AMD Radeon RX 6450M vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database entries for the AMD Radeon RX 6450M and the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile show no overlapping benchmark submissions, so direct comparison scores are not available in the current dataset. Instead, the analysis must rely on the architectural specifications and derived throughput metrics recorded for each part, which indicate a substantial performance gulf.

The AMD Radeon RX 6450M delivers 3.779 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile delivers 384.0 GFLOPS. That places the AMD part at roughly 9.8 times the raw floating-point throughput of the Intel solution. In texture processing, the RX 6450M reaches 118.1 GTexel/s against 12.00 GTexel/s for the Intel part, again a near tenfold advantage. Pixel throughput shows a similar pattern: 78.72 GPixel/s for the AMD GPU versus 4.000 GPixel/s for the Intel iGPU, a factor of approximately 19.7. These are not marginal differences; they represent entirely different performance classes.

Memory bandwidth further separates the two. The RX 6450M uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, delivering 128.0 GB/s. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile relies on System Shared memory with System Dependent bandwidth, which cannot match dedicated GDDR6 in sustained throughput. The AMD part also runs at significantly higher clocks, with a 2000 MHz base and 2460 MHz boost, while the Intel part operates at a 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost. Even the AMD "game" clock of 2220 MHz exceeds the Intel boost clock by more than double.

The RX 6450M includes 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. The AMD GPU also integrates 12 ray tracing cores, whereas the Intel part lists none. DirectX support favors AMD as well: the RX 6450M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

In the absence of direct benchmark scores, the specification sheet alone establishes the RX 6450M as the dominant part across every measurable compute and graphics metric. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is designed for minimal power consumption, not performance parity.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that the AMD Radeon RX 6450M is the superior graphics processor for any workload that demands compute throughput, texture filtering, pixel fill, or ray tracing. Its FP32 performance is roughly 9.8 times that of the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, and its pixel rate is nearly 20 times higher. For gaming, 3D rendering, or any GPU-accelerated application, the RX 6450M is the only viable choice between the two.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, however, operates at a 6 W TDP compared to 50 W for the AMD part. That is an 8.3-fold difference in power budget. The Intel solution is built for ultra-low-power devices where battery life and thermal constraints take priority over graphical capability. Its 192 shading units and 4 ROPs are sufficient for basic display output, video playback, and light 2D workloads, but not for modern 3D gaming or compute tasks.

The production status for both parts is Active, and both are marked as IGP (integrated graphics processor) slot width. The AMD part uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 bus interface, while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus. Neither part has a launch MSRP recorded in the database, so no price-based analysis is possible.

From a pure performance standpoint, the RX 6450M wins every recorded category. From an efficiency standpoint, the Intel part consumes far less power but delivers far less performance. The choice depends entirely on the target device class: the RX 6450M fits mobile systems that can accommodate a 50 W GPU, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile suits ultra-portable, fanless, or battery-constrained designs.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 6450M wins in every performance-oriented category recorded in the database. Its 3.779 TFLOPS FP32 throughput handles compute-heavy workloads such as 3D rendering, video encoding, and GPU-accelerated applications. The 12 ray tracing cores enable hardware-accelerated ray-traced lighting in supported games and applications, which the Intel part cannot do at all. The 128.0 GB/s dedicated memory bandwidth provides consistent performance without depending on system RAM speed or availability.

The RX 6450M's 78.72 GPixel/s pixel rate and 118.1 GTexel/s texture rate make it suitable for modern game rendering at reasonable resolutions and detail settings. Its 768 shading units provide substantial parallelism for shader-heavy workloads. The DirectX 12 Ultimate support ensures compatibility with the latest graphics features, while the 12_2 feature level allows access to advanced rendering techniques.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins in power efficiency and system integration. Its 6 W TDP allows deployment in ultra-low-power devices where the 50 W TDP of the RX 6450M would be impractical. The System Shared memory architecture eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM, reducing cost and complexity in basic mobile systems. The Ring Bus interface integrates directly with the host processor, simplifying system design.

The Intel part's 192 shading units and 12 TMUs are adequate for basic display output, 2D interfaces, video decode, and lightweight productivity tasks. Its 4 ROPs cap pixel throughput at 4.000 GPixel/s, which is sufficient for standard desktop resolutions but not for high-refresh gaming. The 384.0 GFLOPS FP32 rate handles simple compute tasks but falls far short of the RX 6450M's capability.

The release dates place the Intel part newer, with a 2024-12-31 date versus 2023-01-03 for the AMD part. Both are listed as Active in production status. The RX 6450M belongs to the Radeon RX 6000 series with the Navi Mobile (RX 6000M) generation, while the Intel part belongs to the HD Graphics-T (Twin Lake) generation.

For any workload that requires graphics acceleration beyond basic display, the RX 6450M is the clear choice. For ultra-portable devices where power draw is the primary constraint and only minimal graphics capability is needed, the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile serves its purpose. The database shows no overlapping benchmark results, but the specification differences are so large that benchmark confirmation would only reinforce the conclusion.
