AMD Radeon 8065S vs Intel Arc Graphics 24EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon 8065S and the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. The Radeon 8065S has no benchmark scores listed, while the Arc Graphics 24EU has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733 points. That score places the Intel part at the 3rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, a very low standing. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 64EU, both at identical 733 points with a 0% delta, the AMD Radeon HD 6470M at 723 points (1.4% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M at 751 points (2.4% ahead). The Radeon 8065S sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, meaning no measured performance data exists for it in the database. Without a shared benchmark run, a direct numerical comparison of frame rates or compute scores is not possible from the recorded data. What the data does show is a massive gap in theoretical throughput, which is covered in the specification sections below.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 8065S uses the Gorgon Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, part of the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 308 mm². Transistor count is listed as unknown. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip with Xe-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 243 mm² and a transistor count of 17,800 million, yielding a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². Both are integrated graphics processors (IGPs), but the silicon behind them differs substantially in scale and purpose.

The Radeon 8065S packs 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. It includes 40 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has only 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 6 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed. Clock behavior also diverges sharply. The Radeon 8065S runs at a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz. The Intel part operates at a base of 300 MHz and a boost of 2000 MHz. Pixel and texture rates reflect the hardware differences: the Radeon delivers 192.0 GPixel/s and 480.0 GTexel/s, while the Intel part delivers 12.00 GPixel/s and 24.00 GTexel/s. Floating point performance shows the Radeon at 15.36 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio), whereas the Intel part manages 768.0 GFLOPS for FP32 and 1.536 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1 ratio). The Radeon is more than twenty times faster in FP32 throughput on paper.

Memory architecture is identical in form: both use System Shared memory with System Shared type, bus width, and bandwidth that is System Dependent. Neither has dedicated VRAM. The bus interface differs, with the Radeon using PCIe 5.0 x16 and the Intel part using a Ring Bus. Display outputs are Portable Device Dependent for the Radeon and Motherboard Dependent for the Intel part. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon 8065S has a 55 W TDP, while the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has a 65 W TDP. Power connectors are listed as None for the Radeon and not specified for the Intel part. Release dates differ: the Radeon 8065S was released on 2025-12-31, while the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU was released on 2024-10-23. The predecessor of the Radeon is Polaris Mobile, and the predecessor of the Intel part is HD Graphics.

The die size difference is notable: the Radeon 8065S is 308 mm² versus 243 mm² for the Intel part, yet the Intel chip packs far more transistors (17,800 million versus unknown for AMD). The Intel part achieves a higher transistor density of 73.3M per mm², consistent with its smaller 3 nm node, but that density does not translate into graphics throughput. Both parts share the same memory configuration (System Shared), the same API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4), and the same slot width (IGP). Neither has a launch MSRP listed in the database.

The Verdict

The data in the database points to a lopsided comparison. The AMD Radeon 8065S holds every meaningful performance metric: 2,560 shading units versus 192, 160 TMUs versus 12, 64 ROPs versus 6, 40 ray tracing cores versus none, a 3000 MHz boost clock versus 2000 MHz, 15.36 TFLOPS FP32 versus 768.0 GFLOPS, and a 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate versus 12.00 GPixel/s. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has no recorded wins in any benchmark category, and its single 3DMark score of 733 places it at the 3rd percentile, alongside other low-end mobile parts like the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 64EU. The Radeon 8065S, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with no benchmark scores, meaning its performance class is unmeasured but its theoretical ceiling is far higher.

The Intel part does have advantages in a few narrow areas: a smaller process node (3 nm versus 4 nm), a lower transistor count at higher density, and a newer predecessor lineage (HD Graphics versus Polaris Mobile). However, these are manufacturing details, not performance advantages. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU also consumes 65 W versus 55 W for the Radeon, which means it draws more power while delivering a fraction of the compute. For anyone choosing between these two based on the recorded data, the Radeon 8065S is the clear pick for any graphics workload, from rasterization to ray tracing. The Intel part is only suitable for the most basic display output tasks, and even then its 3rd percentile standing among all GPUs signals very limited capability.

Where Each One Wins

AMD Radeon 8065S wins on raw compute and rendering throughput. The FP32 figure of 15.36 TFLOPS dwarfs the Intel part's 768.0 GFLOPS. The pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 480.0 GTexel/s are 16x and 20x higher, respectively, than the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. For any workload that stresses shaders, texturing, or fill rate, the Radeon is in a different class. The presence of 40 ray tracing cores gives it a hardware path for ray-traced effects that the Intel part cannot access at all. The higher boost clock of 3000 MHz also suggests better sustained performance under load, assuming thermal limits allow it.

AMD Radeon 8065S wins on efficiency per watt. Despite delivering roughly 20x the FP32 throughput, the Radeon is rated at 55 W TDP versus 65 W for the Intel part. The performance-per-watt gap is enormous on paper. The Radeon also uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which provides a wider and faster connection to the host system compared to the Intel part's Ring Bus, though both rely on system shared memory.

Intel Arc Graphics 24EU wins on manufacturing sophistication. The 3 nm process node is smaller than the 4 nm node used by the Radeon, and the transistor density of 73.3M per mm² is a listed advantage. The Intel chip also has a known transistor count of 17,800 million, whereas AMD's count is unknown. These are production details that indicate a denser, more modern fabrication process, but they do not translate into user-facing performance wins.

Intel Arc Graphics 24EU wins on release timing. It was released on 2024-10-23, over a year earlier than the Radeon 8065S, which was released on 2025-12-31. For a system builder needing an integrated GPU at an earlier date, the Intel part has availability precedence. However, the Radeon's later release also means it benefits from newer architecture design.

Benchmark presence is an Intel win, but not a performance win. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733, placing it at the 3rd percentile. The Radeon 8065S has no recorded benchmarks, so its real-world score remains unverified. The Intel part's score, however, is so low that it only competes with older mobile discrete GPUs like the Radeon HD 6470M and the GeForce GT 415M, both of which are within a few percentage points. The Radeon's theoretical specifications suggest it would outperform that score by a wide margin, but the database has no direct measurement to confirm it.
