Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi Mobile generation (RX 7000M). It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, containing 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown in the database. The RX 7600S employs a 128-bit memory bus paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part uses System Shared memory with System Dependent bandwidth, meaning it draws from the host system's memory pool. The AMD GPU has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel GPU has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 ray tracing core. Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel GPU uses an integrated IGP bus interface. Both are listed as IGP slot width with portable device dependent display outputs.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S wins across every benchmark category where data exists. The recorded benchmark suite shows the RX 7600S achieving a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1888, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 68012, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 73868. Passmark results show DirectX 10 at 74, DirectX 11 at 140, DirectX 12 at 65, DirectX 9 at 211, G2D at 776, G3D at 15408, and GPU compute at 6520. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has zero recorded benchmark scores in the database, so it cannot be credited with any wins. The data indicates the RX 7600S is suited for discrete GPU workloads such as gaming and compute tasks, while the Intel part, with its 25 W TDP and integrated nature, occupies the low-power integrated segment. The RX 7600S has a 75 W TDP, which is three times the Intel part's 25 W TDP, reflecting its higher performance ceiling. The Intel part's 300 MHz base clock and 2300 MHz boost clock contrast with the RX 7600S's 1500 MHz base, 2200 MHz boost, and 1865 MHz game clock.
