AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Pro B65 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains two benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2336 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109. The Intel Arc Pro B65 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which places its average benchmark score at 0 and its percentile at 50, compared to the AMD card's 83rd percentile. This absence of measured data for the Intel card means that a direct score-to-score comparison cannot be constructed from recorded measurements alone.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has an average benchmark score of 42723 across recorded tests. Its nearest rivals in the database are NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER with an average score of 43223, a delta of -1.2%; NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43262, also -1.2%; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 43268, a -1.3% delta; and NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43301, a -1.3% delta. This places the AMD card within 1.3% of these four GPUs, effectively in the same performance bracket. The Intel Arc Pro B65, by contrast, has no nearest rivals listed and no average score to anchor a comparison.

The AMD card's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 2336 reflects its DX12 rendering capability. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 indicates strong general compute throughput. The Intel card's absence from both test categories means its performance characteristics must be inferred from its architectural and specification profile rather than from measured results. The data shows a clear asymmetry: one product has recorded benchmark data, the other does not.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is the only product with measurable benchmark output. Its 83rd percentile versus all GPUs and its position within 1.3% of four NVIDIA cards indicate that it occupies a defined performance tier. The Intel Arc Pro B65 sits at the 50th percentile, a median standing, but with zero recorded benchmark scores, that percentile reflects an absence of data rather than a measured performance level.

Users seeking a product with verified compute and rendering scores should select the AMD card. The data shows its 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and its benchmark results provide a concrete reference point. The Intel card offers no measured scores to evaluate, so its performance cannot be confirmed from the database. The Intel product is appropriate only for workloads where its 32 GB memory capacity and higher bandwidth, 608.0 GB/s, take priority over confirmed benchmark performance. The AMD card's 288.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB capacity are substantially lower in both respects.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs use different architectures from different manufacturers. AMD employs RDNA 3.0 on the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. Intel uses Xe2-HPG on the BMG-G21 chip, part of the Battlemage Pro Series generation. The foundations differ: AMD's process node is 6 nm, while Intel's is 5 nm, both fabricated by TSMC.

Transistor counts diverge significantly. AMD packs 13,300 million transistors onto a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². Intel integrates 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a density of 72.1M per mm². The Intel chip carries roughly 47% more transistors on a 33% larger die, and its higher density reflects the smaller process node.

Compute resources differ in configuration. AMD provides 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. Intel provides 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. AMD has 32 ray tracing cores; Intel has 20. Neither product lists tensor cores. Clock behavior also differs: AMD's base clock is 1720 MHz with a boost of 2695 MHz and a game clock of 2350 MHz, while Intel's base and boost clocks are both 2400 MHz, with no game clock specified.

FP32 throughput tells a different story from the raw unit counts. AMD delivers 22.08 TFLOPS FP32, while Intel delivers 12.29 TFLOPS FP32. The AMD card is about 80% higher in FP32 despite having fewer shading units, because its boost clock is much higher. In FP16, AMD offers 22.08 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, while Intel offers 24.58 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning Intel's FP16 throughput exceeds its FP32 throughput and slightly exceeds AMD's FP16 figure.

Pixel and texture rates follow the unit counts. AMD achieves 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s. Intel achieves 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. Intel leads in both rasterization throughput metrics, despite lower FP32 compute, due to its higher ROP and TMU counts.

Specification Differences

Memory capacity and bandwidth present the largest specification gap. AMD uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. Intel uses 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus with 608.0 GB/s bandwidth, four times the capacity and more than double the bandwidth. Memory clocks are 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for AMD and 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for Intel.

Power and cooling requirements differ. AMD's TDP is 170 W with a suggested PSU of 450 W. Intel's TDP is 200 W with a suggested PSU of 550 W. Both use a dual-slot design and a single 8-pin power connector. Neither lists a width dimension; AMD lists a length of 204 mm (8 inches) and a height of 115 mm (4.5 inches), while Intel lists no dimensions.

Bus interface differs. AMD uses PCIe 4.0 x8, Intel uses PCIe 5.0 x16, a substantial difference in both generation and lane count. Display outputs also differ: AMD provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while Intel provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1 with no HDMI output. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Release timing differs by more than a year. AMD was released on February 6, 2025, with a launch MSRP of 279 USD. Intel was released on March 31, 2026. AMD lists a predecessor (Navi II) and successor (Navi IV); Intel lists neither. Both products are marked as Active in production status.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in FP32 compute, with 22.08 TFLOPS versus Intel's 12.29 TFLOPS. It also wins in ray tracing core count, 32 versus 20, and in boost clock, 2695 MHz versus 2400 MHz. Its 83rd percentile ranking and measured benchmark scores give it a documented performance profile. Its lower TDP of 170 W and suggested PSU of 450 W make it the less demanding option for power delivery. It is the only card of the two with a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2336 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109.

The Intel Arc Pro B65 wins in memory capacity and bandwidth, offering 32 GB at 608.0 GB/s versus AMD's 8 GB at 288.0 GB/s. It wins in shading units, 2560 versus 2048; TMUs, 160 versus 128; and ROPs, 80 versus 64. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s exceed AMD's 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s. Its FP16 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1) exceeds AMD's 22.08 TFLOPS (1:1). It uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface versus AMD's PCIe 4.0 x8, and its 5 nm process node is smaller than AMD's 6 nm node. Its base clock of 2400 MHz is higher than AMD's base clock of 1720 MHz, though its boost clock is lower than AMD's 2695 MHz.

The data suggests a split between compute-focused workloads and memory-focused workloads. AMD's higher FP32 and ray tracing resources position it for traditional graphics and compute tasks where single-precision throughput matters. Intel's large memory pool, wide memory bus, and higher rasterization rates position it for data-heavy tasks that require storing large datasets on the GPU. The absence of benchmark data for Intel means its actual performance in these roles remains unverified in the database, while AMD's measured results provide a confirmed baseline for its capabilities.
