The NVIDIA RTX A6000 sits 0.9% ahead with 44,075 points.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, though this reflects the absence of recorded test data rather than measured performance. No rival comparisons exist for this part in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from entirely different design philosophies. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture on Intel's Twin Lake chip, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile uses the Ada Lovelace architecture on the AD103 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC.

The NVIDIA part integrates 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. Intel does not disclose transistor count or die size for its integrated graphics. The RTX 4090 Mobile releases from the GeForce 40-series generation, succeeded the GeForce 30 Mobile, and is followed by the GeForce 50 Mobile. The Intel part belongs to the HD Graphics-T (Twin Lake) generation with no listed predecessor or successor.

Clock speeds differ dramatically. Intel's base clock runs at 300 MHz with a boost of 1000 MHz. NVIDIA's base clock is 1335 MHz, boosting to 1695 MHz. Memory configurations are fundamentally different: Intel uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while NVIDIA features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth. NVIDIA's memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed.

Execution resources scale accordingly. Intel provides 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 4 render output units. NVIDIA provides 9,728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. The NVIDIA part also includes 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores; Intel lists no equivalent hardware.

Compute throughput shows the gap. Intel reaches 384.0 GFLOPS FP32 and 768.0 GFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). NVIDIA reaches 32.98 TFLOPS FP32 and 32.98 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). Pixel rates are 4.000 GPixel/s for Intel versus 189.8 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. Texture rates are 12.00 GTexel/s versus 515.3 GTexel/s.

Power consumption reflects their roles. Intel is rated at 6 W TDP, while NVIDIA is rated at 120 W TDP. Both are classified as IGP (integrated graphics processors) for slot width, and both have portable-device-dependent display outputs. NVIDIA uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface; Intel uses a Ring Bus.

API support differs in DirectX version. Intel supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while NVIDIA supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. NVIDIA lists no power connectors, and neither part has a suggested PSU rating. The RTX 4090 Mobile released in January 2023, while the Intel part appears from December 2024.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4090 Mobile dominates every recorded benchmark category. Its highest relative performance appears in 3D workloads, where the Passmark G3D score of 27,212 represents the strongest result among its own test suite. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 180,831 indicates strong general-purpose compute capability, while the Vulkan score of 170,774 shows comparable graphics API performance.

The NVIDIA part's compute capability extends to ray tracing and tensor operations through its dedicated 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores. These features support workloads that the Intel part cannot address, since Intel lists no equivalent hardware. The 16 GB GDDR6 memory with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth provides capacity and throughput for large datasets, whereas Intel's system-shared memory scales with whatever the host system provides.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no recorded benchmarks, so its strengths must be inferred from its specifications rather than measured results. Its 6 W TDP suggests suitability for low-power portable devices where battery life takes priority over graphics performance. The 10 nm process and Xe-LP architecture target efficiency rather than throughput. System-shared memory means no dedicated VRAM allocation, which simplifies system design but limits peak bandwidth to system-dependent levels.

The 50th percentile ranking for Intel reflects the database's treatment of unmeasured parts, not empirical performance. The RTX 4090 Mobile's 84th percentile places it firmly among high-end mobile GPUs. Its nearest rivals all sit within roughly 1% of its average score, indicating a tightly contested performance tier. The Quadro M6000 trails by 0.8%, the RTX 5050 Mobile trails by 0.9%, and the Quadro M6000 24 GB trails by 0.9%. The RTX A6000 leads by 0.9%.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation of roles. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is a high-performance discrete-class mobile GPU with recorded scores across 2D, 3D, and compute workloads. Its 32.98 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 76 RT cores, and 304 tensor cores equip it for demanding graphics and compute tasks. The 84th percentile ranking and tight competition with the Quadro M6000 and RTX 5050 Mobile confirm its position among capable mobile parts.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile serves a different purpose entirely. As an integrated GPU on a 6 W TDP with system-shared memory, it targets basic display output and light acceleration in low-power devices. The absence of benchmark scores means the database cannot quantify its real-world performance. Its 50th percentile is a placeholder value, not a measurement.

For workloads involving ray tracing, tensor operations, high-resolution textures, or large memory footprints, the RTX 4090 Mobile is the only viable option between these two. The 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth support such tasks. The Intel part cannot match this memory subsystem or compute throughput.

For ultra-portable, fanless designs where power draw must stay minimal, the Intel part's 6 W TDP presents a feasible integrated solution. The RTX 4090 Mobile's 120 W TDP requires substantial cooling and battery capacity. No benchmark data contradicts this assessment, since Intel has no recorded scores.

The RTX 4090 Mobile's predecessor and successor designations (GeForce 30 Mobile and GeForce 50 Mobile) indicate an established product line. The Intel part's active production status and recent release date suggest ongoing availability. Users requiring verified performance should rely on the NVIDIA part's extensive benchmark record.
