Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 SUPER wins on every measurable performance metric in the database. Its PassMark G3D score of 29995 and GPU compute score of 17108 establish strong rasterization and compute capabilities. Its Geekbench scores of 205624 in Vulkan and 172795 in OpenCL indicate robust cross-API performance. The 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores give it hardware resources for ray-traced workloads and AI-accelerated tasks that the Intel part's 4 ray tracing cores and absent tensor core count cannot match. The 12 GB GDDR6X memory with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provides dedicated high-speed storage for assets, while the Intel part relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile wins on power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is a fraction of the RTX 4070 SUPER's 220 W. It requires no power connectors and no suggested PSU, fitting into an IGP slot with no physical dimensions listed. Its 3 nm process at Intel gives it a node advantage over the RTX 4070 SUPER's 5 nm process. The Intel part is designed for portable devices, where the RTX 4070 SUPER's dual-slot, 267 mm card cannot be installed.

The RTX 4070 SUPER also wins on production ecosystem context. It has defined predecessor and successor generations, while the Intel part has neither. Its launch MSRP of 599 USD establishes a market position, though the Intel part has no MSRP listed. The RTX 4070 SUPER's benchmark presence in the database, with 10 recorded test scores, contrasts with the Intel part's complete absence of recorded benchmark results.

The data indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the appropriate choice for desktop systems requiring high frame rates, ray tracing, and compute throughput. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is appropriate for compact, low-power portable systems where integrated graphics are the only option. The 50th percentile placement of the Intel part versus the 83rd percentile of the RTX 4070 SUPER summarizes the performance hierarchy between them.
