AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is the clear performance leader in this pairing. Its recorded average benchmark score of 42723 places it in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Intel Arc A380E x2 sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, meaning no benchmark results are recorded for it. The AMD card delivers 22.08 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 288.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, whereas the Intel card offers 4.096 TFLOPS, 186.0 GB/s, and 6 GB of GDDR6. For any workload that depends on raw graphics throughput, the RX 7650 GRE is the only viable option based on the data.

The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no recorded benchmark scores, so its performance cannot be quantified from the database. Its production status is listed as end-of-life, while the AMD part remains active. The Intel card does have a single-slot form factor, a 130 W TDP, and eight mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, which makes it suitable for specific multi-display or space-constrained installations. The AMD card uses a dual-slot design, a 170 W TDP, and offers one HDMI 2.1a plus three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

The RX 7650 GRE should be selected by anyone who needs actual measured graphics performance, as the database shows it competing with GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, where it trails by only 1.2 percent in average score. The Arc A380E x2 should be considered only when the physical requirements of a single-slot card, lower power draw, or eight display outputs are mandatory, because no performance data exists to support any other use case.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in every measurable category. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2336, and its Geekbench OpenCL score is 83109. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no entries in either benchmark, so the database records zero wins for it. The RX 7650 GRE also leads in FP32 throughput by a factor of roughly 5.4, with 22.08 TFLOPS versus 4.096 TFLOPS. Texture rate is 345.0 GTexel/s versus 128.0 GTexel/s, and pixel rate is 172.5 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s.

The Intel card does win on power efficiency in a narrow sense: its 130 W TDP is lower than the AMD card's 170 W, and its suggested PSU is 300 W versus 450 W. The Intel card also uses a single-slot bracket, which the AMD card cannot match with its dual-slot design. For multi-display setups, the Arc A380E x2 provides eight mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, whereas the RX 7650 GRE has four outputs total.

In terms of memory capacity, the AMD card has 8 GB, which is 2 GB more than the Intel card's 6 GB. The AMD memory bus is 128 bit versus 96 bit, and the bandwidth advantage is substantial: 288.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s. The AMD card also has twice the shading units (2048 versus 1024), twice the TMUs (128 versus 64), twice the ROPs (64 versus 32), and four times the RT cores (32 versus 8). There is no benchmark category where the Intel card shows a recorded win.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi III generation. The Intel Arc A380E x2 uses the DG2-128 chip with Xe-HPG architecture and belongs to the Alchemist generation. Both are fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts diverge sharply: the AMD chip has 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel chip has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter.

Clock behavior differs. The AMD card has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The Intel card runs at a flat 2000 MHz base and boost. Memory clocks also differ: the AMD memory operates at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the Intel memory runs at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective. The FP16 compute ratio distinguishes the architectures: the AMD card delivers FP16 at a 1:1 ratio to FP32, both at 22.08 TFLOPS, whereas the Intel card provides FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, reaching 8.192 TFLOPS compared to its 4.096 TFLOPS FP32.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, and the Intel card also uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The AMD card has no tensor cores listed; the Intel card also has none listed. The AMD predecessor is listed as Navi II, with successor Navi IV. The Intel predecessor is Xe Graphics, with successor Battlemage. The AMD card was released on 2025-02-06, while the Intel card was released on 2024-03-31. The AMD card has a launch MSRP of 279 USD, while no launch MSRP is recorded for the Intel card.

A: No, the Intel Arc A380E x2 is listed as end-of-life. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has a production status of active.

Q: Does the Intel card have any recorded benchmark scores?

A: No. The database contains no benchmark entries for the Intel Arc A380E x2. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals. The AMD card has two recorded benchmark scores: 2336 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and 83109 in Geekbench OpenCL.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty, so no direct comparison scores exist between these two specific cards. However, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has its own recorded results. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2336. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 83109. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no such entries.

The AMD card's average benchmark score of 42723 places it at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are all NVIDIA parts: the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER with an average score of 43223, showing a delta of -1.2 percent for the AMD card; the Quadro M6000 24 GB with 43262, also -1.2 percent; the GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile with 43268, -1.3 percent; and the Quadro M6000 with 43301, -1.3 percent. This means the RX 7650 GRE sits within 1.3 percent of these four GPUs in average score, which indicates its measured performance is closely matched to that tier.

The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no nearest rivals and no average benchmark score, so no comparative statements can be made from the database. The only numerical performance data for the Intel card comes from its theoretical specifications: 4.096 TFLOPS FP32, 128.0 GTexel/s texture rate, and 64.00 GPixel/s pixel rate. The AMD card's equivalent figures are 22.08 TFLOPS, 345.0 GTexel/s, and 172.5 GPixel/s. These differences mean the AMD card processes geometry and pixels at rates roughly 2.7 times and 2.7 times higher, respectively, based on the recorded numbers.

The largest measurable win for the AMD card is in FP32 compute, where its 22.08 TFLOPS is 5.39 times the Intel card's 4.096 TFLOPS. The next largest is in texture rate, where 345.0 GTexel/s is 2.70 times 128.0 GTexel/s. Pixel rate follows at 172.5 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s, a 2.70 times advantage. Memory bandwidth shows a 1.55 times lead for AMD, at 288.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s. Shading units, TMUs, and ROPs all double the Intel counts: 2048 versus 1024, 128 versus 64, and 64 versus 32, respectively. RT cores are four times higher on the AMD card, 32 versus 8.

The Intel card does have a higher base clock: 2000 MHz versus 1720 MHz. But the AMD boost clock of 2695 MHz exceeds the Intel flat 2000 MHz. The AMD game clock is 2350 MHz. Memory clock on the AMD card is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, versus 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective on the Intel card. None of these clock advantages for Intel translate into a recorded benchmark win because no Intel benchmarks exist.
