Intel UHD Graphics 24EU Mobile

Intel UHD Graphics 24EU Mobile is a 14 nm integrated graphics processor from Intel, built on the Generation 9.5 architecture and marketed under the Amber Lake GT2 chip. Released on August 20, 2019, it has reached end-of-life status. The GPU operates at a base clock of 300 MHz with a boost clock of 1050 MHz, and it draws a TDP of 15 W. In the benchmark database, it holds a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs, while its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, indicating that no performance samples have been logged. This integrated solution relies on system-shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent, and its display outputs are portable device dependent.

Power and Cooling

The thermal design power of 15 W places this GPU firmly in the low-power segment, typical of integrated graphics for thin-and-light laptops or compact portable devices. Because it is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a slot width of IGP, it does not require a dedicated power connector, and the fact pack lists no suggested PSU. The absence of external power connectors and a recommended power supply underscores that this component is designed to operate entirely within the power envelope of a host system’s motherboard and processor. The 15 W TDP is the only power-related figure provided, and it implies that cooling solutions need only handle modest heat output—likely a passive heatsink or a small fan integrated into the laptop chassis. The memory interface is system shared, meaning the GPU borrows from the host’s main memory; the bandwidth is system dependent, so the effective memory performance varies with the platform’s memory configuration. This design eliminates any need for separate video memory, further reducing power draw and physical footprint. The combination of a 14 nm process and a low TDP suggests efficient operation, though the exact efficiency metrics are not listed.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The Intel UHD Graphics 24EU Mobile does not include dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores; both fields are null in the specification. This means hardware-accelerated ray tracing is absent, and any ray tracing workloads would rely on software implementations, which are generally far less efficient. The GPU does support DirectX 12 (feature level 12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. These API levels indicate compatibility with modern graphics APIs, but the lack of dedicated hardware limits advanced features such as variable rate shading or mesh shaders that are often associated with newer architectures. The absence of tensor cores also precludes AI-accelerated features like DLSS or similar upscaling techniques. For a GPU with a modest FP32 throughput of 403.2 GFLOPS, the feature set is more about baseline compatibility than high-end capabilities. The DirectX 12_1 support ensures that games and applications built for that API can run, but the performance headroom is limited. The fact that the GPU is end-of-life suggests that it will not receive further driver optimizations for new features, though the listed APIs remain supported.

Who Should Consider It

Given its specifications, this GPU is suited for basic computing tasks—office productivity, web browsing, and video playback—rather than demanding 3D workloads. The shading units number 192, with 24 texture mapping units and 3 raster output pipelines. The pixel rate is 3.150 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 25.20 GTexel/s. These figures indicate that the GPU can handle simple 2D rendering and light 3D scenes, but it will struggle with modern games at higher resolutions or detail settings. The FP32 performance of 403.2 GFLOPS places it at the low end of the performance spectrum, and the FP16 throughput of 806.4 GFLOPS (2:1) suggests some capability for compute tasks that leverage half-precision, but again within a narrow envelope. Because the memory bandwidth is system dependent, the actual gaming experience will vary significantly based on the host system’s RAM speed and configuration. For users who primarily run legacy or indie games that do not demand high fill rates, the UHD Graphics 24EU Mobile might suffice at 720p or 1080p with low graphical settings. However, the data does not include any benchmark scores, so real-world performance cannot be quantified. The 50th percentile ranking, while seemingly average, is based on a database that includes discrete GPUs; for an integrated part, this position likely reflects a broad range of entries. In essence, this GPU is not intended for gamers or content creators, but rather for users who need basic graphics output in a power-efficient package.

How It Compares

The fact pack does not list any nearest rivals for this GPU, and no deltaPct values or rival names are provided. Consequently, direct percentage comparisons with specific competing products are not possible. Instead, we can assess its standing through the database’s aggregate percentile. The 50th percentile placement suggests that, within the entire pool of GPUs tracked, this part sits at the midpoint—neither at the bottom nor the top. However, the average benchmark score of 0 indicates that no actual performance data has been captured, so the percentile may be a placeholder or based on a limited set of characteristics. Without rival data, we cannot state whether it outperforms or lags behind any particular integrated or discrete solution. The absence of a suggested PSU and power connectors further differentiates it from discrete GPUs, which typically require additional power delivery. The bus interface is a Ring Bus, which is common for Intel integrated graphics, connecting the GPU to the CPU and memory controller. The display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning the actual ports (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) are determined by the laptop or device manufacturer, not the GPU itself. In summary, the lack of rival entries means the comparison must be qualitative: this is a low-power, low-performance integrated part, as evidenced by its modest clock speeds, small number of execution units, and reliance on shared system memory.

Benchmark Performance

No benchmark scores are recorded for the Intel UHD Graphics 24EU Mobile; the average benchmark score is 0. The only quantitative performance indicators are the theoretical throughput figures. The FP32 rate of 403.2 GFLOPS is a raw measure of single-precision compute capability, which is a fraction of what modern discrete GPUs offer. The FP16 rate of 806.4 GFLOPS (2:1) indicates that half-precision operations can run at twice the rate, but this is still a limited amount of compute for tasks like machine learning inference or scientific simulation. The pixel rate of 3.150 GPixel/s and texture rate of 25.20 GTexel/s further define the GPU’s rendering limits. With only 3 ROPs, the fill-rate for final pixel output is extremely constrained, which will bottleneck any application that requires heavy overdraw or high-resolution framebuffers. The 24 TMUs can process textures, but the low texture rate means that detailed texture mapping will quickly become a bottleneck. The boost clock of 1050 MHz is modest, and the base clock of 300 MHz indicates that the GPU may downclock significantly under light loads to save power. In the absence of benchmark data, these theoretical numbers suggest that the GPU is suitable for 2D desktop composition and video decode, but not for 3D gaming beyond the most casual titles. The 50th percentile ranking, if taken at face value, would imply parity with the median GPU in the database, but given the absence of any benchmark scores, that ranking cannot be validated. The lack of nearest rivals and deltaPct values means we cannot express performance relative to specific competitors. Therefore, any assessment must rely on the raw specifications, which clearly position this as an entry-level, power-efficient solution for basic graphics tasks.
