AMD Radeon PRO W7900 vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data presents an extreme asymmetry between these two graphics solutions. The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is a workstation flagship with recorded benchmark scores and a 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. The Intel part is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) designed for portable devices, while the AMD part is a triple-slot, 280 mm discrete card.

In terms of use-case split, the Radeon PRO W7900 dominates every measurable category. It holds wins in raw compute, memory bandwidth, pixel throughput, texture throughput, and ray tracing hardware. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no benchmark entries in the database, so it cannot claim a single recorded win in any workload. The only areas where the Intel part could be said to "win" are physical integration and power envelope: it is an IGP with a 25 W TDP, requires no power connectors, and has no physical dimensions listed, meaning it is designed to be soldered into a mobile platform. The AMD card requires a 600 W suggested PSU and uses two 8-pin connectors.

The use-case split is therefore clear. The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is for compute-intensive workstation tasks where a discrete card with 48 GB of dedicated memory and 864.0 GB/s of bandwidth is required. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is for lightweight integrated graphics in portable systems where dedicated graphics are not present. The database shows zero overlap in recorded performance data between the two.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between the two parts is substantial. The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 uses the Navi 31 chip on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Plum Bonito, and belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC and contains 57,700 million transistors on a 529 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 109.1M per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip on the Xe3-LPG architecture and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Wildcat Lake) generation. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown.

The compute resources differ by orders of magnitude. The AMD part has 6,144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, 192 raster operation units, and 96 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 ray tracing core. Neither part has tensor cores listed in the data.

Clock behavior also differs. The AMD card has a base clock of 1760 MHz and a boost clock of 2495 MHz, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The Intel IGP has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2300 MHz. The memory subsystem is fundamentally different: the AMD card uses 48 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus with 864.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel IGP uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

Process and foundry differences are notable. AMD uses a 5 nm TSMC process, while Intel uses a 3 nm process at its own foundry. The transistor density figure favors AMD at 109.1M per mm², but the Intel die size is unknown, so a direct density comparison cannot be made from the data.

The API support is identical: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. This is where the architectural comparison ends, as the feature sets diverge completely on physical design, power delivery, and memory configuration.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 and the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile. The wins counter shows zero for both sides, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. However, the AMD card has its own recorded benchmark scores, while the Intel part has none.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 scores 84,379 in Geekbench OpenCL and 137,070 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its average benchmark score is 110,725. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has an average benchmark score of 0 and no recorded entries in any test. The percentile ranking reflects this: the AMD card sits at the 94th percentile among all GPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile. A 50th percentile with zero recorded scores indicates that the database places it at the median by default, not by measured performance.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 provide context for its standing. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega II averages 109,617, which is 1% below the W7900's average. The NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile averages 113,944, which is 2.8% above the W7900. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600X averages 107,342, which is 3.2% below. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB averages 114,395, which is 3.2% above. These deltas show that the W7900 sits in a tight competitive band among workstation and mobile professional GPUs, within roughly 3% of its nearest rivals in either direction.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no nearest rivals listed in the database. With no benchmark data, there is no recorded basis for comparison against any other GPU.

In practical terms, the AMD card's 61.32 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 958.1 GTexel/s texture rate stand against the Intel part's 588.8 GFLOPS and 18.40 GTexel/s. The FP32 ratio is approximately 104:1 in favor of AMD, though the exact figure is not stated in the data. Pixel rate is 479.0 GPixel/s for AMD versus 9.200 GPixel/s for Intel, a ratio of approximately 52:1.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one conclusion for performance-oriented workloads. The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is a high-end workstation card with a 94th percentile ranking, an average benchmark score of 110,725, and dedicated memory totaling 48 GB on a 384-bit bus. It is designed for tasks that require sustained compute throughput, and its nearest rivals in the database are all within roughly 3% of its average score, confirming it sits in the upper tier of professional GPUs.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated processor with 128 shading units, 25 W TDP, and system shared memory. It has no recorded benchmarks and no nearest rivals. Its role is limited to portable devices where a discrete card cannot be installed. The data does not support any scenario where it outperforms the AMD card in a measurable workload, because no measurements exist for it.

For a user requiring a discrete workstation GPU with 48 GB of memory and recorded Geekbench scores of 84,379 in OpenCL and 137,070 in Vulkan, the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is the only part in this comparison with any data to support its selection. For a user requiring integrated graphics in a mobile platform with minimal power draw, the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is the only part that fits that physical and electrical profile. The choice is dictated entirely by form factor and workload requirements, not by any measured performance comparison, because none exists in the database.
