AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU vs Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data shows a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result for the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU, scoring 516. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile currently has no benchmark entries in the database, leaving its average score at zero. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible, but the AMD part’s nearest rivals provide context for where it sits.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is 6.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6750M, which holds an average score of 484. Against the Intel HD Graphics P4000, the AMD part trails by 3.4%, as that Intel solution averages 534. The AMD Radeon HD 6870 scores 536, putting the Z2 Extreme 3.7% behind that older discrete card. The largest deficit appears against the AMD Radeon HD 6770M, where the Z2 Extreme sits 9.3% behind a 569 average score.

These deltas place the Z2 Extreme in a narrow performance band. It is not dramatically faster than its closest rivals, nor is it severely slower. The spread from 484 to 569 among nearby competitors means the 516 score lands roughly in the middle of that cluster. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no comparable score, so its position cannot be quantified from the database at this time.

The AMD part’s 1st percentile ranking across all GPUs indicates it sits at the very low end of the overall performance distribution. That percentile reflects the entire pool of recorded GPUs, not just its immediate neighbors. The Intel part’s 50th percentile ranking is based on its position in the database, though with no benchmark score attached, that percentile should be interpreted cautiously.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU has a measurable benchmark win: a 516 score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. That result is the only recorded performance data point for either part. The AMD chip demonstrates it can complete a modern DX12 workload and produce a score that lands within a few percentage points of several older GPUs.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded wins in the database. No benchmark entries exist for it, so there are no positive results to cite. Its strengths must be inferred from the specification fields rather than from measured performance. The Intel part does carry a 50th percentile ranking, which suggests it is not categorized at the extreme low end of the GPU population, but the absence of a score prevents any confirmation of that ranking through benchmark data.

In terms of architectural positioning, the AMD part uses RDNA 3.5 on a 4 nm TSMC process, while the Intel part uses Xe3-LPG on a 3 nm Intel process. The AMD chip is built on the Strix Point die with 34,000 million transistors and a 233 mm² die size. The Intel chip uses the Panther Lake die, though its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database.

The AMD part delivers 5.530 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 5.530 TFLOPS of FP16 performance at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part delivers 2.355 TFLOPS of FP32 and 4.710 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. Those numbers show the AMD chip has substantially higher FP32 throughput, while the Intel chip’s FP16 output is stronger relative to its own FP32 figure.

The Verdict

The database currently supports only one clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU has a recorded benchmark score, and the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile does not. Anyone comparing these two parts for measured performance must rely on the AMD chip’s 516 score and its deltas against nearby rivals. The Intel part cannot be validated through benchmark results in the database at this time.

For users who prioritize a tested DX12 result, the AMD chip is the only option with data. Its 516 score places it in a cluster with the Intel HD Graphics P4000, AMD Radeon HD 6870, AMD Radeon HD 6750M, and AMD Radeon HD 6770M, with deltas ranging from 6.6% ahead to 9.3% behind. That is a modest performance envelope, consistent with its 1st percentile ranking across all GPUs.

The Intel part’s specifications suggest it is a different class of product: a 25 W integrated GPU with 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 ray tracing cores. The AMD part uses 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores at 28 W. Those figures indicate the AMD chip has double the shading units, double the TMUs, triple the ROPs, and quadruple the ray tracing cores. The AMD chip also reports 128.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth from a 128-bit LPDDR5X interface with 16 GB of memory, while the Intel part uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

The Intel part’s 50th percentile ranking is the only positive ranking signal it has. Without a benchmark score, however, that ranking cannot be tied to any measured performance event. The database treats it as an active product with no recorded results.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is built on the Strix Point chip using RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process at Intel. These are fundamentally different design approaches: AMD retains a discrete-style GPU layout with dedicated memory, while Intel integrates the graphics into a mobile processor with shared system memory.

The AMD chip contains 34,000 million transistors on a 233 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 145.9M per mm². The Intel chip’s transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database. That missing data prevents any density comparison between the two.

The AMD part has 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 ray tracing cores. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API coverage is identical even though the underlying hardware differs sharply.

The AMD chip’s FP16 to FP32 ratio is 1:1, meaning both precision levels run at the same 5.530 TFLOPS. The Intel chip runs FP32 at 2.355 TFLOPS and FP16 at 4.710 TFLOPS, a 2:1 ratio that favors half-precision workloads. The AMD chip’s FP32 figure is more than double the Intel chip’s FP32 figure, and its FP16 figure is also higher despite the Intel chip dedicating extra throughput to FP16.

Clock behavior also differs. The AMD chip has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2700 MHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2300 MHz. The AMD chip’s boost clock is 400 MHz higher, and its base clock is 500 MHz higher. The AMD chip’s pixel rate is 129.6 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 172.8 GTexel/s. The Intel chip’s pixel rate is 36.80 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 73.60 GTexel/s.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is categorized as a Console GPU from AMD, while the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is categorized as Arc Graphics-M from Panther Lake.

Process node and foundry differ: AMD uses 4 nm at TSMC, Intel uses 3 nm at Intel. The AMD chip’s transistor count is 34,000 million and its die size is 233 mm². The Intel chip’s transistor count and die size are unknown. The AMD part has a dedicated 16 GB LPDDR5X memory pool with a 128-bit bus and 128.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

Clocks: AMD runs at 800 MHz base and 2700 MHz boost, with memory at 1000 MHz or 8 Gbps effective. Intel runs at 300 MHz base and 2300 MHz boost, with system shared memory. Compute units: AMD has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 16 RT cores. Intel has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 RT cores.

Rates: AMD reports 129.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 172.8 GTexel/s texture rate. Intel reports 36.80 GPixel/s and 73.60 GTexel/s. FP32: AMD at 5.530 TFLOPS, Intel at 2.355 TFLOPS. FP16: AMD at 5.530 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, Intel at 4.710 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio.

Power: AMD has a 28 W TDP, Intel has a 25 W TDP. Neither part uses power connectors. Display outputs: AMD lists 1x USB Type-C, Intel lists portable device dependent outputs.
