Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile vs Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions these two integrated graphics solutions at opposite ends of Intel's Arc lineup. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile, built on the Wildcat Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, is a low-power part rated at 25 W, while the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, based on Arrow Lake-S with Xe-LPG architecture, consumes 65 W and delivers a substantially higher compute ceiling. Benchmark results indicate that the 64EU part is the stronger performer, with a measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733. The 1 Xe Mobile part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified against the 64EU directly. However, the specification data shows a clear resource gap: the 64EU part carries 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, while the 1 Xe Mobile part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs.

For users selecting between these two, the data favors the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU for any workload that stresses shader throughput, texturing, or pixel fill. Its FP32 rate of 1.946 TFLOPS is more than three times the 588.8 GFLOPS of the 1 Xe Mobile part. Its pixel rate of 30.40 GPixel/s and texture rate of 60.80 GTexel/s dwarf the 9.200 GPixel/s and 18.40 GTexel/s of the smaller part. The 64EU part also sits at the 3rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 733, placing it near the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 24EU, both at 733 with a 0% delta, and slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6470M, which scores 723 with a 1.4% delta.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is the appropriate choice when power and thermal limits matter most. Its 25 W TDP is less than half the 65 W of the 64EU part, and it targets the portable device segment, as its display outputs are portable device dependent. The architecture is newer, using Xe3-LPG on a 3 nm node, while the 64EU uses the older Xe-LPG on a 3 nm node from TSMC. Neither part has a launch MSRP listed, so no price comparison is possible from the data. The 1 Xe Mobile part is also the higher-clocked part in boost terms, reaching 2300 MHz versus 1900 MHz for the 64EU, but the 64EU compensates with four times the execution resources.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different chip designs and architecture generations. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, produced on a 3 nm node at Intel's own foundry. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip with Xe-LPG architecture, produced on a 3 nm node at TSMC. The foundry difference is a clear architectural distinction: one uses Intel fabrication, the other TSMC fabrication. The 64EU part's full chip data is recorded in the database, with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The 1 Xe Mobile part has unknown transistor count and die size, so no density comparison is possible.

The execution pipeline differs sharply. The 1 Xe Mobile part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 ray tracing core. The 64EU part has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and no ray tracing core listed. The 64EU part therefore lacks dedicated ray tracing hardware in the recorded data, while the 1 Xe Mobile part includes one RT core. Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity is maintained despite the internal differences.

Clock behavior also differs. The 1 Xe Mobile part runs at a 300 MHz base clock and boosts to 2300 MHz. The 64EU part also has a 300 MHz base clock but boosts only to 1900 MHz. The smaller part has a higher boost clock, which partially compensates for its reduced execution width, but the arithmetic rates show the 64EU still holds a commanding lead in raw throughput. The 1 Xe Mobile part's boost advantage of 400 MHz does not bridge the resource gap.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two parts, and the winsA and winsB counters are both zero. The only recorded benchmark for either part is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733 for the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores in the database, so no direct percentage delta can be computed.

The 64EU part's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 24EU both average 733, a 0% delta from the 64EU. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M averages 723, which is 1.4% slower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M averages 751, which is 2.4% faster. This places the 64EU part in a narrow performance band among its closest competitors. The 1 Xe Mobile part has no nearest rivals listed, so its competitive position cannot be established from the data.

Given the specification gap, the expected outcome in any compute-bound workload is that the 64EU part would outperform the 1 Xe Mobile part by a wide margin. The FP32 throughput difference is the most telling: 1.946 TFLOPS versus 588.8 GFLOPS. The texture rate difference is 60.80 GTexel/s versus 18.40 GTexel/s. The pixel rate difference is 30.40 GPixel/s versus 9.200 GPixel/s. These are the metrics that indicate fill-rate and shader-bound performance, and the 64EU part leads in every one.

The 1 Xe Mobile part has no launch MSRP listed, and neither does the 64EU part.

Fields that match are memory size, type, bus width, and bandwidth, all system shared or system dependent, and the API set, which is identical.
