Analysis: Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded data for both accelerators shows no completed head-to-head benchmark runs, with zero wins recorded for either side. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX each hold a database percentile of 50 among all tracked GPUs, and both carry an average benchmark score of 0. This places them in a statistical tie in the aggregate rankings, but the absence of direct measurement data means the comparison must rest entirely on their documented hardware specifications rather than observed performance deltas.
The most significant computational advantage belongs to the Lisuan Tech LX MAX in raw FP32 throughput. Its 24.58 TFLOPS exceeds the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100's 22.22 TFLOPS by roughly 10.6%, a meaningful margin for general compute workloads that rely on single-precision arithmetic. The gap widens dramatically in half-precision work: the LX MAX delivers 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 under a 2:1 ratio, while the Intel part reaches only 22.22 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio. That gives the Lisuan part a 2.21x advantage in FP16 throughput, a decisive edge for machine learning training, inference, and scientific simulations that can exploit reduced precision.
Texture processing tells a different story. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 achieves 694.4 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s for the LX MAX, a 1.81x lead in texture fill rate. This stems from the Intel part's 448 texture mapping units compared to 192 on the Lisuan, combined with its higher boost clock of 1550 MHz versus the LX MAX's unspecified clock behavior. Pixel throughput is reversed: the LX MAX records 192.0 GPixel/s, while the Intel accelerator reports 0 MPixel/s, reflecting the Intel part's lack of display outputs and its server-oriented rasterization pipeline.
Memory bandwidth strongly favors the Intel part. Its 1.23 TB/s from 48 GB of HBM2e over an 8192-bit bus is 2.85x the LX MAX's 432.0 GB/s from 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit interface. The Intel accelerator also runs its memory at 1200 Mbps effective, though the LX MAX's 18 Gbps effective GDDR6 speed is higher per-pin. The Intel part's massive bus width compensates entirely, delivering far greater aggregate bandwidth for memory-bound workloads.
Where Each One Wins
The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is positioned for workloads that demand enormous memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 48 GB HBM2e pool is four times larger than the LX MAX's 12 GB GDDR6, and its 1.23 TB/s bandwidth enables large model weights, massive dataset streaming, and high-occupancy compute kernels that would stall on a narrower memory subsystem. The 8192-bit bus is the widest recorded in the database for either part, and the 448 TMUs give it a clear lead in texture-heavy rendering or filter operations. Its 56 ray tracing cores add hardware acceleration for ray-traced workloads, a feature entirely absent from the LX MAX's specification sheet.
The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in raw compute density and efficiency. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 show a 2:1 FP16 ratio, indicating dedicated half-precision hardware that the Intel part lacks. Built on a 6 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm node, the LX MAX achieves higher FP32 throughput while drawing 225 W TDP compared to 300 W for the Intel part, a 75 W power advantage. Its 96 ROPs enable 192.0 GPixel/s fill, making it suitable for rasterization tasks that require high pixel output, and its 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs allow direct display connectivity, which the Intel accelerator does not provide. The LX MAX also supports Vulkan 1.3 and DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part lists DirectX 12 (12_1) and no Vulkan API.
For floating-point density per watt, the LX MAX delivers approximately 0.109 TFLOPS/W in FP32, versus 0.074 TFLOPS/W for the Intel part, a 47% efficiency advantage. In FP16, the LX MAX reaches 0.218 TFLOPS/W versus 0.074 TFLOPS/W, a 2.95x efficiency lead. These ratios are derived directly from the recorded TDP and throughput figures.
Architecture Differences
The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses the Ponte Vecchio chip built on Intel's Generation 12.5 architecture, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The die spans 1280 mm² and packs 100,000 million transistors, yielding a density of 78.1 million transistors per mm². It belongs to the Data Center GPU (Ponte Vecchio) generation and uses a 1x 12-pin power connector with a suggested 700 W power supply. Its base clock is 1000 MHz with a boost of 1550 MHz, and it interfaces via PCIe 5.0 x16.
The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip under the TrueGPU architecture, part of the 7G100 generation. TSMC fabricates it on a 6 nm process, and it uses a 1x 16-pin power connector with a suggested 550 W power supply. Clock speeds for the LX MAX are not recorded in the database, so no direct comparison of base or boost frequencies is possible. It runs on PCIe 4.0 x16, one generation behind the Intel part's PCIe 5.0 interface.
Shading unit counts are close: 7168 on the Intel part versus 6144 on the LX MAX, an 16.7% difference in favor of Intel. However, the LX MAX's higher FP32 throughput per shading unit implies a different execution architecture. The Intel part has 448 TMUs and 56 RT cores but reports 0 ROPs, while the LX MAX has 192 TMUs and 96 ROPs with no RT cores listed. The Intel part's texture rate of 694.4 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s reflects both its TMU count and boost clock.
Memory architectures diverge sharply. The Intel part uses HBM2e with a 48 GB capacity and an 8192-bit bus, while the LX MAX uses GDDR6 with 12 GB and a 192-bit bus. The Intel part's memory clock is listed as 600 MHz with 1200 Mbps effective, while the LX MAX runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective. The Intel part has no display outputs; the LX MAX provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a.
