AMD Radeon RX 7700 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7700 and the Intel Arc G3. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither component records a win in direct comparison tests. This absence of paired measurements means any performance comparison must rely on the individual benchmark data recorded for the AMD Radeon RX 7700, which has a full suite of nine benchmark scores, while the Intel Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark entries at all.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 delivers an average benchmark score of 15,852 across its recorded tests. Its percentile ranking places it at the 58th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms 58 percent of recorded graphics processors. The Intel Arc G3 sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, indicating no measured performance data has been cataloged for this part.

For the RX 7700 specifically, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test records a score of 2,865. The Geekbench OpenCL score reaches 106,028. In the Passmark suite, the GPU Compute test produces 10,963, while the G3D score is 20,974. DirectX 11 performance shows a score of 186, DirectX 9 records 261, and DirectX 10 produces 92. The DirectX 12 Passmark score is 96. The G2D score, which measures 2D graphics operations, is 1,206.

The nearest rivals for the RX 7700 provide context for these numbers. The AMD Radeon R9 370X posts an average score of 15,862, which is 0.1 percent higher than the RX 7700, a statistically negligible margin. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 records 16,014, placing it 1 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 scores 15,679, which is 1.1 percent behind the RX 7700. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti leads the group with 16,129, sitting 1.7 percent above the RX 7700.

The data shows the RX 7700 clusters tightly with these four rivals, all within a 2.8 percent spread. The performance deltas are small enough that workload-specific behavior, driver state, or thermal conditions could shift relative positions. The RX 7700 is neither decisively ahead nor behind its nearest competitors; it occupies a narrow performance band where the RTX 3060 Ti edges ahead by 1.7 percent and the Pro W5500 trails by 1.1 percent.

Since the Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark scores, no direct numerical comparison between the two parts is possible from the recorded data. The G3's 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder derived from its position in the overall distribution, not from measured performance. Any statement about the G3's speed relative to the RX 7700 would require extrapolation beyond the facts in the database, which is not supported.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear division between these two products, though the comparison is limited by the absence of measurements for one side. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is a fully benchmarked discrete graphics card with nine recorded test scores, a 58th percentile ranking, and an average score of 15,852. Its nearest rivals are all within 1.7 percent of its average score, which places it in a competitive mid-range performance tier. The RX 7700's closest competitor, the RTX 3060 Ti, leads by 1.7 percent, while the R9 370X is effectively tied at 0.1 percent behind.

The Intel Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark data. Its average score is zero, its nearest rivals list is empty, and its 50th percentile ranking is not supported by any measured test results. The G3 is an integrated graphics processor with a 25 W TDP, while the RX 7700 is a dual-slot discrete card with a 200 W TDP. The database does not contain performance evidence for the G3, so no verdict on its speed relative to the RX 7700 can be derived from the facts.

For users selecting a component based on the available data, the RX 7700 is the only option with measured performance. It delivers scores that place it just behind the RTX 3060 Ti by 1.7 percent and just ahead of the Pro W5500 by 1.1 percent. The G3 cannot be ranked against it because no benchmark results exist. The data indicates that the RX 7700 occupies a specific performance band, and the G3's performance remains unquantified.

Specification Differences

The two components differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 uses the Navi 32 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, while the Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture. The RX 7700 is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, whereas the G3 uses a 3 nm process at Intel. The RX 7700 contains 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die with a transistor density of 81.2 million per mm²; the G3 lists transistor count, die size, and density as unknown or null.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The RX 7700 has a base clock of 1900 MHz, a boost clock of 2459 MHz, and a game clock of 2041 MHz. The G3 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with no game clock listed. Memory configurations are fundamentally different: the RX 7700 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256 bit bus with 624.1 GB/s bandwidth, while the G3 uses system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth.

Compute resources differ by roughly a factor of two. The RX 7700 has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 96 raster operation units, and 40 ray tracing cores. The G3 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. Pixel rate for the RX 7700 is 236.1 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s for the G3. Texture rate is 393.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 25.18 TFLOPS for the RX 7700 and 6.144 TFLOPS for the G3. FP16 performance is 25.18 TFLOPS (1:1) for the RX 7700 and 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1) for the G3.

Power and physical specifications diverge sharply. The RX 7700 has a 200 W TDP, requires dual-slot cooling, uses two 8-pin power connectors, and recommends a 550 W power supply. The G3 has a 25 W TDP, is an IGP with no slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested power supply. The RX 7700 uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface; the G3 uses IGP. Display outputs for the RX 7700 include one HDMI 2.1a, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C; the G3 lists outputs as portable device dependent. The RX 7700 measures 267 mm in length, 135 mm in height, and 50 mm in width; the G3 has no recorded dimensions.

Release dates differ, with the RX 7700 released on 2025-09-17 and the G3 on 2026-05-31. The RX 7700 has a predecessor in Navi II and a successor in Navi IV; the G3 has neither listed. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Neither part has a launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between these two GPUs is fundamental. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and the Navi III (RX 7000) generation, built on RDNA 3.0 with the Wheat Nas codename. The Intel Arc G3 belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation and uses the Xe3-LPG architecture with no codename recorded. The RX 7700's process node is 5 nm at TSMC, while the G3's is 3 nm at Intel, representing a newer manufacturing process but from different foundries.

The RX 7700 is a discrete graphics card designed for standalone installation, as indicated by its dual-slot width, PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, and two 8-pin power connectors. The G3 is an integrated graphics processor with an IGP bus interface, no power connectors, and system shared memory, indicating it is built into a processor package rather than existing as a separate card.

Memory architecture reflects this divide. The RX 7700 has dedicated 16 GB GDDR6 memory with a 256 bit bus and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth. The G3 relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, meaning its memory performance scales with the host system's RAM configuration rather than being fixed by the GPU design.

Compute architecture differs in scale and ratio. The RX 7700's 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 96 ROPs give it a texture-to-shader ratio of 1:16 and a ROP-to-shader ratio of 1:26.7. The G3's 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs yield a texture-to-shader ratio of 1:32 and a ROP-to-shader ratio of 1:64. The G3 has proportionally fewer texture units and ROPs relative to its shader count, which aligns with its lower pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s compared to the RX 7700's 236.1 GPixel/s.

Ray tracing resources also scale differently. The RX 7700 includes 40 ray tracing cores, while the G3 includes 10. FP16 processing differs in ratio: the RX 7700 delivers FP16 at 1:1 with FP32, both at 25.18 TFLOPS, while the G3 delivers FP16 at 2:1, producing 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 versus 6.144 TFLOPS FP32. This indicates the RX 7700 does not use dedicated FP16 hardware, while the G3 does.

The RX 7700's transistor density of 81.2 million per mm² reflects its 5 nm process and 346 mm² die. The G3's transistor count and die size are unknown in the database, so no density comparison is possible. The G3's 3 nm process at Intel likely contributes to its low 25 W TDP, but the database does not provide the physical die data needed to confirm this relationship. The RX 7700's 200 W TDP and dedicated power delivery infrastructure support its higher clock speeds, particularly the 2459 MHz boost clock versus the G3's 2400 MHz boost clock, despite the G3's much lower 300 MHz base clock.
