Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data separates these two GPUs into entirely different performance classes. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins on raw compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and fill rates by wide margins. Its FP32 output of 24.58 TFLOPS compares with 1,280.0 GFLOPS for the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile, a difference of roughly 19 times in single-precision compute. The LX MAX also delivers 49.15 TFLOPS FP16, while the Intel part reaches 2.560 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). For workloads that scale with shading units, texture mapping, or rasterization, the LX MAX holds the advantage in every measured category.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile wins only in efficiency and physical integration. Its 25 W TDP is 200 W lower than the LX MAX's 225 W TDP. The Intel part is an IGP with no power connectors, while the LX MAX is a dual-slot card requiring a 550 W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin connector. For compact systems, portable devices, or platforms that cannot host a discrete card, the Intel solution is the only viable option in this comparison. The data shows no benchmark suite where the Intel part wins on speed, but its power envelope and IGP form factor define its role.

The LX MAX's 12 GB GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth creates a memory subsystem that the Intel part cannot approach, since the Intel GPU uses System Shared memory with bandwidth described as System Dependent. In texture-heavy scenes, the LX MAX's 384.0 GTexel/s versus 40.00 GTexel/s gives it a 9.6 times advantage. In pixel output, the LX MAX's 192.0 GPixel/s versus 20.00 GPixel/s is a 9.6 times difference as well. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the LX MAX wins every performance metric, while the Intel part wins on power draw and system integration.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list in the database is empty, so no direct run-to-run scores exist for these two products. The comparison must rely on the specification-derived rates and compute figures recorded in the database. Those figures show decisive margins in favor of the LX MAX.

FP32 compute is the largest gap. The LX MAX outputs 24.58 TFLOPS, which is 19.2 times the Intel part's 1,280.0 GFLOPS. For FP16, the LX MAX outputs 49.15 TFLOPS, 19.2 times the Intel part's 2.560 TFLOPS. These ratios hold because both parts list a 2:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, so the relative gap is identical in both precisions.

Texture rate follows the same pattern. The LX MAX reaches 384.0 GTexel/s, while the Intel part reaches 40.00 GTexel/s. That is 9.6 times higher. The LX MAX's 192 TMUs versus the Intel part's 16 TMUs explain the ratio. Pixel rate also shows 9.6 times: 192.0 GPixel/s versus 20.00 GPixel/s, driven by 96 ROPs versus 8 ROPs.

Memory bandwidth is another categorical win. The LX MAX has 432.0 GB/s over a 192-bit GDDR6 interface with 12 GB capacity. The Intel part has no dedicated memory, using System Shared memory with System Dependent bandwidth, so no fixed bandwidth figure exists in the database. The memory clock of the LX MAX is listed at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective. The Intel part's memory clock is also System Shared with no numeric value.

The only recorded numbers where the Intel part leads are power and clock efficiency relative to its TDP. The Intel part boosts to 2500 MHz from a 300 MHz base, while the LX MAX lists no base or boost clock values. The Intel part's 25 W TDP with a 2500 MHz boost suggests a high frequency-per-watt ratio, but the database does not provide a comparable clock for the LX MAX to verify that. The API support is similar: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6, while the Intel part supports Vulkan 1.4 and the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile uses the Xe3-LPG architecture on Intel's 3 nm process, implemented in the Wildcat Lake chip. This is a low-power integrated design with 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and 2 RT cores. The architecture targets the Arc Graphics-M generation, which the database groups with integrated graphics solutions. Its predecessor is HD Graphics-M, indicating a lineage from Intel's integrated graphics line. The part has no dedicated memory, relying on System Shared memory, and its display output is Portable Device Dependent, meaning the host platform determines connectivity.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the TrueGPU architecture on TSMC's 6 nm process, implemented in the 7G106 chip. This is a discrete, dual-slot add-in card with 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and no RT cores listed. The architecture belongs to the 7G100 generation. It uses 12 GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with a 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth. The card connects via PCIe 4.0 x16 and provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Its dimensions are 248 mm by 118 mm by 48 mm, and it requires a 225 W TDP with a 550 W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin power connector.

The architectural split is clear. Intel's Xe3-LPG is designed for low-power integrated use, with a 25 W TDP and no external power. Lisuan's TrueGPU is designed for high-throughput discrete use, with 24 times the shading units, 12 times the TMUs, 12 times the ROPs, and a dedicated 12 GB GDDR6 memory pool. The Intel part includes 2 RT cores; the Lisuan part lists no RT core count. The Intel part supports Vulkan 1.4, one version ahead of the Lisuan part's Vulkan 1.3, but both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The process node difference favors Intel at 3 nm versus 6 nm, but the Lisuan part compensates with a far larger silicon implementation and dedicated memory.

The memory architecture is the most fundamental difference. Intel's System Shared memory means bandwidth and capacity depend on the host system, with no fixed figures in the database. Lisuan's dedicated GDDR6 subsystem provides fixed 432.0 GB/s bandwidth and 12 GB capacity, independent of the host. For workloads that repeatedly access large datasets, the Lisuan architecture provides predictable memory behavior, while the Intel architecture's performance scales with system memory configuration.

The Verdict

The data directs different buyers to different products. For anyone running compute-heavy workloads, high-resolution texture processing, or tasks that benefit from large dedicated memory, the Lisuan Tech LX MAX is the only choice between these two. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32, 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate, 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth put it in an entirely different class from the Intel part. The LX MAX also offers 12 GB GDDR6, which the Intel part cannot match with System Shared memory.

For systems constrained by power or physical space, the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile is the appropriate selection. Its 25 W TDP, IGP form factor, no power connectors, and Portable Device Dependent display outputs make it suitable for integrated platforms. Its 2500 MHz boost clock and 2 RT cores provide some capability, but its 256 shading units and 1,280.0 GFLOPS FP32 place it far below the LX MAX in every compute metric recorded.

The database shows no benchmark overlap, so the comparison rests on specification-derived rates. Those rates consistently favor the LX MAX by factors of 9.6 to 19.2 in compute, texture, and pixel throughput. The Intel part's only leads are in process node (3 nm versus 6 nm), Vulkan version (1.4 versus 1.3), and power consumption (25 W versus 225 W). The release dates are close, with the LX MAX released on 2026-03-16 and the Intel part on 2026-04-15. Both parts are listed as Active in production status. The LX MAX is the performance part; the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile is the efficiency and integration part.
