Without Intel benchmark data, the percentile comparison cannot be interpreted as a performance difference.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field except the API set. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so there is no API difference.

The manufacturing and packaging differences are extensive. AMD uses a 6 nm process at TSMC with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. Intel uses a 3 nm process at its own foundry with unknown transistor count and die size. The AMD part is a dual-slot card with PCIe 4.0 x8; the Intel part is an IGP with no bus interface beyond integrated graphics.

Clock specifications differ in the base clock: 1452 MHz for AMD versus 300 MHz for Intel. Both share a 2300 MHz boost clock. The AMD part has a 2200 MHz game clock, while the Intel part has none listed. Memory clocks differ fundamentally: AMD runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while Intel uses system shared memory.

Compute resource counts are higher on the AMD side. AMD has 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 28 RT cores. Intel has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 RT cores. Pixel rate is 147.2 GPixel/s for AMD versus 36.80 GPixel/s for Intel. Texture rate is 257.6 GTexel/s for AMD versus 73.60 GTexel/s for Intel.

FP32 throughput is 16.49 TFLOPS for AMD versus 2.355 TFLOPS for Intel. FP16 throughput is 32.97 TFLOPS (2:1) for AMD versus 4.710 TFLOPS (2:1) for Intel.

Power specifications favor the Intel part on consumption: 25 W TDP versus 43 W for AMD. The AMD card requires a 1x 6-pin power connector and a 200 W suggested PSU; the Intel IGP uses no connectors and has no PSU suggestion.

Memory specifications are entirely different. AMD has 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. Intel uses system shared memory for size, type, bus width, and bandwidth, with bandwidth described as system dependent.

Display outputs differ: AMD provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while Intel's outputs are portable device dependent. The release dates differ by several months: AMD on 2025-08-07 and Intel on 2026-01-26. The AMD part has a predecessor (Navi II) and successor (Navi IV) listed; the Intel part has neither.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear separation between these two products. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 is a discrete GPU with measured benchmark results, a 17th percentile ranking, and an average score of 2467. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is an integrated processor with no benchmark entries, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking that is not supported by any test data.

For users who need a discrete GPU with dedicated memory, the AMD Radeon RX 7400 provides 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 43 W TDP and 200 W suggested PSU indicate a self-contained power profile. The Intel part's system shared memory means its performance depends entirely on the host system's memory configuration.

The compute resource gap is substantial. AMD's 1792 shading units and 28 RT cores compare to Intel's 512 shading units and 4 RT cores. The FP32 throughput difference, 16.49 TFLOPS versus 2.355 TFLOPS, indicates a sevenfold advantage for AMD in raw compute terms.

The Intel part's advantages are its lower 25 W TDP, its 3 nm process node, and its integrated nature that requires no power connectors or additional PSU capacity. It is listed as Active in production status, while the AMD part has no production status recorded.

For ray tracing workloads, the AMD GPU's 28 RT cores provide a resource base that the Intel GPU's 4 RT cores do not match. For compute-heavy tasks, the Passmark GPU Compute score of 5152 for AMD stands against no recorded Intel score.

The 50th percentile ranking for the Intel part is unusual given the absence of benchmark data. The 17th percentile ranking for AMD is based on its measured average score of 2467. These percentile values cannot be directly compared without Intel performance measurements.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7400 wins in every category where the database contains measurable data. Its 16.49 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 32.97 TFLOPS FP16 throughput provide a computational ceiling that the Intel part's 2.355 TFLOPS FP32 and 4.710 TFLOPS FP16 do not approach. The pixel rate of 147.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 257.6 GTexel/s indicate higher fill capacity for graphics workloads.

The AMD GPU's dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth supports bandwidth-intensive applications. The Intel GPU's system shared memory has no fixed bandwidth figure, making its memory performance dependent on the host platform.

For discrete rendering workloads, the AMD part's 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs provide a resource pool for parallel pixel and texture processing. The Intel part's 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs represent a smaller allocation for the same tasks.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile wins on integration efficiency. Its 25 W TDP is lower than the AMD part's 43 W, and its IGP form factor requires no slot space, no power connectors, and no separate PSU allocation. Its 3 nm process node represents a more advanced manufacturing technology than the AMD part's 6 nm node.

The Intel part's 300 MHz base clock with a 2300 MHz boost clock shows a wide dynamic range, suggesting power-saving operation at idle and performance scaling under load. The AMD part's 1452 MHz base clock starts higher but has the same 2300 MHz boost ceiling.

For portable devices, the Intel GPU's portable device dependent display outputs and IGP design make it suitable for integrated mobile systems. The AMD GPU's fixed display output set of 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 targets desktop or discrete mobile configurations.

For users prioritizing measured performance, the AMD Radeon RX 7400 delivers all eight recorded benchmark scores, including a Passmark G3D score of 11897 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1103. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no recorded scores in any test, so its performance characteristics remain unquantified in the database.
