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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Radeon RX 7600S has a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded in the database at all. This means the head-to-head comparison is defined entirely by the AMD part's performance profile, with the Intel part serving as a reference point for what a low-power integrated solution offers.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S delivers an average benchmark score of 16,696 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA T400 4 GB with an average score of 16,792 (a 0.6% advantage for the T400), the NVIDIA T400 with 16,508 (1.1% behind the RX 7600S), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 16,504 (1.2% behind), and the NVIDIA Tesla M4 with 16,932 (1.4% ahead). These narrow deltas place the RX 7600S in a tightly contested performance tier among discrete workstation and mobile GPUs.

The RX 7600S's percentile ranking of 60 against all GPUs in the database indicates that it outperforms roughly three-fifths of recorded graphics hardware. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile, by contrast, carries a 50th percentile ranking but has no average benchmark score recorded, meaning its ranking is based on architectural positioning rather than measured results.

In individual tests, the RX 7600S shows its strongest showing in Geekbench Vulkan with a score of 73,868, followed by Geekbench OpenCL at 68,012. The Passmark G3D score of 15,408 and Passmark GPU Compute score of 6,520 round out the compute-heavy results. Legacy DirectX tests produce lower scores: Passmark DirectX 9 at 211, DirectX 11 at 140, DirectX 10 at 74, and DirectX 12 at 65. The Passmark G2D score of 776 reflects 2D rasterization performance.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile, with no recorded benchmarks, cannot be directly compared on a test-by-test basis. The database shows zero wins for each part in the head-to-head section, which is consistent with the absence of matching benchmark data for the Intel solution.

The Verdict

From the available data, the AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the only part with measurable performance in the database. Its 60th percentile ranking, 16,696 average score, and consistent results across DirectX 12, Vulkan, and compute workloads make it a functional discrete mobile GPU. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile, despite its active production status and 50th percentile placement, has no recorded benchmark scores to substantiate its positioning.

The RX 7600S's narrow margins against its nearest rivals are telling. It sits within 1.4% of the NVIDIA Tesla M4, 0.6% of the NVIDIA T400 4 GB, and 1.2% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2. These are minimal deltas, indicating that the RX 7600S competes in a dense performance band where small architectural differences determine ordering.

For users selecting between these two specific parts, the data supports the AMD Radeon RX 7600S as the measured performer. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile lacks any recorded benchmark evidence in the database, so its capabilities cannot be quantified here. The RX 7600S's 75 W TDP versus the Intel part's 25 W TDP suggests different design targets, but without Intel benchmark data, any performance comparison remains speculative.

The RX 7600S's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, provides a concrete foundation for its measured scores. The Intel part's system-shared memory, with system-dependent bandwidth, cannot be evaluated from the recorded data.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename "Hotpink Bonefish" and a generation designation of Navi Mobile (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 square millimeter.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip based on Xe3-LPG architecture, in the Arc Graphics-M (Wildcat Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown in the database.

Clock behavior differs sharply. The RX 7600S runs at a 1500 MHz base clock, a 1865 MHz game clock, and a 2200 MHz boost clock, with memory clocked at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The Intel part has a 300 MHz base clock and a 2500 MHz boost clock, with no game clock listed and system-shared memory.

Compute resources are heavily skewed toward AMD. The RX 7600S has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and 2 ray tracing cores.

Rates reflect this disparity. The RX 7600S achieves 140.8 GPixel/s pixel rate, 246.4 GTexel/s texture rate, 15.77 TFLOPS FP32, and 31.54 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The Intel part delivers 20.00 GPixel/s, 40.00 GTexel/s, 1,280.0 GFLOPS FP32, and 2.560 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1).

Power envelopes diverge substantially: 75 W for the RX 7600S versus 25 W for the Intel part. Both use an IGP slot width with no power connectors. The RX 7600S connects via PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel part uses an IGP bus interface.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600S has a 2023-01-03 release date and lists Polaris Mobile as its predecessor. The Intel part has a 2026-04-15 release date and lists HD Graphics-M as its predecessor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S wins on every measurable performance dimension in the database. Its recorded scores span compute, graphics, and legacy APIs: 73,868 in Geekbench Vulkan, 68,012 in Geekbench OpenCL, 15,408 in Passmark G3D, and 6,520 in Passmark GPU Compute. The 60th percentile ranking against all GPUs confirms that it sits above the median hardware population.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile wins on power efficiency and process technology. Its 25 W TDP is one-third of the RX 7600S's 75 W rating, and it uses a 3 nm Intel process versus the 6 nm TSMC node used by AMD. Its 2500 MHz boost clock exceeds the RX 7600S's 2200 MHz boost, though with far fewer compute units to feed.

The RX 7600S's 8 GB dedicated GDDR6 memory provides a fixed 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is advantageous for consistent performance in memory-bound workloads. The Intel part's system-shared memory has no fixed bandwidth figure, making its memory performance dependent on the host system.

In raw throughput, the RX 7600S leads in pixel rate (140.8 GPixel/s versus 20.00 GPixel/s), texture rate (246.4 GTexel/s versus 40.00 GTexel/s), and FP32 compute (15.77 TFLOPS versus 1,280.0 GFLOPS). These ratios indicate a roughly 12-fold advantage in shading throughput, a 12.3-fold advantage in texture filtering, and a 7-fold advantage in pixel output.

The Intel part's 50th percentile ranking, despite no recorded benchmarks, suggests the database places it at the median of all GPUs based on its architectural parameters. However, without measured scores, its actual performance cannot be verified from the data.

For users prioritizing measured performance, the RX 7600S is the only part with evidence in the database. For users prioritizing low power consumption and the latest process node, the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile presents a compelling specification sheet, but its real-world results remain unquantified in the recorded data.
