AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE vs Intel Arc G3 Extreme Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE and the Intel Arc G3 Extreme at opposite ends of the performance spectrum. The RX 9070 GRE delivers an average benchmark score of 57,367, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Arc G3 Extreme has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and sits in the 50th percentile, which reflects its integrated nature and lack of measurable discrete performance data. The RX 9070 GRE is the clear choice for any workload requiring sustained rendering, ray tracing, or high-bandwidth memory access. The Arc G3 Extreme, by contrast, is a low-power integrated graphics processor intended for portable devices, where its 80 W TDP and system-shared memory make it suitable for basic display output rather than demanding 3D tasks. The data shows no scenario where the Arc G3 Extreme outperforms the RX 9070 GRE, as the head-to-head benchmark table is empty and the RX 9070 GRE holds all recorded wins by default. The RX 9070 GRE also rivals established discrete GPUs, running within 0.7% of the Intel Arc A580 and 1.8% of the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT in average score. The Arc G3 Extreme has no nearest rivals listed, indicating insufficient data for comparative ranking.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table between the RX 9070 GRE and the Arc G3 Extreme is empty, meaning no direct comparative tests are recorded in the database. However, the RX 9070 GRE has individual benchmark results: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,424 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109,309. The Arc G3 Extreme has no benchmark entries at all. The wins counter shows zero wins for each GPU in direct comparison, but the RX 9070 GRE's recorded performance data and 87th percentile ranking indicate substantial capability relative to the Arc G3 Extreme's 50th percentile and zero average score. The RX 9070 GRE's nearest rivals provide context for its standing: it trails the Intel Arc A580 by 0.7%, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM by 1.2%, the Intel Arc A570M by 1.5%, and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT by 1.8% in average benchmark score. These deltas are narrow, showing the RX 9070 GRE operates within a tight competitive band around established mid-range and previous-generation high-end cards. The Arc G3 Extreme has no nearest rivals, reinforcing its position outside the discrete GPU comparison set. The RX 9070 GRE delivers 4.5 times the FP32 throughput of the Arc G3 Extreme (34.28 TFLOPS versus 7.680 TFLOPS) and 4.5 times the texture rate (535.7 GTexel/s versus 120.0 GTexel/s). Pixel rate is 4.5 times higher as well (267.8 GPixel/s versus 60.00 GPixel/s). Memory bandwidth differences are not directly comparable because the Arc G3 Extreme uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the RX 9070 GRE provides a fixed 432.0 GB/s. The RX 9070 GRE also carries four times the ray tracing cores (48 versus 12) and four times the ROPs (96 versus 24). The largest architectural gap is in shading resources: the RX 9070 GRE has twice the shading units and four times the TMUs of the Arc G3 Extreme. These ratios align with the two chips' different roles: the RX 9070 GRE is designed for full discrete rendering workloads, while the Arc G3 Extreme is an integrated solution for portable devices with a 2.75 times lower TDP (80 W versus 220 W). The data confirms the RX 9070 GRE as the higher-performing part across every quantifiable metric, with the Arc G3 Extreme offering power efficiency and integration rather than absolute performance.
