AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The data places the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE in a completely different performance class than the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile. The AMD part sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Intel integrated solution sits at the 50th percentile. The Radeon's average benchmark score of 42,723 dwarfs the Intel part's recorded average of 0, as the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile has no benchmark entries in the database.

The RX 7650 GRE is an active, discrete, dual-slot add-in board with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory and a 170 W TDP. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with system-shared memory and a 65 W TDP, designed for portable devices. These are not competing products in the conventional sense; the Radeon is a standalone GPU for desktop builds, while the Intel part is embedded into a mobile processor.

For anyone selecting between these two, the decision is dictated by platform. The RX 7650 GRE requires a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot, a 450 W suggested PSU, and a single 8-pin power connector. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile cannot be purchased or installed separately; it is part of a Meteor Lake mobile processor and uses a Ring Bus interface. The Radeon delivers 22.08 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 288.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part delivers 1.792 TFLOPS FP32, system-dependent bandwidth, and no listed ray tracing cores.

Architecture Differences

The RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The chip is fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process and contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile uses the Meteor Lake chip built on Xe-LPG architecture, belonging to the Arc Graphics-M (Meteor Lake) generation. Intel fabricates this part on a 10 nm process, and the database lists no transistor count, die size, or density for it.

The Radeon features 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part features 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, with no ray tracing core count listed. The AMD GPU's compute throughput is 22.08 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio). The Intel GPU delivers 1.792 TFLOPS FP32 and 3.584 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio), indicating the Intel architecture splits FP16 work across half the rate of FP32, while AMD executes both at the same rate.

Clock behavior differs substantially. The Radeon has a 1720 MHz base, a 2695 MHz boost, and a 2350 MHz game clock. The Intel part has a 300 MHz base and a 1750 MHz boost, with no game clock listed. The Radeon's memory runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) across a 128-bit bus. The Intel part uses system-shared memory with a system-shared bus width and system-dependent bandwidth.

API support also separates the two. The Radeon supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the RX 7650 GRE and the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile. The Intel part has no benchmark scores at all in the database, so no direct numerical comparison can be made from shared tests.

The RX 7650 GRE has two recorded benchmark results. In 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), it scores 2,336. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 83,109. Its average benchmark score across the database is 42,723. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile has zero recorded benchmark results and an average benchmark score of 0.

The Radeon's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its positioning. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has an average score of 43,223, which is 1.2% higher than the Radeon's 42,723. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262, also 1.2% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43,268, 1.3% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43,301, 1.3% higher.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins on every measurable performance metric in the database. It delivers 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 versus 1.792 TFLOPS, 288.0 GB/s dedicated memory bandwidth versus system-dependent shared memory, and 32 ray tracing cores versus none listed. Its 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs places it far above the Intel part's 50th percentile.

The Radeon wins in standalone graphics workloads. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2,336 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 83,109 are the only recorded benchmark data points between the two products. The Intel part has no recorded scores to contest these results.

The Radeon wins in display connectivity for desktop use. It provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The Intel part's outputs are portable device dependent, meaning they vary by laptop design.

The Radeon wins in API feature level with DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) versus the Intel part's DirectX 12 (12_1). This indicates support for a higher tier of DirectX 12 features.

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile wins only in power efficiency and integration. Its 65 W TDP is 105 W lower than the Radeon's 170 W TDP, though the database does not record the actual power draw of either part. It requires no power connectors, no suggested PSU, and no slot space, as it is an IGP. The Intel part also has an earlier release date of 2023-12-13 compared to the Radeon's 2025-02-06.

The Intel part wins in memory flexibility in one sense: it uses system-shared memory, meaning it draws from the host system's RAM rather than requiring dedicated VRAM. The database lists this as system-dependent bandwidth, which means performance scales with the host memory configuration.

For use cases, the data supports a clear split. The RX 7650 GRE is suited for desktop systems with a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot, a 450 W PSU, and a need for discrete graphics performance in the 83rd percentile range. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile is suited for portable devices where a 65 W integrated solution with no separate power delivery is required. The Radeon's 204 mm length and dual-slot footprint require case space, while the Intel part has no physical dimensions listed because it is embedded in a processor.

The production status of both parts is Active, but the Radeon has a successor (Navi IV) while the Intel part has none listed. The Radeon's predecessor is Navi II; the Intel part's predecessor is HD Graphics-M.
