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

The Verdict

The recorded data presents two fundamentally different products that share almost no common ground. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor built into the Meteor Lake platform, designed for portable devices where power draw is constrained to 28 W. The Lisuan Tech LX PRO is a dual-slot, discrete add-in board with a 225 W power draw, 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, and a 16-pin power connector. These are not rivals in any meaningful sense; they serve entirely different use cases.

For users constrained to a portable device with an IGP, the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile is the only one of the two that fits. Its 28 W envelope, system-shared memory, and Ring Bus interface indicate a part intended for thin-and-light machines where discrete graphics is not an option. The data shows no performance benchmarks recorded for either product, so the verdict rests on architectural specifications and physical characteristics.

For users needing a discrete card with substantial memory capacity, the Lisuan Tech LX PRO is the clear choice based on the specification sheet. Its 24 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, 192-bit bus, and 6144 shading units place it in a completely different performance class than the Intel IGP. The LX PRO also supports four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, whereas the Intel part's display outputs are portable device dependent.

Neither product can be recommended over the other for the same workload. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile exists for integrated scenarios, while the Lisuan Tech LX PRO exists for discrete expansion slots. The recorded data shows both are currently Active in production, but their release dates differ by over two years: Intel's part appeared in late 2023, while the Lisuan Tech product is dated to early 2026.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use entirely different manufacturing and architectural approaches. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile is built on Intel's Xe-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The chip is part of the Meteor Lake generation, specifically the Arc Graphics-M (Meteor Lake) family. Its predecessor is listed as HD Graphics-M, indicating a lineage from Intel's integrated graphics line.

The Lisuan Tech LX PRO uses a "TrueGPU" architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. Its chip is designated 7G105, belonging to the 7G100 generation. The transistor count and die size for the Lisuan part are listed as unknown, while those fields are null for the Intel part as well, so no comparison is possible on that front.

The Intel part integrates 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. The Lisuan Tech LX PRO offers 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. That means the Lisuan part has exactly six times the shading units, three times the TMUs, and three times the ROPs of the Intel IGP.

Memory architecture differs completely. Intel's IGP uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth and a system-shared bus width. The Lisuan part pairs 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock for the Lisuan part is 2250 MHz, which the database notes is 18 Gbps effective.

API support shows a notable difference. The Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Lisuan part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The Lisuan part has the higher DirectX feature level (12_2 vs 12_1), while the Intel part has a newer Vulkan revision (1.4 vs 1.3).

Physical form factors diverge sharply. The Intel part is an IGP with a slot width of "IGP" and no power connectors. The Lisuan part is dual-slot, measures 248 mm in length, 118 mm in height, and 48 mm in width, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and suggests a 550 W power supply. The Intel part connects via Ring Bus, while the Lisuan part uses PCIe 4.0 x16.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either product. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and both products show an average benchmark score of zero. Both also share the same percentile ranking against all GPUs at 50. This means the recorded data provides no direct performance measurements to compare.

However, the specification-derived compute rates offer a quantitative basis for comparison. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile delivers a pixel rate of 72.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 144.0 GTexel/s. The Lisuan Tech LX PRO delivers a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s. That puts the Lisuan part at 2.67 times the pixel rate and 2.67 times the texture rate of the Intel IGP, matching the 3x ROP and 3x TMU advantage.

In floating-point compute, the Intel part achieves 4.608 TFLOPS for FP32 and 9.216 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1). The Lisuan part achieves 24.58 TFLOPS for FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1). The Lisuan part therefore delivers approximately 5.33 times the FP32 throughput and approximately 5.33 times the FP16 throughput of the Intel part. This ratio aligns with the 6x shading unit advantage, with the difference attributable to clock and efficiency factors.

The memory bandwidth gap is even larger. The Intel part's bandwidth is listed as system dependent, meaning it varies with the host platform's memory configuration. The Lisuan part has a fixed 432.0 GB/s bandwidth from its GDDR6 configuration. A system-shared IGP with no dedicated memory cannot match a discrete 24 GB GDDR6 buffer in bandwidth or capacity.

The Intel part's advantage lies in power efficiency and portability. At 28 W, it draws approximately one-eighth the power of the Lisuan part's 225 W rating. The Intel part requires no power connectors and no additional power supply headroom, while the Lisuan part suggests a 550 W power supply. For a portable device, the Intel IGP is the only viable option. For a desktop workstation or gaming machine with a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, the Lisuan part's compute rates and memory subsystem put it in a different class entirely.

The API support comparison shows a split decision. The Lisuan part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes features beyond the Intel part's DirectX 12 (12_1) support. However, the Intel part supports Vulkan 1.4, while the Lisuan part supports Vulkan 1.3. The OpenGL support is identical at 4.6 for both.

The Lisuan part's display output capability is fixed at four DisplayPort 1.4a connections. The Intel part's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, meaning the number and type of outputs depend on the host laptop or mobile device design. This reflects the integrated nature of the Intel part versus the standalone nature of the Lisuan card.

Both products are Active in production status, and neither has a successor recorded. The Intel part has a predecessor (HD Graphics-M), while the Lisuan part does not. Neither product has a launch MSRP recorded, so no price comparison is possible from the data.
