Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile vs Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The database places both the Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile and the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, with identical average benchmark scores of zero. This means the recorded data shows no performance separation between the two in aggregate. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is the clear choice for any workload that benefits from ray tracing, as it is the only one of the pair with dedicated RT cores. It also offers substantially higher raw compute throughput, with 2.355 TFLOPS of FP32 performance versus 384.0 GFLOPS for the 24EU part, a 6.1x difference in favor of the Arc part. The 24EU Mobile, by contrast, draws only 6 W of power compared to 25 W for the Arc part, making it the suitable option for ultra-low-power systems where battery life and thermals take priority over graphics performance. Users targeting modern DirectX 12 Ultimate titles or applications that can leverage Vulkan 1.4 with ray tracing should select the Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile. Users building or configuring basic productivity machines, media consumption devices, or lightweight portable systems where the integrated graphics merely need to drive a display should select the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile.

Architecture Differences

The two integrated GPUs come from different Intel architectures and process nodes. The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is built on the Xe3-LPG architecture and uses a 3 nm process node, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture on a 10 nm process node. The Arc part belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation and is based on the Panther Lake chip. The 24EU part belongs to the HD Graphics-T (Twin Lake) generation and is based on the Twin Lake chip. Both are manufactured by Intel.

The shading resources differ significantly. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 render output units. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 4 render output units. This means the Arc part has 2.7x more shading units, 2.7x more TMUs, and 4x more ROPs than the 24EU part.

The most notable architectural difference is ray tracing support. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile includes 4 RT cores, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no RT cores at all. This is a fundamental capability gap that affects which APIs and features each GPU can fully support. The Arc part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), whereas the 24EU part only supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

The memory subsystem is identical in structure for both, with system shared memory, a system shared bus width, and system dependent bandwidth. The clock behavior differs substantially. Both have a 300 MHz base clock, but the Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile boosts to 2300 MHz, while the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile boosts to only 1000 MHz. The Arc part has no dedicated tensor cores, and neither does the 24EU part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data in the database contains no entries, and the win counts for both parts are zero. The recorded data therefore shows no direct benchmark comparisons between these two GPUs. However, the theoretical peak throughput figures from the specification data indicate where each part holds an advantage.

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile achieves a pixel rate of 36.80 GPixel/s, which is 9.2x higher than the 4.000 GPixel/s of the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. This difference comes from the combination of the Arc part having 4x the ROPs and a 2.3x higher boost clock. The texture rate shows a similar gap: the Arc part delivers 73.60 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s for the 24EU part, a 6.1x advantage. The FP32 throughput of 2.355 TFLOPS for the Arc part is 6.1x higher than the 384.0 GFLOPS of the 24EU part. FP16 performance follows the same pattern, with the Arc part delivering 4.710 TFLOPS (2:1) versus 768.0 GFLOPS (2:1) for the 24EU part, again a 6.1x difference.

The boost clock advantage is pronounced: 2300 MHz for the Arc part versus 1000 MHz for the 24EU part. When combined with the larger execution resource pool, the Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile delivers substantially higher fill rates and compute throughput. The 24EU part, however, has a 6 W TDP versus 25 W for the Arc part, which means the 24EU part consumes 19 W less power. The power efficiency comparison, measured as performance per watt, is not directly derivable from the recorded data because the benchmark scores are zero for both parts, but the specification data clearly shows the 24EU part is designed for a much lower power envelope.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile wins in every recorded performance metric. Its pixel rate of 36.80 GPixel/s is 9.2x higher than the 24EU part, its texture rate of 73.60 GTexel/s is 6.1x higher, and its FP32 throughput of 2.355 TFLOPS is 6.1x higher. The 4 RT cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced workloads, a capability the 24EU part completely lacks. The Arc part also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which enables features not available under the DirectX 12 (12_1) profile of the 24EU part. The 2300 MHz boost clock, combined with 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, positions the Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile as the part to choose for gaming, 3D rendering, and any compute-heavy application running on a Panther Lake based system.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins in power efficiency and system integration flexibility. With a 6 W TDP, it consumes 25 W less than the Arc part's 25 W TDP. The Ring Bus interface indicates a different integration approach compared to the IGP interface of the Arc part. The 24EU part is the appropriate choice for Twin Lake based systems where power draw is the primary constraint, such as fanless designs, small form factor portables, or devices where the GPU must share thermal and power budgets with the CPU. Its 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs are sufficient for basic display output, 2D workloads, video playback, and light 3D acceleration, while its 1000 MHz boost clock keeps power consumption low. The 24EU part also has a longer production history, with a release date of 2024-12-31 compared to 2026-01-26 for the Arc part.

The database shows both parts at the 50th percentile with zero average benchmark scores, so the recorded aggregate performance does not separate them. The specification data, however, provides a clear division of roles. The Arc Graphics 4 Xe Mobile is the performance-oriented integrated GPU with ray tracing and 6.1x higher compute throughput. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is the efficiency-oriented integrated GPU with a 6 W TDP and a 10 nm process node. Neither part has any recorded nearest rivals, benchmark entries, or win counts in the database.
