AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark results for the AMD Radeon PRO W7500, while the Intel Arc G3 has no standalone benchmark entries in the current dataset. This makes a direct test-by-test comparison impossible, but the existing scores for the AMD part can be positioned against the broader field through its nearest rivals.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 posts an average benchmark score of 16415 across all recorded tests. Its closest measured competitor in the database is the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at 16408, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD part edges ahead by a negligible margin, effectively a statistical tie. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT sits at 16361, which is 0.3 percent behind the W7500. The AMD Radeon Pro 5600M follows at 16351, trailing by 0.4 percent. On the other side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 reaches 16504, which is 0.5 percent ahead of the W7500.

In individual workloads, the W7500 shows a wide spread of results. The Passmark G3D test returns a score of 13368, which is the strongest single compute-oriented result in its benchmark suite. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 68634 is substantially higher than the OpenCL result of 58213, indicating that the architecture responds differently to the two API paths. The Passmark GPU Compute score of 5910 is comparatively modest against the G3D figure.

Legacy DirectX tests reveal a different pattern. The Passmark DirectX 9 score of 200 is the highest among the DirectX entries, while DirectX 11 returns 125, DirectX 10 returns 65, and DirectX 12 returns 46. The 2D workload score of 1174 is far below the 3D score, which is typical for a dedicated graphics card focused on 3D rendering.

The Intel Arc G3 has no recorded benchmarks, so its average score is 0 and it holds no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs, but without measured scores this ranking is based on specifications rather than direct testing.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is built on the Navi 33 chip using the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation, specifically the Navi III Series. The chip is manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC, containing 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm².

The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake chip with the Xe3-LPG architecture and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel. The transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, and no transistor density figure is recorded.

These are fundamentally different design approaches. The W7500 is a discrete GPU with its own dedicated memory and a substantial transistor budget. The Arc G3 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) that shares system memory. The process node difference is notable: 6 nm versus 3 nm. The foundry also differs, with TSMC producing the AMD chip and Intel producing its own.

The compute resources diverge significantly. The W7500 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc G3 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. The AMD part has more of every execution resource, but it also consumes more power and occupies a physical slot.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Neither has tensor cores listed.

Specification Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 operates at a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1700 MHz, with memory at 2000 MHz or 16 Gbps effective. The Intel Arc G3 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost of 2400 MHz. The boost clock advantage for Intel is substantial, but the base clock is far lower.

Memory is a major differentiator. The W7500 has 8 GB of GDDR6, a 128-bit bus, and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Arc G3 relies entirely on system shared memory, with no dedicated VRAM, no fixed bus width, and bandwidth described as system dependent.

Pixel rate for the W7500 is 108.8 GPixel/s, while the Arc G3 delivers 48.00 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 190.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 12.19 TFLOPS for the AMD card and 6.144 TFLOPS for the Intel part. FP16 performance is 24.37 TFLOPS (2:1) versus 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1).

The W7500 has a TDP of 70 W and a suggested PSU of 250 W. It is a single-slot card with no power connectors. The Arc G3 has a TDP of 25 W, is an IGP with no slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8 for the AMD card and IGP for the Intel part.

Display outputs differ: the W7500 provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Arc G3's outputs are listed as portable device dependent. The W7500 has physical dimensions of 216 mm length, 115 mm height, and 20 mm width. The Arc G3 has no recorded dimensions.

The release dates are far apart. The W7500 launched on 2023-08-02, and the Arc G3 is dated 2026-05-31. The W7500 has a predecessor, the Radeon Pro Vega, while the Arc G3 has none listed. Neither has a successor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 wins on raw computational throughput. Its FP32 performance of 12.19 TFLOPS is double the Arc G3's 6.144 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 190.4 GTexel/s is roughly twice the 96.00 GTexel/s of the Intel part. Pixel rate is also higher at 108.8 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s. The W7500 has more shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and ray tracing cores.

The W7500 also wins on memory capabilities. Dedicated 8 GB of GDDR6 with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth is a clear advantage over system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. For workloads that are sensitive to memory latency and bandwidth, this is a decisive factor.

The Arc G3 wins on power efficiency. Its 25 W TDP is less than half of the W7500's 70 W. It is an integrated part with no power connectors and no slot occupancy, making it suitable for portable devices. Its boost clock of 2400 MHz is higher than the W7500's 1700 MHz, which helps narrow the throughput gap in bursty workloads.

The Arc G3 also wins on process technology. The 3 nm Intel node is more advanced than the 6 nm TSMC process, which likely contributes to the lower power draw despite the higher boost clock.

For workstation use with display outputs, the W7500 is the clear choice. It offers 4x DisplayPort 2.1, a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and a single-slot form factor. The Arc G3's display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning its connectivity is dictated by the host system.

For the benchmark database, the W7500 has a measured average score of 16415 and sits at the 59th percentile. The Arc G3 has no measured scores and sits at the 50th percentile based on specifications. The W7500's nearest rivals all fall within a 0.5 percent band, indicating a tightly clustered competitive set at this performance level.

The legacy DirectX results for the W7500 show a particular strength in DirectX 9 workloads, scoring 200, which is higher than its DirectX 11, 10, and 12 results. The 2D score of 1174 is modest, suggesting the card is optimized for 3D compute rather than desktop composition.

The Arc G3's absence of benchmark data means its wins must be inferred from specifications. It wins on integration, power, and process node. The W7500 wins on every measured performance metric and every computational resource count. For any workload that requires sustained throughput, dedicated memory, or multiple display outputs, the W7500 is the stronger part. For ultra-low-power or embedded scenarios where system shared memory is acceptable, the Arc G3 presents a viable alternative.
