Intel Arc Graphics 24EU vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data for these two parts is asymmetrical. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU has a single measured result in the database: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation currently has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its average benchmark score at 0 and its wins column empty. Direct head-to-head comparison therefore relies on the relative positioning of the Intel part against its nearest rivals, as the NVIDIA card has no comparable entries.

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU sits at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU, posts an identical average score of 733, indicating a 0% delta. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU also matches at 733, again a 0% delta. These three Intel integrated parts cluster tightly, suggesting that within the same architecture family, the additional execution resources of the 32EU and 64EU variants do not translate into a measurable performance advantage in this particular DX12 workload at the recorded settings.

Against the other listed rivals, the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU shows a 1.4% lead over the AMD Radeon HD 6470M, which scores 723. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M posts a score of 751, placing the Intel part 2.4% behind that older discrete mobile GPU. The delta is small in both cases, but the direction is clear: the Intel integrated solution lands between these two legacy discrete parts in raw 3DMark Steel Nomad performance.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation, by contrast, has no benchmark entries in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 is a placeholder value rather than a measured outcome, and its average score of 0 reflects the absence of recorded data. The database currently offers no validated performance figures for this workstation card, so any numeric comparison of the two products in this section would be speculative. The Intel part has a concrete score; the NVIDIA part does not.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU wins on measured benchmark availability. It has a concrete 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733, placing it in the database’s lower percentile range but giving analysts a verified performance data point. Its compact integrated form factor, 65 W TDP, and motherboard-dependent display outputs make it suitable for systems where discrete graphics are absent and power draw is constrained.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation wins on raw specification breadth. It delivers 50.53 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 269.6 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 789.5 GTexel/s texture rate, all figures that dwarf the Intel part’s 768.0 GFLOPS FP32, 12.00 GPixel/s, and 24.00 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card also includes 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores, features absent from the Intel integrated part. Its 32 GB GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth stands against the Intel part’s system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

For workstation-class workloads, the NVIDIA part’s 10496 shading units, 328 TMUs, and 112 ROPs provide a scale of resources that the Intel part’s 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 6 ROPs cannot approach. The NVIDIA card is a dual-slot, 200 W discrete accelerator with PCIe 5.0 x16 connectivity and four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, positioning it for multi-display professional environments. The Intel part is a ring-bus integrated GPU with no dedicated power connectors.

The absence of benchmark data for the NVIDIA card means that no measured performance win can be credited to it in the database. Until a benchmark entry is recorded, the only wins for the NVIDIA part are architectural and specification-based, while the Intel part holds the sole measured performance result.

Specification Differences

The two products differ in almost every measurable specification category. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is built on a 3 nm process with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation uses a 5 nm process with 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, achieving a higher density of 120.6M per mm².

Clock speeds differ markedly. The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The NVIDIA part starts at 1635 MHz base and boosts to 2407 MHz. Memory clocks are also distinct: the Intel part uses system shared memory with no dedicated clock, while the NVIDIA part runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective data rate.

Memory capacity and type are major differentiators. The Intel part has system shared memory with a system shared bus width and system dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA part has 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card also has a 267 mm length, 111 mm height, and 40 mm width, while the Intel part lists no physical dimensions.

Power and interface specifications diverge completely. The Intel part is an IGP with a 65 W TDP, no power connectors, and a ring bus interface. The NVIDIA part is dual-slot, rated at 200 W, uses a single 16-pin power connector, requires a 550 W suggested power supply, and connects via PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are motherboard dependent on the Intel side, while the NVIDIA card provides four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

Compute resources show the largest gap. The Intel part has 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 6 ROPs. The NVIDIA part has 10496 shading units, 328 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. The NVIDIA card also includes 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores; the Intel part has none listed. Pixel rate is 12.00 GPixel/s for Intel versus 269.6 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. Texture rate is 24.00 GTexel/s versus 789.5 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 768.0 GFLOPS versus 50.53 TFLOPS. FP16 is 1.536 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) for Intel versus 50.53 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio) for NVIDIA.

API support is identical: both list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Release dates differ, with the Intel part launched on 2024-10-23 and the NVIDIA part on 2025-03-17. The Intel part’s predecessor is HD Graphics; the NVIDIA part’s predecessor is Workstation Ada. Both are marked as Active in production status.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is based on the Arrow Lake-S chip using the Xe-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation uses the GB203 chip with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, belonging to the Blackwell PRO W (x000) generation. Both are fabricated by TSMC, but at different nodes: 3 nm for Intel, 5 nm for NVIDIA.

The transistor counts reflect a substantial architectural scale difference. Intel packs 17,800 million transistors into 243 mm², while NVIDIA places 45,600 million transistors into 378 mm². The higher density on the NVIDIA chip (120.6M per mm² versus 73.3M per mm²) indicates a more compact arrangement of logic and memory cells despite the larger process node.

Architectural feature sets diverge on compute specialization. The NVIDIA part integrates 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores, enabling hardware-accelerated ray tracing and tensor operations. The Intel part lists no ray tracing or tensor core counts in the database, indicating that these specialized units are either absent or not enumerated for this integrated GPU variant.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The Intel part shares system memory with the host CPU, using a ring bus interface, which ties bandwidth to system configuration. The NVIDIA part uses dedicated GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus with fixed 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, decoupled from system memory constraints.

The FP16 execution ratio highlights another architectural distinction. The Intel part runs FP16 at a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32, meaning it halves throughput for FP16 operations. The NVIDIA part runs FP16 at 1:1, delivering the same 50.53 TFLOPS for both FP16 and FP32. This reflects a different approach to mixed-precision compute, with the NVIDIA architecture maintaining full rate across both formats.

Physical design also differs. The Intel part is an integrated processor with no slot width, power connectors, or suggested PSU, relying on motherboard integration. The NVIDIA part is a dual-slot expansion card, 267 mm long, 111 mm tall, and 40 mm wide, with a 16-pin power connector and a 550 W suggested power supply. Display output is motherboard dependent for Intel, while NVIDIA provides four DisplayPort 2.1b connections on the card itself.

The release timeline shows a staggered introduction: the Intel part launched on 2024-10-23, followed by the NVIDIA part on 2025-03-17. Both carry the same API feature set, including DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, but the underlying hardware implementations differ entirely in scale, memory subsystem, and compute specialization.
