Intel Arc A380E x2 vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct benchmark scores for either the Intel Arc A380E x2 or the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. Both entries report an average benchmark score of zero and a percentile ranking of 50 among all GPUs, which indicates that no measured performance data has been recorded for these parts. The head-to-head benchmark comparison table is also empty, meaning there are no matched test results to compare directly.

This absence of data is itself informative. The Arc A380E x2 is listed as end-of-life with a release date in March 2024, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile is marked as active with a release date in December 2024. The newer integrated part may simply not have had enough time to accumulate benchmark submissions, while the older discrete card may have been retired before extensive testing occurred.

Without measured scores, the raw specification differences provide the only quantitative basis for comparison. The Arc A380E x2 delivers a peak FP32 throughput of 4.096 TFLOPS, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile reaches 384.0 GFLOPS. That is a 10.7x gap in raw floating-point capability. The pixel rate tells a similar story: 64.00 GPixel/s against 4.000 GPixel/s, a 16x difference. Texture rate shows 128.0 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s, an 10.7x spread.

The memory subsystem reinforces this divide. The Arc A380E x2 has 6 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, delivering 186.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Graphics 24EU Mobile uses system shared memory with bandwidth listed as system dependent. The discrete card's memory clock runs at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective data rate, whereas the integrated part has no independent memory clock at all.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Arc A380E x2 wins in every measurable performance category. Its shading unit count of 1024 compares to 192 for the integrated part, a 5.3x advantage. Texture mapping units number 64 against 12, a 5.3x spread. Render output units stand at 32 versus 4, an 8x difference. The discrete card also includes 8 ray tracing cores, while the integrated graphics lists none.

The Arc A380E x2 further distinguishes itself with 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, making it suitable for multi-display configurations. The Graphics 24EU Mobile lists its display outputs as portable device dependent, which reflects its role as an integrated processor graphics solution.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile wins in power efficiency. Its TDP is 6 W, compared to 130 W for the Arc A380E x2. The integrated part also uses a ring bus interface rather than PCIe 4.0 x8, which is typical for an IGP integrated into the processor die. It requires no power connectors and no suggested PSU, whereas the discrete card needs a single 6-pin connector and a 300 W suggested power supply.

The production status differs as well: the Arc A380E x2 is end-of-life with a successor named Battlemage, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile is active with no listed successor or predecessor.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The Arc A380E x2 uses the DG2-128 chip built on a 6 nm TSMC process with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die. The Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Twin Lake chip on a 10 nm Intel process, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown.

Clock speeds diverge sharply. The Arc A380E x2 runs at 2000 MHz base and boost, with memory at 1937 MHz. The Graphics 24EU Mobile runs at 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost, with system shared memory.

The Arc A380E x2 has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The Graphics 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores. The discrete card measures 265 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, uses a single-slot design, and connects via PCIe 4.0 x8. The integrated part has no dimensions, uses an IGP slot width, and connects via ring bus.

Display outputs differ completely: 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 on the discrete card versus portable device dependent on the integrated part. The Arc A380E x2 has a 130 W TDP and requires a 6-pin connector and 300 W PSU. The Graphics 24EU Mobile has a 6 W TDP with no connectors or PSU requirements.

Architecture Differences

The Arc A380E x2 is built on the Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist generation, specifically the Arc 3 series. The Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture from the HD Graphics-T generation, codenamed Twin Lake. These are fundamentally different GPU designs: Xe-HPG is a high-performance gaming architecture, while Xe-LP is a low-power architecture intended for integrated graphics.

The process technology differs as well. The Arc A380E x2 uses a 6 nm TSMC process with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 45.9M per mm². The Graphics 24EU Mobile uses a 10 nm Intel process, though transistor count and die size are unknown.

The memory architecture is entirely different. The discrete card has dedicated GDDR6 memory with a 96-bit bus and fixed bandwidth. The integrated part relies on system shared memory, making its bandwidth dependent on the host system's memory configuration.

The API support differs in DirectX version. The Arc A380E x2 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes features like ray tracing and variable rate shading. The Graphics 24EU Mobile supports DirectX 12 (12_1), a lower feature level. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

The Arc A380E x2 has a predecessor listed as Xe Graphics and a successor named Battlemage. The Graphics 24EU Mobile has neither a predecessor nor a successor listed in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one conclusion for raw performance: the Intel Arc A380E x2 is overwhelmingly more capable than the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. It has 10.7x the FP32 throughput, 16x the pixel rate, 10.7x the texture rate, 8x the ROP count, 5.3x the shading units, and 5.3x the TMU count. It is the only one of the two with dedicated memory, ray tracing cores, and a full complement of display outputs.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile wins decisively in power consumption. Its 6 W TDP is 124 W lower than the discrete card's 130 W TDP. It requires no power connectors, no PSU suggestion, and fits into an integrated package with no physical dimensions. For systems where power budget and physical footprint are the primary constraints, the integrated part is the only reasonable choice.

The production status favors the integrated part. The Arc A380E x2 is end-of-life with a successor already named, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile is active and recently released. Anyone building a new system with these parts would have to source the discrete card from existing inventory.

The lack of benchmark data means the real-world performance gap cannot be quantified beyond the specification sheet. The database shows no measured scores for either GPU, so the 10.7x FP32 advantage remains theoretical until actual testing data is recorded. The percentile ranking of 50 for both parts reflects the empty benchmark fields, not actual performance relative to other GPUs.

For workloads that demand graphics throughput, memory bandwidth, and ray tracing, the Arc A380E x2 is the clear pick from the available data. For power-constrained mobile applications where integrated graphics suffice, the Graphics 24EU Mobile serves that role with a fraction of the power draw. The choice comes down to whether the workload requires discrete GPU capabilities or can run within the integrated part's 384.0 GFLOPS ceiling.
