Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between two entirely different market segments. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor built for low-power portable devices, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D is a triple-slot, 425 W discrete flagship designed for maximum performance. The benchmark scores confirm this gulf: the RTX 4090 D holds a 98th percentile ranking among all GPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores. The RTX 4090 D delivers an average benchmark score of 178050 across its recorded tests, whereas the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has an average score of zero due to the absence of any benchmark entries.

The RTX 4090 D is the only choice for demanding workloads. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8587, OpenCL score of 278621, and Vulkan score of 246941 demonstrate capabilities that the Intel integrated part cannot approach. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, with its 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 4 raster output units, targets basic display output and light acceleration for portable devices. The data shows no scenario where the Intel part wins a head-to-head benchmark, as the head-to-head table is empty and the win count for both items is zero.

For system builders, the RTX 4090 D suits desktops requiring PCIe 4.0 x16 connectivity, a 16-pin power connector, an 800 W suggested power supply, and triple-slot clearance. The Intel part suits ultraportable laptops where the 6 W TDP and system-shared memory keep thermal and power envelopes minimal. The RTX 4090 D is end-of-life with a successor in the GeForce 50 series, while the Intel part remains active in production.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins exclusively in the power and integration domain. Its 6 W TDP versus the RTX 4090 D's 425 W TDP represents a factor of roughly 71 in favor of the Intel part. The Intel solution uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, eliminating the need for dedicated VRAM. Its Ring Bus interface and IGP slot width require no additional power connectors, making it suitable for compact, battery-operated devices. The base clock of 300 MHz and boost clock of 1000 MHz are modest but appropriate for the integrated role.

The RTX 4090 D wins every performance category. Its 14592 shading units represent 76 times the Intel part's 192. The 456 texture mapping units and 176 ROPs dwarf the Intel's 12 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The NVIDIA card features 114 ray tracing cores and 456 tensor cores, hardware that the Intel part lacks entirely. Pixel rate reaches 443.5 GPixel/s versus 4.000 GPixel/s, and texture rate hits 1,149.1 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance reaches 73.54 TFLOPS for FP32 and FP16 (1:1) on the NVIDIA side, while the Intel part delivers 384.0 GFLOPS FP32 and 768.0 GFLOPS FP16 (2:1).

The RTX 4090 D also wins in memory architecture. It carries 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus delivering 1.01 TB/s bandwidth. The Intel part uses system-shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent. The NVIDIA part's memory clock runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed, a specification that has no equivalent in the Intel integrated design.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, foundries, and process nodes. Intel builds the Graphics 24EU Mobile on a 10 nm process at Intel foundries, using the Twin Lake chip with Xe-LP architecture from the HD Graphics-T (Twin Lake) generation. NVIDIA builds the RTX 4090 D on a 5 nm process at TSMC, using the AD102 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture from the GeForce 40 series. The transistor counts differ enormously: the RTX 4090 D packs 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die with a density of 125.3M per mm², while the Intel part's transistor count and die size are recorded as unknown.

The NVIDIA GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility overlaps in those areas. The RTX 4090 D includes dedicated ray tracing and tensor hardware, features absent from the Intel design. The Intel part's FP16 performance runs at a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32, indicating a packed math path, whereas the RTX 4090 D achieves FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, matching its FP32 throughput.

Physical specifications diverge completely. The RTX 4090 D measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 61 mm in width, occupying a triple-slot form factor with a single 16-pin power connector. The Intel part is an IGP with no dimensions recorded, no power connectors, and no suggested power supply. The NVIDIA card requires 800 W from the system power supply. The RTX 4090 D uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus interface. Display outputs differ as well: the NVIDIA card provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the Intel part's outputs are portable device dependent.

Release timing and lifecycle also differ. The RTX 4090 D launched on 2023-12-27 with a predecessor in the GeForce 30 series and a successor in the GeForce 50 series, and its production status is end-of-life. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile launched on 2024-12-31 with no predecessor or successor recorded, and its production status is active. The RTX 4090 D carries a launch MSRP of 1,599 USD, while the Intel part has no recorded launch price.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table between these two products is empty, and neither item records a win in the winsA or winsB fields. However, the RTX 4090 D's individual benchmark scores provide the only quantitative comparison available. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test produced a score of 8587 for the RTX 4090 D. The Geekbench OpenCL test scored 278621, and the Geekbench Vulkan test scored 246941. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded in any test, leaving its performance unquantified in the database.

The RTX 4090 D's average benchmark score of 178050 places it among high-end workstation and data center parts. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell with an average score of 182109 (2.2% ahead), the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB at 183725 (3.1% ahead), the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation at 184664 (3.6% ahead), and the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB at 187147 (4.9% ahead). These deltas show the RTX 4090 D trailing the top workstation cards by a small margin, between 2.2% and 4.9%, while still ranking in the 98th percentile overall.

The Intel part's lack of benchmark data means no direct numerical comparison exists. What the database does show is the structural gap: the RTX 4090 D's FP32 throughput of 73.54 TFLOPS versus 384.0 GFLOPS for the Intel part represents a factor of roughly 191. The texture rate difference is even larger, with 1,149.1 GTexel/s versus 12.00 GTexel/s, a factor near 96. Pixel rates show 443.5 GPixel/s versus 4.000 GPixel/s, a factor near 111. These ratios confirm that the RTX 4090 D operates in a completely different performance class, and the Intel part's role is constrained to basic integrated graphics duties in low-power mobile systems.
