AMD Steam Machine GPU vs Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark for the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, scoring 733 points. The AMD Steam Machine GPU has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its average benchmark score at zero and its percentile ranking at 50. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for compute performance, but the available data still allows for meaningful analysis through architectural specifications and the Intel part's position among its nearest rivals.

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU sits at the 3rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, a low position that reflects its integrated design. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, both scoring exactly 733 points with a delta of 0 percent, meaning the 64EU shows no measurable performance advantage over its lower-end siblings in this particular test. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M scores 723 points, placing the Intel part 1.4 percent ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M scores 751 points, meaning the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU trails that part by 2.4 percent.

For the AMD Steam Machine GPU, the absence of benchmark entries means the database records no wins for either side in a head-to-head comparison. The wins counter shows zero for both items, which reflects the incomplete benchmark data rather than an actual performance equivalence. The AMD part's 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits near the middle of the database distribution, but without a recorded score, this percentile cannot be tied to a specific benchmark result.

The disparity in recorded data is itself informative. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, as an integrated GPU within a desktop processor, has been tested and placed within the database hierarchy. The AMD Steam Machine GPU, a discrete console-oriented part, has not yet been subjected to the same benchmark suite in the database, so its position rests entirely on its specification sheet.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU wins in the only measurable benchmark category, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it records a score of 733. That score places it in the lowest tier of the database, but it does represent a functional result. The part's nearest rivals show that it performs essentially identically to the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 24EU, which both score 733, and it edges out the older AMD Radeon HD 6470M by 1.4 percent. Against the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M, it falls short by 2.4 percent.

The AMD Steam Machine GPU wins in raw specification categories. Its shading unit count of 1792 exceeds the Intel part's 512 units by a factor of 3.5. Its texture mapping units number 112 against 32, and its render output units number 64 against 16. The pixel rate of the AMD part reaches 156.8 GPixel/s, while the Intel part manages 30.40 GPixel/s, a difference of roughly five times. Texture rate follows a similar pattern, with the AMD part at 274.4 GTexel/s versus the Intel part's 60.80 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance shows the AMD part at 17.56 TFLOPS for FP32, while the Intel part delivers 1.946 TFLOPS, a gap of approximately nine times.

The AMD part also wins in memory configuration. It uses 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part relies on system shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent, which offers no fixed figure for comparison.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Steam Machine GPU uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Console GPU generation for Valve. The process node is 6 nm at TSMC, with 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 uses the Arrow Lake-S chip built on Xe-LPG architecture, belonging to the Arc Graphics generation for Arrow Lake. Its process node is 3 nm at TSMC, with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, yielding a density of 73.3 million per square millimeter.

The AMD part's clock behavior differs markedly from the Intel part. The AMD GPU has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2450 MHz, and a game clock of 2250 MHz. Memory clock runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective data rate. The Intel part has a base clock of just 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1900 MHz, with no game clock listed and memory clock described as system shared.

Ray tracing hardware appears only on the AMD part, which includes 28 dedicated ray tracing cores. The Intel part lists no ray tracing cores in the database. Neither part lists tensor cores.

The AMD part includes 28 ray tracing cores, while the Intel part has none listed. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate with feature level 12_2, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD part outputs video through 1x HDMI 2.1a and 1x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Intel part's display outputs are motherboard dependent.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split between these two parts based on their intended roles. The AMD Steam Machine GPU is built for discrete console-class rendering, with dedicated memory, high clock speeds, and substantially higher raw throughput across every measured specification category. Its FP32 performance of 17.56 TFLOPS, pixel rate of 156.8 GPixel/s, and texture rate of 274.4 GTexel/s place it in a different performance class from the Intel integrated solution.

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, as an integrated GPU with 512 shading units, 1.946 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, and system shared memory, occupies the entry-level segment. Its benchmark score of 733 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and its 3rd percentile ranking confirm this position. The fact that it performs identically to the 32EU and 24EU variants in the database suggests that the 64EU's additional execution resources do not translate into a measurable advantage in this particular workload.

For users who need a standalone GPU with dedicated video memory and the ability to render at higher resolutions and frame rates, the AMD Steam Machine GPU is the appropriate choice based on the specification data. For users who require a low-power integrated graphics solution within a desktop processor, the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU delivers a functional but modest level of performance, as indicated by its low benchmark score and percentile placement.

The database currently lacks benchmark data for the AMD part, so its performance position cannot be empirically confirmed. The specification comparison, however, shows a substantial gap in raw compute resources that would likely translate to a significant performance advantage for the AMD GPU once benchmark data becomes available.
