AMD Radeon PRO W7700 vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is a dedicated workstation graphics card built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture with the Wildcat Lake chip, intended for portable devices. The recorded data shows a fundamental performance gap between the two, driven by their entirely different design goals.

The Radeon PRO W7700 targets professional workloads requiring sustained throughput, large memory capacity, and high bandwidth. It carries 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its average benchmark score across the database is 118,976, which places it in the 95th percentile of all GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, an average benchmark score of 0, and sits in the 50th percentile. The data indicates that the AMD card is the only option for compute-heavy tasks, while the Intel part serves as a basic integrated graphics solution for everyday display output and light acceleration.

For users selecting a workstation GPU, the Radeon PRO W7700 is the clear choice based on the available data. It delivers 31.95 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 63.90 TFLOPS of FP16 performance, and includes 48 ray accelerators. Its pixel rate is 249.6 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 499.2 GTexel/s. The Intel part delivers 588.8 GFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1,177.6 GFLOPS of FP16 performance, with a pixel rate of 9.200 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 18.40 GTexel/s. The differences are on the order of 54 times in raw FP32 throughput.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is suited for systems where power consumption is the primary constraint. It has a TDP of 25 W, uses no power connectors, and is an IGP with a slot width of IGP. The AMD card has a TDP of 190 W, requires a single 8-pin power connector, and is a dual-slot card. The Intel solution also relies on system shared memory, making its bandwidth system dependent, whereas the AMD card has dedicated GDDR6 memory. The choice between these two is not competitive; it is a choice between a full workstation accelerator and an integrated mobile graphics processor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 wins in every measurable performance category in the database. It has 3,072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. This 24-fold difference in shading units and 24-fold difference in TMUs directly translates into the massive throughput gap recorded in the specification data.

In memory-bound scenarios, the Radeon PRO W7700 dominates. Its 256-bit memory bus and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth provide sustained data flow for large datasets. The Intel part uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, which cannot match dedicated GDDR6 in either capacity or speed. For rendering, simulation, or machine learning tasks that rely on large memory footprints, the Radeon PRO W7700 is the only part with a defined memory subsystem.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile wins in power efficiency per watt, meaning it consumes far less power for basic tasks. Its TDP of 25 W is dramatically lower than the 190 W TDP of the Radeon PRO W7700. It also requires no external power connectors and fits into an IGP slot, which is appropriate for thin and light portable devices. The AMD card requires a dual-slot footprint and a 1x 8-pin power connector, which is not suitable for compact mobile systems.

The Radeon PRO W7700 also wins on display connectivity options. It offers 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, whereas the Intel part's display outputs are portable device dependent. The AMD card supports a full PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part uses an IGP bus interface, meaning it relies on the host processor's integrated memory controller for all data movement.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 uses a 5 nm process at TSMC and integrates 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die. The transistor density is 81.2M per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry, though its transistor count and die size are unknown in the database.

The AMD architecture is RDNA 3.0, with the chip named Navi 32 and a codename of Wheat Nas. Its generation is listed as Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series). The Intel architecture is Xe3-LPG, with the chip named Wildcat Lake and a generation of Arc Graphics-M (Wildcat Lake). Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature support is identical in the database.

Ray tracing hardware differs significantly. The Radeon PRO W7700 has 48 ray accelerators, while the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has just 1. This difference indicates that the AMD card can handle ray-traced workloads with meaningful parallelism, whereas the Intel part has only minimal hardware support. Neither has tensor cores listed, so AI acceleration relies on the general-purpose shader units.

Memory architecture is another major division. The AMD card uses 16 GB of GDDR6 with a 256-bit bus and a memory clock of 2250 MHz, which translates to 18 Gbps effective. The Intel part uses system shared memory with a type of system shared, a bus width of system shared, and bandwidth that is system dependent. This means the Intel GPU has no dedicated VRAM and its performance scales with the host system's memory configuration.

The clock speeds also differ. The Radeon PRO W7700 has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2300 MHz. While the boost clocks are relatively close, the base clock difference is substantial, and the AMD card's many more execution units amplify the clock advantage.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Radeon PRO W7700 and the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile. The Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores at all, so no direct comparison can be made from measured results.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 does have recorded benchmarks. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 108,245. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 129,706. These two results produce an average benchmark score of 118,976. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of 0, which reflects the absence of any recorded benchmark submissions.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon PRO W7700 provide context for its performance level. The NVIDIA GB10 has an average score of 117,393, which is 1.3% lower. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation scores 117,088, which is 1.6% lower. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114,395, which is 4% lower.
