AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D versus the Intel Arc G3. Both entries show an average benchmark score of 0 and no competing test results are listed. The absence of measured scores means the comparative performance picture must be assembled from the architectural and specification data recorded for each part.

What the data does show is a stark difference in raw compute output. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D delivers 24.82 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Intel Arc G3 delivers 6.144 TFLOPS. That places the AMD part at approximately four times the single-precision throughput of the Intel part. In FP16 compute, the AMD card again records 24.82 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part reaches 12.29 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The AMD part still leads, but the Intel architecture closes some ground in half-precision work due to its 2:1 FP16 acceleration.

Pixel throughput follows the same pattern. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D records 193.9 GPixel/s, compared to 48.00 GPixel/s for the Intel Arc G3. Texture rate shows a similar gap: 387.8 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s. These figures indicate that the AMD part has roughly a 4:1 advantage in both fill-rate metrics.

The gap in raw throughput is expected, given the class difference between the two products. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D is a discrete, single-slot add-in board with a 150 W TDP. The Intel Arc G3 is an integrated graphics processor with a 25 W TDP. The performance difference is consistent with the power envelope difference, though the efficiency relationship is not directly recorded in the database.

Both parts share the same API support. Each lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. For software that relies on these APIs, both parts are compatible with modern graphics features, but the recorded data does not include any feature-level benchmark to quantify that compatibility.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process at Intel. The AMD part is listed under the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi IV Series) generation, while the Intel part belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation.

Transistor counts differ dramatically. The AMD chip contains 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 151.0M per mm². The Intel die size and transistor count are listed as unknown in the database. The AMD part therefore has a fully documented physical design, while the Intel part's internal scale cannot be compared directly.

The AMD card uses 32 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256 bit bus, with a bandwidth of 576.0 GB/s. Memory clocks at 2250 MHz, which the database records as 18 Gbps effective. The Intel Arc G3 uses system shared memory. Its memory size, type, bus width, and bandwidth are all listed as system dependent. This is a fundamental architectural difference: the AMD part has dedicated VRAM, while the Intel part relies on the host system's memory subsystem.

Compute unit counts also diverge. The AMD part has 3072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 48 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. The AMD part has more than double the shading units, nearly five times the TMUs, and nearly five times the ROPs.

Clock behavior differs as well. The AMD card has a base clock of 1080 MHz, a boost clock of 2020 MHz, and a game clock of 1080 MHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with no game clock listed. The Intel part boosts to a higher absolute frequency, but the AMD part sustains a much higher base clock and carries far more execution resources.

Power delivery separates the two products completely. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D is a single-slot card requiring 1x 16-pin power connector and a 450 W suggested power supply. Its TDP is 150 W. The Intel Arc G3 is an IGP with no power connectors, no suggested PSU rating, and a 25 W TDP. The AMD card connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Intel part uses the IGP bus interface.

Physical presence also differs. The AMD card measures 241 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 19 mm in width. The Intel part has no recorded dimensions, as it is integrated into a processor package. The AMD card offers one DisplayPort 2.1a output. The Intel part's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The data describes two products with almost no overlap in intended use. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D is a discrete GPU with 32 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and 24.82 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The Intel Arc G3 is an integrated GPU with system shared memory, system dependent bandwidth, and 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

For workloads that demand dedicated memory capacity, sustained fill rates, and high compute throughput, the AMD part is the clear choice. Its 32 GB memory pool and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth are recorded in the database, while the Intel part has no dedicated memory at all. For applications that can run within the constraints of an integrated GPU, the Intel part's 25 W TDP and lack of external power connectors make it a low-power option.

The launch MSRP for each product is not recorded in the database, so no price-based comparison can be made.

The AMD card is in active production and was released on 2025-12-10. The Intel part is also in active production and was released on 2026-05-31. Neither part has a recorded successor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D wins in every recorded compute and memory metric. Its FP32 throughput of 24.82 TFLOPS is four times the Intel part's 6.144 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 24.82 TFLOPS is roughly double the Intel part's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 193.9 GPixel/s is four times the Intel part's 48.00 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 387.8 GTexel/s is four times the Intel part's 96.00 GTexel/s.

The AMD part also wins on memory capacity and bandwidth. It has 32 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory with 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part has no dedicated memory and its bandwidth is system dependent. For workloads that rely on large datasets or high memory throughput, the AMD part is the only option with recorded capability.

The Intel Arc G3 wins on power consumption and integration. Its 25 W TDP is one sixth of the AMD part's 150 W TDP. It requires no power connectors and no separate power supply rating, while the AMD card needs a 1x 16-pin connector and a 450 W suggested PSU. The Intel part is an IGP, meaning it occupies no slot and has no physical dimensions recorded. The AMD card is 241 mm long and takes one slot.

The Intel part also boosts to a higher clock. Its boost clock is 2400 MHz, compared to 2020 MHz for the AMD card. However, the AMD card's base clock of 1080 MHz is far higher than the Intel part's 300 MHz base clock, and the AMD card carries substantially more execution resources.

For use cases that fit within an integrated GPU, the Intel Arc G3 offers a full API feature set with a minimal power footprint. For use cases that require dedicated memory, high fill rates, or maximum compute throughput, the AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D is the part with the recorded specifications to deliver.
