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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no overlapping benchmark scores between the AMD Radeon RX 7600S and the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile. The AMD part has ten benchmark entries, while the Intel part has zero recorded results. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible, but the available figures still allow for a meaningful analysis of what each component delivers.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1888. In Geekbench, it reaches 68012 in OpenCL and 73868 in Vulkan. Passmark results show a G3D score of 15408, a GPU compute score of 6520, and older DirectX tests at 211 for DX9, 140 for DX11, 74 for DX10, and 65 for DX12. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 16696, placing it at the 60th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, though this percentile is based on incomplete data. The absence of any benchmark entries means the database cannot confirm its real-world performance. The AMD part, by contrast, has a fully populated benchmark suite, and its nearest rivals provide context: the NVIDIA T400 4 GB scores 16792 (0.6% higher), the NVIDIA T400 scores 16508 (1.1% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 scores 16504 (1.2% lower), and the NVIDIA Tesla M4 scores 16932 (1.4% higher). The RX 7600S sits within a narrow band of these competitors, trailing the fastest by only 1.4% and leading the slowest by 1.2%.

The Intel part's lack of benchmarks is a decisive factor. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S delivers measurable results across every test category, while the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile offers no verifiable performance data. In any head-to-head comparison, the component with recorded scores holds the advantage because it can be evaluated, whereas the other cannot.

The memory architecture also diverges. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S has dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, with memory clocked at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile relies entirely on system-shared memory, with bus width and bandwidth listed as system-dependent.

Clock behavior differs as well. The AMD part has a base clock of 1500 MHz, a boost clock of 2200 MHz, and a game clock of 1865 MHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2300 MHz, with no game clock listed. The AMD GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel GPU uses an integrated graphics processor (IGP) bus interface. Both are IGP slot width with no power connectors, and both have portable-device-dependent display outputs.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every recorded specification. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S uses the Navi 33 chip on RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile uses the Panther Lake chip on Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm Intel process.

The AMD part has a predecessor (Polaris Mobile) while Intel has none listed. Neither has a successor listed, and neither has a launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S wins in every category where data exists. It has recorded benchmark scores across ten tests, including a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1888, Geekbench OpenCL of 68012, Geekbench Vulkan of 73868, Passmark G3D of 15408, and Passmark GPU compute of 6520. Its average benchmark score is 16696, placing it at the 60th percentile. It also holds the advantage in raw compute specifications: higher shading unit count, higher texture and pixel rates, higher FP32 and FP16 throughput, and dedicated memory with fixed bandwidth.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile wins in power efficiency and process node. Its TDP of 25 W is one-third that of the AMD part's 75 W. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process versus 6 nm, which typically indicates newer manufacturing technology. It also has a higher boost clock at 2300 MHz versus 2200 MHz, though its base clock is much lower at 300 MHz versus 1500 MHz. The Intel part's system-shared memory model can be advantageous in unified memory architectures, but no benchmark data confirms its performance.

For use cases that demand verifiable performance, the AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the only option with measured results. For low-power integrated graphics scenarios where 25 W is the constraint, the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has the specification advantage, but its real-world capability remains unquantified in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear conclusion: the AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the only one of the two with measurable benchmark performance. Its average score of 16696 places it at the 60th percentile, and its nearest rivals in the database show it performing within a tight band of 1.4% above or below comparable NVIDIA parts. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no benchmark entries, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking that reflects missing data rather than verified performance.

The AMD part delivers a fully specified compute package: 1792 shading units, 15.77 TFLOPS FP32, 8 GB GDDR6 with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, and a 75 W TDP. The Intel part offers half the shading units at 512, roughly one-seventh the FP32 throughput at 2.355 TFLOPS, system-shared memory, and a 25 W TDP. The Intel GPU does have a newer 3 nm process and a higher boost clock, but without benchmark scores, these specifications cannot be translated into measured performance.

The verdict from the data: the AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the superior choice for any workload requiring confirmed graphics performance. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is the lower-power option, but its lack of recorded results means it cannot be recommended based on evidence. Users who need a functioning GPU with known capabilities should select the AMD part. Users who prioritize the lowest power draw and are willing to accept unverified performance may consider the Intel part, but the database provides no support for its performance claims.
