AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE as a discrete desktop GPU aimed at sustained high-throughput workloads, while the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is an integrated processor graphics solution designed for energy-constrained portable systems. The benchmark database shows the AMD part achieving an average benchmark score of 42,723, placing it in the 83rd percentile against all GPUs. The Intel part, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile position with an average benchmark score of zero, meaning no benchmark entries are recorded for it in the database. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE delivers 22.08 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 172.5 GPixel/s pixel throughput, and 345.0 GTexel/s texture throughput. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile delivers 1,382.4 GFLOPS of FP32 compute, 14.40 GPixel/s pixel throughput, and 43.20 GTexel/s texture throughput. The difference in raw throughput is substantial: the AMD part offers roughly sixteen times the FP32 compute of the Intel integrated solution based on the figures in the database. The AMD unit also uses 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivering 288.0 GB/s, while the Intel unit relies on system shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent.

The choice between these two rests on the platform itself. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a dual-slot, 170 W discrete card requiring a 450 W suggested power supply and a PCIe 4.0 x8 connection. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor embedded in the Meteor Lake chip, consuming 28 W and requiring no separate power connector. Any buyer selecting between them is effectively choosing between a desktop expansion card and a mobile integrated GPU that ships inside a processor package. There is no scenario in the data where the Intel part competes on absolute performance; its role is tied to portability and minimal power draw.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in every measured performance category recorded in the database. It has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 render output units, with no ray tracing core count listed. The AMD part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both parts support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD part draws from a 6 nm TSMC process with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. The Intel part uses a 10 nm Intel process, with no transistor or die size data recorded.

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile wins in power efficiency and physical integration. Its 28 W TDP is dramatically lower than the AMD card's 170 W TDP. It is an IGP, meaning it occupies no expansion slot, uses no separate power connector, and requires no suggested power supply rating. The AMD card measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height, occupies a dual-slot profile, and needs one 8-pin power connector. The Intel part has no recorded dimensions because it exists inside the processor package. For portable devices, the Intel part is the only viable option in the database; the AMD card cannot be installed in such a form factor.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation and succeeds Navi II with Navi IV listed as its successor. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process, containing 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. Its clock strategy includes a 1720 MHz base clock, a 2695 MHz boost clock, and a 2350 MHz game clock. Memory operates at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The FP32 and FP16 throughput are both 22.08 TFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio for these two precisions.

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile uses the Meteor Lake chip built on Xe-LPG architecture. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Meteor Lake) generation and lists HD Graphics-M as its predecessor, with no successor recorded. It is fabricated by Intel on a 10 nm process, with no transistor count, die size, or transistor density available in the database. Its base clock is 300 MHz and its boost clock is 1800 MHz, with no game clock recorded. Its FP32 throughput is 1,382.4 GFLOPS, while FP16 throughput is 2.765 TFLOPS, indicating a 2:1 ratio where FP16 is half the FP32 rate. The AMD part computes FP16 at the same rate as FP32, a notable architectural difference.

The memory subsystems differ fundamentally. The AMD card uses dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and fixed 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part uses system shared memory for both capacity and type, with bus width also listed as system shared and bandwidth described as system dependent. This means the Intel part's memory performance varies based on the host system's memory configuration, while the AMD card's memory performance is fixed and independent of the rest of the system.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile. The wins counters for both sides are zero. However, the AMD part has two recorded benchmark results. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2,336. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 83,109. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores at all, hence its average benchmark score of zero and the absence of any nearest rivals.

The AMD part's average benchmark score of 42,723 places it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, drawn from the database rankings, are all NVIDIA parts. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has an average score of 43,223, which is 1.2 percent higher than the AMD part. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262, also 1.2 percent higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43,268, 1.3 percent higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43,301, 1.3 percent higher. These deltas are small, indicating the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE sits in a tightly packed performance band near the top of the database distribution.

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has no average benchmark score and no nearest rivals recorded. Its 50th percentile ranking appears without supporting benchmark data, meaning the database has not accumulated any test results for this integrated GPU. This makes direct numerical comparison impossible. The only quantitative comparison available comes from architectural specifications: shading units (2,048 versus 384), texture mapping units (128 versus 24), render output units (64 versus 8), pixel rate (172.5 GPixel/s versus 14.40 GPixel/s), texture rate (345.0 GTexel/s versus 43.20 GTexel/s), and FP32 throughput (22.08 TFLOPS versus 1,382.4 GFLOPS). Each of these figures shows the AMD part at a significant multiple of the Intel part.

The AMD part's texture rate of 345.0 GTexel/s is exactly eight times the Intel part's 43.20 GTexel/s. The pixel rate of 172.5 GPixel/s is approximately twelve times the Intel part's 14.40 GPixel/s. The shading unit count is 5.33 times higher, the TMU count is 5.33 times higher, and the ROP count is eight times higher. These ratios reflect the fundamental class difference between a discrete 170 W desktop card and a 28 W integrated mobile GPU.
