AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU and the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. Both products hold a percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs in the database, and their average benchmark scores are recorded as zero. This absence of measured data means the comparison must rely entirely on architectural and specification analysis rather than performance deltas.

The raw compute figures, however, reveal a substantial gap. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU delivers 2.560 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile delivers 384.0 GFLOPS. That places the AMD part at approximately 6.67 times the FP32 compute of the Intel solution, a difference that will dominate any workload that scales with shader throughput. The FP16 figures follow the same pattern: 5.120 TFLOPS for AMD versus 768.0 GFLOPS for Intel, again a 6.67x ratio.

Pixel and texture rates reinforce the divide. The Ryzen Z1 GPU reaches 20.00 GPixel/s and 40.00 GTexel/s, whereas the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile manages 4.000 GPixel/s and 12.00 GTexel/s. The AMD part is 5 times faster in pixel fill and 3.33 times faster in texture fill. These deltas indicate that the AMD GPU would handle resolution scaling and texture-heavy scenes with far greater headroom.

Clock speeds also differ sharply. The AMD chip runs at a base of 1500 MHz with a boost of 2500 MHz. The Intel mobile graphics part idles at a 300 MHz base and boosts to 1000 MHz. Even accounting for architectural efficiency differences, the raw clock advantage of 2.5x at boost favors AMD decisively.

Memory bandwidth adds another layer. The Ryzen Z1 GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 across a 64-bit bus, yielding 51.20 GB/s. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile relies on System Shared memory with bandwidth described as System Dependent. No fixed bandwidth number exists for the Intel part, so the comparison is qualitative, but the dedicated 51.20 GB/s figure for AMD suggests a consistent, predictable memory pipeline.

The wins are one-sided in every measurable category. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU holds advantages in FP32, FP16, pixel rate, texture rate, clock speeds, memory capacity, and memory type. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile counters with a much lower TDP of 6 W versus 30 W, which points to entirely different design goals.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturing and design philosophies. AMD builds the Ryzen Z1 GPU on a 4 nm process at TSMC, using the Phoenix chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture. Intel fabricates the Graphics 24EU Mobile on a 10 nm process at its own foundry, using the Twin Lake chip with Xe-LP architecture. The process node gap of 4 nm versus 10 nm gives AMD a substantial density and efficiency advantage at the transistor level.

AMD reports 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6M per mm². Intel lists no transistor count, die size, or density for the Twin Lake chip. The absence of those numbers means the database cannot confirm the physical scale of Intel's design, but the process difference alone suggests AMD packs far more logic into a smaller area.

The compute unit layouts diverge significantly. AMD's RDNA 3.0 implementation uses 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 raster output units. It also includes 4 dedicated ray tracing cores. Intel's Xe-LP design has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed. The AMD part has 33% more shaders, 33% more TMUs, and double the ROP count, plus a hardware ray tracing block that Intel lacks entirely.

Memory architecture differs in kind, not just capacity. AMD uses a fixed 16 GB LPDDR5 pool with a 64-bit bus and a measured 51.20 GB/s bandwidth. Intel uses System Shared memory, meaning the GPU borrows from the host system's RAM, with bus width and bandwidth dependent on the host platform. This makes Intel's memory performance variable across devices, while AMD offers a consistent, dedicated baseline.

The API support shows a generation gap. AMD lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes hardware ray tracing and mesh shaders. Intel lists DirectX 12 (12_1), a lower feature level that lacks some of the shader model and ray tracing requirements of 12_2. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, so the gap narrows to DirectX feature level, but that difference matters for modern Windows titles.

Power delivery and integration also differ. AMD's Ryzen Z1 GPU draws 30 W and uses no power connectors, indicating a soldered or embedded design. Intel's part draws only 6 W and is classified as an IGP with a Ring Bus interface. The Intel solution is clearly designed for low-power portable devices, while AMD targets a more performance-oriented console-class GPU segment.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU wins in every performance-oriented category. It offers 6.67 times the FP32 compute, 6.67 times the FP16 compute, 5 times the pixel rate, and 3.33 times the texture rate of the Intel part. Its 2500 MHz boost clock versus 1000 MHz, 16 GB of dedicated LPDDR5 versus shared memory, and ray tracing cores versus none all point to a GPU built for demanding graphical workloads. The DirectX 12 Ultimate feature set confirms support for modern rendering techniques that require hardware acceleration.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins in power efficiency. Its 6 W TDP is a fraction of AMD's 30 W, making it suitable for ultra-low-power portable devices where battery life and heat are primary constraints. The System Shared memory design reduces component count and system cost, and the Ring Bus interface integrates directly into the host chip. The 10 nm process, while older than AMD's 4 nm, still allows for a functional integrated graphics solution in low-end mobile processors.

The release dates also separate their roles. AMD launched the Ryzen Z1 GPU on 2023-09-17 with a launch MSRP of 599 USD. Intel's Graphics 24EU Mobile launched on 2024-12-31 with no MSRP recorded. The newer Intel part targets a different market segment entirely, one that prioritizes minimal power draw over raw performance.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two GPUs with no overlap in intended use cases. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU is a high-performance part for console-class systems, evidenced by its 30 W TDP, 16 GB LPDDR5, ray tracing cores, and DirectX 12 Ultimate support. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is a minimal integrated solution for low-power laptops, evidenced by its 6 W TDP, System Shared memory, and lack of dedicated ray tracing hardware.

For any workload that involves gaming, 3D rendering, or GPU-accelerated compute, the AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU is the clear choice from the data. Its FP32 throughput of 2.560 TFLOPS dwarfs Intel's 384.0 GFLOPS, and its pixel and texture rates are multiples of Intel's figures. The dedicated memory bandwidth of 51.20 GB/s avoids the variability of Intel's System Dependent memory performance.

For ultra-portable devices where power draw is the limiting factor, the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has a place. Its 6 W TDP allows for fanless or passively cooled designs that the AMD part's 30 W TDP cannot match. The System Shared memory eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM, saving space and cost.

The decision hinges on the platform. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU demands the power budget and cooling capacity of a larger device. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile fits into the smallest, most power-constrained chassis. The database records no benchmark scores for either part, so the verdict rests on specification analysis: AMD for performance, Intel for efficiency, with no middle ground between them.
