Intel Arc Pro A60 vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro A60 and Lisuan Tech LX MAX occupy different positions in the performance spectrum. The Arc Pro A60 has recorded benchmark scores in the database, with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 63485 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 57166. Its average benchmark score of 60326 places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs. The LX MAX, however, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and sits at the 50th percentile.

The Arc Pro A60 wins in terms of established, measured performance. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 with an average score of 60347 and a delta of 0 percent, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 with a score of 60140 and a delta of 0.3 percent, the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M with a score of 61896 and a delta of -2.5 percent, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 with a score of 58657 and a delta of 2.8 percent. This places the Arc Pro A60 within a tight cluster of competing workstation cards, effectively matching the RTX 4090 in average score, slightly ahead of the Pro Vega 48, and within a few percentage points of the other rivals.

The LX MAX wins on raw compute specifications. Its FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS is nearly three times the Arc Pro A60's 8.397 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s both exceed the Arc Pro A60's 262.4 GTexel/s and 131.2 GPixel/s respectively. The LX MAX also has higher memory bandwidth at 432.0 GB/s versus 384.0 GB/s. However, without measured benchmark results, these specification advantages remain theoretical.

The use-case split is clear. The Arc Pro A60 is the proven choice for applications where measured performance matters, such as existing workstation software with known compatibility. The LX MAX is the speculative choice for workloads that can exploit its much larger compute and texture resources, assuming driver support materializes.

Architecture Differences

The Arc Pro A60 uses Intel's DG2-256 chip built on the Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist Pro Series generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The LX MAX uses a 7G106 chip built on the TrueGPU architecture, part of the 7G100 generation. It is also fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but its transistor count and die size are unknown.

The Arc Pro A60 has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 16 dedicated ray tracing cores. The LX MAX has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The LX MAX does not list dedicated ray tracing cores, whereas the Arc Pro A60 includes them. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate with feature level 12_2 and OpenGL 4.6. The Arc Pro A60 supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3.

Clock behavior differs significantly. The Arc Pro A60 has a base clock of 900 MHz and a boost clock of 2050 MHz. The LX MAX has no base or boost clock listed. Memory clocks also differ: the Arc Pro A60 runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective, while the LX MAX runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

Display outputs differ as well. The Arc Pro A60 provides four DisplayPort 2.0 connectors, while the LX MAX provides four DisplayPort 1.4a connectors. The LX MAX uses a 16-pin power connector, while the Arc Pro A60 lists no power connector type. The Arc Pro A60 is a single-slot card; the LX MAX is a dual-slot card measuring 248 mm in length, 118 mm in height, and 48 mm in width.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Arc Pro A60 and the LX MAX. The wins count for each item is zero. This absence of measured data means the comparison must rely on recorded scores for the Arc Pro A60 and specification-derived estimates for the LX MAX.

The Arc Pro A60's Geekbench OpenCL score of 63485 and Vulkan score of 57166 demonstrate its measured capability. Its average benchmark score of 60326 puts it directly alongside the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, which scored 60347, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scored 61896, which is 2.5 percent higher than the Arc Pro A60. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scored 60140, 0.3 percent lower. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scored 58657, 2.8 percent lower.

For the LX MAX, the FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS suggests substantially higher raw compute than the Arc Pro A60's 8.397 TFLOPS. The LX MAX's texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s is 46 percent higher than the Arc Pro A60's 262.4 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is 46 percent higher than 131.2 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s is 12.5 percent higher than 384.0 GB/s. These figures point to a card designed for throughput-heavy workloads, but without benchmark scores, the practical impact remains unverified.

The recorded data indicates the Arc Pro A60 performs at a level consistent with high-end workstation GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD. The LX MAX's specifications would place it in a higher performance tier if realized in practice, but the database shows no confirmation.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward choice based on priorities. The Intel Arc Pro A60 is the verified performer. Its average benchmark score of 60326 places it at the 88th percentile, matching the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 within a 0 percent delta and beating the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 by 0.3 percent and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 by 2.8 percent. It trails the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M by 2.5 percent. This is a card with proven, measured results in the database.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX presents a specification sheet that promises far higher throughput. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32, 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate, 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth all exceed the Arc Pro A60 by substantial margins. Its 6144 shading units and 192 TMUs suggest a design aimed at compute-heavy and texture-heavy workloads. However, the database records no benchmark scores for this card, and its average score is zero. The 50th percentile ranking reflects the absence of data, not measured performance.

For a builder who needs a GPU with confirmed results today, the Arc Pro A60 is the defensible pick. It has measured scores, established driver support through its DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 APIs, and a lower power envelope at 130 W with a 300 W suggested PSU. For a builder who prioritizes raw specifications and is willing to accept unverified performance, the LX MAX offers a larger compute and memory bandwidth footprint, but only at a higher power draw of 225 W and a 550 W suggested PSU. The LX MAX also lacks listed ray tracing cores, which the Arc Pro A60 includes.

The release dates also differ. The Arc Pro A60 launched in 2023, while the LX MAX has a 2026 release date. The Arc Pro A60's longer market presence aligns with its measured status. The LX MAX's future-dated release means its specifications have not yet translated into database benchmarks. Based strictly on recorded data, the Arc Pro A60 is the reliable choice, while the LX MAX remains an unproven specification sheet.
