Architecture Differences

The two GPUs differ fundamentally in their design approach. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is a discrete graphics card using the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename Wheat Nas. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation, specifically the Navi III Series. The Intel Arc Pro B390 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture and belongs to the Arc Graphics-WM generation.

Manufacturing processes differ significantly. AMD uses a 5 nm process from TSMC with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². Intel uses a 3 nm process from its own foundry, though the database does not record transistor count or die size for this part.

The compute resources are heavily skewed toward the AMD part. The Radeon PRO W7700 has 3,072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 48 ray tracing cores. The Arc Pro B390 has 1,536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 24 render output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. Neither part has tensor cores listed in the database.

Clock speeds show different strategies. The AMD card has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The Intel part has a much lower base clock of 300 MHz but a boost clock of 2500 MHz, indicating a design that relies heavily on boosting behavior.

Memory architecture is a major differentiator. AMD uses 16 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 256-bit bus and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth, with memory clocks at 2250 MHz and 18 Gbps effective. Intel uses system shared memory, meaning there is no dedicated VRAM and bandwidth is system dependent.

The AMD card is a dual-slot discrete card measuring 241 mm in length and 111 mm in height, with a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface. The Intel part is an IGP with no dimensions recorded, no power connectors, and a bus interface listed simply as IGP. Display outputs on the AMD card are 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Intel part lists portable device dependent outputs.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 in the database. The AMD card has a predecessor listed as Radeon Pro Vega, while the Intel part lists HD Graphics-WM as its predecessor.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 and the Intel Arc Pro B390. However, the recorded data for the AMD card provides a clear reference point. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 108,245 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 129,706 yield an average of 118,976. The Intel part has no scores recorded, which places it at the 50th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The percentile rankings illustrate the gap. The AMD card sits at the 95th percentile of all GPUs, meaning it outperforms 95% of recorded parts. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile, the median position. The average benchmark score for the AMD card is 118,976, while the Intel part records 0 due to missing data.

Comparing the AMD card to its nearest rivals provides context for its performance tier. The NVIDIA GB10 averages 117,393, which is 1.3% behind the AMD card. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation averages 117,088, 1.6% behind. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB averages 114,395, 4% behind. The NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile averages 113,944, 4.4% behind. These deltas show the AMD card leading its closest competitors by small margins.

The raw compute rates support the benchmark positioning. The AMD card delivers 31.95 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 63.90 TFLOPS of FP16 performance. The Intel part delivers 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 and 15.36 TFLOPS of FP16. The AMD card's pixel rate is 249.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 499.2 GTexel/s. The Intel part has a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s.

These figures indicate the AMD card operates at a substantially higher throughput level. The FP32 rate is roughly four times higher, the pixel rate is roughly four times higher, and the texture rate is roughly four times higher. The shading unit count of 3,072 versus 1,536 is exactly double, but the clock behavior and memory bandwidth differences contribute to the larger performance gap.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 sits at the 95th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 118,976, while the Intel Arc Pro B390 sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded scores. The AMD card leads its nearest rivals by margins from 1.3% to 4.4%, placing it in a competitive tier among professional GPUs.

Compute capability is heavily weighted toward the AMD part. The FP32 throughput of 31.95 TFLOPS is more than four times the Intel part's 7.680 TFLOPS. The pixel rate of 249.6 GPixel/s is more than four times the Intel part's 60.00 GPixel/s. The texture rate of 499.2 GTexel/s is more than four times the Intel part's 120.0 GTexel/s. The shading unit count of 3,072 is double the Intel part's 1,536, and the ray tracing core count of 48 is four times the Intel part's 12.

Memory configuration reinforces the gap. The AMD card has 16 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. For workloads that depend on memory bandwidth, the AMD card has a substantial advantage.

The power profiles differ meaningfully. The AMD card draws 190 W and requires a 1x 8-pin connector with a suggested 450 W PSU. The Intel part draws 80 W and uses no power connectors, being an integrated processor. This makes the Intel part suitable for systems without discrete GPU power delivery.

The physical form factors are entirely different. The AMD card is a dual-slot discrete card with PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel part is an IGP with no dimensions and no bus interface beyond IGP. The AMD card has 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the Intel part is portable device dependent.

The release dates differ by more than two years, with AMD launching in 2023 and Intel in 2026. The AMD card has a launch MSRP of 999 USD, while the Intel part has no recorded MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 wins in scenarios requiring high compute throughput. Its FP32 rate of 31.95 TFLOPS and FP16 rate of 63.90 TFLOPS position it for demanding compute workloads. The texture rate of 499.2 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 249.6 GPixel/s support graphics-intensive tasks. The 16 GB GDDR6 memory with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth handles large datasets and high-resolution textures. The 48 ray tracing cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced rendering. The 95th percentile ranking confirms its placement among high-performing GPUs.

The Intel Arc Pro B390 wins in power-constrained and space-constrained scenarios. Its 80 W TDP is less than half the AMD card's 190 W. It requires no power connectors and has no suggested PSU, making it easier to integrate into systems without discrete GPU power. As an IGP, it takes no expansion slot space and has no dimensions, fitting into portable devices. The 3 nm process from Intel represents a more advanced manufacturing node than the 5 nm process used by AMD.

The Intel part also wins on production status, being listed as active, while the AMD card has no production status recorded. The Intel part's release date of 2026 is later than the AMD card's 2023 release. The 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all GPUs, which is a reasonable position for an integrated part.

For users with access to discrete GPU power delivery and expansion slots, the AMD card provides substantially higher compute rates, dedicated memory bandwidth, and a higher performance percentile. For systems without those capabilities, the Intel part offers integrated graphics with lower power draw and no additional hardware requirements. The database does not record any head-to-head benchmark entries, so direct performance comparisons between the two parts rely on the AMD card's recorded scores and the Intel part's absence of scores.
