AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

The Verdict

The data in this comparison is unambiguous. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is in a completely different performance class than the Intel Arc A310E. The RX 7650 GRE sits at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the Arc A310E sits at the 50th percentile. The RX 7650 GRE's average benchmark score of 42,723 dwarfs the Arc A310E's recorded average of 0, which reflects the absence of benchmark entries for the Intel part rather than a literal zero-performance result. The Intel Arc A310E is an end-of-life product with no recorded benchmark data, while the RX 7650 GRE is an active product with a substantial performance profile.

The RX 7650 GRE should be selected by anyone needing a current, active GPU with measurable performance data, particularly for gaming or compute workloads that benefit from its 8 GB memory capacity and high shading-unit count. The Arc A310E, with its 4 GB memory, 75 W power draw, and single-slot design, is positioned for low-profile or embedded applications where power efficiency and physical footprint matter more than raw throughput. The data indicates the RX 7650 GRE delivers roughly 7.2 times the FP32 throughput of the Arc A310E (22.08 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS) and nearly 2.3 times the memory bandwidth (288.0 GB/s versus 124.0 GB/s). For any workload where the database records performance, the RX 7650 GRE is the only defensible choice.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural families. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi III generation. The Intel Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist generation. Both are manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but the similarities end there.

The RX 7650 GRE packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The Arc A310E contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. The RX 7650 GRE has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Arc A310E has 768 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 render output units, and 6 ray tracing cores.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The RX 7650 GRE uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, running at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The Arc A310E uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus with 124.0 GB/s bandwidth, running at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective speed. Both use PCIe 4.0 x8 interfaces. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The FP32 and FP16 ratios differ. The RX 7650 GRE delivers 22.08 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS for FP32 but 6.144 TFLOPS for FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. This means the Intel part doubles its throughput on FP16 workloads, while the AMD part maintains identical throughput. The RX 7650 GRE also uses a dual-slot form factor with a 1x 8-pin power connector and a 450 W suggested PSU, while the Arc A310E is single-slot with no power connectors and a 250 W suggested PSU.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7650 GRE wins decisively across all recorded performance metrics. Its pixel rate of 172.5 GPixel/s versus the Arc A310E's 32.00 GPixel/s represents a 5.4x advantage. Its texture rate of 345.0 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s is a 5.4x advantage. Its FP32 throughput of 22.08 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS is a 7.2x advantage. Its memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s versus 124.0 GB/s is a 2.3x advantage.

The Arc A310E wins in specific hardware characteristics that favor constrained environments. It draws 75 W versus the RX 7650 GRE's 170 W, a 95 W difference. It requires no external power connectors, while the RX 7650 GRE needs a 1x 8-pin connector. It occupies a single slot versus dual-slot, and its dimensions are smaller: 168 mm length and 69 mm height versus 204 mm length and 115 mm height. Its 20 mm width is documented, while the RX 7650 GRE has no recorded width. The Arc A310E also provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, one more display output than the RX 7650 GRE's 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 combination.

The RX 7650 GRE also holds the advantage in production status. It is marked Active, while the Arc A310E is End-of-life. The RX 7650 GRE was released on 2025-02-06, while the Arc A310E was released on 2024-03-31. The AMD part's predecessor is Navi II and its successor is Navi IV. The Intel part's predecessor is Xe Graphics and its successor is Battlemage.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark comparison in the database contains no direct test entries, and the win counts for both parts are zero. Despite the absence of directly paired tests, the recorded individual benchmarks for the RX 7650 GRE establish its performance tier. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,336 places it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83,109 contributes to an average benchmark score of 42,723.

The RX 7650 GRE's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its standing. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has an average score of 43,223, which is 1.2% higher than the RX 7650 GRE. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB also scores 43,262, also 1.2% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43,268, 1.3% higher, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43,301, 1.3% higher.
