AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP and the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, indicating that no shared workload results have been logged for both parts under identical test conditions. This absence of overlapping measurements makes a direct performance comparison impossible from the available data. However, the two cards do have standalone benchmark results, and those results differ sharply in both availability and magnitude.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has two recorded benchmark scores. In Geekbench OpenCL, it delivers 88183 points. In Geekbench Vulkan, it returns 39476 points. Its average benchmark score across all logged tests is 63830. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 has no recorded benchmark scores at all. Its benchmark array is empty, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. The database therefore treats the Intel part as lacking any measured performance data, while the AMD card sits at the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The AMD card's nearest rivals provide context for its average score. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX averages 63842, which is a 0% delta relative to the RX 9060 XT LP. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M averages 63775, a 0.1% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 averages 63693, a 0.2% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 averages 64212, a -0.6% delta. These four cards bracket the RX 9060 XT LP within roughly one percent, meaning the AMD card's average score of 63830 places it in a tightly clustered performance band where no single rival holds a meaningful lead. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550, by contrast, has no nearest rivals listed, which reflects the absence of any comparable average score to anchor it.

The percentile figures reinforce the separation. The RX 9060 XT LP ranks above 89% of all GPUs in the database. The Intel part ranks above 50% of all GPUs, but that figure is derived from an average score of 0, so it carries no practical weight in performance terms. The data shows that the AMD card has measurable compute output, while the Intel card's percentile is effectively a placeholder until real benchmark results are recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and different architectural lineages. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, part of the Navi IV generation. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 4 nm process. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 uses the Ponte Vecchio chip built on Generation 12.5 architecture, part of the Data Center GPU family. It is fabricated by Intel on a 10 nm process.

Transistor counts differ enormously. The AMD chip packs 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 149.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel chip packs 100,000 million transistors on a 1280 mm² die, giving a density of 78.1 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel die is roughly 6.4 times larger in area and holds more than three times the transistor count, but the AMD process achieves nearly double the transistor density. The 4 nm TSMC node versus the 10 nm Intel node explains much of that density gap.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The AMD card uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel card uses 128 GB of HBM2e on an 8192-bit bus, yielding 3.28 TB/s of bandwidth. The Intel memory bus is 64 times wider, and its bandwidth is roughly ten times higher. The memory clocks also differ: the AMD memory runs at 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective data rate, while the Intel memory runs at 1600 MHz with 3.2 Gbps effective.

Compute resources diverge in scale. The AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel card has 16384 shading units, 1024 texture mapping units, 0 ROPs, and 128 ray tracing cores. Intel's shading unit count is eight times higher, and its TMU count is eight times higher. The Intel card has no ROPs at all, recording a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s, while the AMD card records 195.2 GPixel/s. Texture throughput favors Intel at 1,638.4 GTexel/s versus 390.4 GTexel/s for AMD.

The API support differs at the top tier. AMD lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Intel lists DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and no Vulkan entry. The AMD card therefore carries a higher DirectX feature level and explicit Vulkan support in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins in measured benchmark performance. It has a recorded average score of 63830, individual scores of 88183 in Geekbench OpenCL and 39476 in Geekbench Vulkan, and an 89th percentile ranking. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 has no recorded scores, so the AMD card is the only one of the two with verifiable compute results in the database. For any workload that depends on logged performance data, the AMD part is the clear choice.

The AMD card also wins on power efficiency in practical terms. Its 140 W TDP against 600 W for Intel means a much lower power draw for a card that still produces measurable compute output. Its suggested PSU of 300 W versus 1000 W for Intel reinforces the lower system power requirement. The AMD card uses a standard dual-slot cooler and a single 8-pin power connector, while the Intel part is an OAM Module with no power connector specified, which implies a different and more specialized installation path.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 wins in raw hardware capacity. Its FP32 throughput of 52.43 TFLOPS is more than double the AMD card's 24.99 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput is likewise 52.43 TFLOPS versus 24.99 TFLOPS. Memory capacity is 128 GB versus 16 GB, and memory bandwidth is 3.28 TB/s versus 322.3 GB/s. Texture rate is 1,638.4 GTexel/s versus 390.4 GTexel/s. Shading units, TMUs, and RT cores all favor Intel by an eightfold margin or more. The Intel card also has no ROPs and no display outputs, which marks it as a compute-oriented accelerator rather than a graphics output device.

The AMD card wins on form factor and connectivity. It is a dual-slot card with HDMI 2.1b and two DisplayPort 2.1a outputs. The Intel card has no display outputs at all. The AMD card is built for a conventional PCIe slot with a standard power connector. The Intel card is an OAM Module, a board form factor for dense data center installations.

The data suggests a clean split. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP delivers verified compute performance, display output, and modest power requirements in a standard card format. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 offers substantially higher theoretical compute and memory resources but lacks any logged benchmark scores and any display connectivity. For database-verified performance, AMD is the only option. For raw hardware specifications, Intel leads in nearly every capacity metric.
