Intel Arc A580 vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

Intel Arc A580 vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Arc A580 and the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. The Arc A580 has established benchmark scores across three separate tests, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of directly comparable results makes a conventional side-by-side score comparison impossible.

The Arc A580 achieves a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2229 points. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, it records 91657 points, and in the Geekbench Vulkan test, it scores 79381 points. These results place the Arc A580 in the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 57756.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile sits in the 50th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0 due to the absence of recorded test data. The percentile gap between the two parts is substantial, with the Arc A580 resting 37 percentile points higher in the overall distribution. Since the Graphics 24EU Mobile has no benchmark entries, the database cannot produce any delta percentage figures between the two cards.

The Arc A580's nearest rivals provide context for its position. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM shows an average score of 58085, which places it 0.6% above the Arc A580. The Intel Arc A570M averages 58239, or 0.8% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58392, or 1.1% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is the only nearest rival below the Arc A580, averaging 57367, which is 0.7% lower. These narrow margins place the Arc A580 in a tightly contested performance band among its closest competitors.

The Verdict

The data indicates two GPUs built for entirely different roles. The Arc A580 is a discrete graphics card with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, 3072 shading units, 24 ray tracing cores, and a 175 W TDP. It records benchmark scores of 2229 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 91657 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 79381 in Geekbench Vulkan, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated processor with 192 shading units, no ray tracing cores, system shared memory, and a 6 W TDP. It holds the 50th percentile position with no recorded benchmark scores.

The Arc A580's nearest rivals show a tight cluster. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM sits 0.6% higher, the Intel Arc A570M sits 0.8% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT sits 1.1% higher. Only the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE sits lower at 0.7% below. This places the Arc A580 in a competitive band where no rival in its immediate vicinity exceeds it by more than 1.1% or trails it by more than 0.7%.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile has no nearest rivals and no benchmark scores in the database, so its performance position cannot be quantified relative to the Arc A580. Its 50th percentile standing places it at the median of all GPUs, which stands in contrast to the Arc A580's 87th percentile position. The absence of recorded benchmark data for the Graphics 24EU Mobile means the database can only report its architectural specifications and power characteristics.

The release dates show the Arc A580 arrived on October 9, 2023, and the Graphics 24EU Mobile followed on December 31, 2024. Both parts remain in active production status. The Arc A580 lists a predecessor in Xe Graphics and a successor in Battlemage, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile lists neither.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc A580 wins in every measured performance category available in the database. It holds the only recorded benchmark scores between the two parts, with results across 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, Geekbench OpenCL, and Geekbench Vulkan. Its 87th percentile ranking versus the Graphics 24EU Mobile's 50th percentile ranking establishes a clear performance separation in the data.

The Arc A580 wins on memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 8 GB GDDR6 configuration with 512.0 GB/s bandwidth provides dedicated resources, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. The Arc A580 also wins on feature support, offering DirectX 12 Ultimate with the 12_2 feature level and 24 ray tracing cores, neither of which appear in the Graphics 24EU Mobile's specifications.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile wins on power efficiency and integration. Its 6 W TDP versus 175 W for the Arc A580 represents the largest specification gap between the two parts. The IGP form factor requires no power connectors, no suggested power supply, and no expansion slot, making it suitable for portable devices. Its Ring Bus interface and portable device dependent display outputs align with integrated use cases in compact systems.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile also wins on release recency, arriving on December 31, 2024, versus October 9, 2023, for the Arc A580. Its 10 nm Intel process node is larger than the 6 nm TSMC node used by the Arc A580, but the integrated part's lower clock speeds of 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost contribute to its minimal power draw.

The Arc A580 wins on every compute resource metric. Its 3072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operation units, and 24 ray tracing cores all exceed the Graphics 24EU Mobile's corresponding figures by wide margins. The floating point performance gap is similarly large, with 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 on the Arc A580 versus 384.0 GFLOPS on the Graphics 24EU Mobile.

The data supports a straightforward split. The Arc A580 serves workloads requiring dedicated graphics memory, high throughput, and ray tracing support. The Graphics 24EU Mobile serves power constrained, portable applications where a 6 W integrated solution with no external power requirements is the appropriate fit. The database records no direct benchmark comparisons, so all performance conclusions derive from the Arc A580's recorded scores and the architectural specifications of both parts.
