AMD decided to greet the "new player" in the field of discrete gaming graphics processors, providing their own tests regarding the fastest (currently) of the released graphics processor ARC Alchemist. All official Intel Performance Charts, published 2 days ago, belonged to their own integrated graphics processors. Unfortunately, Intel did not provide reviewers samples of products based on ARC, which means that we have to rely on either such official tests or what was published by the first users.

AMD has published a comparative Radeon RX 6500M and Arc A370M table. Intel solution is based on a full-fledged ACM-G11 graphics processor XE (1024 FP32 kernels), and the AMD Navi 24 XM processor has 16 computing blocks (1024 kernels).

Similarities between both SKU go a little further. First of all, they are both produced using the TSMC N6 technical process (the only 6-nm graphic processor AMD in the entire RDNA2 line) and have the same memory characteristics of 4 GB 64-bit GDDR6 (although the complete Intel 96-bit chip). Nevertheless, certainly the most important indicator for any comparison of mobile graphics processors is the TDP range, and they are the same for both solutions: from 35 W to 50 W.

From the schedule published today AMD, we learn that the RX 6500M is faster than at least five games that were tested in a 1080p resolution with medium settings. This, of course, is basically supported by AMD. AMD here is clearly mocking in the Intel marketing, which said 90 FPS here at 1080p games. It turns out that it is not quite so with more demanding games.
