The memory configuration is a major difference. The Intel Arc A370M comes with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus. Memory bandwidth is 112.0 GB/s. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT comes with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD has three times the memory capacity and nearly four times the memory bandwidth. The Intel part uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while the AMD uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs on the Intel are portable device dependent, while the AMD has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Clock speeds differ. The Intel Arc A370M base clock is 1550 MHz with a boost clock of 2050 MHz. Its memory clock is 1750 MHz, which yields 14 Gbps effective. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT has a base clock of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. Its memory clock is 2250 MHz, which gives 18 Gbps effective.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Intel adds no DirectX version higher than 12_2, and AMD also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ in several key specifications. The Intel Arc A370M has a base clock of 1550 MHz, a boost clock of 2050 MHz, and a memory clock of 1750 MHz.

The Verdict

From the data, the choice is workload-dependent. The Intel Arc A370M is the part to pick for OpenCL compute workloads. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 29,676 is 81.4% above the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, and its average benchmark score is 12.2% higher. If the primary usage is Vulkan graphics, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the better option, with a 70.8% lead in the Geekbench Vulkan test. The AMD also has a larger memory pool and higher bandwidth, and more shading units, texture units, ROPs, and ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc has a much lower power envelope (35 W vs. 250 W), which is a strong consideration for mobile or power-limited builds.

The data supports one clear conclusion: there is no single winner. The Intel Arc A370M wins the compute-oriented OpenCL benchmark by a wide margin. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT wins the Vulkan graphics benchmark by a huge margin. The rest of the hardware differences line up with these results: the AMD has double the compute resources and much more memory bandwidth, while the Intel has a much smaller power envelope. The buyer should decide based on which API and workload dominates their use case.

Where Each One Wins

Pick the Intel Arc A370M if: The target workload is OpenCL compute, or the task is run in a power-constrained mobile chassis. The data shows a 81.4% lead over the AMD in Geekbench OpenCL, and its 35 W power envelope is a fraction of the AMD's 250 W. Its smaller die (157 mm² versus 335 mm²) and lower transistor count (7,200 million versus 17,200 million) also fit a more integrated system.

Pick the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT if: The target workload uses Vulkan. The lead in Geekbench Vulkan is 70.8% and it has a much larger memory pool, 12 GB versus 4 GB, and 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth versus 112.0 GB/s. It has 2.5 times more shading units, 2.5 times more texture units, 2 times the ROPs, and 5 times the ray tracing cores. The 40 ray tracing cores give it a distinct advantage in future ray-traced rendering workloads. It also has a slightly higher transistor density 51.3M/mm² versus 45.9M/mm².

The data makes the decision easy: compute-heavy OpenCL tasks go to the Intel Arc A370M, while Vulkan or memory-heavy GPU tasks go to the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT.
