AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB vs Intel Arc A550M Comparison

AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB vs Intel Arc A550M

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark in this dataset is Geekbench Vulkan, and the result is not close. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 108,994, while the Intel Arc A550M scores 49,580. That is a 119.8% delta in favor of AMD, meaning the RX 6750 GRE delivers more than double the Vulkan performance of the Arc A550M. This is a decisive, category-defining margin; no amount of driver tuning or workload selection is going to close a gap of that size in API-level compute and graphics throughput.

Looking at broader average benchmark scores reinforces the separation. The RX 6750 GRE 12 GB posts an average benchmark score of 55,698, which places it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The Arc A550M averages 49,737, sitting just one percentile lower at 86. While the percentile gap is small, the raw score difference is roughly 12%. In practical terms, the RX 6750 GRE is positioned closer to desktop-class performance, while the Arc A550M is hovering near the upper-midrange of mobile parts.

The nearest rivals for each card tell a similar story. The RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is bracketed by the AMD Radeon 8060S (avg score 55,757, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (56,083, delta -0.7%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828, delta +1.6%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (54,247, delta +2.7%). It is essentially trading blows with an RTX 5080-class part in aggregate scoring, which is remarkable for a card with a 250 W TDP. On the other side, the Arc A550M is nearest to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (49,957, delta -0.4%), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (50,001, delta -0.5%), the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (50,951, delta -2.4%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (48,477, delta +2.6%). The Intel part is roughly on par with an RX 6800 XT in average score, which is a solid result for a 60 W mobile chip, but it is still well behind the RX 6750 GRE.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide here is generational and philosophical. AMD uses the Radeon RX 6000 series with the Navi 22 chip built on RDNA 2.0, specifically the Navi II generation. Intel counters with the DG2-512 chip based on Xe-HPG, from the Alchemist generation (Arc 5 Mobile). Both are fabricated by TSMC, but at different nodes: AMD uses 7 nm, while Intel uses the newer and denser 6 nm process. The transistor counts reflect the size difference: AMD packs 17,200 million transistors into a 335 mm² die, yielding a density of 51.3M per mm². Intel's chip is larger at 406 mm² and holds 21,700 million transistors, for a slightly higher density of 53.4M per mm². Intel is using more silicon and more transistors, but the power envelope is radically different.

Clock speeds show a stark contrast. The RX 6750 GRE runs a base clock of 2321 MHz, a game clock of 2439 MHz, and a boost clock of 2581 MHz. The Arc A550M has a base clock of just 900 MHz and a boost of 2050 MHz. AMD is running over 500 MHz higher at the base and over 500 MHz higher at boost. That clock advantage is a primary driver of the performance gap. Memory clocks also favor AMD: 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) versus 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) for Intel.

The cache and memory subsystem is another major divergence. AMD fits 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Intel offers only 8 GB on a 128-bit bus, for 224.0 GB/s. That is nearly half the memory bandwidth, and with 4 GB less capacity, the Arc A550M will struggle in texture-heavy or large-dataset workloads. The compute units also differ: AMD has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 40 RT cores. Intel has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and only 16 RT cores. The ray tracing hardware gap is substantial — 40 versus 16 cores — which will show up in any RT-enabled title.

Pixel and texture rates reflect the clock and core count differences. AMD achieves 165.2 GPixel/s and 413.0 GTexel/s. Intel manages 131.2 GPixel/s and 262.4 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 13.21 TFLOPS for AMD versus 8.397 TFLOPS for Intel; FP16 is 26.43 TFLOPS versus 16.79 TFLOPS, both at the same 2:1 ratio. The RX 6750 GRE is roughly 57% ahead in FP32 compute, which is consistent with its overall benchmark lead.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB wins in every measurable category in this dataset. It has more memory, more bandwidth, higher clocks, more shading units, more RT cores, and better raw throughput. In the Geekbench Vulkan test, it wins by 119.8%, and its average benchmark score is 11.99% higher than the Arc A550M's. For any workload that stresses the GPU — high-resolution gaming, content creation, 3D rendering, or compute — the RX 6750 GRE is the clear choice.

The Intel Arc A550M has exactly one win condition, and it is not performance-based: power consumption. Its TDP is 60 W versus 250 W for the AMD card. That is a 190 W difference, which makes the Arc A550M a legitimate option for thin-and-light laptops or systems where thermal and power budgets are extremely tight. It is also an integrated graphics package (IGP), meaning it is designed to be part of a portable device rather than a standalone card. If you need a GPU that sips power and fits in a mobile chassis, the Arc A550M is the only one of the two that makes sense.

There is no benchmark in the dataset where the Intel part wins on score. The wins column is 1 for AMD and 0 for Intel. But the use case split is real: AMD for performance, Intel for efficiency and portability.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is the faster GPU by every performance metric in this dataset. It doubles the Vulkan score of the Intel Arc A550M, has 50% more memory, 93% more memory bandwidth, and a 57% higher FP32 throughput. Its average benchmark score of 55,698 places it in the 87th percentile, and it trades blows with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 in aggregate scoring. If you need raw graphics performance, there is no contest.

The Intel Arc A550M is not without a purpose, but that purpose is narrow. At 60 W TDP, it uses 190 W less power than the AMD card. It is an integrated graphics solution, so it is meant for portable devices where a discrete card is not an option. Its 86th percentile ranking is respectable for a mobile part, and it matches the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT in average score. But it is end-of-life, has no release date recorded, and cannot compete with the RX 6750 GRE in any test.

For a desktop builder who wants maximum performance, the choice is the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, with a launch MSRP of 334 USD. For a laptop designer who needs a competent GPU in a 60 W envelope, the Intel Arc A550M is the only viable option — but it is a compromise, not a competitor. The verdict is simple: buy AMD for performance, choose Intel only if power and form factor are the absolute priorities.
