Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, using the Navi 32 chip with the codename Wheat Nas. This places it in the Radeon Pro Navi generation, specifically the Navi III Series. The Intel Arc Pro B65 uses the Xe2-HPG architecture, built on the BMG-G21 chip, and belongs to the Battlemage Pro Series generation.

Both GPUs are manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the die characteristics differ considerably. The AMD chip contains 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 81.2 million per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 72.1 million per mm². The AMD chip has a higher absolute transistor count and a higher packing density.

The compute unit configurations also diverge. The AMD card has 3072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units. The Intel card has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. In ray tracing hardware, the AMD card has 48 RT cores compared to the Intel card's 20, a 2.4x difference in dedicated ray tracing resources.

Memory architectures share a 256-bit bus width and GDDR6 memory type, but the effective speeds differ. The AMD card runs memory at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the Intel card runs memory at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed. The resulting bandwidth figures are 576.0 GB/s for AMD and 608.0 GB/s for Intel.

The power requirements show a modest difference. The AMD card has a TDP of 190 W with a suggested PSU of 450 W, while the Intel card has a TDP of 200 W with a suggested PSU of 550 W. Both are dual-slot cards that use a single 8-pin power connector.

Interface support shows one notable divergence. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and both provide four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Physical dimensions are only available for the AMD card, which measures 241 mm in length (9.5 inches) and 111 mm in height (4.4 inches). The Intel card's dimensions are not recorded in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 and the Intel Arc Pro B65. The wins counter for both cards in direct comparisons stands at zero, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty.

However, the AMD card has two individual benchmark scores recorded. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 108,245, and in Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 129,706. The average of these two scores is 118,976, which places the card at the 95th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc Pro B65 has no recorded benchmark scores, and its average benchmark score is listed as zero.

The AMD card's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance level. The NVIDIA GB10 has an average score of 117,393, which is 1.3 percent lower than the AMD card. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation scores 117,088, 1.6 percent lower. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114,395, 4 percent lower, and the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile scores 113,944, 4.4 percent lower. These deltas indicate the AMD card sits slightly above all four of these competing products in average benchmark score.

The lack of recorded benchmarks for the Intel card makes direct numerical comparison impossible. The database shows the Intel card at the 50th percentile, which is a large gap from the AMD card's 95th percentile. The architectural data provides some explanatory context: the AMD card has 3072 shading units versus 2560, 48 RT cores versus 20, and an FP32 throughput of 31.95 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS. These figures suggest the AMD card is designed for substantially higher compute throughput.

The Intel card does hold advantages in memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 32 GB memory capacity is double the AMD card's 16 GB, and its 608.0 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the AMD card's 576.0 GB/s. The Intel card also uses a newer PCIe interface, PCIe 5.0 x16, compared to the AMD card's PCIe 4.0 x16.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 sits at the 95th percentile with an average benchmark score of 118,976, while the Intel Arc Pro B65 sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded scores. The AMD card's FP32 throughput of 31.95 TFLOPS is more than 2.5 times the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS, and its shading unit count of 3072 exceeds the Intel card's 2560 by 20 percent.

The AMD card also has a significant advantage in ray tracing hardware, with 48 RT cores versus the Intel card's 20. Its transistor count of 28,100 million is higher than the Intel card's 19,600 million, and its boost clock of 2600 MHz exceeds the Intel card's fixed 2400 MHz clock.

The Intel Arc Pro B65 offers a different set of strengths. Its 32 GB memory capacity is double the AMD card's 16 GB, which matters for workloads that require large memory footprints. Its memory bandwidth of 608.0 GB/s is 5.6 percent higher than the AMD card's 576.0 GB/s. The Intel card also uses the newer PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which provides higher potential data transfer rates to the host system.

The release timeline also differs. The AMD card launched on November 12, 2023, while the Intel card has a release date of March 31, 2026, making it a newer product. The Intel card's production status is listed as active, while the AMD card's production status is not recorded.

For compute-intensive tasks such as rendering, simulation, or machine learning inference that rely on FP32 throughput, the data points strongly toward the AMD Radeon PRO W7700. Its higher shading unit count, higher boost clock, and more than double the FP32 TFLOPS indicate a much higher ceiling for raw compute performance. The benchmark scores confirm this, with the AMD card ranking in the 95th percentile.

For workloads that prioritize memory capacity, such as large dataset processing or multi-application workflows, the Intel Arc Pro B65 has a clear advantage with 32 GB of memory. Its higher bandwidth and newer PCIe interface also support data-heavy operations. The absence of recorded benchmarks for the Intel card means its real-world performance cannot be confirmed from the database, but its architectural specifications indicate a capable card with a large memory pool.

The AMD card's nearest rival scores show it is competitive with several NVIDIA professional offerings. It outperforms the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation by 1.6 percent, the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB by 4 percent, and the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile by 4.4 percent in average benchmark score. This places it in a strong position among professional workstation GPUs.
