Analysis: Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 serve fundamentally different workloads, and the recorded data makes that split explicit. The Intel part is a compute-oriented accelerator with a massive memory footprint and raw throughput numbers that dwarf the NVIDIA card in parallel processing metrics. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is a client-focused graphics card with display outputs, a conventional dual-slot form factor, and a much lower power envelope.

Benchmark results, as recorded in the database, show no direct head-to-head scores for these two products. However, the specification data indicates where each would dominate. The Intel Max 1350 delivers 44.44 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 44.44 TFLOPS of FP16 performance, both at a 1:1 ratio. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 delivers 22.06 TFLOPS of FP32 and 22.06 TFLOPS of FP16, also at 1:1. That gives the Intel part exactly double the floating-point throughput in both precisions. For any workload that scales with raw compute, such as AI training, scientific simulation, or large-scale data processing, the Intel part holds a clear mathematical advantage.

The memory subsystem tells a similar story. The Intel Max 1350 carries 96 GB of HBM2e memory across an 8192-bit bus, producing 2.46 TB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s. That is a 34-fold difference in capacity and an 8.5-fold difference in bandwidth. Workloads that require large datasets resident in memory, or that stream data at high rates, will favor the Intel accelerator without contest.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 wins in the client and graphics domain. It has display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a), while the Intel Max 1350 has no outputs at all. The NVIDIA card also supports Vulkan 1.4 and DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), whereas the Intel part lists DirectX 12 (12_1) and no Vulkan support in the database. For gaming, rendering to a screen, or any interactive graphics workload, the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is the only viable option of the two. The Intel part is an OAM module, not a plug-and-play graphics card for a desktop system.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from completely different design philosophies. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 uses the Ponte Vecchio chip built on Intel's 10 nm process, fabricated by Intel itself. The die measures 1280 mm² and contains 100,000 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 78.1M per mm². This is a massive, multi-die accelerator designed for data center compute density.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 uses the AD104 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process. The die is 294 mm² with 35,800 million transistors, giving a density of 121.8M per mm². NVIDIA achieves higher transistor density on a smaller die with a much lower transistor count. The architectural priorities diverge sharply from there.

Intel's part has 14,336 shading units, 896 texture mapping units, and 112 ray tracing cores. It reports 0 ROPs and a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s, confirming it is not designed for rasterization output. The texture rate is 1,388.8 GTexel/s. NVIDIA's part has 4,352 shading units, 136 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 34 RT cores, plus 136 tensor cores. Its pixel rate is 121.7 GPixel/s and texture rate is 344.8 GTexel/s. The presence of ROPs and a non-zero pixel rate on the NVIDIA card indicates a full graphics pipeline, while the Intel card omits that stage entirely.

Clock behavior also differs. The Intel Max 1350 runs at a 750 MHz base and 1550 MHz boost. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 runs at a 2310 MHz base and 2535 MHz boost. NVIDIA's chip operates at roughly 1.6 to 1.7 times the clock speed of the Intel part, but the Intel part compensates with far more execution resources. Memory clocks differ as well: Intel uses 1200 MHz with 2.4 Gbps effective on HBM2e, while NVIDIA uses 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective on GDDR6.

The API support reflects the intended markets. Intel lists DirectX 12 (12_1) and OpenGL 4.6, with no Vulkan entry. NVIDIA lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The 12_2 feature level on the NVIDIA card includes advanced ray tracing and shading features that the Intel part does not claim.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: these are not competing products in the same category. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 is a compute accelerator with no display output, no Vulkan support, and a 450 W TDP. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is a client graphics card with display outputs, full graphics API support, and a 160 W TDP.

For compute workloads, the Intel part delivers 44.44 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16, 96 GB of HBM2e memory, and 2.46 TB/s of bandwidth. Those figures are 2x, 12x, and 8.5x the respective values on the NVIDIA card. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 cannot match that capacity or throughput. Any database entry for large-scale numerical work, machine learning training, or memory-bound data processing should point to the Intel accelerator.

For client graphics, the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is the only option with a functional display path. It has 48 ROPs, a 121.7 GPixel/s pixel rate, and DirectX 12 Ultimate support. The Intel part has zero ROPs, a zero pixel rate, and no display outputs. In a desktop or workstation context, the NVIDIA card is the usable product.

The production status also differs. Intel lists the Max 1350 as Active, while NVIDIA lists the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 as End-of-life. The Intel part has a successor listed as H3C Graphics, and the NVIDIA card has a successor in GeForce 50. The release dates show the Intel part launched on 2023-01-09, while the NVIDIA card launched on 2024-03-31. The database assigns both a 50th percentile rank among all GPUs, but that rank does not account for the different workload domains.

Q: What are the form factors?

A: The Intel Max 1350 is an OAM Module. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is a dual-slot card measuring 240 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark scores for these two products. Both have an average benchmark score of 0 and no entries in the head-to-head field. The wins counter shows 0 for both sides. This absence of measured results means the comparison must rely on the recorded specification data.

The clearest win for the Intel part is in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 figure of 44.44 TFLOPS is exactly 2.0 times the 22.06 TFLOPS of the RTX 4060 Ti AD104. The FP16 figures match that same 2.0 ratio, with the Intel part again at 44.44 TFLOPS versus 22.06 TFLOPS. No workload that is purely bound by floating-point math can favor the NVIDIA card on these numbers.

Memory bandwidth is another decisive Intel win. The 2.46 TB/s of the Max 1350 versus 288.0 GB/s for the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 represents an 8.5x advantage. Texture rate also favors Intel: 1,388.8 GTexel/s versus 344.8 GTexel/s, a 4.0x margin. The Intel part has 14,336 shading units versus 4,352, a 3.3x difference, and 896 TMUs versus 136, a 6.6x difference.

The NVIDIA card wins in pixel processing and client features. Its 121.7 GPixel/s pixel rate compares to 0 MPixel/s on the Intel part, an effectively infinite ratio. The 48 ROPs on the NVIDIA card versus 0 on the Intel part confirms the NVIDIA card alone can complete the rendering pipeline. Clock speeds also favor NVIDIA: 2535 MHz boost versus 1550 MHz boost, a 1.6x advantage. The base clock of 2310 MHz versus 750 MHz is a 3.1x margin.

Transistor density is another NVIDIA advantage. The AD104 chip packs 121.8M transistors per mm² on a 294 mm² die, versus 78.1M per mm² on Intel's 1280 mm² die. The Intel part uses 2.8 times more die area and 2.8 times more transistors, but the NVIDIA chip achieves higher density on a smaller, more efficient process.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 also has tensor cores (136 of them), which the Intel part does not list. This gives NVIDIA a dedicated hardware path for AI inference workloads that Intel's architecture does not claim. The NVIDIA card also lists a lower TDP of 160 W versus 450 W, and a suggested PSU of 450 W versus 850 W.
