The Verdict

The data presents a stark performance hierarchy. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is a dedicated, high-power discrete graphics card designed for demanding workloads. Its 200 W TDP, 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 throughput place it in a completely different performance class than the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile.

The Intel part, by contrast, is an integrated GPU with a 25 W TDP, system-shared memory, and 2.355 TFLOPS. It targets mobile platforms where power efficiency and physical integration take priority over raw performance. The 512 shading units versus 2560, the 32 TMUs versus 160, and the 16 ROPs versus 96 all confirm this positioning.

For users needing to run modern games or compute-heavy applications, the Radeon RX 7700 is the only viable option between these two. The benchmark results in the database show the RX 7700 averaging 15852 points, while the Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmarks, indicating it is either too new or too limited for the same testing suite.

For thin-and-light laptops or low-power embedded systems, the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile provides a baseline graphics solution. Its 4 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support offer feature parity with the RX 7700, but the execution resources are dramatically smaller.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmarks between these two GPUs are not available in the database. However, the recorded individual benchmarks for the Radeon RX 7700 provide a clear picture of its capability relative to the broader GPU landscape.

In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RX 7700 scores 2865 points. In Geekbench OpenCL, it reaches 106028 points. PassMark results show 20974 in G3D, 10963 in GPU Compute, 1206 in G2D, and API-specific scores of 261 in DirectX 9, 186 in DirectX 11, 96 in DirectX 12, and 92 in DirectX 10.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no benchmark entries, which means the database cannot quantify its performance in any of these tests. The closest comparison comes from the RX 7700's percentile ranking and its nearest rivals. The RX 7700 sits at the 58th percentile, with its nearest rival being the AMD Radeon R9 370X at a 0.1% lower average score. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is 1% higher, the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 is 1.1% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is 1.7% higher.

These tight margins around the 15852 average score indicate that the RX 7700 is positioned in a competitive mid-range segment. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile, with no scores, cannot be placed on this scale.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. The Radeon RX 7700 has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. This is a 5x difference in shading units, a 5x difference in TMUs, and a 6x difference in ROPs.

Ray tracing cores follow the same pattern: 40 on the AMD card versus 4 on the Intel part. Neither GPU has tensor cores listed.

Clock speeds differ significantly in base frequency but not in boost. The RX 7700 runs at 1900 MHz base and 2459 MHz boost, with a game clock of 2041 MHz. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile runs at 300 MHz base and 2300 MHz boost. The memory clock on the AMD card is 2438 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective), while the Intel part uses system-shared memory.

The process nodes differ: 5 nm for AMD versus 3 nm for Intel. The RX 7700 uses a 346 mm² die with 28,100 million transistors, while the Intel part's die size and transistor count are unknown. The RX 7700 has a transistor density of 81.2M per mm².

Power delivery differs completely. The RX 7700 requires a 200 W TDP, dual-slot cooling, 2x 8-pin power connectors, and a 550 W suggested PSU. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile uses 25 W, is an IGP with no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU.

The RX 7700 uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface and measures 267 mm in length, 135 mm in height, and 50 mm in width. The Intel part uses an IGP bus interface with no dimensions listed.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two GPUs reflects their fundamentally different design goals. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on the Navi 32 chip, part of the Radeon RX 7000 series under the codename Wheat Nas. It belongs to the Navi III generation. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile uses the Xe3-LPG architecture on the Panther Lake chip, belonging to the Arc Graphics-M generation.

The process technology differs in both node and foundry. AMD uses TSMC's 5 nm process, while Intel uses its own 3 nm process. This gives the Intel part a node advantage in density potential, but the AMD card's much larger die (346 mm² versus unknown) allows for far more execution resources.

Memory architecture is a critical differentiator. The RX 7700 has dedicated 16 GB GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile relies entirely on system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. This means the Intel GPU's performance will vary based on the host system's memory configuration, while the AMD card's memory performance is fixed and guaranteed.

FP16 throughput reveals a different ratio. The RX 7700 delivers 25.18 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile delivers 4.710 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, meaning its FP16 rate is double its FP32 rate.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature levels are identical. Display outputs differ: the RX 7700 has 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C, while the Intel part's display outputs are listed as Portable Device Dependent.

The production status for both is Active. The RX 7700 was released on 2025-09-17 and has a predecessor in Navi II and a successor in Navi IV. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile was released on 2026-01-26 with no predecessor or successor listed. The RX 7700 has no launch MSRP recorded, and neither does the Intel part.
