Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile vs NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile and the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation. The Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores, while the NVIDIA card has two: 124,812 in Geekbench OpenCL and 109,364 in Geekbench Vulkan, for an average of 117,088. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, whereas the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation sits at the 95th percentile. That percentile gap indicates a massive performance chasm, with the NVIDIA card placing in the top 5% of all recorded GPUs while the Intel part lands exactly in the middle of the distribution.

The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals in the database help contextualize its score. The NVIDIA GB10 scores 117,393, which is 0.3% higher than the RTX 4000 SFF. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 scores 118,976, which is 1.6% higher. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114,395, which is 2.4% lower. The NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile scores 113,944, which is 2.8% lower. These tight margins place the RTX 4000 SFF in a competitive cluster of professional and workstation-class GPUs, all within roughly 3% of each other.

Because the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded, the performance comparison must be inferred from specifications and architectural differences rather than measured results. The Intel part's FP32 throughput is 384.0 GFLOPS, while the NVIDIA card delivers 19.17 TFLOPS, which is roughly 50 times higher. Texture fill rates tell a similar story: 12.00 GTexel/s for Intel versus 299.5 GTexel/s for NVIDIA, a factor of about 25. Pixel fill rates show 4.000 GPixel/s for Intel versus 99.84 GPixel/s for NVIDIA, a factor of about 25 as well. These are not close comparisons; the NVIDIA card operates in a different performance tier entirely.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile uses the Twin Lake chip built on Intel's Xe-LP architecture, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. It belongs to the HD Graphics-T generation. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation uses the AD104 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA card packs 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The Intel part's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown.

The Intel part has 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 4 raster operation units. It has no dedicated ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. It includes 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores. This means the NVIDIA card has 32 times the shading units, 16 times the TMUs, and 16 times the ROPs compared to the Intel part.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1000 MHz. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF has a base clock of 720 MHz and a boost clock of 1560 MHz. The NVIDIA card's memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective, while the Intel part uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

The Intel part's FP16 throughput is 768.0 GFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning it halves FP32 throughput when doing FP16 work. The NVIDIA card's FP16 throughput is 19.17 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, meaning it maintains full throughput for FP16 operations. This architectural difference matters for compute workloads that use mixed precision.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor with a 6 W TDP and a Ring Bus interface. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF is a dual-slot discrete card with a 70 W TDP, a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, and a suggested PSU of 250 W. The NVIDIA card has no power connectors, drawing all its power from the PCIe slot. The Intel part has no dedicated power connectors either, but as an IGP it draws power through the motherboard.

Memory configurations are fundamentally different. The Intel part uses system shared memory with a system shared bus width and system dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA card has 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 280.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card's memory capacity alone places it in a different class for large datasets and textures.

DirectX support differs as well. The Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card's 12_2 feature level enables advanced ray tracing and mesh shader features that the Intel part cannot access.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear separation between these two GPUs. The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile is an integrated processor with a 6 W TDP, designed for basic graphics output on portable devices. Its 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it in the middle of the performance distribution, but with no recorded benchmark scores, its actual measured performance is unknown. Its specifications suggest it handles light workloads: 192 shading units, 12 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and a 1000 MHz boost clock.

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation is a professional workstation card with a 70 W TDP, 20 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 6,144 shading units. Its 95th percentile ranking places it among the top 5% of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 117,088 puts it in close competition with the NVIDIA GB10, AMD Radeon PRO W7700, NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB, and NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile, all within roughly 3% of each other.

For anyone building a system that needs to render complex scenes, process large datasets, or handle compute workloads, the NVIDIA card is the only viable choice based on the recorded data.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation wins in every measured and specified performance category. Its FP32 throughput of 19.17 TFLOPS dwarfs the Intel part's 384.0 GFLOPS. Its 280.0 GB/s memory bandwidth from 20 GB of GDDR6 vastly exceeds the Intel part's system dependent shared memory. Its 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores enable ray tracing and AI workloads that the Intel part cannot handle at all. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate support enables the latest graphics features. Its 95th percentile ranking confirms its position among top-tier GPUs.

The Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile wins in power efficiency. Its 6 W TDP is a fraction of the NVIDIA card's 70 W TDP. For systems where power draw is critical, such as fanless portable devices or low-power embedded systems, the Intel part consumes far less energy. It is an integrated processor with no additional slot requirement, making it suitable for ultra-compact designs. Its Ring Bus interface and system shared memory mean no dedicated VRAM allocation is needed.

The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals in the database show it is competitive with other professional GPUs. It trails the NVIDIA GB10 by 0.3% and the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 by 1.6%, but leads the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB by 2.4% and the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile by 2.8%. These margins are small enough that workload-specific factors would determine the best choice among these cards.

For compute-heavy tasks like 3D rendering, scientific simulation, or machine learning inference, the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF is the clear choice. For basic display output, light 2D workloads, or power-constrained systems, the Intel Graphics 24EU Mobile serves a completely different purpose. The database shows no overlap in their intended use cases or performance capabilities.
