Analysis: AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark scores for these two mobile graphics processors. The database shows no entries in the head-to-head comparison table, and neither part has an average benchmark score on file. Both GPUs sit at the 50th percentile against all GPUs in the database, which places them in the middle of the recorded performance distribution, though this percentile is based on incomplete benchmark data for both.
The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU delivers a peak FP32 compute figure of 5.530 TFLOPS. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile reaches 384.0 GFLOPS in FP32. The AMD part provides 14.4 times the raw single-precision compute throughput of the Intel part, a massive differential that reflects the fundamental class gap between these two processors. In FP16 operations, the AMD GPU again delivers 5.530 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, while the Intel GPU reaches 768.0 GFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning the Intel part doubles its throughput when moving to half-precision while the AMD part does not.
The pixel throughput numbers reinforce the same divide. The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU sustains 129.6 GPixel/s, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile manages 4.000 GPixel/s. That is a 32.4 times advantage for the AMD silicon. Texture fill rates show a similar story: 172.8 GTexel/s for the AMD part versus 12.00 GTexel/s for the Intel part, a 14.4 times gap that exactly mirrors the FP32 disparity since both parts derive texture rate from the same shading unit count ratio.
Clock speeds tell a different kind of story. The AMD GPU runs at a base clock of 800 MHz and boosts to 2700 MHz. The Intel GPU starts at a much lower 300 MHz base and boosts to 1000 MHz. The AMD boost clock is 2.7 times higher than the Intel boost clock, and the AMD base clock is 2.67 times higher than the Intel base. These clock differences compound with the architectural and execution unit advantages to produce the large overall throughput gaps.
Memory bandwidth separates the two parts even further. The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory on a 256 bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, so no fixed bandwidth figure exists in the database for direct comparison. The AMD part's dedicated memory subsystem with a fixed bandwidth figure stands in contrast to the Intel part's dependency on the host system's memory configuration.
The wins columns in the database show zero wins for each part in head-to-head comparisons, which means no matched benchmark runs have been recorded for this pairing. Without matched benchmark runs, the database cannot assign either GPU a victory in any specific workload category. The compute, fill rate, and memory specifications, however, consistently point in the same direction across every measurable metric.

A: The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU has 1024 shading units, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units. The AMD part also has 64 texture mapping units versus 12 for Intel, and 48 ROPs versus 4 for Intel.
Q: Does the Intel GPU have ray tracing cores?
A: No. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no ray tracing cores listed in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU includes 16 ray tracing cores.
Q: What are the power requirements of each GPU?

Architecture Differences
The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU uses the Strix Point chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 4 nm process. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Twin Lake chip built on Xe-LP architecture, fabricated by Intel on a 10 nm process. The process node difference is substantial: 4 nm versus 10 nm gives the AMD part a density advantage before considering the architectural differences.
The AMD chip integrates 34,000 million transistors on a 233 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 145.9M per mm². The Intel chip's transistor count and die size are both listed as unknown in the database, so no density comparison is possible. The AMD chip's transistor budget supports 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The Intel chip uses 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed.
Ray tracing support marks a clear architectural divide. The AMD part includes 16 dedicated ray tracing cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes the full ray tracing feature set. The Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1), which lacks the highest tier of DirectX ray tracing features, and it has no ray tracing cores recorded. The AMD part also has no tensor cores listed, and the Intel part has none listed, so neither GPU shows dedicated AI acceleration hardware in the database.
The memory architecture differs fundamentally. The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU uses a dedicated 16 GB LPDDR5X pool on a 256 bit bus with fixed 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile shares system memory, with memory type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. This means the Intel part's memory performance varies with the host platform, while the AMD part has a fixed, known memory subsystem.
The AMD GPU supports FP16 at a 1:1 ratio to FP32, meaning both precision modes run at 5.530 TFLOPS. The Intel GPU supports FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, meaning its 768.0 GFLOPS FP16 figure is double its 384.0 GFLOPS FP32 figure. This indicates different execution strategies for half-precision math in the two architectures.
Display outputs also differ. The AMD part lists a single USB Type-C output. The Intel part lists portable device dependent outputs, reflecting its role as an integrated GPU in mobile systems where the display connection depends on the specific device design.
The bus interface differs as well. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses a Ring Bus interface. The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU has no bus interface listed in the database.
The Verdict
The benchmark data, while lacking matched head-to-head runs, leaves little ambiguity about the relative positioning of these two GPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU holds a 14.4 times advantage in FP32 compute, a 32.4 times advantage in pixel fill rate, and a 14.4 times advantage in texture fill rate. It offers dedicated memory with fixed bandwidth, ray tracing hardware, and a modern 4 nm process. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile operates at a fraction of that performance envelope with a 6 W TDP, system shared memory, and no ray tracing capability.
The strict performance hierarchy favors the AMD part across every measurable specification in the database. The AMD GPU's 5.530 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 129.6 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 172.8 GTexel/s texture rate all exceed the Intel part's corresponding figures by more than an order of magnitude. The AMD part's 16 GB of dedicated LPDDR5X memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth removes the variable of host system memory configuration from its performance profile. The Intel part's system dependent memory bandwidth introduces platform variability that the database cannot quantify.
The 28 W TDP of the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU versus the 6 W TDP of the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile indicates different intended power envelopes. The AMD part consumes more power and delivers correspondingly higher performance. The Intel part targets minimal power draw and delivers modest integrated graphics capability.
For users whose workloads demand maximum compute throughput, ray tracing support, and fixed high-bandwidth memory, the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme GPU is the only choice between these two parts. For systems constrained to very low power budgets where the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile's 6 W TDP and integrated design fit, the Intel part serves a different role entirely. The data does not show any workload category where the Intel part outperforms the AMD part.
