AMD Radeon RX 6550S vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct benchmark scores for either the AMD Radeon RX 6550S or the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. Both entries list zero benchmark results, zero wins in head-to-head comparisons, and identical percentile rankings at 50th percentile versus all GPUs. The absence of measured performance data means no direct numerical comparison can be made from the database. What can be analyzed are the architectural specifications that determine theoretical performance ceilings.

The AMD Radeon RX 6550S delivers 4.915 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile delivers 384.0 GFLOPS. The AMD part offers roughly 12.8 times the raw single-precision throughput based on these recorded figures. Texture rate shows a similar gap: 153.6 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s, a 12.8-fold difference. Pixel throughput stands at 76.80 GPixel/s for AMD versus 4.000 GPixel/s for Intel, a 19.2-fold advantage in fill rate terms.

Clock speeds reinforce this disparity. The AMD GPU operates at a 2000 MHz base clock and 2400 MHz boost, with a 2170 MHz game clock. The Intel part runs at 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost. The boost clock difference alone is 1400 MHz in favor of AMD. Memory bandwidth amplifies the gap further: the RX 6550S uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus delivering 128.0 GB/s, while the Intel solution uses System Shared memory with System Dependent bandwidth. No fixed bandwidth figure exists for the Intel part, so the comparison is qualitative: dedicated GDDR6 versus shared system memory.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 6550S wins decisively on every recorded compute metric. Its 1024 shading units outnumber the Intel part's 192 by a factor of 5.3. TMUs stand at 64 versus 12, a 5.3-fold difference. ROPs number 32 versus 4, an 8-fold gap. The RX 6550S also includes 16 dedicated ray tracing cores, a feature entirely absent from the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, which lists no RT cores at all.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins on power efficiency. Its TDP is recorded at 6 W, compared to 50 W for the AMD part. That is an 8.3-fold difference in power draw. For systems where thermal envelope is the primary constraint, the Intel solution consumes far less energy. The Intel part also benefits from a more recent release date: December 31, 2024, versus January 3, 2023 for the AMD GPU. The database classifies both as Active production status.

Process technology differs significantly. The AMD chip uses a 6 nm process at TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The AMD chip integrates 5,400 million transistors on a 107 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 50.5M per mm². Intel's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so no density comparison is possible from the recorded data.

Architecture Differences

The Radeon RX 6550S belongs to the Radeon RX 6000 series and uses the Navi 24 chip built on RDNA 2.0 architecture. Its generation is listed as Navi Mobile (RX 6000M), with Polaris Mobile as its predecessor. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Twin Lake chip built on Xe-LP architecture, falling under the HD Graphics-T (Twin Lake) generation. No predecessor is recorded for the Intel part.

The AMD GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). This indicates a higher DirectX feature level for the AMD solution. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 6550S uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 bus interface, while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus. Both are classified as IGP slot width, meaning they are integrated into the host system rather than discrete add-in cards.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The AMD GPU has dedicated 4 GB GDDR6 memory with a 64-bit bus and fixed 128.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel solution uses System Shared memory, with its size, type, and bus width all listed as System Shared, and bandwidth described as System Dependent. The Intel part's memory clock is also System Shared, while AMD's memory clock is 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective data rate.

The RX 6550S has no power connectors and no suggested PSU listed, consistent with its integrated nature. The Intel part likewise lists no power connectors. Both use Portable Device Dependent display outputs. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP. The RX 6550S has no successor listed; the Intel part also has no successor recorded.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded specifications, the AMD Radeon RX 6550S is the significantly more capable GPU in absolute performance terms. Every measured compute metric favors AMD: FP32 throughput is 4.915 TFLOPS versus 384.0 GFLOPS, texture rate is 153.6 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s, and pixel rate is 76.80 GPixel/s versus 4.000 GPixel/s. The 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 16 RT cores dwarf the Intel part's 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. The 1400 MHz boost clock advantage and dedicated GDDR6 memory with 128.0 GB/s bandwidth provide additional headroom.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins on power draw. At 6 W TDP, it consumes 44 W less than the RX 6550S's 50 W TDP. This makes the Intel part suitable for extremely power-constrained portable systems where battery life or thermal limits take priority over graphics performance. The Intel part also has a newer release date by roughly two years, though both remain Active in production status.

The data does not include benchmark scores, so the actual performance gap in real workloads cannot be quantified. However, the specification gap is so large across every compute metric that the RX 6550S is clearly positioned for gaming and graphics-intensive tasks, while the Intel 24EU Mobile is positioned for basic display output and light workloads. Users requiring ray tracing support should choose the AMD part, as it has 16 dedicated RT cores while the Intel part has none. Users prioritizing minimum power consumption with no expectation of gaming performance should choose the Intel part.

The percentile rankings for both GPUs are identical at 50th percentile versus all GPUs, but this reflects the absence of benchmark data rather than equivalent performance. The average benchmark score for both is 0, further indicating no measured results exist in the database.
