AMD Radeon 760M vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile Comparison

AMD Radeon 760M vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon 760M delivers substantially higher measured graphics performance across every recorded benchmark, while the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores in the database at this time. The Radeon 760M posts an average benchmark score of 6019, placing it in the 35th percentile of all GPUs tracked, whereas the Intel part shows no recorded average score and holds a 50th percentile ranking based on its specifications alone.

In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the AMD Radeon 760M records a score of 400. This test represents modern DirectX 12 workloads with heavy geometry and ray-traced effects. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no score recorded for this test, so direct numerical comparison is not possible from the database. The Radeon 760M also achieves 20255 in Geekbench OpenCL and 30336 in Geekbench Vulkan, both indicating strong compute throughput for a mobile integrated GPU.

PassMark results further confirm the AMD part's advantage. The Radeon 760M scores 5310 in PassMark G3D, which aggregates DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12 performance into a single graphics metric. Its PassMark DirectX 9 score is 65, DirectX 10 is 19, DirectX 11 is 52, and DirectX 12 is 25. For 2D workloads, the PassMark G2D score reaches 890. The GPU compute score in PassMark is 2840, reflecting general-purpose compute performance. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no recorded PassMark scores in any of these categories.

The Radeon 760M's nearest rivals in the database illustrate its performance tier. It sits 0.3% above the AMD Radeon RX 6400 and 0.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M based on average scores. It also trails the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 by 0.5%. These small margins place the Radeon 760M in a competitive range with those discrete and older mobile parts, despite being an integrated GPU. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no nearest rivals listed, meaning no comparable performance data exists in the database for it.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 760M wins in every measurable category because the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no benchmark entries. The Radeon 760M delivers 5.323 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is roughly nine times higher than the Intel part's 588.8 GFLOPS. This gap directly translates to faster shader processing, higher frame rates in GPU-bound scenarios, and quicker compute tasks such as image filtering or physics simulations.

For pixel throughput, the Radeon 760M achieves 41.58 GPixel/s versus 9.200 GPixel/s for the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile. That is over four times the fill rate, meaning the AMD part can drive higher resolutions or more complex fragment shaders without bottlenecking. Texture rate shows a similar pattern: 83.17 GTexel/s for AMD versus 18.40 GTexel/s for Intel, a 4.5x advantage in texture sampling and filtering.

The Radeon 760M also has more execution resources. It contains 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster operation units. The Intel part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. In ray tracing, the AMD part includes 8 ray tracing cores while Intel includes only 1. For workloads that leverage these units, the Radeon 760M will process more parallel threads and higher geometry complexity. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile does show a higher FP16 rate relative to its FP32 (1,177.6 GFLOPS at 2:1 ratio), which could benefit certain mixed-precision compute tasks, but the absolute FP16 number still trails the AMD part's 5.323 TFLOPS.

In terms of clock behavior, the Radeon 760M runs at a base of 800 MHz and boosts to 2599 MHz. The Intel part runs at 300 MHz base and 2300 MHz boost. Higher boost clocks on AMD contribute to its throughput advantage, though architecture differences also play a role. The Radeon 760M uses a 4 nm process from TSMC with 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The Intel part uses a 3 nm process from Intel, but its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so density cannot be compared.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Radeon 760M uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a chip codenamed Phoenix, and belongs to the Navi III IGP generation. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a chip codenamed Wildcat Lake, and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation. These are fundamentally different designs: RDNA 3.0 is a graphics-first architecture with unified shaders, while Xe3-LPG is Intel's low-power graphics architecture for mobile SoCs.

The manufacturing process differs. AMD uses TSMC's 4 nm node, while Intel uses its own 3 nm node. The AMD chip integrates 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. Intel's transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database, so no direct comparison is possible. The Radeon 760M has a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter, which is a measure of design density on the 4 nm process.

Memory architecture is identical in concept: both use System Shared memory, meaning the GPU shares system RAM with the CPU. Memory size, type, and bus width are all listed as System Shared for both, and bandwidth is System Dependent, meaning it varies with the host platform's memory configuration. Neither part has dedicated VRAM, and neither has a memory bus width specified in the database.

The Radeon 760M supports PCIe 4.0 x8 as its bus interface, while the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is listed simply as IGP, indicating it is integrated into the processor and likely uses an internal fabric connection rather than a standard PCIe slot. Display outputs are Motherboard Dependent for AMD, meaning they depend on the laptop or motherboard design, and Portable Device Dependent for Intel, reflecting its mobile-focused integration. Power connectors are None for both, as these are integrated GPUs. The AMD part has a TDP of 15 W, while the Intel part has a TDP of 25 W, suggesting Intel's design targets a higher power envelope despite lower performance.

API support is identical: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. This means both can run the latest graphics APIs with features like ray tracing and mesh shaders, though the Radeon 760M has more hardware units to execute those features.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows the AMD Radeon 760M as the stronger GPU for any graphics or compute workload. Its average benchmark score of 6019 places it alongside discrete GPUs like the Radeon RX 6400 and GeForce GTX 770M, while the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no recorded scores to establish a performance baseline. With 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores, the Radeon 760M provides roughly four times the execution resources of the Intel part. Its FP32 throughput of 5.323 TFLOPS is approximately nine times higher than Intel's 588.8 GFLOPS.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile does have advantages in process node (3 nm vs 4 nm) and a higher TDP (25 W vs 15 W), but these do not translate into any recorded performance wins. The Intel part's higher percentile ranking (50th vs 35th) is based on no benchmark data, so it should not be interpreted as evidence of superior performance. The Radeon 760M's release date of January 30, 2024, also means it has been available longer, while the Intel part's release date is listed as April 15, 2026, suggesting it is a newer product that has not yet accumulated benchmark results in the database.

For users choosing between these two integrated GPUs, the Radeon 760M is the clear choice based on all recorded measurements. It delivers higher fill rates, more compute throughput, and better raw performance in every benchmark category. The Intel part may offer better power efficiency per watt given its smaller process node, but that is not reflected in any performance metric in the database.
