AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU and Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile occupy vastly different tiers in the database, and the recorded benchmark data reflects a decisive gap in raw performance. The Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU posts an average benchmark score of 516 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, resulting in an average score of zero. This absence of data for the Intel part is itself informative: it indicates that the integrated graphics solution has not been subjected to the same high-load testing, likely due to its positioning as a low-power mobile component rather than a discrete-class GPU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark measurement available is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score for the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU, which sits at 516. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded scores in this test, so a direct numerical comparison cannot be established from the database. However, the AMD part’s nearest rivals provide useful context for interpreting its performance level. The Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is 3.4% behind the Intel HD Graphics P4000 (avg score 534) and 3.7% behind the AMD Radeon HD 6870 (avg score 536). It is 6.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6750M (avg score 484) and 9.3% behind the AMD Radeon HD 6770M (avg score 569).

These deltas show the Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU clustering with older desktop and mobile discrete GPUs from roughly a decade ago. The 516 score places it in a narrow band where performance swings of less than 10% separate it from four different rivals. The AMD part’s percentile rank of 1 among all GPUs indicates that it sits at the very bottom of the overall performance distribution, which aligns with its modest absolute score. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, lacking any benchmark entries, cannot be placed on this scale, but its specifications suggest it would fall even lower if tested under the same conditions.

The texture and pixel throughput figures reinforce the gap. The Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU delivers a pixel rate of 129.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 172.8 GTexel/s, while the Intel part manages 4.000 GPixel/s and 12.00 GTexel/s. These are order-of-magnitude differences: the AMD GPU is roughly 32 times faster in pixel fill and about 14 times faster in texture fill, based directly on the recorded rates. Floating-point performance tells a similar story, with the AMD part at 5.530 TFLOPS FP32 versus the Intel part’s 384.0 GFLOPS FP32, a difference of approximately 14.4 times.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU wins on every performance metric where both parts have recorded data. In raw compute, it delivers 5.530 TFLOPS FP32 compared to 384.0 GFLOPS for the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. The AMD part also has a decisive advantage in memory bandwidth: 128.0 GB/s over a 128-bit LPDDR5X bus, versus the Intel part’s system-shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent. The AMD GPU’s dedicated 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory allows it to sustain consistent performance without competing with the CPU for bandwidth, a structural advantage that the Intel part cannot match.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile holds wins only in efficiency and form factor, though these are not reflected in benchmark scores. Its 6 W TDP is far lower than the AMD part’s 28 W, making it suitable for fanless or passively cooled designs. The Intel part is also marked as an IGP with a ring bus interface, indicating it is integrated into a system-on-chip for portable devices, whereas the AMD part uses a USB Type-C display output, suggesting a more standalone or docked configuration. The Intel part also supports FP16 at 768.0 GFLOPS (2:1 ratio), which is double its FP32 rate, whereas the AMD part runs FP16 at a 1:1 ratio (5.530 TFLOPS). This means the Intel part has a relatively stronger half-precision compute capability, though its absolute FP16 output remains far below the AMD part’s FP32 output.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It uses the Strix Point chip, which contains 34,000 million transistors on a 233 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 145.9 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture on a 10 nm process fabricated by Intel, with the Twin Lake chip. The Intel part’s transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, so no direct comparison can be made on those metrics.

Core configurations differ sharply. The AMD part has 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units, along with 16 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed. This means the AMD GPU has more than five times the shading units, five times the TMUs, and twelve times the ROPs of the Intel part. The AMD GPU also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes hardware ray tracing and other advanced features, while the Intel part only supports DirectX 12 (12_1), which lacks those features. Both parts support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is otherwise equal.

Clock speeds also differ substantially. The AMD part has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2700 MHz, while the Intel part runs at a base of 300 MHz and a boost of 1000 MHz. The AMD part’s memory clock is listed at 1000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective data rate, whereas the Intel part uses system-shared memory with no dedicated clock. The AMD part’s higher clocks, combined with its larger core count, explain its massive lead in throughput metrics.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is overwhelmingly more powerful than the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile in every measurable performance category. Its 5.530 TFLOPS FP32 output, 128.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 129.6 GPixel/s pixel rate place it in a completely different performance class. The Intel part’s 384.0 GFLOPS FP32 and 4.000 GPixel/s rates are suited only for basic display output and very light workloads, not for gaming or compute tasks. The AMD part’s support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and 16 ray tracing cores further separates it from the Intel part, which lacks those capabilities entirely.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile does have one clear advantage: its 6 W TDP is less than a quarter of the AMD part’s 28 W, and its system-shared memory design eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM. For ultra-portable devices where power consumption is the primary constraint, the Intel part is the only sensible choice. However, the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU’s benchmark score of 516, while low by absolute standards, still places it ahead of several older discrete GPUs, including the AMD Radeon HD 6750M by 6.6%. The Intel part has no recorded benchmark presence, so there is no evidence in the database that it can compete with even those older discrete parts.

Users seeking any form of 3D acceleration, even at entry-level performance, should select the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU based on the recorded data. Those prioritizing minimal power draw and a fully integrated solution with no discrete memory footprint would choose the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, but they must accept the complete absence of benchmark validation and the substantial compute deficit. The database shows a clear hierarchy: the AMD part is a functional, if modest, GPU, while the Intel part is a basic graphics processor with no demonstrated performance record.
