AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs Intel Arc Graphics 24EU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a stark performance gap between the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP and the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. The AMD part delivers an average benchmark score of 63,830 across its two recorded tests (Geekbench OpenCL at 88,183 and Geekbench Vulkan at 39,476). The Intel integrated solution, by contrast, records a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733, giving it an average benchmark score of 733. That difference places the AMD card at the 89th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Intel iGPU sits at the 3rd percentile.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is roughly 87 times higher in average benchmark score than the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU. The compute-oriented Geekbench OpenCL result of 88,183 for the AMD card reflects its 24.99 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, whereas the Intel part manages 768.0 GFLOPS of FP32. The AMD card also produces 24.99 TFLOPS of FP16 (1:1 ratio), while the Intel solution achieves 1.536 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. These are not close figures by any measure.

The nearest rivals in the database confirm the positioning. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP sits within 0.6% of the NVIDIA CMP 30HX (63,842 average, 0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 7600M (63,775, 0.1% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (63,693, 0.2% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 (64,212, -0.6% delta). The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, meanwhile, matches the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 64EU (both 733, 0% delta), stays 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6470M (723), and trails the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M (751) by 2.4%.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share almost nothing architecturally. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, part of the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 149.2M per mm². The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip with Xe-LPG architecture from the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process, also at TSMC, with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, for a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The smaller process node does not compensate for the massively different transistor budgets.

The AMD card is a discrete, dual-slot solution with a 140 W TDP, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested 300 W power supply. It connects via PCIe 5.0 x16. The Intel part is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 65 W TDP, no power connectors, and a Ring Bus interface. It draws from system memory, with its bandwidth listed as system dependent. The AMD card has its own 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth at 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective). The Intel solution uses system shared memory with system shared bus width.

The compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 6 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed. The clock behavior is also distinct: the AMD card runs at 1380 MHz base, 2450 MHz game, and 3050 MHz boost. The Intel part runs at 300 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost. Those base clocks are not comparable given the different roles, but the boost ceiling is notably lower on the Intel side.

Pixel and texture rates confirm the raw throughput gap. The AMD card produces 195.2 GPixel/s and 390.4 GTexel/s. The Intel iGPU produces 12.00 GPixel/s and 24.00 GTexel/s. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature levels are identical even though execution resources are not.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins in every recorded benchmark category. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,183 shows strong general compute capability, useful for OpenCL-accelerated workloads. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 39,476 indicates solid graphics API performance under Vulkan. The FP32 throughput of 24.99 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput of 24.99 TFLOPS at 1:1 ratio suggest balanced compute for workloads that can use either precision. The 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with 322.3 GB/s bandwidth provides ample memory capacity and speed for large datasets or high-resolution textures.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has no recorded wins in the head-to-head comparison, as the winsA and winsB fields both show zero. Its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733 does place it 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6470M and within 2.4% of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M, which indicates it sits in the entry-level integrated graphics tier. The Intel part does hold a transistor density advantage per watt in some sense, but the database does not record efficiency metrics, so no such claim can be made from the data.

The AMD card's nearest rivals are all discrete GPUs with average scores between 63,693 and 64,212, meaning it competes in the midrange discrete segment. The Intel iGPU's nearest rivals are other low-end integrated or very old discrete parts, meaning it competes at the absolute bottom of the performance spectrum. The use cases are therefore entirely distinct: the AMD card addresses workloads that need real graphics throughput, while the Intel part serves basic display output and light compute.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP and the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU serve completely different markets. The AMD card, with its 89th percentile ranking and average score of 63,830, is a discrete solution for users who need actual graphics performance. Its 2048 shading units, 32 ray tracing cores, 16 GB GDDR6, and 322.3 GB/s bandwidth position it for gaming and compute workloads that cannot run on integrated hardware. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, at the 3rd percentile with an average score of 733, is an integrated processor meant for basic display, video playback, and light 2D workloads. Its 192 shading units and 6 ROPs cannot match even the oldest discrete GPUs in the database, as shown by its near tie with the Radeon HD 6470M.

Users who need a discrete GPU with modern features, ray tracing hardware, and a large memory pool should choose the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP. The recorded benchmarks show it delivers 24.99 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. It is an active production product released in December 2025, succeeding the Navi III generation. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is also active, released in October 2024, but its role is confined to systems where a discrete GPU is not installed. The 65 W TDP and system shared memory indicate it is designed for basic functionality rather than performance.

The AMD card's nearest rival data shows it is statistically tied with the NVIDIA CMP 30HX, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56, with deltas of 0% to 0.2%. It is slightly behind the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 by 0.6%. This places it in a competitive midrange segment. The Intel iGPU's nearest rival data shows it is tied with the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 64EU, slightly ahead of the Radeon HD 6470M, and slightly behind the GeForce GT 415M. There is no scenario in the recorded data where the Intel part can substitute for the AMD card.
