Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither product has any individual benchmark scores, average benchmark scores, or nearest rival data recorded. Both products sit at the 50th percentile against all GPUs in the database, though this percentile is based on no measured results and should be interpreted as a placeholder rather than a performance indicator.

Despite the absence of direct measurements, the recorded specifications allow for a clear comparative analysis. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 compute, which is approximately 17.8 times the 1,382.4 GFLOPS FP32 output of the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX also produces 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) versus 2.765 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) for the Intel part. Texture throughput shows a similar gap: 384.0 GTexel/s versus 43.20 GTexel/s, a factor of roughly 8.9. Pixel throughput differs by a factor of 13.3, with the Lisuan Tech LX MAX reaching 192.0 GPixel/s compared to 14.40 GPixel/s for the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile.

Memory bandwidth is another decisive differentiator. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, meaning its memory performance cannot be quantified independently. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX also operates its memory at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective data rate, while the Intel part's memory clock is listed as system shared with no independent value.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates two GPUs with fundamentally different design targets. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is positioned for scenarios requiring substantial compute and memory throughput: 24.58 TFLOPS FP32, 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 12 GB of GDDR6. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile, with 1,382.4 GFLOPS FP32 and system shared memory, is limited to low-power integrated graphics duties, confirmed by its 28 W TDP and IGP slot width.

For any workload that stresses raw rendering throughput, texture fill, or memory bandwidth, the Lisuan Tech LX MAX dominates by every recorded metric. Its 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate are orders of magnitude above the Intel part's 14.40 GPixel/s and 43.20 GTexel/s. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX also provides a dedicated 12 GB GDDR6 frame buffer, which removes reliance on system memory performance.

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile holds advantages only in integration and power envelope. At 28 W, it fits into portable devices where the 225 W Lisuan Tech LX MAX would be impractical. The Intel part also supports Vulkan 1.4, a newer API version than the 1.3 support on the Lisuan Tech LX MAX, and it is built on Intel's 10 nm process. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses TSMC's 6 nm process, which is a smaller process node.

Users selecting between these two should base the decision on the intended platform. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a dual-slot, 248 mm long discrete card requiring a 550 W suggested PSU and a 1x 16-pin power connector. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is an integrated processor with no power connector and no physical card footprint. The data cannot recommend one over the other without knowing the host system; it can only confirm that the Lisuan Tech LX MAX is overwhelmingly faster in every measured compute and memory category, while the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is the only option suitable for integration into a portable device.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is built on the Xe-LPG architecture, part of the Meteor Lake chip, and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Meteor Lake) generation. Its predecessor is listed as HD Graphics-M. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the TrueGPU architecture on the 7G106 chip and belongs to the 7G100 generation. It has no recorded predecessor.

The process node difference is significant: 10 nm at Intel for the Meteor Lake part versus 6 nm at TSMC for the 7G106. The smaller process node on the Lisuan Tech LX MAX allows for a substantially larger compute configuration: 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, compared to 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs on the Intel part. This 16x difference in shading units and 8x difference in TMUs directly explains the large gaps in FP32, texture, and pixel throughput.

Memory architecture also reflects different design philosophies. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile relies on system shared memory, with the memory clock, bus width, and bandwidth all marked as system dependent. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX integrates a dedicated 12 GB GDDR6 subsystem with a fixed 192-bit bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. This makes the Lisuan Tech LX MAX's memory performance predictable and independent of the host system, while the Intel part's memory performance varies with the platform.

Neither GPU records dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile lists its FP16 performance as 2.765 TFLOPS (2:1), and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX lists 49.15 TFLOPS (2:1), both indicating packed FP16 execution at twice the FP32 rate.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a discrete, dual-slot card with PCIe 4.0 x16 connectivity and 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is an integrated processor with Ring Bus connectivity, portable device dependent display outputs, and no physical card dimensions. The power delivery difference reflects this: 225 W TDP with a 1x 16-pin connector and 550 W suggested PSU for the discrete card, versus 28 W TDP with no connector for the integrated part.

Where Each One Wins

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in every performance category with recorded data. Its FP32 output of 24.58 TFLOPS is approximately 17.8 times higher than the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile's 1,382.4 GFLOPS. Its FP16 output of 49.15 TFLOPS is approximately 17.8 times higher than 2.765 TFLOPS. Texture fill rate is 384.0 GTexel/s versus 43.20 GTexel/s, and pixel fill rate is 192.0 GPixel/s versus 14.40 GPixel/s. The dedicated 12 GB GDDR6 memory with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth provides a fixed memory resource that the Intel part cannot match with system shared memory.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX also wins on API completeness for DirectX, supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) versus DirectX 12 (12_1) on the Intel part. It uses a smaller 6 nm TSMC process node, and its dual-slot form factor with PCIe 4.0 x16 indicates a desktop-oriented discrete card.

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile wins in integration and power efficiency. Its 28 W TDP is dramatically lower than 225 W, and it requires no power connector and no suggested PSU. It is an IGP, meaning it fits into portable devices without adding a card. It supports Vulkan 1.4, one version newer than the Lisuan Tech LX MAX's Vulkan 1.3. Its 10 nm process is larger than 6 nm, but the integrated design eliminates the physical footprint and power supply requirements of the discrete card.

The Intel part also holds a release date advantage, having been released on 2023-12-13, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX is recorded with a 2026-03-16 release date. For scenarios constrained by physical space, thermal budget, or portable device integration, the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is the only viable option. For scenarios requiring maximum compute, memory bandwidth, or rendering throughput, the Lisuan Tech LX MAX is the clear choice based on all recorded specifications.
