Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no directly recorded head-to-head benchmark entries for the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile versus the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. However, the recorded data for the RTX 4070 SUPER provides a substantial reference point, while the Intel part carries no benchmark scores of its own. The RTX 4070 SUPER posts an average benchmark score of 43,223 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs tracked by the database. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile position with an average benchmark score of zero, indicating that no comparable workload results have been recorded for it.

The RTX 4070 SUPER delivers its strongest recorded performance in the Geekbench Vulkan test with a score of 205,624, followed by Geekbench OpenCL at 172,795. The Passmark G3D suite records 29,995, and Passmark GPU Compute reaches 17,108. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the card scores 4,627. The older DirectX suites show lower numbers: Passmark DirectX 9 records 344, DirectX 11 records 273, DirectX 10 records 167, and DirectX 12 records 110. The Passmark G2D score of 1,184 reflects 2D rasterization performance, which is a different workload class from the 3D results.

For the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile, the absence of recorded benchmark scores means that no direct numerical comparison can be drawn from the database. The raw throughput figures, however, indicate the scale of the gap. The Intel part computes FP32 at 588.8 GFLOPS and FP16 at 1,177.6 GFLOPS (2:1 ratio). The RTX 4070 SUPER computes FP32 at 35.48 TFLOPS and FP16 at 35.48 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). Converting both to the same unit, the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers roughly 60 times the FP32 throughput of the Intel integrated solution. Pixel fill rates show a similar disparity: the Intel part reaches 9.200 GPixel/s, while the RTX 4070 SUPER reaches 198.0 GPixel/s, a factor of roughly 21.5. Texture rates differ by a factor of about 30, with 18.40 GTexel/s for Intel and 554.4 GTexel/s for NVIDIA.

The nearest rivals recorded for the RTX 4070 SUPER in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43,262 (0.1% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 43,268 (0.1% behind), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43,301 (0.2% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 43,667 (1% ahead). These figures position the RTX 4070 SUPER in a tight performance cluster where the largest delta among the four nearest rivals is only 1%. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no nearest rivals listed in the database, so no similar clustering analysis is possible.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile wins in power efficiency and physical integration. Its TDP is 25 W, compared to 220 W for the RTX 4070 SUPER. It uses no power connectors and requires no suggested PSU rating in the database, whereas the RTX 4070 SUPER requires a single 16-pin connector and a suggested PSU of 550 W. The Intel part is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a bus interface of IGP, meaning it occupies no expansion slot and has no board dimensions listed. The RTX 4070 SUPER is a dual-slot card measuring 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 42 mm in width, using a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. The Intel solution also relies on system-shared memory for both capacity and bandwidth, which removes the need for dedicated video memory but ties performance to system DRAM.

The RTX 4070 SUPER wins in every recorded performance category. It has dedicated 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part uses system-shared memory with bandwidth described only as system dependent. The RTX 4070 SUPER has 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, 56 ray tracing cores, and 224 tensor cores. The Intel part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 ray tracing core, with no tensor core count recorded. The RTX 4070 SUPER supports 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, as does the Intel part, so API feature parity exists on paper even though the hardware resources differ enormously.

The use-case split is clear from the data. The RTX 4070 SUPER is intended for discrete desktop graphics workloads where throughput, memory bandwidth, and dedicated VRAM matter. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated solution for portable devices, as its display outputs are listed as portable device dependent. The Intel part suits lightweight systems where power draw is constrained to 25 W and where no discrete card can fit. The RTX 4070 SUPER suits systems with a 550 W PSU recommendation, a dual-slot expansion bay, and a 16-pin power connector. The database does not record any overlap in these usage contexts.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, foundries, and process nodes. Intel builds the Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry, using the Wildcat Lake chip and Xe3-LPG architecture. NVIDIA builds the RTX 4070 SUPER on a 5 nm process at TSMC, using the AD104 chip and Ada Lovelace architecture. The Intel part belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Wildcat Lake) generation, while the NVIDIA part belongs to the GeForce 40 generation.

The RTX 4070 SUPER has a recorded transistor count of 35,800 million on a 294 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel part has unknown transistor count and die size in the database, so those fields cannot be compared numerically. The clock behavior differs as well. The Intel base clock is 300 MHz with a boost of 2300 MHz. The RTX 4070 SUPER base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost of 2475 MHz. The NVIDIA card runs its memory at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective data rate, while the Intel part uses system-shared memory with no dedicated clock.

Compute resource allocation differs by an order of magnitude in every category. The Intel part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 RT core. The RTX 4070 SUPER has 7,168 shading units, 224 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 56 RT cores. The RTX 4070 SUPER also includes 224 tensor cores, while the Intel part has no tensor core count recorded. The FP16 ratio also differs: Intel uses a 2:1 ratio (FP16 at 1,177.6 GFLOPS versus FP32 at 588.8 GFLOPS), while NVIDIA achieves a 1:1 ratio (both at 35.48 TFLOPS), indicating that the NVIDIA architecture does not halve throughput for FP16 workloads.

Power delivery and physical format separate the two entirely. The Intel part is an IGP with no slot width, no power connectors, and no length or height dimensions. The RTX 4070 SUPER is a dual-slot card with a 16-pin connector, a 550 W suggested PSU, and physical dimensions of 267 mm by 112 mm by 42 mm. The bus interfaces also differ, with Intel using IGP and NVIDIA using PCIe 4.0 x16.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two GPUs into different product categories entirely. The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile is an integrated graphics processor with a 25 W TDP, system-shared memory, and no recorded benchmark scores. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a discrete dual-slot card with 12 GB of GDDR6X, 220 W TDP, a 550 W suggested PSU, and an average benchmark score of 43,223.

Any user requiring recorded 3D performance should select the RTX 4070 SUPER. The database shows it at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rivals within a 1% performance band. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded scores, so the database provides no evidence of competitive 3D capability.

Any user constrained to a 25 W power budget, an IGP form factor, and no expansion slot should select the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile. It requires no power connectors, no PSU recommendation, and no board space. The RTX 4070 SUPER cannot operate in such a configuration. The RTX 4070 SUPER also carries a launch MSRP of 599 USD, while the Intel part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The API support is identical on paper, but the hardware resources differ by factors of 56 in shading units, 60 in FP32 throughput, and 21.5 in pixel fill rate. The production status also differs, with the Intel part active and the RTX 4070 SUPER end-of-life. The choice depends entirely on whether the system can support a discrete card and whether the workload requires the recorded performance levels of the RTX 4070 SUPER.
