AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Pro B390 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a stark contrast between these two graphics solutions. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2336, while the Intel Arc Pro B390 has no benchmark entries in the database for any test. In Geekbench OpenCL, the AMD part scores 83109, whereas the Intel part again has no recorded score. This means the AMD card holds a decisive advantage in every measurable category, though the comparison is limited by the absence of any benchmark data for the Intel product.

Looking at the AMD card against its nearest rivals, the average benchmark score of 42723 places it just 1.2% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (43223) and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262). The gap narrows further against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268) and the Quadro M6000 (43301), both showing a 1.3% delta. These margins are small enough to consider the RX 7650 GRE statistically competitive with those four GPUs in aggregate performance, even though it trails each one slightly.

The Intel Arc Pro B390, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 0. The AMD part reaches the 83rd percentile. That percentile gap of 33 points reflects a fundamental difference in positioning: the AMD card is a discrete add-in board aimed at mainstream desktop gaming and workstation use, while the Intel part is an integrated graphics processor embedded in a mobile platform.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in every benchmark category where data exists. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2336 indicates strong DirectX 12 gaming performance, particularly for a card with an 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 suggests solid compute throughput for general-purpose workloads, which aligns with its 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 rating. These results position the card well for 1080p and 1440p gaming, plus content creation tasks that leverage OpenCL acceleration.

The Intel Arc Pro B390 has no recorded wins because no benchmark scores are available. The database shows zero entries for the part, so any claim about its performance would be speculative. What the data does indicate is that the Intel part targets a completely different use case: integrated graphics with an 80 W TDP, no dedicated power connectors, and system-shared memory. This configuration suits thin-and-light laptops or portable devices where power efficiency and physical footprint take priority over raw frame rates. The AMD card, with its 170 W TDP and dual-slot cooler, cannot operate in such constrained environments.

For users who need discrete graphics performance, the AMD part is the only viable option in this comparison. For users who need an integrated solution that draws power from the system and occupies no expansion slot, the Intel part is the only viable option. The use cases do not overlap, so the "winner" depends entirely on the form factor and power envelope required.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from completely different architectural lineages. AMD uses RDNA 3.0 with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. Intel uses Xe3-LPG with the Panther Lake chip, built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The process node difference is substantial: 6 nm versus 3 nm, which gives Intel a density advantage in theory, though the database records Intel's transistor count and die size as unknown, so no direct comparison is possible.

The AMD chip packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Intel chip's transistor count and die size are not recorded, so its density cannot be calculated. The AMD architecture uses a 128-bit memory bus with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel architecture uses system-shared memory, meaning the bandwidth is system dependent and not fixed.

Both architectures support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature sets are identical on paper. The AMD part has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. The AMD part has a 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, delivering 22.08 TFLOPS for both precisions. The Intel part has a 2:1 ratio, delivering 15.36 TFLOPS FP16 versus 7.680 TFLOPS FP32.

Specification Differences

The specification sheets reveal several key differences beyond the obvious performance gap. The AMD card uses a 170 W TDP with a single 8-pin power connector and requires a 450 W suggested power supply. The Intel part uses an 80 W TDP with no power connectors and no suggested PSU, since it is an integrated graphics processor (IGP). The AMD card is dual-slot, measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height, and connects via PCIe 4.0 x8. The Intel part has no physical dimensions listed and connects via an integrated graphics processor bus interface.

Clock speeds differ sharply. The AMD card runs at a base clock of 1720 MHz, a game clock of 2350 MHz, and a boost clock of 2695 MHz, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The Intel part has a base clock of just 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, with no game clock specified. The memory clock is listed as "System Shared," reflecting its unified memory architecture.

Display outputs also diverge. The AMD card provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 connectors. The Intel part's display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," since integrated graphics rely on the host device's ports. The AMD card has a release date of 2025-02-06 and a launch MSRP of 279 USD. The Intel part has a release date of 2026-01-26 and no launch MSRP recorded. The AMD card's predecessor is Navi II and its successor is Navi IV, while the Intel part's predecessor is HD Graphics-WM and it has no successor listed.
