows a similar gap: the LX 7G100 operates at 432.0 GB/s across a 192-bit bus, while the A380M manages 186.0 GB/s across a 96-bit bus. The LX 7G100 provides 2.3 times the bandwidth of the A380M.

The A380M counters in a few areas. Its boost clock reaches 2000 MHz, with a base clock of 1550 MHz. The LX 7G100 has no recorded base or boost clock in the database, so clock-for-clock comparison is not possible. The A380M supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX 7G100 lists Vulkan 1.3. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The A380M also uses a smaller memory footprint at 6 GB, which may suit lower-resolution workloads, though the LX 7G100 doubles that with 12 GB.

The A380M includes 8 ray tracing cores, while the LX 7G100 lists no ray tracing cores in its specification. This is a notable architectural difference, as the A380M can offload ray tracing work to dedicated hardware, while the LX 7G100 relies on its general-purpose shading units. Neither card has recorded tensor cores in the database.

The LX 7G100 leads in raw resource counts across the board. It has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The A380M provides 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. In shading unit count, the LX 7G100 is exactly six times larger. In TMU count, it is three times larger. In ROP count, it is three times larger. These ratios align with the FP32 and fill rate differences observed above, confirming the LX 7G100 as the decisively higher-throughput part.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation of use cases. The Intel Arc A380M is a low-power, compact MXM module designed for portable or embedded systems. Its 35 W TDP and MXM-A (3.1) bus interface make it suitable for environments where space and thermal budgets are constrained. The Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 is a full-size dual-slot desktop card requiring a 550 W suggested power supply and a 1x 8-pin power connector. Its 294 mm length, 120 mm height, and 49 mm width place it firmly in the desktop tower category.

For workloads that depend on raw compute throughput, the LX 7G100 is the stronger choice by a wide margin. Its FP32 output of 24.58 TFLOPS and memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s position it as a high-performance desktop part. The A380M cannot match these figures, and no benchmark data in the database suggests otherwise. For workloads that require ray tracing, the A380M has dedicated hardware, while the LX 7G100 has none recorded. That makes the A380M the only option in this comparison with explicit ray tracing support.

The A380M also holds a software API advantage in Vulkan version support. It lists Vulkan 1.4, while the LX 7G100 lists Vulkan 1.3. Applications built around the newer Vulkan revision may have broader compatibility with the A380M. However, the LX 7G100 matches the A380M on DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, so the practical difference is limited to Vulkan-specific features.

Both parts share the same 6 nm process node and TSMC foundry, so manufacturing technology does not separate them. The A380M uses 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 45.9M per mm². The LX 7G100 has no recorded transistor count, die size, or density in the database. The A380M is the only one of the two with full die information available.

The LX 7G100 has a later release date of 2026-06-17, compared to the A380M's 2023-01-23. Both are marked as Active in production status. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP, so no price-based analysis is possible from the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs use fundamentally different architectures. The Intel Arc A380M is built on Xe-HPG architecture, specifically the Alchemist generation for Arc 3 Mobile. Its chip is designated DG2-128. The Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 uses an architecture called TrueGPU, with the chip designated 7G106 and a generation name of 7G100. These are unrelated design families with different origins and different design priorities.

The A380M's Xe-HPG architecture includes dedicated ray tracing cores, a feature absent from the LX 7G100's specification sheet. The A380M also has a higher Vulkan API version, 1.4 versus 1.3. The LX 7G100, by contrast, appears designed for massive parallel throughput, with 6144 shading units and 192 TMUs, suggesting a compute-focused design philosophy.

Both GPUs are manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The A380M's die size is 157 mm² with 7,200 million transistors. The LX 7G100's die size and transistor count are unknown in the database. The A380M's transistor density works out to 45.9M per mm², which is recorded directly. No density figure exists for the LX 7G100.

Memory architectures differ as well. The A380M uses 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus with 186.0 GB/s bandwidth. The LX 7G100 uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. Both use GDDR6 memory, but the LX 7G100 doubles the capacity, doubles the bus width, and nearly doubles the bandwidth. The memory clock differs too: the A380M runs at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective, while the LX 7G100 runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

The A380M has a pixel rate of 64.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 128.0 GTexel/s. The LX 7G100 has a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s. Both metrics are three times higher on the LX 7G100, which aligns with its larger ROP and TMU counts. The FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS on the LX 7G100 is six times the A380M's 4.096 TFLOPS, matching the sixfold difference in shading units.

Specification Differences

The most consequential specification difference is power consumption. The A380M draws 35 W, while the LX 7G100 draws 225 W. That is a 190 W gap, making the LX 7G100 roughly 6.4 times more power-hungry. The LX 7G100 requires a 550 W suggested power supply and a 1x 8-pin power connector. The A380M has no recorded power connector or suggested power supply, consistent with its MXM module form factor.

Physical dimensions differ sharply. The LX 7G100 measures 294 mm in length, 120 mm in height, and 49 mm in width. The A380M has no recorded dimensions, but its slot width is listed as MXM Module, indicating a compact mobile form factor. The LX 7G100 is dual-slot, while the A380M uses the MXM-A (3.1) bus interface.

The LX 7G100 connects via PCIe 4.0 x16 and provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The A380M's display outputs are listed as Portable Device Dependent, meaning they vary by the host device. The A380M has no recorded bus interface beyond MXM-A (3.1).

Memory capacity and bandwidth favor the LX 7G100. It has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s. The A380M has 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, delivering 186.0 GB/s. The effective memory clock is 18 Gbps on the LX 7G100 versus 15.5 Gbps on the A380M.

Shader resources favor the LX 7G100. It has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The A380M has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The LX 7G100 has no recorded ray tracing cores, while the A380M has 8. Neither has tensor cores.

API support differs only in Vulkan version. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The A380M supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX 7G100 supports Vulkan 1.3.

Release dates separate the two by over three years. The A380M was released on 2023-01-23, and the LX 7G100 on 2026-06-17. Both are currently Active in production. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded.
