AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs Intel Arc Pro B65 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 and the Intel Arc Pro B65. The Intel Arc Pro B65 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, with an average benchmark score of 0 and no entries in the nearest rivals list. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500, by contrast, has a full suite of recorded measurements across multiple test suites.

Looking at the AMD Radeon PRO W7500's absolute scores, the recorded data shows a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58213 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 68634. In the Passmark suite, the card scores 65 in DirectX 10, 125 in DirectX 11, 46 in DirectX 12, and 200 in DirectX 9. The Passmark G2D score is 1174, while the G3D score reaches 13368. Compute performance in Passmark sits at 5910.

The AMD card's average benchmark score is 16415, placing it at the 59th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals show how tightly grouped this performance tier is: the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16408 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16361 with a delta of 0.3%, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M scores 16351 with a delta of 0.4%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 sits slightly higher at 16504 with a negative delta of -0.5%. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the W7500 lands in an extremely competitive performance band.

Without any benchmark data for the Intel Arc Pro B65, no direct numerical comparison between the two cards is possible from the recorded measurements. The data gap means that any performance relationship between these two workstation GPUs must be inferred from their architectural specifications rather than measured results.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from fundamentally different architectural lineages. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename "Hotpink Bonefish." It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The Intel Arc Pro B65 uses the BMG-G21 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture and belongs to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation.

Manufacturing processes differ notably. AMD fabricates the W7500 on a 6 nm process at TSMC, while Intel fabricates the B65 on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The transistor counts reflect this difference: the AMD chip packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a higher density of 72.1M per mm².

Ray tracing hardware exists on both cards but in different configurations. The AMD card has 28 RT cores, while the Intel card has 20. Neither card includes dedicated tensor cores; both list null for that field.

The interface and power delivery architectures diverge significantly. AMD uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, while Intel uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The AMD card draws no external power connectors and has a 70 W TDP with a 250 W suggested PSU. The Intel card requires a single 8-pin power connector, has a 200 W TDP, and needs a 550 W suggested PSU. Physical dimensions also differ: the AMD card is a single-slot design measuring 216 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The Intel card is a dual-slot design, though its dimensions are not recorded in the database.

Both cards support the same API feature set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both also offer 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The release dates are far apart, with the AMD card launching on 2023-08-02 and the Intel card on 2026-03-31.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data supports clear wins for the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 in terms of measured performance, since it is the only one of the two with any benchmark results. Its average benchmark score of 16415 and 59th percentile ranking provide concrete reference points. The nearest rival data shows the card performing within 0.5% of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and within 0.4% of the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M, indicating strong competitiveness in its tier.

For the Intel Arc Pro B65, the absence of benchmark data means no measured wins can be identified. The architectural specifications, however, suggest areas where it would likely hold advantages. The memory subsystem is substantially larger: 32 GB versus 8 GB, with a 256 bit bus versus 128 bit, and 608.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 256.0 GB/s. The compute resources are also higher on paper: 2560 shading units versus 1792, 160 TMUs versus 112, and 80 ROPs versus 64. Pixel rate reaches 192.0 GPixel/s versus 108.8 GPixel/s, and texture rate reaches 384.0 GTexel/s versus 190.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is nearly identical at 12.29 TFLOPS versus 12.19 TFLOPS, as is FP16 at 24.58 TFLOPS versus 24.37 TFLOPS.

The AMD card wins on efficiency metrics. Its 70 W TDP is dramatically lower than the Intel card's 200 W, and it requires no external power connectors. The single-slot design also makes it easier to fit into dense workstation configurations.

Q: Which card has more ray tracing cores?

A: The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has 28 RT cores, while the Intel Arc Pro B65 has 20 RT cores.

Q: Is there benchmark data for the Intel Arc Pro B65?

A: No, the database contains no benchmark entries for the Intel Arc Pro B65. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rival entries. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has a complete set of Geekbench and Passmark scores with an average of 16415.

The Verdict

The data presents an unusual situation. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has a complete measured performance profile, while the Intel Arc Pro B65 has no recorded benchmarks at all. For anyone making a purchasing decision based on verified measurements, the W7500 is the only card with demonstrated results.

The AMD card's 16415 average benchmark score places it at the 59th percentile of all GPUs, with nearest rivals within a 0.5% delta. This is a proven performer in its tier. Its 70 W TDP with no power connectors and single-slot design make it an exceptionally easy card to integrate into existing systems.

The Intel Arc Pro B65 offers specifications that suggest advantages in memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and shading unit count. The 32 GB memory pool is four times larger than the AMD card's 8 GB, and the 608.0 GB/s bandwidth is more than double. The higher clock speeds of 2400 MHz base and boost also stand out. These specifications indicate a card designed for large datasets and memory-intensive workloads.

However, specifications do not translate directly into measured performance. The Intel card's 200 W TDP, dual-slot footprint, and 550 W suggested PSU requirement represent substantially higher system integration costs. Its 20 RT cores are fewer than the AMD card's 28, which may matter for ray tracing workloads.

The release timeline favors the Intel card in terms of technology recency, with a 2026-03-31 launch versus 2023-08-02 for the AMD card. But recency is not a performance metric.

For users who need confirmed, measured performance data, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is the only card with a record in the database. For users whose workloads demand large memory capacity and who can accommodate the higher power and space requirements, the Intel Arc Pro B65 presents a specification-driven case, but its actual performance remains unverified in the recorded data.
