Intel Arc Graphics 24EU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one benchmark score for the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU and nine for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile, but no direct head-to-head test results are recorded. The only shared metric is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where the Intel part scores 733. The RTX 5070 Mobile has no entry for that specific test, so a direct per-test comparison is unavailable. However, the aggregate benchmark averages provide a clear separation: the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU averages 733 points, while the RTX 5070 Mobile averages 29,928 points. That is a 40.8x difference in average score, placing the two GPUs at opposite ends of the performance spectrum.

The RTX 5070 Mobile’s strongest individual result comes from Geekbench OpenCL, where it records 122,238 points. Its Vulkan score is close behind at 116,960. These two compute-oriented tests dwarf its Passmark results, which range from a low of 93 in DirectX 12 to a high of 214 in DirectX 9. The Passmark G3D score of 20,355 and the GPU compute score of 8,279 fill out the middle of the range. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, by contrast, has only the single 3DMark Steel Nomad score, so its compute, graphics, and legacy API behavior cannot be characterized from the recorded data.

Relative to the broader GPU population, the RTX 5070 Mobile sits at the 75th percentile, meaning it outperforms three-quarters of all recorded GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU sits at the 3rd percentile, placing it below nearly every other GPU in the database. The RTX 5070 Mobile’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (average score 29,945, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (29,783, delta +0.5%), the AMD Radeon RX 6800 (30,095, delta -0.6%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 (30,433, delta -1.7%). These deltas are all within two percentage points, indicating that the RTX 5070 Mobile trades blows with a cluster of high-end desktop GPUs from previous generations.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU’s nearest rivals are far less demanding. The Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and Intel Arc Graphics 64EU both average 733 points, matching the 24EU exactly with a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M averages 723 points, 1.4% lower, while the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M averages 751 points, 2.4% higher. The Intel part thus performs within a few percentage points of those legacy mobile and low-end desktop parts, confirming its position as an entry-level integrated solution.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded benchmark data, the RTX 5070 Mobile wins every category where both parts have scores. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has no wins in any benchmark test, as the wins counter shows 0 for both parts, but the RTX 5070 Mobile has a full suite of results across OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple DirectX versions. Its Passmark DirectX scores demonstrate consistent behavior across API generations: DirectX 9 at 214, DirectX 11 at 192, DirectX 10 at 129, and DirectX 12 at 93. The DirectX 12 score being the lowest suggests that the newer API workload is more demanding, but the GPU still delivers a usable result.

For compute workloads, the Geekbench OpenCL score of 122,238 and Vulkan score of 116,960 indicate strong parallel throughput. The Passmark GPU compute score of 8,279 reinforces that pattern, though it is a smaller absolute number because the test methodology differs. The RTX 5070 Mobile’s average benchmark score of 29,928 places it in the high-performance segment, with a percentile of 75 across all GPUs. That percentile means it outperforms the majority of the database population, including most desktop and all mobile GPUs from several generations ago.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, with its single 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 733, can only be assessed on that one workload. Its 3rd percentile ranking means it sits below 97% of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rival data shows it matches the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 64EU exactly, which suggests that the 24EU’s performance is not limited by execution unit count in this particular test, or that the test is too light to differentiate among these low-end parts. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M is 1.4% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M is 2.4% faster, so the 24EU sits in a narrow band among ancient mobile GPUs.

For use-case analysis, the RTX 5070 Mobile is the choice for any workload that stresses compute or modern graphics APIs. Its DirectX 12 score of 93 is low relative to its older API scores, but still far beyond anything the Intel part can approach. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, given its integrated nature and 3rd percentile ranking, is suited only for basic display output and light 2D tasks, with no evidence in the data that it can handle demanding 3D workloads.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile outperforms the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU by an enormous margin. The average benchmark score of 29,928 versus 733 represents a 40.8x difference, and the percentile rankings (75th vs 3rd) confirm that these are different classes of hardware. The RTX 5070 Mobile competes with the RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 2080 Ti, RX 6800, and RX 6700, all within roughly two percentage points of its average score. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU competes with the Arc 32EU, Arc 64EU, HD 6470M, and GT 415M, all within a few percentage points of its score.

The RTX 5070 Mobile should be selected for any application requiring modern 3D rendering, compute acceleration, or high-resolution gaming. Its Passmark G3D score of 20,355 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 122,238 place it squarely in the performance tier. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU should be selected only for systems where the GPU is incidental, such as basic office productivity or media playback, and even then, the data shows it sits at the very bottom of the GPU hierarchy.

No benchmark results support a scenario where the Intel part wins. The RTX 5070 Mobile leads in every measured category, and the Intel part has no recorded advantage in any test. The architecture differences, detailed below, explain why this gap is so large.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on different process nodes and have fundamentally different designs. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses a 3 nm process from TSMC, with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile uses a 5 nm TSMC process, with 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die, yielding a higher density of 121.0M per mm². Despite the larger transistor count and smaller die, the RTX 5070 Mobile has a lower TDP of 50 W compared to the Intel part’s 65 W, which is notable given the performance disparity.

The Intel part is an integrated GPU (IGP) based on the Xe-LPG architecture, part of the Arrow Lake-S chip family, and uses the Ring Bus interface. Its memory is system-shared, with no dedicated VRAM, and memory bandwidth is system-dependent. The RTX 5070 Mobile is a discrete-class mobile GPU with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock is 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective speed.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 6 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Mobile has 4,608 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Mobile also includes 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores, while the Intel part lists no RT or tensor cores. Pixel rate for the RTX 5070 Mobile is 68.40 GPixel/s versus 12.00 GPixel/s for the Intel part, and texture rate is 205.2 GTexel/s versus 24.00 GTexel/s.

Floating-point throughput shows the biggest gap. The RTX 5070 Mobile delivers 13.13 TFLOPS of FP32 and the same 13.13 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU delivers 768.0 GFLOPS of FP32 and 1.536 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. Clock speeds, however, are higher on the Intel part: base 300 MHz, boost 2000 MHz versus base 907 MHz, boost 1425 MHz on the RTX 5070 Mobile. The RTX 5070 Mobile compensates with far more parallel units.

The RTX 5070 Mobile connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Intel part uses the Ring Bus. Display outputs are motherboard-dependent for the Intel part and portable-device-dependent for the NVIDIA part. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 5070 Mobile was released on 2025-04-14, succeeding the GeForce 40 Mobile series. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU was released on 2024-10-23, with the HD Graphics series as its predecessor. Neither part has a recorded launch MSRP.
