AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D vs Intel Arc Graphics 24EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D versus the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. The Intel part has one recorded benchmark result, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it scores 733 points. That score places the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU in the 3rd percentile of all GPUs recorded in the database, meaning the vast majority of recorded graphics hardware performs better. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D has no benchmark entries and an average benchmark score of zero, so direct numerical comparison is not possible from the recorded data.

What can be compared is the measured performance of the Intel iGPU against its nearest recorded rivals. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU scores identically to the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU at 733 points, with a delta of 0 percent. It also matches the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU at 733 points, again 0 percent delta. These three Intel integrated graphics configurations appear to be indistinguishable in this specific test. Against the AMD Radeon HD 6470M, the Intel part leads by 1.4 percent, with the AMD mobile part scoring 723 points. Against the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M, the Intel iGPU trails by 2.4 percent, with the NVIDIA part scoring 751 points.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU thus sits in a narrow performance band around the 733-point mark. Its closest rivals are all within a few percentage points, and the spread from the slowest (AMD Radeon HD 6470M at 723) to the fastest (NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M at 751) is only about 3.9 percent. This indicates that the Intel iGPU delivers performance typical of entry-level graphics hardware from roughly a decade ago.

The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm its position relative to the Intel part or any other GPU. The data gap is notable: the AMD product is a discrete workstation card with a 150 W TDP, while the Intel product is an integrated GPU with a 65 W TDP and system-shared memory.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU wins in the only recorded benchmark comparison available. Its 733-point 3DMark Steel Nomad score is a real measurement, and it outperforms the AMD Radeon HD 6470M by 1.4 percent. It also ties both the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and the 64EU, which suggests that in this particular DX12 workload, the 24EU configuration is not bottlenecked by its lower execution unit count.

The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmarks. However, the hardware specifications indicate a completely different performance class. The AMD card delivers 24.82 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Intel iGPU delivers 768.0 GFLOPS, a 32.3x difference. The AMD card has 32 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory with 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel part relies on system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. The AMD card also has 48 ray tracing cores, while the Intel iGPU lists none.

For use cases, the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is suited to basic display output, light 2D workloads, and undemanding legacy 3D applications. Its 65 W TDP and IGP slot width mean it draws power from the host CPU package and requires no additional cooling or power connectors. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D, with its 150 W TDP, single-slot design, and 16-pin power connector, is built for sustained professional workloads such as rendering, simulation, and AI inference, though the database does not include benchmark results to quantify those capabilities.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different architecture generations and process nodes. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D uses the RDNA 4.0 architecture on the Navi 48 chip, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses the Xe-LPG architecture on the Arrow Lake-S chip, manufactured on a 3 nm process at the same foundry. Despite the Intel chip being on a newer node, the transistor counts tell opposite stories: the AMD chip packs 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, for a density of 151.0 million transistors per mm². The Intel chip contains 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, for 73.3 million per mm².

The execution resources differ by an order of magnitude. The AMD card has 3,072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The Intel iGPU has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 6 ROPs. The AMD card also has 48 dedicated ray tracing cores; the Intel part lists no RT cores. Neither part lists tensor cores in the database.

Clock behavior also differs. The AMD card runs at a 1080 MHz base clock with a 2020 MHz boost clock, and the game clock is listed at 1080 MHz. The Intel iGPU has a much lower 300 MHz base clock but boosts to 2000 MHz. Memory is the biggest structural difference: the AMD card uses 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus at 2250 MHz, yielding 18 Gbps effective speed and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel iGPU uses system-shared memory with a system-shared bus and system-dependent bandwidth.

The AMD card is a discrete PCIe 5.0 x16 device with a 241 mm length, 111 mm height, and 19 mm width. The Intel iGPU is an integrated part on a ring bus, with no dimensions, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The AMD card requires a 450 W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin connector. The Intel part has no such requirements.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card has a single DisplayPort 2.1a output; the Intel iGPU display output is motherboard dependent.

The release dates differ by roughly 14 months. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU launched on 2024-10-23, while the AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D launched on 2025-12-10. Both are listed as Active in production status. The AMD card's predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega; the Intel part's predecessor is HD Graphics. Neither has a recorded successor.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one direct performance conclusion: the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has a measurable 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 733, and it sits at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all within 2.4 percent, which places it at the very bottom of the database's performance distribution. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D has no benchmark scores, so its measured performance cannot be stated.

The hardware specifications, however, show two products aimed at entirely different roles. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is an integrated GPU that shares system memory, draws 65 W as part of the CPU package, and has no discrete cooling or power requirements. It is a basic graphics solution for systems where a dedicated card is unnecessary. The AMD Radeon AI PRO 9600D is a 150 W discrete workstation card with 32 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, 48 RT cores, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. Its 24.82 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is 32.3x the Intel part's 768.0 GFLOPS.

The data suggests that the AMD part belongs in a different performance class entirely, but the absence of benchmark entries means the database cannot confirm how it behaves in real workloads. The Intel part's 3rd percentile ranking is unambiguous: it is one of the slowest GPUs in the database, comparable to the AMD Radeon HD 6470M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M, both mobile parts from an earlier era.

A builder choosing between these two is not choosing between two similar products. The Intel iGPU is a free, low-power display adapter for a desktop CPU. The AMD card is a professional compute device that requires a 450 W PSU, a 16-pin power connector, and a PCIe 5.0 slot. The recorded benchmark data favors the Intel part only because it has a recorded score, but the specification gap is enormous. The AMD part is the only one of the two that can be treated as a serious graphics compute resource, based strictly on the hardware numbers in the database.
