AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two products into completely different segments. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a discrete desktop graphics card with a full benchmark suite recorded in the database. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated GPU inside a processor, and the database contains no benchmark scores for it at all. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals listed.

For the AMD card, the benchmark results show a strong overall performer. Its average benchmark score is 22,549, placing it at the 67th percentile across all GPUs in the database. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile by default, a placeholder value rather than a measured result, since no tests exist for it.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT wins every category by default simply because it has measurable data. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no wins recorded in any benchmark category. In use-case terms, the AMD card is for desktop gaming and compute workloads where a dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 card with 12 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory can operate. The Intel part is for portable devices where the GPU shares system memory and draws power from the host processor rather than its own connectors.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, so there are no direct paired results between the two products. The comparison must rely on the AMD card's individual scores and the absence of any Intel scores.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT delivers 35.17 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and the same 35.17 TFLOPS in FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile delivers 588.8 GFLOPS of FP32 and 1,177.6 GFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The AMD card is roughly 60 times higher in FP32 throughput based on these recorded figures, a gap that reflects the difference between a 245 W discrete card and a 25 W integrated solution.

In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the AMD card scores 3,316. In Geekbench OpenCL it scores 138,383, and in Geekbench Vulkan it scores 46,443. The Passmark suite shows a G3D score of 22,547, a GPU compute score of 12,912, and G2D score of 1,161. The DirectX legacy tests show 294 in DX9, 232 in DX11, 119 in DX10, and 79 in DX12. Each of these has no counterpart for the Intel part.

The pixel rate for the AMD card is 244.2 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 549.5 GTexel/s. The Intel part records 9.200 GPixel/s and 18.40 GTexel/s. These are the largest measurable gaps in the specification data, representing a 26-fold difference in pixel throughput and a roughly 30-fold difference in texture throughput.

The AMD card's nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow band. The RTX 5060 Mobile is 0.5% slower, the RTX 4060 Mobile is 0.8% faster, the RTX 2080 is 1.5% faster, and the RX 5700 is 1.7% slower. This places the RX 7700 XT in a competitive cluster where no single rival dominates by more than 1.7%. The Intel part has no such comparison group.

Specification Differences

The two products differ in nearly every measurable hardware field. Process node: AMD uses 5 nm from TSMC, Intel uses 3 nm from Intel. The AMD chip is Navi 32 with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The Intel chip is Wildcat Lake with unknown transistor count, unknown die size, and no density figure.

Clock speeds: the AMD card has a 1435 MHz base, 2171 MHz game clock, and 2544 MHz boost. The Intel part has a 300 MHz base and 2300 MHz boost, with no game clock listed. Memory clocks: AMD runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while Intel uses system shared memory with no dedicated clock.

Memory configuration: AMD has 12 GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s. Intel has system shared memory, a system shared bus width, and system dependent bandwidth. The AMD card is dual-slot, 267 mm long, 135 mm tall, and 50 mm wide. The Intel part is an IGP with no dimensions listed.

Power: AMD draws 245 W, uses 2x 8-pin connectors, and needs a 550 W PSU. Intel draws 25 W, uses no connectors, and lists no PSU requirement. Bus interface: AMD uses PCIe 4.0 x16, Intel uses IGP. Display outputs: AMD has 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C. Intel outputs are portable device dependent.

The AMD card has a launch MSRP of 449 USD. The Intel part has no launch price recorded.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT uses RDNA 3.0 architecture on the Navi 32 chip, part of the Radeon RX 7000 series and the Navi III generation. Its codename is Wheat Nas, and its predecessor is Navi II with Navi IV as the successor. It has 54 ray tracing cores, 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The FP16 to FP32 ratio is 1:1, meaning both formats execute at the same throughput.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses Xe3-LPG architecture on the Wildcat Lake chip, part of the Arc Graphics-M generation. It has 1 ray tracing core, 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. Its FP16 to FP32 ratio is 2:1, meaning FP16 executes at twice the FP32 rate. Its predecessor is HD Graphics-M, and it has no successor listed.

The AMD card is built on a 5 nm TSMC process and is a monolithic discrete GPU with its own memory subsystem. The Intel part is built on Intel's 3 nm process and is integrated into a processor package, sharing system memory. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so feature-level API compatibility is equal.

The transistor counts tell a clear story. AMD packs 28,100 million transistors into the Navi 32 die. Intel's transistor count is unknown, but the 128 shading units and system shared memory indicate a far smaller implementation. The AMD card also has a dedicated 192-bit memory bus, while Intel relies on the host system's memory bandwidth.

Release timing also differs. The AMD card was released on 2023-09-05. The Intel part is dated 2026-04-15, making it a later product by roughly two and a half years.

The Verdict

The data supports only one practical conclusion: these are not competing products. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a discrete desktop GPU with a measured average benchmark score of 22,549, a 67th percentile rank, and a full suite of results across multiple test suites. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated GPU with no benchmark scores, no rivals, and a 50th percentile placeholder.

For desktop gaming, the AMD card sits within 1.7% of four well-known rivals in the database, meaning it trades blows with the RTX 5060 Mobile, RTX 4060 Mobile, RTX 2080, and RX 5700. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are appropriate for modern titles at high settings. Its 245 W TDP and 550 W PSU requirement are typical for a dual-slot card of this class.

For portable devices, the Intel part offers 25 W operation, no power connectors, and system shared memory. It is limited to 128 shading units and 4 ROPs, making it suitable for basic graphics output rather than high-end gaming. The 2:1 FP16 ratio suggests some compute flexibility, but the FP32 throughput of 588.8 GFLOPS is a small fraction of the AMD card's 35.17 TFLOPS.

The database shows the AMD card with a launch MSRP of 449 USD. The Intel part has no recorded price, consistent with its role as a processor-integrated component. Anyone building a desktop PC with a dedicated GPU slot should use the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT. Anyone selecting a laptop or compact portable system will have the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile included in the processor and should treat it as an entry-level graphics solution. The performance gap is not close, and the use cases do not overlap.
