AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a discrete desktop graphics card built for sustained, high-throughput rendering. The recorded data shows it delivers a full suite of DirectX and OpenCL benchmark scores, with an average benchmark score of 15,171 across all recorded tests. Its percentile versus all GPUs sits at 57, placing it above the midpoint of the database’s GPU population. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile, by contrast, is an integrated GPU (IGP) with no recorded benchmark entries, an average benchmark score of 0, and a percentile of 50. The database contains zero head-to-head benchmark results between them, so the comparison rests on architectural specifications and the available score distributions.

The RX 7600 wins in every measurable performance category because it has a dedicated memory subsystem, a much larger shader array, and far higher clock targets. Its wins are absolute across all theoretical throughput metrics: pixel rate, texture rate, FP32, and FP16. The Arc 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded wins in any benchmark, as its benchmark array is empty. The use-case split is therefore clean: the RX 7600 is for desktop gaming and compute workloads where performance per frame matters; the Arc 4 Xe Mobile is for portable, low-power devices where the GPU shares system memory and must operate within an integrated thermal envelope.

The nearest rivals for the RX 7600 confirm its positioning. Its average score of 15,171 sits nearly even with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (15,199, a delta of -0.2%), slightly above the AMD Radeon Pro 560X (15,082, a delta of 0.6%), and below the AMD Radeon 680M (15,270, a delta of -0.7%). The RX 7600 also edges the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (15,063, a delta of 0.7%). These deltas show that the RX 7600 occupies a tight performance band around these four rivals, with no single competitor leading by more than 0.7%. The Arc 4 Xe Mobile has no nearest rivals listed, so its relative standing within the database cannot be quantified beyond its 50th percentile placement.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and entirely different design philosophies. The RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip, built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile uses the Panther Lake chip, built on Xe3-LPG architecture, and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown.

The RX 7600 has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Arc 4 Xe Mobile has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 ray tracing cores. That is a 4:1 ratio in shading units, TMUs, and ray tracing cores, and a 4:1 ratio in ROPs as well. The Intel part offers FP16 at 4.710 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio to FP32, meaning it processes half-precision at twice the rate of single-precision. The RX 7600 delivers FP16 at 21.75 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, meaning it does not accelerate half-precision separately.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600 has a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, while the Arc 4 Xe Mobile uses an integrated IGP interface with no external bus. The RX 7600 has a dual-slot cooler, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 450 W. The Arc 4 Xe Mobile has no slot width beyond IGP, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. Memory differs fundamentally: the RX 7600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth; the Arc 4 Xe Mobile uses system shared memory, with bus width and bandwidth listed as system dependent.

Release timing also separates them. The RX 7600 launched on 2023-05-24, while the Arc 4 Xe Mobile launched on 2026-01-26. The RX 7600 has a predecessor (Navi II) and a successor (Navi IV); the Arc 4 Xe Mobile lists neither. Production status is active for both.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database reports no head-to-head benchmark entries between the RX 7600 and the Arc 4 Xe Mobile. That absence means no direct score comparison exists. However, the RX 7600’s individual benchmark results provide a quantitative picture of its capabilities. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2,310. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 88,051. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 34,401. PassMark results span DirectX 9 (226), DirectX 10 (84), DirectX 11 (172), DirectX 12 (58), G2D (984), G3D (16,634), and GPU compute (8,790).

The Arc 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded scores in any of these tests. Its theoretical throughput figures, however, allow an indirect comparison. The RX 7600’s FP32 of 21.75 TFLOPS is roughly 9.2 times the Arc 4 Xe Mobile’s 2.355 TFLOPS. The RX 7600’s texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s is approximately 4.6 times the Arc 4 Xe Mobile’s 73.60 GTexel/s. The RX 7600’s pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s is approximately 4.6 times the Arc 4 Xe Mobile’s 36.80 GPixel/s. These ratios come directly from the recorded clock and unit counts, not from any measured benchmark.

The nearest rival deltas for the RX 7600 place its average score within a narrow band. The largest positive delta is 0.7% over the GTX 660 Ti, and the largest negative delta is -0.7% against the Radeon 680M. The RX 7600 trails the RTX 3050 OEM by 0.2% and leads the Radeon Pro 560X by 0.6%. These numbers indicate that the RX 7600’s average performance is effectively indistinguishable from all four rivals, with differences smaller than one percent. No rival leads or trails by a meaningful margin.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear division of purpose. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a full-size discrete card with dedicated GDDR6 memory, a 165 W TDP, and a 269 USD launch MSRP. It delivers an average benchmark score of 15,171 and sits at the 57th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals all fall within a 0.7% performance band, confirming that it performs on par with the RTX 3050 OEM, Radeon Pro 560X, Radeon 680M, and GTX 660 Ti. Users who need a desktop GPU for DirectX 12 gaming, OpenCL compute, or Vulkan workloads will find the RX 7600’s recorded scores in 3DMark Steel Nomad (2,310), Geekbench OpenCL (88,051), and PassMark G3D (16,634) to be substantial.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is an integrated GPU with a 25 W TDP, no power connectors, no dedicated memory, and no recorded benchmarks. Its 50th percentile placement comes without any measured scores, so its relative performance cannot be verified from the database. Its theoretical maxima, 2.355 TFLOPS FP32 and 73.60 GTexel/s, place it in a far lower performance class than the RX 7600. It is built for portable devices where power draw and space are constrained, not for high-end rendering.

The verdict follows directly from the specification and score data. Choose the RX 7600 for desktop systems requiring discrete graphics performance, dedicated memory bandwidth, and a broad API feature set. Choose the Arc 4 Xe Mobile for integrated, low-power mobile platforms where the GPU shares system memory and operates without external power. The RX 7600 leads in every recorded performance metric; the Arc 4 Xe Mobile leads only in power efficiency and process node, with its 3 nm Intel fabrication versus the RX 7600’s 6 nm TSMC process.
