AMD Radeon RX 7400 vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two GPUs into completely different performance classes. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 holds all eight available benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This makes direct win counts impossible to establish: the database shows winsA at 0 and winsB at 0 because head-to-head benchmark data does not exist for this pairing.

Looking at the AMD part alone, its benchmark profile shows clear strengths in specific workloads. The PassMark G3D score of 11897 is the standout result, far exceeding the GPU compute score of 5152. The DirectX 9 result of 176 outpaces the DirectX 11 score of 97, which in turn more than doubles the DirectX 10 score of 59. The DirectX 12 result of 44 sits at the bottom of the API test range. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1103 and the PassMark G2D score of 1209 round out the recorded results. This pattern indicates that the RX 7400 is strongest in legacy DirectX 9 workloads and general 3D rendering, while its compute throughput is moderate relative to its own graphics scores.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile arrives with zero benchmarks in the database and an average benchmark score of 0. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs tracked, but that percentile is not supported by any measured score in the current data. The practical interpretation is that the database lacks sufficient evidence to assign this Intel part any performance wins. Any use-case advantage for the Intel GPU must come from its architectural positioning rather than from measured results.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, and fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm Intel process. The process node gap is substantial: 6 nm versus 3 nm.

Transistor counts tell a stark story. The AMD chip has 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, producing a density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel part has unknown transistor count, unknown die size, and no density figure recorded. The RX 7400 is a discrete, dual-slot card with a 1x 6-pin power connector and a 200 W suggested power supply. The Intel part is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and no suggested PSU rating.

The memory subsystems could not be more different. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel IGP uses system shared memory, with system-dependent bandwidth and no dedicated VRAM. This is a fundamental architectural split: one GPU has its own high-speed memory pool, the other borrows from system RAM.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The RX 7400 has 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 ray tracing core. The AMD part also lists a game clock of 2200 MHz and a boost clock of 2300 MHz, while the Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and the same 2300 MHz boost. The AMD base clock of 1452 MHz is nearly five times higher than the Intel base clock, though both reach the same boost ceiling.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the Intel IGP's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent. The Intel part is marked as Active in production status and was released in April 2026, while the AMD part has no production status recorded and was released in August 2025.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark entries exist for this pair in the database. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, so there are no direct comparison scores to walk through. The analysis must instead rely on the AMD part's absolute scores and the Intel part's lack of measured data.

The AMD Radeon RX 7400's PassMark G3D score of 11897 places it at the 17th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 2467 puts it within 1.1% of the AMD Radeon 8040S (average 2440), 1.4% of the NVIDIA GeForce 710M (average 2433), 1.8% of the Intel HD Graphics 610 (average 2425), and 1.9% of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M (average 2422). These nearest rivals are all low-end or legacy parts, which confirms that the RX 7400 sits in the entry-level segment despite its modern architecture.

The RX 7400's compute throughput is 5152 in PassMark GPU compute, which is roughly 43% of its own G3D score. The FP32 rating of 16.49 TFLOPS and FP16 rating of 32.97 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) show the raw compute ceiling. Pixel rate of 147.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 257.6 GTexel/s reflect the 64 ROPs and 112 TMUs working at the 2300 MHz boost clock.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no scores to compare. Its FP32 rating of 588.8 GFLOPS is about 3.6% of the AMD part's FP32 throughput. The pixel rate of 9.200 GPixel/s and texture rate of 18.40 GTexel/s are similarly dwarfed by the AMD figures. The Intel IGP's 128 shading units versus 1792, 8 TMUs versus 112, and 4 ROPs versus 64 all point to a part designed for basic display output rather than competitive gaming or compute workloads.

A: The closest by average benchmark score are the AMD Radeon 8040S (2440, 1.1% difference), NVIDIA GeForce 710M (2433, 1.4%), Intel HD Graphics 610 (2425, 1.8%), and NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M (2422, 1.9%).

The Verdict

The data points in one direction. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 is a discrete graphics card with measured performance across eight benchmark tests, an average score of 2467, and a 17th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals are all legacy or entry-level parts, which defines its position as a low-end discrete GPU. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated part with no measured benchmarks, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database.

Anyone selecting between these two should consider the fundamental use case. The RX 7400 delivers real, recorded 3D performance: a PassMark G3D score of 11897, a DirectX 9 score of 176, and an FP32 throughput of 16.49 TFLOPS. It has dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 28 ray tracing cores, and a 200 W suggested PSU requirement. This is a GPU intended for actual rendering workloads, albeit at the entry level.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an IGP with a 25 W TDP, no power connectors, and no dedicated memory. Its 128 shading units and 588.8 GFLOPS FP32 throughput indicate a part meant for basic graphics output in a portable device. The 50th percentile ranking is unsupported by any measured score in the database, so it cannot be treated as evidence of competitive performance.

The database supports a straightforward choice: the AMD Radeon RX 7400 is the only one of these two with recorded performance data, and that data places it ahead of several older discrete GPUs. The Intel IGP is a low-power integrated solution with architectural potential but no verified results. The verdict from the recorded facts is that the RX 7400 is the performance pick, while the Intel part is a power-efficient integrated option whose actual capabilities remain unmeasured.
