AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE vs Intel Arc Pro B70 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE has two benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Arc Pro B70 has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This asymmetry shapes every conclusion that follows. The AMD card sits at the 87th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 57,367. Its nearest rivals, all within a narrow band, include the Intel Arc A580 at 57,756 (0.7% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58,085 (1.2% higher), the Intel Arc A570M at 58,239 (1.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at 58,392 (1.8% higher). The RX 9070 GRE trails each of these four by small margins, but the deltas are tight, under two percentage points in every case.

The Intel Arc Pro B70, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of any collected measurements. No wins can be attributed to it from direct benchmark data. The AMD card wins by default in every measured category because no comparable Intel scores exist. However, the Intel card wins decisively in several hardware specifications that do not require benchmark runs: memory capacity, memory bus width, memory bandwidth, texture units, render output units, and shading units. The AMD card wins in FP32 throughput, boost clock, and ray tracing core count. These specification-level advantages do not translate into a direct performance verdict, but they define where each product is positioned.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different manufacturers and different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die measures 357 mm² and contains 53,900 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 151.0 million per square millimeter. It belongs to the Navi IV generation within the Radeon RX 9000 series, released on May 7, 2025. The Intel Arc Pro B70 uses the BMG-G31 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The die is slightly larger at 368 mm², but the transistor count is listed as unknown, so no density figure exists. It belongs to the Battlemage Pro Series generation and has a release date of March 25, 2026.

Process node differences matter for efficiency characteristics, though power figures are close. The AMD card has a TDP of 220 W and requires two 8-pin power connectors, while the Intel card has a TDP of 230 W and requires a single 8-pin connector. Both recommend a 550 W power supply. Both cards use a dual-slot form factor and connect via PCIe 5.0 x16.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD card carries 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel card carries 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel card has 2.67 times the memory capacity and 1.41 times the bandwidth. Memory clocks differ too: AMD runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while Intel runs at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective).

Core counts also differ. The AMD card has 3,072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 48 ray tracing cores. The Intel card has 4,096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, 128 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. Intel leads in shading units by 33%, in TMUs by 33%, and in ROPs by 33%. AMD leads in ray tracing cores by 50%. These ratios affect different workload types: more shading units and TMUs generally help rasterization throughput, while more ray tracing cores help ray-traced scenes.

Compute throughput tells a different story. The AMD card delivers 34.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and the same 34.28 TFLOPS of FP16 performance in a 1:1 ratio. The Intel card delivers 22.94 TFLOPS of FP32 but 45.88 TFLOPS of FP16 in a 2:1 ratio. AMD has 49% higher FP32 throughput, while Intel has 34% higher FP16 throughput. Pixel and texture rates follow the core counts: AMD produces 267.8 GPixel/s and 535.7 GTexel/s, while Intel produces 358.4 GPixel/s and 716.8 GTexel/s.

Clock speeds are relatively close. AMD's base clock is 1420 MHz with a boost of 2790 MHz and a game clock of 2220 MHz. Intel's base clock is 2280 MHz with a boost of 2800 MHz, and it has no listed game clock. Intel's base clock is substantially higher, 60% above AMD's, but the boost clocks nearly match.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but qualified answer. For any user whose decision rests on measured benchmark results, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is the only option with actual performance data. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,424 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 109,309 put it at the 87th percentile. The Intel Arc Pro B70 has no recorded scores, so no performance claims can be made from the database.

For users whose decision rests on memory capacity and bandwidth, the Intel Arc Pro B70 is the clear choice. Its 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus with 608.0 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the AMD card's 12 GB, 192-bit bus, and 432.0 GB/s by wide margins. The Intel card also has more shading units, TMUs, and ROPs, which suggests stronger traditional rasterization capability, though no measurements confirm this.

For compute-heavy FP32 workloads, the AMD card leads with 34.28 TFLOPS against 22.94 TFLOPS. For FP16 workloads, the Intel card leads with 45.88 TFLOPS against 34.28 TFLOPS. The AMD card has more ray tracing cores, 48 versus 32, which could favor ray-traced games, but again, no benchmark data exists for the Intel card to verify this.

Release timing differs by nearly a year: the AMD card launched May 7, 2025, and the Intel card is dated March 25, 2026. The Intel card is a future product in the database, which may explain the missing benchmarks. The AMD card is listed as Active in production status, while the Intel card has no production status listed.

The verdict depends entirely on use case. A user prioritizing measured gaming or compute performance from the database should choose the AMD card. A user prioritizing memory capacity, memory bandwidth, or texture throughput should choose the Intel card, accepting that its performance remains unverified in the recorded data.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two cards. The only benchmark scores available belong to the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 5,424. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 109,309. These results place it at the 87th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The nearest rival data provides context for the AMD card's standing. The Intel Arc A580 scores 57,756 on average, which is 0.7% higher than the RX 9070 GRE's 57,367. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085, 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239, 1.5% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58,392, 1.8% higher. These deltas show that the RX 9070 GRE sits at the lower edge of a very tight cluster of GPUs, all within 1.8% of each other. The RX 9070 GRE is the lowest-scoring member of this group, but the group itself is remarkably close.

The Intel Arc Pro B70 has no benchmark scores and no nearest rivals listed in the database. This means its performance cannot be compared directly to the AMD card or to any other GPU. The percentile rank of 50 indicates it sits at the median position in the database, but that rank is computed from an average benchmark score of zero, which is not a meaningful performance value.

Without head-to-head measurements, the only quantitative comparisons come from specification differences. The Intel card's 608.0 GB/s bandwidth is 40.7% higher than the AMD card's 432.0 GB/s. The Intel card's 32 GB memory capacity is 166.7% higher than the AMD card's 12 GB. The Intel card's 358.4 GPixel/s pixel rate is 33.8% higher than the AMD card's 267.8 GPixel/s. The Intel card's 716.8 GTexel/s texture rate is 33.8% higher than the AMD card's 535.7 GTexel/s. The AMD card's 34.28 TFLOPS FP32 rate is 49.4% higher than the Intel card's 22.94 TFLOPS. The Intel card's 45.88 TFLOPS FP16 rate is 33.8% higher than the AMD card's 34.28 TFLOPS.

These specification advantages do not guarantee benchmark wins, but they indicate different workload strengths. The Intel card appears better suited for large memory footprints and texture-heavy rendering. The AMD card appears better suited for FP32 compute and ray-traced workloads, based on core counts and throughput figures.
