AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs Intel Arc B390 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a limited set of directly comparable benchmark outputs for these two parts. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has comprehensive results across multiple API and workload tests, while the Intel Arc B390 only has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 entry. With no overlapping test entries in the head-to-head file, the comparison must rely on the average benchmark score and the percentile ranking against all GPUs.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 produces an average benchmark score of 16415 across its nine recorded tests. This places it at the 59th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rival by average score is the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at 16408, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT trails at 16361, which is 0.3 percent behind, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M sits at 16351, 0.4 percent behind. The only competitor ahead in this group is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 at 16504, putting the W7500 0.5 percent behind it.

The Intel Arc B390 delivers an average benchmark score of 1482, based solely on its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. This lands at the 9th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts: the GeForce GT 520MX at 1463 (1.3 percent behind), the GeForce 800M at 1460 (1.5 percent behind), the GeForce GT 625 OEM at 1446 (2.5 percent behind), and the GeForce GT 710 at 1443 (2.7 percent behind). The Arc B390 is ahead of all four of these comparison points.

The margin between the two products is substantial. The W7500's average score of 16415 is roughly 11 times higher than the Arc B390's 1482. That gap reflects a completely different performance class, as the W7500 ranks in the upper half of the database while the Arc B390 sits near the bottom. The data does not show any test where the Arc B390 comes close to the W7500 on a per-benchmark basis, because no shared benchmark exists between them.

The W7500's individual benchmark scores provide context for its average. In Geekbench OpenCL it records 58213, and in Geekbench Vulkan it reaches 68634. Passmark results include a graphics 3D score of 13368, a G2D score of 1174, and a GPU compute score of 5910. The DirectX legacy tests show 200 in DirectX 9, 125 in DirectX 11, 65 in DirectX 10, and 46 in DirectX 12. These figures indicate a strong general-purpose compute and graphics workload profile, with the Vulkan result being the standout.

The Arc B390 has no comparable per-test breakdown beyond its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482. That test is a modern DX12 workload, and the recorded value places it far below the W7500's DirectX 12 Passmark score of 46, though direct comparison is not possible because the tests differ. The percentile gap tells the story: 59 versus 9.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear performance hierarchy between these two products. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is a discrete workstation GPU with a 59th percentile ranking and an average score of 16415. The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor with a 9th percentile ranking and an average score of 1482. Any user selecting between them based on raw benchmark performance should choose the W7500, as its recorded scores are an order of magnitude higher.

The W7500 targets workloads that require sustained compute throughput, given its strong Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan results. The Arc B390, by contrast, shows results typical of an entry-level integrated solution, with its nearest rivals being older NVIDIA mobile and OEM parts. The delta percentages against those rivals are small, meaning the Arc B390 does not dramatically outperform even those low-end parts.

For workstation use, the W7500's benchmark profile supports tasks like GPU compute, rendering, and API-heavy applications. The Arc B390's single benchmark result does not demonstrate capability in those areas. The database shows no scenario where the Arc B390 wins a head-to-head comparison, as the wins counter for both products is zero due to the absence of shared tests.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 wins in every category where the database provides comparable data. Its average benchmark score of 16415 versus 1482 makes it the dominant performer overall. It holds the advantage in shading units (1792 versus 1536), texture mapping units (112 versus 48), render output units (64 versus 24), and ray tracing cores (28 versus 12). Its pixel rate of 108.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 190.4 GTexel/s are both higher than the Arc B390's 60.00 GPixel/s and 120.0 GTexel/s. Floating point throughput is also higher on the W7500, with 12.19 TFLOPS FP32 versus 7.680 TFLOPS.

The W7500 also wins on memory. It has dedicated 8 GB of GDDR6 with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc B390 relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. This makes the W7500 more suitable for memory-intensive workloads such as large compute tasks and high-resolution rendering. Its PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provides a dedicated connection, whereas the Arc B390's IGP bus is integrated into the processor.

The Intel Arc B390 wins on process node efficiency, using a 3 nm process from Intel compared to the W7500's 6 nm process from TSMC. It also has a higher boost clock at 2500 MHz versus the W7500's 1700 MHz, though its base clock is much lower at 300 MHz versus 1500 MHz. The Arc B390 has a lower TDP of 80 W versus 70 W? No, the Arc B390 has an 80 W TDP and the W7500 has a 70 W TDP, so the W7500 actually draws less power. The Arc B390 has no distinct advantage in power consumption.

The Arc B390's integrated nature means it requires no separate card slot and has no physical dimensions recorded, making it suitable for compact portable devices. Its display outputs are portable device dependent, which fits a mobile or embedded use case. However, based strictly on benchmark scores, the W7500 is the clear winner in computational performance. The Arc B390's only recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 1482, places it near the bottom of the database, while the W7500 sits comfortably in the upper half.

For users prioritizing compute throughput, workstation tasks, or any GPU-accelerated workload, the W7500 is the only viable choice between the two. For users who need an integrated GPU with no discrete card and can accept low-end performance, the Arc B390 exists as an option, but the data shows it delivers only a fraction of the W7500's capability.
