AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 and Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile serve fundamentally different markets, and the data confirms this clearly. The Radeon PRO W7500 is a discrete workstation card with a 70 W TDP, 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, and a 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is an integrated graphics solution with a 25 W TDP, system-shared memory, and a 50th percentile ranking.

The Radeon PRO W7500 delivers 12.19 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is approximately 5.2 times the 2.355 TFLOPS of the Intel part. Its average benchmark score of 16415 places it alongside the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16408, 0% delta) and slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16361, 0.3% delta). The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so direct performance comparisons are limited to specification analysis.

For users building a workstation that requires sustained rendering, compute workloads, or multi-display output, the Radeon PRO W7500 is the clear choice. It offers dedicated memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s, four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and a single-slot form factor. For ultra-portable laptops where power efficiency and integrated graphics are the priority, the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile fits a different niche entirely.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent completely different architectural approaches. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It is manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm².

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile uses the Panther Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture. It is manufactured on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, and transistor density is not recorded.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The Radeon PRO W7500 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with a fixed bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. The Intel part uses system-shared memory with a system-dependent bandwidth, meaning its performance scales with the host platform's memory configuration.

The Radeon PRO W7500 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 ray tracing cores. The AMD part has roughly 3.5 times the shading units and 7 times the ray tracing cores.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon PRO W7500 connects via PCIe 4.0 x8, while the Intel part is an IGP with no dedicated bus interface.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores at all, and the head-to-head wins counter shows 0 for both sides.

However, the Radeon PRO W7500's individual benchmark results provide context for its performance tier. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 58213, and in Geekbench Vulkan it scores 68634. PassMark results show a G3D score of 13368, a G2D score of 1174, and a GPU compute score of 5910. Legacy DirectX tests show scores of 200 for DirectX 9, 125 for DirectX 11, 65 for DirectX 10, and 46 for DirectX 12.

The nearest rival data places the Radeon PRO W7500's average benchmark score of 16415 against the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at 16408 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT at 16361 (0.3% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M at 16351 (0.4% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 at 16504 (-0.5% delta). The AMD card is effectively performance-equivalent to the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and about 0.3% ahead of the RX 5700 XT.

Since the Intel part has no benchmark data, any comparison must rely on the specification deltas. The Radeon PRO W7500's FP32 throughput of 12.19 TFLOPS versus 2.355 TFLOPS indicates a roughly 5.2x advantage in raw compute. The texture rate of 190.4 GTexel/s versus 73.60 GTexel/s shows a 2.6x advantage. The pixel rate of 108.8 GPixel/s versus 36.80 GPixel/s shows a 3.0x advantage.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon PRO W7500 wins in every measurable performance category recorded in the database. It offers higher FP32 and FP16 throughput, higher texture and pixel fill rates, more shading units, more ray tracing cores, and dedicated memory with fixed bandwidth. Its 70 W TDP is higher than the Intel part's 25 W, but this is the trade-off for discrete workstation performance. The single-slot form factor and four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs make it suitable for professional multi-monitor setups. Its 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it sits above the median of the entire GPU landscape.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile wins in power efficiency. Its 25 W TDP is roughly one-third of the Radeon PRO W7500's 70 W, making it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where battery life and thermal constraints dominate. Its 3 nm process node at Intel is smaller than the 6 nm node at TSMC used by the AMD part, which contributes to its lower power draw. The IGP form factor means no additional card slot is needed, and the system-shared memory approach eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM allocation.

The Radeon PRO W7500 is the appropriate choice for workstation rendering, compute acceleration, and multi-display professional use cases where the 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 12.19 TFLOPS compute are necessary. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is appropriate for portable devices where the 25 W power envelope and integrated form factor take precedence over raw performance. The release dates also matter: the Radeon PRO W7500 launched on 2023-08-02, while the Intel part launched on 2026-01-26, making the Intel product a more recent design.
