Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU and the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. Both entries have an empty benchmark array, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rivals listed. The win tally is zero for both sides, indicating that no comparative performance measurements have been logged for this pairing.

The absence of benchmark data does not allow for a numerical comparison of performance between the two. However, the available specification data reveals substantial differences in raw compute capacity. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU delivers 8.294 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile produces 384.0 GFLOPS. This places the AMD part at roughly 21.6 times the FP32 compute of the Intel integrated solution, a gap that would translate into dramatically different frame rates in any GPU-bound workload.

The pixel fill rate tells a similar story. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme reaches 86.40 GPixel/s, whereas the Intel part manages 4.000 GPixel/s, a 21.6x difference. Texture rate follows the same pattern: 129.6 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s. These figures indicate that the AMD component is designed for discrete-class rendering tasks, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile targets basic display output and light 2D acceleration.

The benchmark percentile fields are identical at 50 for both, but with zero recorded scores, this percentile carries no meaningful signal. It simply reflects the default midpoint placement for unranked entries in the database. The data cannot support any claim of performance equivalence or superiority; it only confirms that no direct measurements exist.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process node. It is built around the Phoenix chip and integrates 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture on a 10 nm Intel process node, based on the Twin Lake chip. Intel's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, so no direct density comparison is possible.

The memory architecture diverges sharply. AMD implements a dedicated 16 GB LPDDR5 pool with a 64-bit bus and fixed 51.20 GB/s bandwidth. Intel relies entirely on system shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent. This means the Intel GPU's performance is contingent on the host system's memory speed and configuration, while the AMD part has a predictable, dedicated memory path.

The render output pipeline differs in scale. AMD configures 48 texture mapping units and 32 raster operation units, while Intel uses 12 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The AMD part also includes 12 ray tracing cores, a feature entirely absent from the Intel design. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile offers no tensor cores, and neither does the AMD part, though the AMD GPU's higher shading unit count (768 versus 192) provides substantially more parallel compute lanes.

Clock behavior reflects the different power envelopes. The AMD part runs at 800 MHz base and 2700 MHz boost, while the Intel part operates at 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost. The AMD GPU's 30 W TDP allows for higher sustained clocks, whereas the Intel GPU's 6 W TDP constrains it to much lower frequencies. The manufacturing process gap, 4 nm versus 10 nm, contributes to the efficiency and density differences observed in the specifications.

The API support shows a feature-level split. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, but DirectX support differs: AMD offers 12 Ultimate (12_2) while Intel offers 12 (12_1). The 12_2 feature level includes advanced features like mesh shaders and variable rate shading, which are not available on the Intel part. Display output also differs, with AMD providing a single USB Type-C connector while Intel's outputs are portable device dependent, reflecting its integrated nature.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU is positioned for substantially heavier graphics workloads than the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. The AMD part's 8.294 TFLOPS FP32 compute, 86.40 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 129.6 GTexel/s texture rate place it in a category that can handle modern 3D rendering, while the Intel part's 384.0 GFLOPS, 4.000 GPixel/s, and 12.00 GTexel/s are more consistent with basic display composition and lightweight applications.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile's 6 W TDP and system shared memory make it suitable for low-power portable devices where graphics performance is secondary to battery life and thermal management. Its 192 shading units and 4 ROPs are sufficient for desktop rendering, video playback, and 2D interfaces, but the absence of ray tracing cores and the DirectX 12 (12_1) feature level limit its capability in demanding modern titles.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU, with its 30 W TDP, 16 GB dedicated LPDDR5 memory, and 12 ray tracing cores, is built for gaming-capable handheld consoles or compact systems. Its 2700 MHz boost clock and 768 shading units provide the compute headroom needed for higher resolution and frame rate targets. The launch MSRP of 699 USD reflects its positioning as a premium mobile graphics solution.

For users seeking a GPU for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, the AMD part is the clear choice based on every measurable specification. For users prioritizing minimal power draw and integrated simplicity, the Intel part fills that niche. The database shows no benchmark overlap, so the verdict rests entirely on the specification gaps, which are decisive in favor of the AMD component for performance-oriented tasks.
