AMD Instinct MI300 vs Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Instinct MI300 and the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU has a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733, placing it at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs in the database. The AMD Instinct MI300, by contrast, has no benchmark scores recorded and sits at the 50th percentile, though its average benchmark score is listed as 0. This absence of overlapping test data means direct numerical comparison is limited to the Intel part's nearest rivals.

Within its own performance tier, the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU is effectively tied with the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, both of which also score 733, resulting in a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M trails at 723, a 1.4% deficit, while the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M leads at 751, giving the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU a 2.4% gap behind. These figures indicate that the 64EU configuration occupies a narrow band of performance in the database, essentially indistinguishable from its lower EU-count siblings in this particular DX12 workload.

The AMD Instinct MI300, with no benchmark records, cannot be positioned against the Intel part through measured scores. The data instead reflects a fundamental difference in purpose: the MI300 is an accelerator with no display outputs, while the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU is an integrated graphics processor. The Intel part delivers 1.946 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, whereas the MI300 delivers 47.87 TFLOPS, a 24.6x difference in raw floating-point throughput. Pixel throughput also differs sharply, with the Intel part rated at 30.40 GPixel/s against the MI300's 0 MPixel/s, consistent with the latter's lack of a raster output stage.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Instinct MI300 is built on the CDNA 3.0 architecture with the chip designation Aqua Vanjaram and falls within the Instinct (MIx) generation. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU uses the Xe-LPG architecture on the Arrow Lake-S chip and belongs to the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation. Manufacturing processes differ by two nodes: the MI300 uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 3 nm process, also at TSMC. Transistor counts diverge substantially, with the MI300 containing 153,000 million transistors on a 1017 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 150.4M per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU integrates 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, for a density of 73.3M per mm².

Execution resources scale accordingly. The MI300 has 14,080 shading units, 880 texture mapping units, and no ROPs, whereas the Intel part has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The MI300 reports a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,496.0 GTexel/s; the Intel part reports 30.40 GPixel/s and 60.80 GTexel/s. FP16 throughput also differs in ratio: the MI300 delivers 47.87 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio to FP32, while the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU delivers 3.891 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

The MI300 uses HBM3 memory totaling 128 GB across an 8192-bit interface, delivering 5.32 TB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. Clock behavior differs as well: the MI300 has a 1000 MHz base and 1700 MHz boost, while the Intel part has a 300 MHz base and 1900 MHz boost. Both are fabricated by TSMC, but the Intel part is listed as an active production product with a release date of October 23, 2024, while the MI300 has a release date of January 3, 2023, and no production status. The MI300's predecessor is Radeon Instinct; the Intel part's predecessor is HD Graphics.

The Verdict

The data separates these two products by role rather than by direct competition. The AMD Instinct MI300 is a dedicated accelerator with no display outputs, a 600 W TDP, dual 8-pin power connectors, and a suggested PSU of 1000 W. Its 128 GB HBM3 pool and 5.32 TB/s bandwidth position it for large-scale compute workloads that exceed the memory capacity of any integrated solution. The absence of graphics APIs and raster outputs reinforces its purpose as a compute-first device.

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU is an integrated graphics processor, designated as IGP, with a 65 W TDP and no external power connectors. It relies on system shared memory, making its bandwidth dependent on the host platform. Its support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 confirms it as a general-purpose graphics solution for everyday rendering tasks. Its benchmark score of 733 places it at the 3rd percentile, and its nearest rivals are other low-end integrated or entry-level discrete parts, none of which exceed 751 points.

The MI300's 47.87 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput dwarfs the 1.946 TFLOPS of the Intel part, and its 1,496.0 GTexel/s texture rate far exceeds the 60.80 GTexel/s of the Intel part. However, the MI300 cannot output video, while the Intel part can drive displays as determined by the motherboard. The MI300 also requires substantially more power and physical space, with a length of 267 mm and height of 111 mm, whereas the Intel part has no listed dimensions as an integrated component. The recorded data indicates that the MI300 is intended for compute environments, while the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU serves as a built-in graphics solution for mainstream systems.
