AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile. The head-to-head test array is empty, and neither part has a wins tally assigned. This absence of paired measurements means the comparison must rely on the individual benchmark scores available for the AMD part and the architectural parameters recorded for both.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT has a complete benchmark profile. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2048. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 74869, while the Geekbench Vulkan score is 27793. Passmark results include DirectX 10 at 76, DirectX 11 at 137, DirectX 12 at 58, DirectX 9 at 175, G2D at 894, G3D at 13907, and GPU compute at 7140. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 12710. This part sits at the 52nd percentile against all GPUs in the database.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all GPUs is 50. With no measured results, the data cannot support a numeric comparison for any single workload. The AMD part’s scores stand alone, and the Intel part’s position is defined only by its percentile placement, which is within 2 percentile points of the AMD part despite the absence of direct measurements.

Because the Intel part lacks benchmark data, the head-to-head section cannot show wins in either direction with exact numbers. The only quantitative benchmark evidence comes from the AMD side. Its Passmark G3D score of 13907 indicates a mid-range discrete mobile GPU. The Passmark GPU compute score of 7140 reflects general compute throughput. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 74869 is substantially higher than the Vulkan score of 27793, suggesting that the OpenCL driver path delivers stronger measured performance in that synthetic workload for this AMD GPU.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT provide context. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 has an average score of 12773, which is 0.5% higher than the AMD part’s 12710. The NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm averages 12625, putting the AMD part 0.7% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 averages 12830, placing the AMD part 0.9% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro 455 averages 12831, also 0.9% behind the RX 7600M XT. These deltas are small, within a single percentage point in either direction, indicating the RX 7600M XT sits in a tightly clustered performance band among these older discrete GPUs.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no nearest rivals listed. Its 50th percentile placement is the only comparative signal available. That percentile is close to the AMD part’s 52nd percentile, but without scores, the practical meaning remains limited to a broad ranking position rather than a measured performance delta.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs differ fundamentally in design targets. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the Navi 33 chip built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi Mobile generation within the RX 7000M series. The process node is 6 nm at TSMC. The die contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² area, giving a transistor density of 65.2M per mm².

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip built on the Xe3-LPG architecture. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation under the Wildcat Lake name. The process node is 3 nm at Intel’s own foundry. Transistor count and die size are recorded as unknown, and no transistor density figure exists. This means the Intel part’s physical implementation cannot be quantified from the database.

The AMD part has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. It includes 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, with 2 ray tracing cores. The AMD part therefore holds an 8x advantage in shading units, an 8x advantage in TMUs, an 8x advantage in ROPs, and a 16x advantage in ray tracing cores. These ratios indicate a much larger execution engine on the AMD side.

Clock behavior differs sharply. The AMD part has a base clock of 1280 MHz, a boost clock of 2469 MHz, and a game clock of 2023 MHz. The memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective data rate.

Where Each One Wins

The data supports distinct strengths for each part, though the Intel part’s lack of benchmark scores limits the analysis to architectural fields.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins on raw compute throughput. Its FP32 figure of 20.23 TFLOPS versus the Intel part’s 1,280.0 GFLOPS gives it a roughly 15.8x advantage in general compute workloads. Its FP16 figure of 40.45 TFLOPS versus 2.560 TFLOPS provides the same ratio for workloads leveraging half-precision math. The shading unit count of 2048 versus 256, the TMU count of 128 versus 16, and the ROP count of 64 versus 8 all point to a much wider execution width. The 32 ray tracing cores versus 2 indicate stronger ray traced rendering capability.

The AMD part also wins on memory bandwidth. The 288.0 GB/s from 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus is a fixed, dedicated figure. The Intel part’s system shared memory has no fixed bandwidth, so any comparison depends on the host system’s memory configuration. In scenarios where dedicated VRAM matters, the AMD part has a clear structural advantage.

The AMD part’s pixel rate of 158.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 316.0 GTexel/s are 7.9x higher than the Intel part’s 20.00 GPixel/s and 40.00 GTexel/s. This indicates faster fill-rate bound rendering and texture-heavy workloads.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile wins on power efficiency. Its TDP of 25 W is 95 W lower than the AMD part’s 120 W. In thermally constrained portable devices, the lower power envelope allows integration into thin chassis where a 120 W GPU would not fit. The Intel part’s boost clock of 2500 MHz is also 31 MHz higher than the AMD part’s 2469 MHz, though the AMD part’s base clock of 1280 MHz is far higher than the Intel base of 300 MHz.

The Intel part wins on process node. Its 3 nm Intel process is smaller than the AMD part’s 6 nm TSMC process. The database records no transistor count or die size for the Intel part, so the density advantage cannot be quantified, but the smaller node indicates a more recent manufacturing technology.

The Intel part also wins on release recency. Its release date of 2026-04-15 is later than the AMD part’s 2023-01-03. This suggests newer design elements in the Xe3-LPG architecture.

For benchmark-driven use cases, the AMD part is the only one with measured results. Its average score of 12710 places it at the 52nd percentile. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670, scores 12773, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD part is 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm at 12625, and 0.9% behind both the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 at 12830 and the AMD Radeon Pro 455 at 12831. These small deltas indicate the RX 7600M XT sits within a tight competitive cluster for its average score.

The Intel part’s 50th percentile placement, despite having no recorded scores, suggests it is ranked near the middle of all GPUs in the database. However, without measured benchmarks, the practical interpretation is limited to that percentile position alone.

In summary, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins on compute throughput, memory bandwidth, fill rates, and ray tracing resources. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile wins on power consumption, process node, and release date recency. The AMD part has benchmark evidence; the Intel part does not.
