AMD Radeon 860M vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

AMD Radeon 860M vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile

The AMD Radeon 860M and Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile represent two very different approaches to integrated graphics. The database records show the AMD part with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 22759 and a Vulkan score of 30043, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark entries. The AMD Radeon 860M sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs in the database, whereas the Intel part is at the 50th percentile. The average benchmark score for the AMD Radeon 860M is 26401, derived from its two benchmark results, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has an average score of zero due to the absence of any recorded tests. These figures establish a clear performance hierarchy before any detailed comparison begins.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark section between these two integrated GPUs is empty in the database, meaning no direct comparative tests have been recorded. However, the individual benchmark results for the AMD Radeon 860M provide a basis for assessing its standing. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 22759 and the Vulkan score of 30043 place the AMD part firmly in a performance tier that the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile cannot approach based on its missing benchmark data.

The AMD Radeon 860M's average benchmark score of 26401 places it in close proximity to several discrete and professional GPUs. The nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 with an average score of 26421, a delta of -0.1 percent relative to the AMD part. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 records an average score of 26331, which is 0.3 percent lower than the AMD Radeon 860M. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary shows an average score of 26553, putting it 0.6 percent above the AMD Radeon 860M. Finally, the NVIDIA RTX A4000 achieves 26683, a 1.1 percent advantage over the AMD part. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating that the AMD Radeon 860M delivers performance comparable to these established GPUs, despite being an integrated solution.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, by contrast, has no rivals listed and no benchmark scores, so no comparative delta values exist. The data simply shows that the AMD Radeon 860M has measurable performance in both OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, while the Intel part lacks any recorded results. The Vulkan score of 30043 for the AMD Radeon 860M exceeds its OpenCL score by roughly 32 percent, suggesting that the architecture responds differently to these two APIs. For the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, the absence of any scores means no such analysis is possible from the recorded data.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 860M wins in every measurable category because the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark results. The AMD part demonstrates a clear advantage in raw compute tasks, as shown by its Geekbench OpenCL score of 22759. This result indicates strong general-purpose compute performance, which is useful for workloads such as video encoding, physics simulations, and other OpenCL-accelerated applications. The Vulkan score of 30043 for the AMD Radeon 860M suggests even stronger performance in graphics-centric workloads, as Vulkan is commonly used in modern games and rendering applications.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile cannot claim any benchmark wins because the database contains no scores for this GPU. Its percentile ranking of 50 among all GPUs is a positional marker, but without actual scores, it does not translate into a measurable performance advantage. The AMD Radeon 860M's percentile of 72 places it above the median GPU in the database, while the Intel part sits exactly at the median. This percentile difference reinforces the AMD part's dominance in the recorded data.

For specific use cases, the AMD Radeon 860M's FP32 throughput of 3.072 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput of 3.072 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio provide a solid foundation for both single-precision and half-precision workloads. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile delivers FP32 performance of 384.0 GFLOPS and FP16 performance of 768.0 GFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, which is substantially lower in raw compute terms. The AMD part also features 8 ray tracing cores, a capability entirely absent from the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, which has no RT cores listed. This gives the AMD Radeon 860M a distinct advantage in ray-traced workloads, should such tasks be attempted on integrated graphics.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 860M is built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture and uses the Krackan Point chip from the Navi III IGP generation, specifically the Strix Point Mobile variant. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture with the Twin Lake chip from the HD Graphics-T generation, produced on a 10 nm process at Intel. These architectural foundations explain many of the performance differences observed in the database.

The AMD Radeon 860M integrates 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 render output units. It also includes 8 ray tracing cores, making it the only one of the two with hardware support for ray tracing. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 4 render output units, with no ray tracing cores listed. The shading unit count difference, 512 versus 192, represents a ratio of roughly 2.67 to 1 in favor of the AMD part. This disparity directly impacts pixel throughput, where the AMD Radeon 860M achieves 48.00 GPixel/s compared to 4.000 GPixel/s for the Intel part, a 12-fold difference. Texture fill rates show a similar gap, with the AMD Radeon 860M delivering 96.00 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s for the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, an 8-fold difference.

The memory subsystems for both GPUs are system shared, with no dedicated VRAM. The AMD Radeon 860M lists memory bandwidth as system dependent, as does the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. The bus interface differs significantly, with the AMD part using PCIe 4.0 x8 while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus. This interface difference may affect how each GPU accesses system memory, though the database does not provide specific bandwidth numbers for either part.

Clock speeds also reflect the architectural priorities. The AMD Radeon 860M has a base clock of 600 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1000 MHz. The AMD part's boost clock is three times higher than the Intel part's boost clock, contributing to its superior compute throughput. The thermal design power for the AMD Radeon 860M is 15 W, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile consumes 6 W, indicating a power-focused design for the Intel part.

Both GPUs support DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, but the versions differ. The AMD Radeon 860M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The DirectX 12 Ultimate designation for the AMD part implies support for features such as ray tracing and mesh shaders, which aligns with its inclusion of dedicated RT cores.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that the AMD Radeon 860M is the superior performer in every measured aspect. Its average benchmark score of 26401 places it among discrete GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 and RTX 5060, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no benchmark data at all. The AMD part's 72nd percentile ranking versus the Intel part's 50th percentile further underscores this gap.

The AMD Radeon 860M delivers 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 8 ray tracing cores, and a boost clock of 3000 MHz, all within a 15 W thermal envelope. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile offers 384.0 GFLOPS of FP32 performance, no ray tracing cores, and a boost clock of 1000 MHz, operating at 6 W.
