Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent distinct architecture generations from Intel. The Arc Pro B50 is built on the Xe2-HPG microarchitecture, the high-performance graphics variant used in the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. Its chip, the BMG-G21, is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The database records 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². This is a substantial, modern discrete GPU design.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture, which is Intel's low-power graphics design. It is integrated into the Twin Lake chip and fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process. The database lists transistor count and die size as unknown, reflecting its nature as a small integrated component within a larger system-on-chip. The "24EU" designation refers to its 24 execution units, which corresponds to its 192 shading units.

The feature sets diverge significantly. The Arc Pro B50 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the integrated GPU only supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The Arc Pro B50 includes 16 ray tracing cores, enabling hardware-accelerated ray tracing, a feature entirely absent from the Graphics 24EU Mobile. The discrete card also has tensor cores listed as null in the database, meaning they are not a differentiating feature for this comparison. The Arc Pro B50 exposes four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the integrated GPU's display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent."

The memory architecture is another fundamental difference. The Arc Pro B50 has a dedicated 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with a 128-bit bus, achieving 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Graphics 24EU Mobile has no dedicated memory; it uses System Shared memory, with bandwidth described as System Dependent. This means the integrated GPU's performance is heavily influenced by the host system's memory speed and configuration.

The Verdict

The data indicates these are products for entirely different use cases. The Intel Arc Pro B50 is a professional-grade discrete GPU. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, 2048 shading units, and ray tracing support position it for workstation tasks like content creation, CAD, and GPU-accelerated compute. Its 70 W TDP, dual-slot form factor, and four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs confirm it is meant to be installed in a desktop workstation with a 250 W power supply. The launch MSRP is 349 USD.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated GPU for low-power portable devices. Its 6 W TDP, IGP slot width, and reliance on system memory indicate it is built into a mobile processor for basic display output and light graphics workloads. It has no dedicated memory, no ray tracing cores, and only 192 shading units. Its performance is constrained by its 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost clocks.

Benchmark results confirm the performance gap. The Arc Pro B50 scores 12553 in Passmark G3D and 6037 in Passmark GPU Compute. The Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The Arc Pro B50's average benchmark score of 2660 places it near the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2662, 0.1% difference) and NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664, 0.2% difference), indicating it offers entry-level discrete performance. The integrated GPU, despite its 50th percentile ranking, has no measurable performance data recorded.

Users requiring a discrete GPU for professional applications should choose the Arc Pro B50. Users needing basic graphics for a portable device should rely on the integrated Graphics 24EU Mobile, which requires no additional power or cooling.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs, and the Graphics 24EU Mobile has no individual benchmark scores recorded. The comparison must therefore rely on the Arc Pro B50's absolute scores and its position relative to other GPUs.

The Arc Pro B50's recorded benchmarks are as follows:

• 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12: 1604
• Passmark DirectX 10: 58
• Passmark DirectX 11: 100
• Passmark DirectX 12: 64
• Passmark DirectX 9: 144
• Passmark G2D: 717
• Passmark G3D: 12553
• Passmark GPU Compute: 6037

The Passmark G3D score of 12553 is the primary gaming and general 3D performance indicator. The GPU Compute score of 6037 shows its capability for compute workloads. The DirectX 11 score of 100 is the highest among the API-specific tests, while DirectX 12 scores only 64 and DirectX 10 scores 58. The DirectX 9 score of 144 suggests strong legacy API performance.

In the absence of any recorded scores for the Graphics 24EU Mobile, the database shows zero benchmark wins for the integrated GPU and zero wins for the Arc Pro B50 in head-to-head tests. The Arc Pro B50's average benchmark score of 2660 places it in the 17th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (average score 2662, 0.1% higher), NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664, 0.2% higher), NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (2645, 0.6% lower), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER (2690, 1.1% higher). This shows the Arc Pro B50 performs within a narrow band around these established GPUs, with the largest delta being only 1.1% against the RTX 5070 SUPER.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile, with no benchmarks and an average score of 0, cannot be directly compared numerically. Its 50th percentile ranking appears to reflect its integration into a widely used mobile processor rather than any measured graphics performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc Pro B50 wins in every measurable performance category. Its FP32 throughput of 10.65 TFLOPS is over 27 times higher than the integrated GPU's 384.0 GFLOPS. Its texture rate of 332.8 GTexel/s dwarfs the 12.00 GTexel/s of the integrated part. Its pixel rate of 41.60 GPixel/s is more than 10 times the 4.000 GPixel/s of the Graphics 24EU Mobile.

The Arc Pro B50 also wins on memory. It has 16 GB of dedicated GDDR6 with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the integrated GPU depends on system memory with unspecified bandwidth. This gives the discrete card a decisive advantage in memory-intensive workloads like large textures, high-resolution rendering, and data-heavy compute tasks.

The discrete GPU wins on connectivity. It offers four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, supporting multi-monitor professional setups. The integrated GPU's display outputs are dependent on the portable device, offering no fixed multi-display capability.

The Arc Pro B50 wins on API support. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support enables features like ray tracing and mesh shaders, which the integrated GPU's DirectX 12 (12_1) cannot provide. The 16 ray tracing cores on the Arc Pro B50 are a clear win for applications that use hardware ray tracing.

The Graphics 24EU Mobile wins on power efficiency and physical integration. Its 6 W TDP is a fraction of the Arc Pro B50's 70 W, making it suitable for fanless or passively cooled portable devices. It requires no power connectors, no suggested PSU, and no expansion slot, as it is an IGP on a Ring Bus interface. It also has no dimensions recorded, as it is not a physical card. For battery-powered devices where graphics performance is secondary, the integrated GPU is the appropriate choice.

The release dates show the integrated GPU came first (2024-12-31) and the discrete card followed (2025-09-04). The Arc Pro B50 is the only one with a launch MSRP of 349 USD. The production status for both is listed as Active.

In summary, the Arc Pro B50 wins all performance and feature comparisons, while the Graphics 24EU Mobile wins on power draw and integration simplicity. The choice depends entirely on whether the use case demands dedicated graphics performance or minimal power consumption in a portable form factor.
