Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB occupy vastly different performance tiers, and the recorded benchmark data confirms this divide. The Intel part has no individual benchmark scores in the database and an average benchmark score of 0, while the NVIDIA card carries eight recorded test results. The most direct comparison available is the average benchmark score: the RTX 5060 Ti records 4970, compared to 0 for the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile. This gap represents the fundamental performance difference between an integrated graphics processor designed for basic display output and a dedicated add-in board built for demanding workloads.

Looking at the NVIDIA card's individual results, the PassMark G3D score of 22618 stands as its strongest showing in the database. This test measures overall 3D graphics performance, and the score indicates the card's substantial capability in rendering complex scenes. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 11224 further demonstrates its processing power for general-purpose computation. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4019 shows its performance in modern DirectX 12 gaming workloads. These three benchmarks together paint a picture of a GPU that delivers strong results across both gaming and compute applications.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score of 0 and its percentile rank of 50 among all GPUs in the database suggest it sits at a different performance level entirely. The database records no head-to-head benchmark wins for either product, with winsA and winsB both at 0. This absence of direct comparison data means the analysis must rely on the architectural specifications and the NVIDIA card's recorded performance figures.

The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB shows consistency across its PassMark DirectX tests, with scores of 238 for DirectX 9, 144 for DirectX 10, 219 for DirectX 11, and 89 for DirectX 12. The lower DirectX 12 score relative to older API versions is notable, as is the PassMark G2D score of 1206, which measures 2D graphics performance. These results, combined with the average score of 4970, place the card in a specific performance bracket. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 with an average score of 4979 (a delta of -0.2 percent), the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics at 4998 (-0.6 percent), the AMD Radeon R7 M360 at 4931 (+0.8 percent), and the AMD Radeon R7 M265 at 4929 (+0.8 percent). The RTX 5060 Ti sits within 1 percent of all four rivals, indicating it occupies a tightly contested performance tier in the database's rankings.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, use different process nodes, and employ entirely different architectures. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Xe-LP architecture built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry. Its chip is codenamed Twin Lake, and it belongs to the HD Graphics-T (Twin Lake) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Its chip is the GB206, and it belongs to the GeForce 50 series.

The transistor counts reveal a significant scale difference. The Intel part has an unknown transistor count, while the NVIDIA chip contains 21,900 million transistors on a die size of 181 mm². This yields a transistor density of 121.0 million transistors per square millimeter for the NVIDIA GPU. The Intel chip's die size is also unknown, but its 10 nm process node and integrated design suggest a much smaller and simpler implementation.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile runs at a base clock of 300 MHz with a boost clock of 1000 MHz. The NVIDIA card operates at a base clock of 2407 MHz and a boost clock of 2572 MHz, more than double the Intel part's maximum boost frequency. Memory configurations are also fundamentally different: the Intel GPU uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the NVIDIA card has 16 GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The compute resources show the largest architectural gap. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 4 raster output units. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB has 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Additionally, the NVIDIA card includes 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores, features absent from the Intel part. These resource differences translate directly into throughput figures: the Intel GPU delivers 4.000 GPixel/s pixel rate, 12.00 GTexel/s texture rate, and 384.0 GFLOPS of FP32 performance. The NVIDIA card delivers 123.5 GPixel/s, 370.4 GTexel/s, and 23.70 TFLOPS of FP32, representing a massive advantage in every measured throughput category.

API support also differs. The Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The DirectX 12 Ultimate designation on the NVIDIA card indicates support for features like ray tracing and mesh shaders, which the Intel GPU's DirectX 12 (12_1) level does not encompass.

The Verdict

The data shows two products designed for entirely different purposes. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor with a 6 W TDP, system shared memory, and no dedicated VRAM. Its performance metrics, including 384.0 GFLOPS of FP32 and 4.000 GPixel/s pixel rate, align with basic display output and light 2D workloads. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is a dedicated dual-slot card with a 180 W TDP, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, and 23.70 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Its average benchmark score of 4970 and its recorded test results, including a PassMark G3D score of 22618, indicate substantial 3D rendering and compute capability.

The RTX 5060 Ti's nearest rivals in the database, all within 1 percent of its average score, are other dedicated or integrated graphics solutions from the same era. This clustering suggests the card's performance level is well established in the database. The Intel part has no benchmarks and no rivals listed, placing it in a separate category altogether.

For users whose workloads involve 3D gaming, GPU compute, or content creation, the benchmark data clearly favors the NVIDIA card. Its 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores enable features the Intel GPU cannot offer. For users who need only basic display output for a portable device, the Intel part's 6 W TDP and system shared memory design serve that purpose with minimal power consumption.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB wins in every measurable performance category. Its 23.70 TFLOPS of FP32 performance versus 384.0 GFLOPS for the Intel part represents a 61.7x advantage. Its 448.0 GB/s of dedicated memory bandwidth versus system dependent shared memory eliminates any competition in memory-intensive workloads. The 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced graphics and AI workloads, capabilities entirely absent from the Intel GPU.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins in power efficiency and physical footprint. Its 6 W TDP versus 180 W for the NVIDIA card means it consumes 3 percent of the power. Its IGP slot width versus dual-slot means it requires no expansion slot, no power connector, and no suggested PSU. The Intel part's release date of 2024-12-31 also precedes the NVIDIA card's 2025-04-15 release.

The database's percentile rankings reinforce the separation: the Intel part ranks at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA card ranks at the 29th percentile. This percentile metric, combined with the absence of benchmark scores for the Intel part and the presence of eight recorded scores for the NVIDIA card, indicates that the RTX 5060 Ti operates in a measurable, competitive performance tier. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile operates below the threshold where the database records meaningful benchmark results. For any workload that requires 3D acceleration, compute throughput, or modern graphics API features, the NVIDIA card is the only viable choice based on the recorded data.
