AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT vs Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT shows a desktop-class discrete GPU with substantial benchmark presence, while the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes direct numerical comparison impossible for most tests. The AMD card delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4157, a Geekbench OpenCL result of 18290, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 54228. Its Passmark suite results include 24176 in G3D, 13473 in GPU Compute, 1177 in G2D, 304 in DirectX 9, 249 in DirectX 11, 121 in DirectX 10, and 93 in DirectX 12. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests for the RX 7800 XT is 11627.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile, by contrast, has an empty benchmark array and an average benchmark score of 0. The database shows no wins for either product in head-to-head testing, as no comparative benchmarks exist. The percentile placement differs slightly: the RX 7800 XT sits at the 51st percentile among all GPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile. That percentile gap is minimal, but the underlying score disparity is not. The RX 7800 XT's nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 with an average score of 11680 and a delta of -0.5%, the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M at 11528 with a delta of 0.9%, the NVIDIA Tesla K20c at 11479 with a delta of 1.3%, and the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT at 11842 with a delta of -1.8%. These deltas indicate the RX 7800 XT is essentially clustered with those cards in aggregate scoring, despite its much higher theoretical specifications. The RX 7800 XT is 0.9% ahead of the Radeon Pro 5500M and 1.3% ahead of the Tesla K20c, while trailing the GTX 1660 by 0.5% and the RX 6500 XT by 1.8%.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no nearest rivals listed, which reflects the absence of recorded measurements. The data confirms that the AMD card is the only one of the two with a usable benchmark profile. The RX 7800 XT's FP32 compute rating of 37.32 TFLOPS and texture rate of 583.2 GTexel/s stand far above the Intel mobile part's 2.355 TFLOPS and 73.60 GTexel/s. The pixel rate comparison shows 233.3 GPixel/s for the AMD card versus 36.80 GPixel/s for the Intel part. These are specification-level differences, not measured scores, but they align with the absence of any Intel benchmark data. The RX 7800 XT delivers a 16 GB GDDR6 memory subsystem with a 256 bit bus and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. The AMD card's boost clock reaches 2430 MHz with a game clock of 2124 MHz and base clock of 1295 MHz; the Intel part boosts to 2300 MHz but idles at a 300 MHz base. The AMD card's memory clock is 2438 MHz or 19.5 Gbps effective.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear separation between these two products. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is an active, fully benchmarked desktop GPU with a 51st percentile ranking and an average score of 11627. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is an active integrated mobile GPU with no recorded benchmarks and a 50th percentile placement by default. Any user requiring measured performance data should look to the RX 7800 XT, as it is the only one with scores in the database. The Intel part's specifications, including 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 ray tracing cores, place it in a different performance class entirely. The RX 7800 XT fields 3840 shading units, 240 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 60 ray tracing cores.

The RX 7800 XT carries a 263 W TDP and requires a 600 W suggested PSU, while the Intel mobile part draws 25 W and uses no power connectors. That power envelope difference explains the gulf in compute throughput: 37.32 TFLOPS FP32 for the AMD card versus 2.355 TFLOPS for the Intel part. The RX 7800 XT also offers 16 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, whereas the Intel part depends on system shared memory. For any workload where the database has recorded results, the RX 7800 XT is the only viable choice. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile may serve in low-power portable systems, but its lack of benchmark data means no performance verdict can be drawn from the database. The percentile fields, 51 versus 50, reflect the absence of Intel measurements rather than competitive parity.
