AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 vs Intel UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake) vs Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs

AMD Radeon RX Vega 5

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 is an integrated GPU for notebooks. It is used for the Ryzen 3 4000 APUs, which were launched in early 2020. The GPU is based on the Vega architecture (5th generation GCN) and has 5 CUs (= 320 shaders) clocked at up to 1400 MHz. The performance depends on the configured TDP (12-25 W at launch), the clocks, the cooling, and the memory configuration). The GPU should benefit from fast dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM (contrary to DDR4-2133 single-channel, which is also possible).

The Vega architecture offers some improvements over the Polaris generation and now supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_1. More information is available in our dedicated article about the Raven Ridge architecture.

The performance should be slightly below or on par with the older Radeon RX Vega 6 (6 CUs but lower clock speeds). Therefore, only a few modern games like Fifa 20 or F1 2019 should be able to run in lowest detail settings.

Thanks to the 7nm process and clever power-saving features, the power consumption is comparatively low (according to AMD), so the graphics card can also be used for slim and light notebooks.

Intel UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake)

Die Intel Xe Graphics 32 EUS (Alder Lake) ist eine Prozessorgrafikkarte, die Anfang 2023 vorgestellt wurde. Sie basiert auf die Xe Architektur (Gen12) und bietet in Alder Lake CPUs nur 32 der 96 verbauten Execution Units (EUs). Die GPU wird im verbesserten 10nm Verfahren (Intel 7) bei Intel gefertigt. Die Rohleistung ist vergleichbar mit der Radeon RX Vega 6 (in Ryzen 5000 CPUs), jedoch ist die Spieleleistung geringer durch den schwächeren Treibersupport (in 2022). Nur anspruchslose Spiele wie Dota 2 Reborn sind mit geringsten Settings flüssig spielbar (siehe unten).
