Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Arc Graphics 32EU Comparison

The database compares the Intel Arc G3 and the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU as two integrated graphics parts with very different execution resources. The Intel Arc G3 belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation and uses the Xe3-LPG architecture, while the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU belongs to Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake) and uses Xe-LPG. Both are listed as 3 nm parts, but the G3 is built by Intel and the 32EU by TSMC. The G3 carries 1280 shading units, 40 texture units, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores; the 32EU carries 256 shading units, 16 texture units, 8 ROPs, and no listed ray tracing cores. The only recorded benchmark score in this comparison belongs to the 32EU: 733 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

The Verdict

Strictly from the database, the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU is the only part with a measured benchmark result. Its score of 733 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 sets its average benchmark score at 733 and places it at percentile 3 of all GPUs. The Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark entries, an average benchmark score of 0, and a percentile of 50 that is not supported by any recorded run. If the selection criterion is measured performance data, the 32EU is the only supported option. If the selection criterion is execution resource count, the G3 is the stronger part on every listed compute metric: 1280 shading units versus 256, 40 texture units versus 16, 20 ROPs versus 8, 10 ray tracing cores versus none, 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 versus 998.4 GFLOPS, and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 versus 1.997 TFLOPS. The G3 also has the higher boost clock at 2400 MHz versus 1950 MHz and the lower TDP at 25 W versus 65 W. The data supports two distinct picks: the Arc Graphics 32EU when a measured benchmark result is required, and the Arc G3 when the higher execution resource set is required.

Architecture Differences

The two parts represent different Intel integrated graphics architectures. The Arc G3 uses Xe3-LPG and is built around the Panther Lake chip. The Arc Graphics 32EU uses Xe-LPG and is built around the Arrow Lake-S chip. Both are in the Arc Graphics-M family, but the G3 is listed under Panther Lake and the 32EU under Arrow Lake. The process node is the same in name, 3 nm, but the foundry differs: Intel for the G3, TSMC for the 32EU. The 32EU has documented silicon data: 17,800 million transistors, 243 mm² die size, and 73.3M / mm² transistor density. The G3 has no transistor count, die size, or density listed. The 32EU lists HD Graphics-M as its predecessor; the G3 lists no predecessor. The feature difference on the graphics side is ray tracing: the G3 has 10 ray tracing cores, while the 32EU has none listed. The bus interfaces also differ, with the G3 using IGP and the 32EU using Ring Bus. Both parts expose the same API set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs are environment dependent, but the database records them differently: portable device dependent for the G3 and motherboard dependent for the 32EU. Cache data is not recorded for either part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table for this pair is empty, so there is no direct score delta between the Intel Arc G3 and the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU. The recorded win counters are 0 for both parts. The only benchmark recorded in the database for either part is the 32EU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 733. That result gives the 32EU a percentile of 3 and an average benchmark score of 733. The G3 has no benchmark entries, so it has no comparable run and an average benchmark score of 0.

The nearest rival data for the 32EU provides context for the 733 score. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU and Intel Arc Graphics 64EU both score 733, a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M scores 723, which is 1.4% lower than the 32EU. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M scores 751, which is 2.4% higher than the 32EU.

Without a direct head-to-head run, the largest wins in this section are the G3's specification advantages: a boost clock of 2400 MHz versus 1950 MHz, a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s versus 15.60 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s versus 31.20 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput of 6.144 TFLOPS versus 998.4 GFLOPS.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Arc G3 wins every listed compute and throughput comparison. Its 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs give it higher pixel and texture fill rates: 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s, versus 15.60 GPixel/s and 31.20 GTexel/s for the 32EU. Its FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS versus 998.4 GFLOPS, and its FP16 throughput is 12.29 TFLOPS versus 1.997 TFLOPS. The G3 also has 10 ray tracing cores, while the 32EU has none listed. These wins point to use cases where shader compute, texture filtering, pixel fill, and ray tracing matter. The G3 also does this at a lower TDP of 25 W versus 65 W, which favors power-constrained integrated designs.

The Arc Graphics 32EU wins the only measured benchmark category, because it is the only part with a score. Its 733 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and its percentile 3 standing are actual recorded measurements, while the G3 has none. The 32EU also wins the silicon documentation category: it lists 17,800 million transistors, a 243 mm² die size, and 73.3M / mm² density, while the G3 lists none of those fields. The 32EU additionally has a defined predecessor, HD Graphics-M, and an earlier release date of 2024-10-23, compared with 2026-05-31 for the G3. These wins favor use cases that require a verified benchmark result, known die data, or a longer recorded product history.
