Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile against the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. Both entries carry an average benchmark score of 0, and the wins tally shows 0 for each side. Without executed workloads or measured frame rates, the comparative performance picture rests entirely on the architectural and specification data recorded for each part.

The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile delivers 4.608 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 9.216 TFLOPS of FP16 compute, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS of FP16. That places the LX MAX at roughly 5.3 times the FP32 throughput and 5.3 times the FP16 throughput of the Intel integrated solution. Pixel throughput tells a similar story: the LX MAX renders 192.0 GPixel/s against the Intel part's 72.00 GPixel/s, a 2.67x advantage. Texture fill rate shows 384.0 GTexel/s for the LX MAX versus 144.0 GTexel/s for the Intel Arc, a 2.67x margin as well.

Both parts sit at the 50th percentile in the database's all-GPU distribution, which reflects the absence of measured benchmark scores rather than parity in real-world capability. The raw data indicates a substantial compute gap, but the database does not yet contain the executed tests that would confirm how that gap translates into application-level results. The Intel part relies on system-shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent, while the LX MAX uses dedicated 12 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory configuration difference alone will dominate memory-bound workloads, but again, no benchmark numbers are recorded to quantify the effect.

Architecture Differences

The two products come from entirely different design philosophies. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor built on the Meteor Lake chip, using the Xe-LPG architecture. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The LX MAX is a discrete graphics card from Lisuan Tech, based on the 7G106 chip with the TrueGPU architecture, part of the 7G100 generation, and manufactured on TSMC's 6 nm process.

The Intel part uses a Ring Bus interface and is an IGP, meaning it has no slot width and no power connectors; its thermal design power is 28 W. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a dual-slot card with a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, a single 16-pin power connector, and a 225 W TDP. The database also records a suggested power supply of 550 W for the LX MAX, which is not applicable to the integrated Intel solution.

Shader resources differ enormously. The Intel Arc packs 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The LX MAX carries 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. That is 6 times the shading units, 3 times the TMUs, and 3 times the ROPs. Neither part lists dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores in the database, so no comparison can be made there.

Memory architecture is a fundamental split. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile has system-shared memory with a system-shared type, system-shared bus width, and system-dependent bandwidth. Its memory clock is also system shared. The LX MAX has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 192-bit bus, 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and a 2250 MHz memory clock described as 18 Gbps effective. The Intel part's base clock is 300 MHz with a boost of 2250 MHz; the LX MAX has no recorded base or boost clock in the database, so clock-to-clock comparison is not possible.

API support differs in the DirectX version. The Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the LX MAX supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both list OpenGL 4.6. Vulkan support shows 1.4 for Intel and 1.3 for the LX MAX. Display outputs also differ: the Intel part is portable device dependent, while the LX MAX provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a connectors.

The LX MAX has recorded physical dimensions: 248 mm length, 118 mm height, and 48 mm width. The Intel integrated part has no dimensions recorded, consistent with its IGP status. Production status for both is Active. The Intel part has a release date of December 13, 2023, and a predecessor of HD Graphics-M. The LX MAX has a release date of March 16, 2026, and no predecessor recorded.

The Verdict

The database shows two products aimed at completely separate use cases, and the recorded specifications make that division clear. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile is an integrated GPU with 28 W TDP, system-shared memory, and a Ring Bus interface. It is designed to operate within a portable device, with display outputs dependent on the host system. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a discrete, dual-slot card requiring a 16-pin power connector and a 550 W suggested power supply, with dedicated 12 GB GDDR6 memory and a 192-bit bus.

For compute-intensive workloads, the LX MAX holds every recorded advantage. Its FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS is over five times the Intel part's 4.608 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS is similarly over five times the Intel part's 9.216 TFLOPS. Pixel rate and texture rate both favor the LX MAX by 2.67x. Memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s versus system-dependent bandwidth gives the discrete card a decisive edge in any bandwidth-limited scenario.

For systems constrained by power and form factor, the Intel part is the only viable option. It consumes 28 W against the LX MAX's 225 W, requires no auxiliary power, and fits as an IGP on a Ring Bus. The LX MAX's physical footprint of 248 mm by 118 mm by 48 mm and its dual-slot width preclude its use in compact portable devices. The data does not support a head-to-head performance ranking because no benchmark scores are recorded for either product. What the data does show is that the LX MAX is engineered for high-throughput, memory-hungry workloads on a desktop platform, while the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile is engineered for integrated, power-efficient operation within a mobile device. Each product serves its intended platform, and the recorded specifications place them in different tiers of the database.
