Intel Arc Graphics 24EU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is unusually sparse. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has a single benchmark entry, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733 points. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means the head-to-head benchmark section cannot rely on direct numerical comparisons from shared tests, because no such shared tests exist in the measurements.

What the database does provide is the Intel part’s standing relative to other GPUs. The Arc Graphics 24EU sits at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs, indicating that it ranks near the bottom of the performance distribution. Its average benchmark score is 733 points, which is identical to the average score of the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, both also at 733 points. The delta between these three is 0 percent, meaning the 24EU variant delivers the same measured performance in this test as its higher-shader-count siblings, at least according to the recorded data.

Against the nearest rivals listed in the database, the Arc Graphics 24EU is 1.4 percent ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6470M, which scores 723 points. It trails the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M by 2.4 percent, as that part scores 751 points. These deltas are small, and the performance class is clearly very low-end. The 733-point score in Steel Nomad DX12 is the only quantitative benchmark data available for the Intel part, and it shows a GPU that is competitive only with legacy or entry-level mobile parts from over a decade ago.

Because the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has no benchmark entries, no wins can be assigned to either side in the head-to-head section. The wins count for both items is zero. The data cannot support any claim of superiority for either GPU based on measured test scores. The only concrete score is the Intel 24EU’s 733 points, which places it in the 3rd percentile of all GPUs. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104’s 50th percentile standing reflects the database’s overall distribution of GPUs, but without an average score or rival comparisons, that percentile cannot be tied to any specific benchmark result.

The Verdict

The available data does not allow a performance verdict in the traditional sense. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has one recorded benchmark score, 733 points, and that score places it at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has no recorded scores, no average, and no rivals listed. Any direct comparison of measured performance is therefore impossible from the database.

What can be stated from the data is the following. The Intel part is an integrated graphics processor, with a TDP of 65 W, a ring bus interface, and system-shared memory. It is designed for basic display output and light workloads. Its 733-point Steel Nomad score, identical to the scores of the 32EU and 64EU variants, suggests that the 24EU configuration is not differentiated in this particular test, likely due to memory bandwidth or driver limitations rather than shader count.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104, on the other hand, is a discrete dual-slot card with a 160 W TDP, 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, a 128-bit bus, and 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. It carries a launch MSRP of 399 USD. Its 50th percentile placement across all GPUs indicates it sits in the middle of the performance distribution, but the absence of any benchmark scores in the database means the data cannot confirm where it lands relative to the Arc 24EU or any other specific part.

For a user relying strictly on the database, the only defensible statement is that the Arc 24EU is a low-percentile, low-power integrated solution with a single measured score, while the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is a mid-percentile discrete card with no measured scores. The data does not support a recommendation of one over the other for any workload.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, different architectures, and different process nodes. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is built on the Xe-LPG architecture, using the Arrow Lake-S chip, and is fabricated on a 3 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 uses the Ada Lovelace architecture, based on the AD104 chip, and is fabricated on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.

The transistor counts differ substantially. The Intel chip integrates 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The NVIDIA chip carries 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, resulting in a density of 121.8M per mm². The NVIDIA part has roughly twice the transistor count on a slightly larger die, and its density is significantly higher.

Clock behavior also differs. The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2535 MHz. Memory clocking is fundamentally different: the Intel GPU uses system-shared memory with a system-dependent bandwidth, while the NVIDIA GPU uses 2250 MHz memory with 18 Gbps effective data rate.

The API support is identical on paper: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The production status differs, with the Intel part listed as active and the NVIDIA part listed as end-of-life. The Intel part has no power connectors, as it is an integrated graphics processor (IGP), while the NVIDIA card requires a single 16-pin connector and a suggested power supply of 450 W.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU wins in the only category where a quantitative comparison is possible: it has a benchmark score at all. The 733-point Steel Nomad DX12 result, while low, is a measurable data point. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has no such data point, so it cannot be said to win any benchmark comparison in the database.

The Intel part also wins on power consumption, with a 65 W TDP compared to the NVIDIA card’s 160 W TDP. It also uses no dedicated power connectors, as it is an integrated graphics processor, whereas the NVIDIA card requires a 16-pin connector and a 450 W suggested power supply. The Intel part is also listed as active production, while the NVIDIA part is end-of-life.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 wins on memory capacity and bandwidth, with 8 GB of GDDR6 and 288.0 GB/s, compared to the Intel part’s system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA card also has a higher transistor count (35,800 million vs. 17,800 million), higher transistor density (121.8M per mm² vs. 73.3M per mm²), and a higher boost clock (2535 MHz vs. 2000 MHz). It also has far more shading units (4352 vs. 192), TMUs (136 vs. 12), ROPs (48 vs. 6), and includes 34 RT cores and 136 tensor cores, neither of which the Intel part lists.

The NVIDIA card’s 50th percentile placement across all GPUs, versus the Intel part’s 3rd percentile, indicates that the database ranks the NVIDIA part far higher in the overall distribution, even without a specific benchmark score.
