AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Graphics 32EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records a single shared benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The AMD part scores 2336, while the Intel integrated solution scores 733. The delta is 218.7% in favor of the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. This is not a close contest; the discrete GPU delivers more than three times the raw performance of the integrated part in this DirectX 12 workload.

Looking at the broader benchmark database, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE holds an average benchmark score of 42723, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU averages 733, sitting in the 3rd percentile. The gap between the two is roughly 58 times in average score, though the direct head-to-head test shows a 218.7% difference, which reflects the specific workload rather than the aggregate.

The AMD part’s nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (average score 43223, delta -1.2%), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, -1.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, -1.3%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, -1.3%). The RX 7650 GRE sits within 1.3% of these parts, indicating that its average score is competitive with a cluster of higher-tier discrete GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU, by contrast, is bracketed by the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU (733, 0%), the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU (733, 0%), the AMD Radeon HD 6470M (723, 1.4%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M (751, -2.4%). The 32EU is effectively tied with its 24EU and 64EU siblings in this test, and it trades places with a decade-old mobile GPU.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins the only recorded head-to-head benchmark, and it wins decisively. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RX 7650 GRE’s 2336 score versus the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU’s 733 translates to a 218.7% advantage. The database shows 1 win for the AMD part and 0 for the Intel part. There is no test in the database where the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU outperforms the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE.

For use-case segmentation, the data points are limited but clear. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a discrete GPU with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. Its architecture is RDNA 3.0, and it carries 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, with no dedicated ray tracing cores listed. The Intel part uses system shared memory, which makes its bandwidth system dependent, whereas the AMD part has a fixed 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth.

The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU’s role is clearly in low-power integrated contexts: it has a 65 W TDP, uses a Ring Bus interface, and outputs are motherboard dependent. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, requires a 450 W suggested PSU, and provides 1x HDMI 2.1a plus 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The performance data indicates that the AMD part is suited for tasks requiring sustained GPU throughput, while the Intel part is suited for basic display output and light workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip, built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It is fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process, containing 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip, based on Xe-LPG architecture, and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm TSMC process, with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 73.3M per mm².

The AMD part has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1950 MHz. The memory subsystems are fundamentally different: the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU uses system shared memory, with system dependent bandwidth and no fixed bus width.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The AMD part has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed. Pixel and texture rates reflect this: the AMD part achieves 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s, while the Intel part achieves 15.60 GPixel/s and 31.20 GTexel/s. Floating point performance is 22.08 TFLOPS (FP32) and 22.08 TFLOPS (FP16, 1:1) for AMD, versus 998.4 GFLOPS (FP32) and 1.997 TFLOPS (FP16, 2:1) for Intel.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has a TDP of 170 W, is dual-slot, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and requires a 450 W suggested PSU. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU has a 65 W TDP, is an IGP with no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD part has a release date of 2025-02-06, while the Intel part has a release date of 2024-10-23. The AMD part is in the Radeon RX 7000 series, with a predecessor of Navi II and a successor of Navi IV. The Intel part is in the Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake) generation, with a predecessor of HD Graphics-M and no successor listed.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a decisive performance tier gap. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE delivers 218.7% higher performance in the single shared 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, and its average benchmark score of 42723 places it in the 83rd percentile, while the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU’s 733 average score places it in the 3rd percentile. The AMD part’s nearest rivals are all discrete GPUs from NVIDIA, with deltas within 1.3%, confirming that it competes in the discrete mid-to-high range. The Intel part’s nearest rivals include its own lower- and higher-EU variants (24EU and 64EU, both scoring 733), plus legacy mobile GPUs like the AMD Radeon HD 6470M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M, indicating that it is a low-end integrated solution.

For users selecting a GPU, the choice is straightforward based on the database. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE provides dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 compute, 32 ray tracing cores, and a 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, all of which contribute to its 83rd percentile standing. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU provides 998.4 GFLOPS FP32 compute, no dedicated ray tracing cores, and system shared memory, resulting in a 3rd percentile standing. The AMD part is a discrete card with a 170 W TDP and a 450 W suggested PSU; the Intel part is an IGP with a 65 W TDP and no power connector requirement.

The data does not support any scenario where the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU outperforms the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. The AMD part wins the only head-to-head test, wins on every compute metric, and has a higher transistor density on a smaller process node (6 nm versus 3 nm, but the AMD part uses 13,300 million transistors versus Intel’s 17,800 million, with the Intel die being larger at 243 mm² versus 204 mm²). The Intel part’s only advantages are a lower TDP (65 W versus 170 W) and an earlier release date (2024-10-23 versus 2025-02-06). The AMD part has a launch MSRP of 279 USD.
