Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows an extreme disparity in almost every measurable category. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile manages only 2.355 TFLOPS. That is a 17x difference in raw floating-point throughput. Pixel throughput follows a similar pattern: the RTX 4070 Ti reaches 208.8 GPixel/s compared to 36.80 GPixel/s for the Intel part, a 5.7x gap. Texture fill rates are even further apart, with 626.4 GTexel/s versus 73.60 GTexel/s, an 8.5x difference.

The RTX 4070 Ti posts an average benchmark score of 44795 across the database's test suite. That places it at the 84th percentile of all GPUs tracked. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile at 45152 (0.8% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45384 (1.3% higher), and the Intel Arc A730M at 45592 (1.7% higher). The RTX A6000 sits 1.6% lower at 44075. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has no benchmark entries in the database, no average score, and no nearest rival data. Its percentile ranking is listed as 50, but there are no recorded measurements to substantiate any performance claim.

Individual benchmark results for the RTX 4070 Ti show where its strengths concentrate. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 213808, and in Geekbench OpenCL it scores 176953. Passmark G3D returns 31624, while Passmark GPU Compute returns 18396. DirectX-specific Passmark tests are far lower: DirectX 9 scores 352, DirectX 11 scores 288, DirectX 10 scores 187, and DirectX 12 scores 116. Passmark G2D sits at 1200. These numbers indicate that the card's compute and modern API performance vastly outpaces its legacy DirectX results, which is typical of an architecture optimized for current workloads.

For the Intel part, the absence of any benchmark scores means the database cannot provide a comparative figure. The only quantitative comparisons available are the architectural specifications, which place it firmly in integrated-class territory. Its FP16 output of 4.710 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) is still less than one-eighth of the RTX 4070 Ti's FP16 output of 40.09 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). The RTX 4070 Ti also carries 240 tensor cores and 60 RT cores, while the Intel part has 4 RT cores and no listed tensor core count.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from entirely different design philosophies. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's foundry, using the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with Ada Lovelace architecture and a GeForce 40-series designation. Intel's process node is smaller, but the design targets completely different power envelopes.

The RTX 4070 Ti has 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². Intel's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database. The RTX 4070 Ti is a discrete dual-slot card measuring 285 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 42 mm in width. It requires a 1x 16-pin power connector and has a suggested PSU rating of 600 W. The Intel part is an integrated graphics processor with a slot width of IGP, no power connectors, and a TDP of 25 W. The RTX 4070 Ti has a TDP of 285 W, an 11.4x difference in power draw.

Memory configurations could not be more different. The RTX 4070 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, with 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth and a memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The Intel part uses system shared memory, with system shared type, bus width, and bandwidth that is system dependent. No dedicated VRAM exists on the Intel chip. The RTX 4070 Ti connects via PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel part uses an IGP bus interface.

Shader resources show the scale of the gap. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The Intel part has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. That is a 15x difference in shading units, a 7.5x difference in TMUs, and a 5x difference in ROPs. RT core counts are 60 versus 4, and tensor cores are 240 versus none listed. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ: the RTX 4070 Ti has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the Intel part's outputs are portable device dependent.

The RTX 4070 Ti is marked end-of-life in the database, with a release date of January 2023, a predecessor in GeForce 30, and a successor in GeForce 50. The Intel part is active, with a release date of January 2026. The RTX 4070 Ti has a launch MSRP of 799 USD. The Intel part has no launch MSRP listed.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti wins every category where both parts have recorded data. In FP32 compute, it is 17x ahead. In texture rate, 8.5x ahead. In pixel rate, 5.7x ahead. It has 15x more shading units, 7.5x more TMUs, and 5x more ROPs. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is a dedicated pool, whereas the Intel part relies on system shared memory with system dependent performance. The RTX 4070 Ti's tensor cores enable AI acceleration that the Intel part does not list, and its 60 RT cores outnumber the Intel part's 4 by a factor of 15.

The Intel part wins on power efficiency. Its 25 W TDP is 260 W lower than the RTX 4070 Ti's 285 W. It requires no power connectors, no external PSU, and no PCIe slot. It is an IGP, meaning it fits into a mobile platform with no additional cooling or board space. The RTX 4070 Ti is a dual-slot card that needs a 600 W PSU and a 16-pin connector. For a thin-and-light laptop or a compact embedded design, the Intel part is the only viable option. The RTX 4070 Ti cannot function in such a form factor.

The database's percentile data reinforces the split. The RTX 4070 Ti sits at the 84th percentile of all GPUs, while the Intel part is at the 50th percentile, but that ranking is not supported by any benchmark entries. The RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals are all high-end parts, with deltas under 2%, indicating it competes in the top tier of desktop GPUs. The Intel part has no rivals listed, so the database provides no comparative context for it.

The Verdict

The data presents a one-sided comparison. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti outperforms the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile in every recorded metric: FP32 compute, pixel rate, texture rate, shading units, TMUs, ROPs, RT cores, and memory bandwidth. Its average benchmark score of 44795 and 84th percentile ranking place it among high-end discrete GPUs, with nearest rivals all within 2% of its score. The Intel part has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no rival data in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified beyond its specifications.

The selection depends entirely on the use case. For any task requiring sustained GPU throughput, high-resolution rendering, AI acceleration via tensor cores, or dedicated memory bandwidth, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only part with recorded data to support those workloads. Its 12 GB GDDR6X pool, 504.2 GB/s bandwidth, and 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 output are concrete advantages. The Intel part cannot match any of these figures.

For a mobile or power-constrained platform, the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile holds the advantage by design. Its 25 W TDP, IGP form factor, and lack of external power requirements make it suitable for systems where the RTX 4070 Ti physically cannot fit. The database records no performance data for the Intel part, so any claim of its capability must be inferred from its specifications alone. The RTX 4070 Ti is the clear choice for performance-oriented builds, while the Intel part is the only option among these two for integrated, low-power deployments.
