Intel Arc A530M vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides two synthetic benchmark results for the Intel Arc A530M: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 49,735 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 43,492. These results place the Arc A530M at the 85th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 46,614. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile. This absence of data means no direct head-to-head comparison can be computed from the database; the head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and neither part records a win in that category.

However, the Arc A530M's position relative to its nearest rivals is well documented. Its average score of 46,614 is effectively tied with the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, which scores 46,601, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 6550M scores 46,702, placing the Arc A530M 0.2 percent behind. Against the NVIDIA RTX A2000, which scores 46,043, the Arc A530M leads by 1.2 percent. The NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation scores 45,972, placing the Arc A530M 1.4 percent ahead. These deltas are small, indicating that the Arc A530M sits in a tightly clustered performance band among these mobile and workstation parts.

For the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, the lack of benchmark data means its nearest rivals list is empty. The database records no scores, no deltas, and no comparative position beyond its 50th percentile rank. This percentile is a median placement, but without actual scores, it provides no meaningful performance anchor. The data shows a stark contrast: one part has substantial synthetic results and clear rival comparisons, while the other has none.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Arc A530M is the only part with any measurable performance. Its average benchmark score of 46,614 and 85th percentile rank demonstrate that it is a functional, competitive mobile discrete GPU. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, with a 50th percentile and zero recorded scores, cannot be evaluated on performance grounds from the database. Its role is defined by its specifications, not by benchmark results.

The Arc A530M is suitable for workloads that require a dedicated GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 128-bit bus, and 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 3.994 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 7.987 TFLOPS of FP16 performance indicate a part designed for general compute and graphics tasks. The 24EU Mobile, with 384.0 GFLOPS of FP32 and 768.0 GFLOPS of FP16, is a low-power integrated solution, drawing 6 W versus the Arc A530M's 65 W. For users whose needs align with the Arc A530M's capabilities and who require verified performance, the data supports that choice. For users constrained by power or who only need basic graphics, the 24EU Mobile's specifications describe a lighter option, but the database offers no performance evidence for it.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different Intel architecture families. The Arc A530M is built on the Xe-HPG architecture, specifically the DG2-256 chip, and belongs to the Alchemist generation under the Arc 5 Mobile product line. It uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture with a Twin Lake chip, part of the HD Graphics-T generation. It is built on a 10 nm process from Intel, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown.

The compute resources differ substantially. The Arc A530M has 1,536 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, 48 raster operation units, and 12 ray tracing cores. The 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores listed. The Arc A530M's pixel rate is 62.40 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 124.8 GTexel/s. The 24EU Mobile's pixel rate is 4.000 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 12.00 GTexel/s. These figures show a 15.6x difference in pixel rate and a 10.4x difference in texture rate, reflecting the Arc A530M's dedicated hardware versus the 24EU's minimal integrated configuration.

The Arc A530M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate with feature level 12_2, while the 24EU Mobile supports DirectX 12 with feature level 12_1. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The Arc A530M uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, while the 24EU Mobile uses a Ring Bus. The Arc A530M has a base clock of 900 MHz and a boost clock of 1300 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz or 14 Gbps effective.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A530M wins on every measurable performance metric in the database. Its FP32 throughput of 3.994 TFLOPS is over ten times the 24EU Mobile's 384.0 GFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 7.987 TFLOPS similarly dwarfs the 24EU Mobile's 768.0 GFLOPS. The Arc A530M's texture rate of 124.8 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 62.40 GPixel/s are orders of magnitude higher than the 24EU Mobile's 12.00 GTexel/s and 4.000 GPixel/s. The Arc A530M also has 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, while the 24EU Mobile relies on system shared memory.

The Arc A530M's 1536 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs provide a much larger execution footprint than the 24EU Mobile's 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. The Arc A530M also includes 12 ray tracing cores, a feature absent from the 24EU Mobile. In terms of API support, the Arc A530M's DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) is a higher feature level than the 24EU Mobile's DirectX 12 (12_1). The Arc A530M's 85th percentile ranking versus the 24EU Mobile's 50th percentile further reinforces its dominant position in the database.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins on power efficiency. Its 6 W TDP is substantially lower than the Arc A530M's 65 W. It also uses a 10 nm Intel process, while the Arc A530M uses a 6 nm TSMC process. The 24EU Mobile's base clock of 300 MHz and boost clock of 1000 MHz are lower than the Arc A530M's 900 MHz and 1300 MHz, which aligns with its lower power envelope. The 24EU Mobile's Ring Bus interface differs from the Arc A530M's PCIe 4.0 x8, but the database does not provide performance implications for this difference. For systems where power consumption is the primary constraint, the 24EU Mobile's specifications describe a minimal footprint, though its lack of benchmark data means its real-world performance cannot be assessed from the database.
