AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Graphics 24EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single direct head-to-head comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, using the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The results are decisively lopsided. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 2336 points, while the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU scores 733 points. This translates to a delta of 218.7%, meaning the AMD part is more than three times faster in this specific workload. The winner is unequivocally the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE.

Beyond the head-to-head result, the aggregate data in the database reinforces this gap. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has an average benchmark score of 42723 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs tracked. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of only 733, placing it in the 3rd percentile. The difference in average scores is stark: 42723 versus 733. The AMD part also has a second recorded benchmark result, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109, which further bolsters its standing.

Looking at the nearest rivals for each product provides additional context. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE sits just below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, which has an average score of 43223, a delta of -1.2%. It also trails the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, -1.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, -1.3%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, -1.3%). These are all extremely close margins, indicating that the RX 7650 GRE is positioned within a tight competitive cluster at the top of its performance band.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, on the other hand, is grouped with much older and weaker hardware. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, both with identical average scores of 733 and a delta of 0%. It is also near the AMD Radeon HD 6470M, which has an average score of 723, putting the Intel part 1.4% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M scores 751, which is 2.4% higher than the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. This positioning confirms that the 24EU configuration is an entry-level integrated solution, not a discrete-class performer.

Where Each One Wins

The data shows a single benchmark win for the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and zero wins for the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. Every measurable metric in the database favors the AMD discrete GPU. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2336 for the AMD part versus 733 for the Intel part is the only head-to-head result, and it represents a complete sweep for the AMD product.

For the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, the strengths are clear. It delivers a 218.7% advantage in the one recorded 3DMark test. Its average benchmark score of 42723 places it in the 83rd percentile, which indicates it performs well above the median GPU in the database. The additional Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 shows strong compute performance, which is relevant for applications that leverage OpenCL for general-purpose workloads.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has no recorded wins in any benchmark. Its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733 places it in the 3rd percentile, meaning it sits near the very bottom of the performance distribution. Its nearest rivals are all older integrated or entry-level mobile GPUs, such as the AMD Radeon HD 6470M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M. The 24EU configuration is clearly designed for basic graphics output rather than demanding 3D rendering or gaming.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is the only option for any workload involving 3D acceleration, gaming, or compute tasks. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is suitable only for the most basic display output and lightweight 2D applications, and even then, its low pixel rate and texture rate limit its usefulness.

Architecture Differences

The two products are built on fundamentally different architectures and process nodes. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip, based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip, based on the Xe-LPG architecture, and belongs to the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation.

The manufacturing processes differ significantly. The AMD part is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Intel part is built on a 3 nm process, also at TSMC, with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The Intel chip has more transistors and a higher density, but this is because it is an integrated processor die that includes CPU cores, not just graphics hardware.

The memory configurations are completely different. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2250 MHz, with 18 Gbps effective data rate. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses system shared memory, with the type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. This means the Intel GPU relies on the host system's memory, which introduces latency and bandwidth limitations compared to dedicated VRAM.

The compute resources show a massive disparity. The AMD part has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. It also has 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has only 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 6 render output units, with no dedicated ray tracing cores listed. The pixel rate for the AMD part is 172.5 GPixel/s, versus 12.00 GPixel/s for the Intel part. The texture rate is 345.0 GTexel/s versus 24.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 compute throughput is 22.08 TFLOPS for the AMD part, versus 768.0 GFLOPS for the Intel part. The FP16 throughput is 22.08 TFLOPS for AMD with a 1:1 ratio, versus 1.536 TFLOPS for Intel with a 2:1 ratio.

Clock speeds also differ. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The AMD part also has a discrete power profile with a TDP of 170 W and a suggested PSU of 450 W, while the Intel part is an integrated graphics processor with a TDP of 65 W.

The feature sets are similar in terms of API support. Both products support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The display outputs differ: the AMD part has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Intel part is motherboard dependent. The bus interface for the AMD part is PCIe 4.0 x8, while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE in almost every scenario. The head-to-head benchmark shows a 218.7% advantage for the AMD part. The average benchmark score of 42723 versus 733 places the AMD part in the 83rd percentile and the Intel part in the 3rd percentile. The AMD part has dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part relies on system shared memory. The compute resources are more than tenfold higher on the AMD side, with 2048 shading units versus 192, and 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 versus 768.0 GFLOPS.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is a low-power integrated solution with a 65 W TDP, designed for basic graphics output. Its single benchmark score of 733 places it near the bottom of the database, alongside legacy mobile GPUs like the AMD Radeon HD 6470M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M. It has no ray tracing cores, a pixel rate of 12.00 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 24.00 GTexel/s. These figures are orders of magnitude below the AMD part.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a dual-slot discrete card that requires a 170 W TDP and a 450 W suggested PSU. It uses a 1x 8-pin power connector and measures 204 mm in length. It was released on 2025-02-06 with a launch MSRP of 279 USD. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU was released on 2024-10-23 and has no recorded launch MSRP.

For users who need 3D rendering, gaming, or compute acceleration, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is the only viable option based on the recorded data. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is for systems where discrete graphics is not an option, such as compact or low-power builds that only require basic display output. The performance gap is so large that no workload in the database shows the Intel part winning any benchmark.
