AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM vs Intel Arc Graphics 32EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM and the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU. The database contains a single benchmark entry for the Intel part, the 3dmark_3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 test, in which it scored 733. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, and its average benchmark score is listed as zero. Consequently, the win count for each product is zero in direct comparison.

The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU sits at the 3rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, a position that reflects its limited compute resources. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU with an identical average score of 733, a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU also matching at 733 with a 0 percent delta, the AMD Radeon HD 6470M at 723 (1.4 percent lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M at 751 (2.4 percent higher). These deltas indicate that the 32EU variant performs on par with both the smaller 24EU and the larger 64EU configurations in this specific test, which suggests the benchmark is constrained by factors other than execution unit count. The 2.4 percent deficit to the GT 415M places it slightly below that older discrete part, while the 1.4 percent advantage over the HD 6470M shows it edges out that legacy mobile GPU.

The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM, by contrast, has no comparable score to analyze. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs in the database, but without measured benchmark data, the percentile is not backed by a recorded test result. The absence of benchmark entries for the RX 7400 OEM means any performance comparison must rely on architectural and specification differences rather than direct measured outcomes.

Architecture Differences

The two products diverge fundamentally in their underlying architectures. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on the Navi 33 chip with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU uses the Xe-LPG architecture, based on the Arrow Lake-S chip, and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake) generation. Intel's part is fabricated on a 3 nm process, also at TSMC.

Transistor counts and die sizes differ considerably. The AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel chip packs 17,800 million transistors onto a 243 mm² die, resulting in a density of 73.3 million per square millimeter. The Intel chip thus carries roughly 34 percent more transistors and uses a die that is about 19 percent larger, while achieving a higher packing density due to the more advanced 3 nm process node.

The compute resources are starkly different. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM features 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU offers 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, with no dedicated ray tracing cores listed. The AMD part has seven times the shading units, seven times the TMUs, and eight times the ROPs of the Intel integrated solution. The RX 7400 OEM's pixel rate is 70.40 GPixel/s versus 15.60 GPixel/s for the Intel part, a factor of 4.5. Its texture rate is 123.2 GTexel/s versus 31.20 GTexel/s, a factor of approximately 3.9.

Clock behavior differs as well. The AMD card lists a base clock of 330 MHz and a boost clock of 1100 MHz. The Intel part lists a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1950 MHz. Despite the Intel part's much higher boost clock, its drastically lower execution unit count results in far lower aggregate throughput. The AMD card's FP32 performance is 7.885 TFLOPS, while the Intel part achieves 998.4 GFLOPS, meaning the AMD GPU delivers approximately 7.9 times the single-precision floating-point throughput. In FP16, the AMD card reaches 7.885 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, while the Intel part delivers 1.997 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, showing the AMD part maintains full-rate FP16 while the Intel part halves its rate.

Memory subsystems are entirely different in kind. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1350 MHz (10.8 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 172.8 GB/s. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU uses system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth, meaning its memory performance is tied to the host platform rather than a dedicated VRAM pool. The AMD card's memory clock is a fixed figure, while the Intel part's memory speed is variable.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM is positioned for discrete graphics workloads where dedicated memory and high throughput matter. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with 172.8 GB/s bandwidth provides a self-contained memory pool, and its 7.885 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 28 ray tracing cores support modern rendering features. The 123.2 GTexel/s texture rate and 70.40 GPixel/s pixel rate indicate strong fillrate capabilities for resolution-heavy scenarios. The 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database, while not backed by a measured benchmark, suggests it sits at the median of the GPU landscape, which implies mainstream desktop performance territory.

The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) designed for systems where a separate card is unnecessary. Its 998.4 GFLOPS FP32 throughput and 15.60 GPixel/s pixel rate place it in the low-power integrated segment. The 3rd percentile ranking confirms its position near the bottom of the database's GPU performance distribution. Its nearest rival data shows parity with the 24EU and 64EU variants in the Steel Nomad test, which indicates that this particular benchmark does not differentiate between execution unit counts, likely because it is not compute-bound at these low performance levels. The 733 score and the small deltas to the HD 6470M and GT 415M show it trades blows with entry-level discrete GPUs from over a decade ago.

The AMD part wins decisively in raw compute, memory bandwidth, and feature support for dedicated rendering tasks. The Intel part wins in integration simplicity, using system memory and requiring no power connectors, but its performance ceiling is far lower. The RX 7400 OEM's ray tracing cores give it a hardware advantage for ray-traced workloads, a feature the Intel part lacks entirely. The AMD card's 28 RT cores, while modest compared to higher-tier RDNA 3 parts, still provide dedicated hardware acceleration where the Intel IGP has none.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification field in the database. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series, uses the Navi 33 chip, and carries the codename Hotpink Bonefish. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU has no series designation, no codename, and uses the Arrow Lake-S chip. The AMD part is from the Navi III (RX 7000) generation; the Intel part is from the Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake) generation.

Power and physical specifications diverge sharply. The AMD card has a TDP of 55 W, is single-slot, uses a 1x 6-pin power connector, and suggests a 250 W PSU. The Intel part has a TDP of 65 W, is an IGP, has no power connectors, and lists no suggested PSU. The AMD card uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface; the Intel part uses a Ring Bus. Display outputs: the AMD card offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1; the Intel part's outputs are motherboard dependent. The AMD card measures 167 mm (6.6 inches) in length; the Intel part has no listed dimensions. The AMD part has no production status recorded; the Intel part is marked Active. Release dates differ: the AMD card was released on August 7, 2025, while the Intel part was released on October 23, 2024. The AMD card's predecessor is Navi II and successor is Navi IV; the Intel part's predecessor is HD Graphics-M with no successor listed. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded; the Intel part also has no launch MSRP.

The API support is identical: both list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. This means both parts expose the same modern graphics API feature set despite their architectural differences.
