Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data draws a sharp line between these two mobile graphics solutions. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile wins every single benchmark category where a score exists. There are no recorded wins for the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, as the database contains no benchmark entries for that part. The Intel solution posts a percentile ranking of 50 against all GPUs, while the RTX 4070 Mobile sits at the 73rd percentile, indicating a substantial gap in overall positioning.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated processor graphics solution built on the Xe-LP architecture. Its role is to provide basic display output and light graphical workloads for portable devices. The RTX 4070 Mobile, by contrast, is a discrete-class mobile GPU with 4608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 48 raster operation units. This hardware configuration targets demanding gaming and compute applications.

Breaking down the wins by workload type, the RTX 4070 Mobile dominates in every category measured. In compute-oriented tests, the Geekbench OpenCL score reaches 109197, while the Geekbench Vulkan score reaches 108367. These results indicate strong general-purpose compute and graphics API performance. The Passmark suite shows consistent wins across DirectX 10, 11, 12, and 9 with scores of 116, 179, 85, and 223 respectively. The Passmark G2D score of 763 reflects 2D graphics capability, and the G3D score of 19587 shows the 3D rendering advantage. The Passmark GPU compute score of 8399 confirms the compute lead.

The Intel part has no recorded scores in any of these tests, so the database shows zero wins for it. The wins are entirely one-sided. For workloads involving modern graphics APIs, ray tracing, tensor operations, or high-resolution gaming, the RTX 4070 Mobile is the only viable option in this comparison.

The Verdict

The database indicates a clear separation in capability tiers. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile serves as a basic integrated solution for systems where power consumption is the primary constraint. Its 6 W thermal design power and system-shared memory reflect a design focused on minimal energy draw and simple display tasks. The RTX 4070 Mobile, with a 115 W thermal design power, 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, and a 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, targets users who need substantial graphics performance.

The verdict from the data is unambiguous. For any workload beyond basic desktop composition, video playback, or lightweight 2D tasks, the RTX 4070 Mobile is the only choice. The RTX 4070 Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes hardware ray tracing via 36 RT cores and AI acceleration via 144 tensor cores. The Intel part only supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and has no RT or tensor cores listed.

Users who prioritize battery life in a thin-and-light portable system might accept the Intel integrated solution, but they must accept the complete absence of competitive benchmark scores. Users who need gaming, 3D rendering, GPU compute, or any performance-sensitive application should select the RTX 4070 Mobile without hesitation, as the recorded data shows no scenario where the Intel part wins.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs, but the individual benchmark scores for the RTX 4070 Mobile provide the full picture. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded at all, meaning every comparison relies on the RTX 4070 Mobile's absolute numbers.

The most significant wins for the RTX 4070 Mobile appear in the Geekbench tests. The OpenCL score of 109197 and the Vulkan score of 108367 represent the highest recorded results in this dataset. These scores indicate that the RTX 4070 Mobile handles both general-purpose compute and graphics API workloads with a high degree of efficiency. The FP32 compute rate of 15.62 TFLOPS and FP16 rate of 15.62 TFLOPS (1:1) support these benchmark results, showing that the GPU maintains full throughput for both precision formats.

The Passmark G3D score of 19587 is the strongest 3D rendering result in the dataset. This score aligns with the pixel rate of 81.36 GPixel/s and texture rate of 244.1 GTexel/s. The RTX 4070 Mobile's 36 RT cores and 144 tensor cores enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS-style AI processing, though the database does not include specific ray tracing benchmark scores.

The Passmark GPU compute score of 8399 reflects the CUDA core throughput. The RTX 4070 Mobile's 4608 shading units operate at a base clock of 1395 MHz and boost to 1695 MHz. The memory subsystem delivers 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth across a 128-bit bus using GDDR6 memory at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). This memory configuration supports high-resolution textures and complex scenes.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, in contrast, has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1000 MHz. Its 192 shading units produce an FP32 rate of 384.0 GFLOPS, which is roughly 40 times lower than the RTX 4070 Mobile's 15.62 TFLOPS. The pixel rate of 4.000 GPixel/s and texture rate of 12.00 GTexel/s are similarly limited. The system-shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent means performance varies with the host platform's memory configuration.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from entirely different architectural lineages. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry. The chip is codenamed Twin Lake and belongs to the HD Graphics-T generation. The RTX 4070 Mobile uses the Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The chip is designated AD106 and belongs to the GeForce 40 Mobile generation.

The Intel part integrates 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. It has no dedicated ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The architecture is designed for low power consumption, evidenced by its 6 W thermal design power. The clock speeds are modest, with a 300 MHz base and 1000 MHz boost. The memory interface is system-shared, meaning the GPU uses the host system's RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. This design choice simplifies the motherboard layout and reduces cost but severely limits memory bandwidth.

The RTX 4070 Mobile uses the AD106 chip with 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². This chip packs 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 36 RT cores, and 144 tensor cores. The base clock is 1395 MHz with a boost clock of 1695 MHz. Memory consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The process node difference is substantial. The 5 nm TSMC process used for the RTX 4070 Mobile enables significantly higher transistor density and clock speeds compared to the 10 nm Intel process. The transistor count difference is also stark: 22,900 million for the NVIDIA chip versus an unknown figure for the Intel chip.

The bus interface differs as well. The RTX 4070 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x8, providing a high-bandwidth connection to the host system. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses a Ring Bus interface, which is typical for integrated graphics and does not require external PCIe lanes. The RTX 4070 Mobile has no power connectors listed, indicating it draws power through the motherboard or proprietary connector. The Intel part also has no power connectors, consistent with its integrated nature.

The production status for both parts is listed as active. The RTX 4070 Mobile was released in January 2023 and has a predecessor in the GeForce 30 Mobile series and a successor in the GeForce 50 Mobile series. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile was released in late December 2024 with no predecessor or successor listed.

The display outputs for both parts are portable device dependent, meaning the actual ports vary by laptop design. The RTX 4070 Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

The average benchmark score for the RTX 4070 Mobile is 27435, placing it near the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (27425), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (27565), NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell (27135), and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839). These nearest rival scores show the RTX 4070 Mobile performing within a narrow band of desktop-class GPUs. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has an average benchmark score of 0 with no nearest rivals listed, confirming that it has no recorded performance data in the database.
