The Verdict

The benchmark data points to a clear but narrow winner. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 takes the only recorded head-to-head test, the Geekbench OpenCL benchmark, by 2.5%. Its average score of 7441 places it 13.1% above the AMD Radeon HD 7730M's average of 6581. For users choosing between these two end-of-life parts based strictly on measured compute performance, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 is the stronger pick.

That said, the AMD Radeon HD 7730M remains competitive in specific contexts. It carries twice the shading units, twice the texture mapping units, and twice the ROPs of the Intel part, and it has dedicated 2 GB DDR3 memory. The Intel chip relies on system shared memory, which makes its memory behavior system dependent. The AMD part also draws 25 W versus 15 W for the Intel part, so the Intel chip wins on power efficiency on paper.

The verdict depends on the use case. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 is the better choice for users who prioritize raw OpenCL compute results, a higher percentile standing, and lower power draw. The AMD Radeon HD 7730M is the better choice for users who need dedicated memory, a wider memory bus, and a larger number of execution units, even though its recorded benchmark scores trail slightly.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one direct head-to-head result: Geekbench OpenCL. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 scores 6743, and the AMD Radeon HD 7730M scores 6581. The Intel part wins by 2.5%.

Context from the nearest rivals clarifies the meaning of that margin. The Intel UHD Graphics 750's average score of 7441 places it between the AMD Radeon HD 8850M (7447, 0.1% higher) and the AMD Radeon R7 350 (7425, 0.2% lower). It sits just 0.4% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (7472) and 1.4% behind the Intel Arc A310 (7550). This means the Intel part is essentially at parity with a desktop card like the GTX 1650 in this database's aggregate metric.

The AMD Radeon HD 7730M's average of 6581 places it 0.4% above the Intel UHD Graphics P750 (6554) and 0.5% below the AMD Radeon R7 M460 (6612). It sits 1% above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M (6513) and 1.4% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M (6493). The AMD part's aggregate standing is roughly 11.6% below the Intel UHD Graphics 750's aggregate score.

The recorded data shows a modest but consistent gap. The Intel part wins the only direct test, and its aggregate score places it in a higher performance tier among nearby GPUs. The AMD part holds its own against older mobile and desktop parts, but it does not close the gap to the Intel chip in measured compute workloads.

Specification Differences

Where Each One Wins

The Intel UHD Graphics 750 wins in measured benchmark performance. It takes the only head-to-head test, Geekbench OpenCL, by 2.5%. Its average score of 7441 is 13.1% higher than the AMD part's 6581. It also holds a higher percentile ranking among all GPUs, at the 40th percentile versus the 38th percentile. Users who rely on OpenCL compute results should favor the Intel part.

The Intel part also wins on power draw. Its 15 W rating compares favorably to the AMD part's 25 W, making it the more efficient choice for systems where thermal and power budgets are tight. Its boost clock of 1300 MHz is nearly double the AMD part's 675 MHz, and its base clock of 300 MHz is lower, indicating a wider dynamic range.

The AMD Radeon HD 7730M wins on hardware resources. It has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, exactly double the Intel part's counts. It has dedicated 2 GB DDR3 memory with a fixed 128-bit bus and 28.80 GB/s bandwidth, which matters for workloads sensitive to memory latency and consistency, since the Intel part's memory performance is system dependent.

The AMD part also wins on raw peak throughput in two metrics. Its FP32 output of 691.2 GFLOPS exceeds the Intel part's 665.6 GFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 10.80 GPixel/s and texture rate of 21.60 GTexel/s both edge out the Intel part's 10.40 GPixel/s and 20.80 GTexel/s.

The AMD part's memory clock of 900 MHz (1800 Mbps effective) is a fixed specification, whereas the Intel part's memory clock is listed as system shared. For portable devices where the AMD part's display outputs are portable device dependent, this GPU may integrate more predictably into a mobile chassis.

The split is straightforward: the Intel UHD Graphics 750 wins on recorded benchmark scores, efficiency, and API versions. The AMD Radeon HD 7730M wins on raw hardware resources, dedicated memory, and peak throughput rates. Users prioritizing measured compute results should choose the Intel part; users prioritizing dedicated memory and a larger execution unit pool should choose the AMD part.
