AMD Radeon 780M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows two direct head-to-head comparisons between the AMD Radeon 780M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, and the NVIDIA part dominates both. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143870 against the 780M's 18602, a delta of -87.1% for the AMD part. That is a massive gap, roughly 7.7 times the raw score of the integrated solution, and it reflects the sheer difference in compute resources available to each chip.

The Vulkan result is closer in relative terms but still decisively one-sided. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile posts 139213, while the 780M manages 33683, a delta of -75.8%. This shows the NVIDIA part holds a smaller but still overwhelming advantage in Vulkan workloads, likely due to the API's lower overhead benefiting the discrete card's larger shader array. The 780M's Vulkan score is actually more competitive against its own OpenCL result, suggesting the integrated GPU scales better in that API, but it remains far behind the discrete offering.

Looking at broader averages, the gap persists. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has an average benchmark score of 35435 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The 780M averages 17588 and sits at the 61st percentile. The NVIDIA part's nearest rivals in the database include the Quadro GV100 at 35520 (-0.2%), the Radeon Pro Duo at 35860 (-1.2%), and the A2 at 34690 (+2.1%). The 780M's nearest rivals are far less powerful: the Radeon Pro 560 at 17551 (+0.2%), the RTX 4060 at 17639 (-0.3%), and the HD 7790 at 17666 (-0.4%). This positioning confirms the 780M competes with mid-range discrete GPUs from several generations ago, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits near workstation-class hardware.

The head-to-head tally shows 2 wins for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile and 0 for the 780M. No test in the shared set favors the AMD integrated part.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different architectural families and manufacturing processes. The AMD Radeon 780M uses the Phoenix chip built on RDNA 3.0, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also made by TSMC but on a 5 nm node. The process node difference is small, yet the transistor counts diverge sharply: the 780M packs 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile carries 31,100 million transistors on a larger 263 mm² die. Transistor density tells the story of the process advantage: 142.6M per mm² for AMD versus 118.3M per mm² for NVIDIA.

Core counts separate the two even further. The 780M has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile offers 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. That is over 7.6 times the shading units and nearly 4 times the TMUs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: 12 RT cores on the AMD chip versus 46 on the NVIDIA chip. The NVIDIA part additionally includes 184 tensor cores, while the 780M has none listed.

Clock behavior is notable. The 780M runs a base clock of 800 MHz and boosts to 2900 MHz, a wide boost range typical of a low-power integrated part. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a lower base of 847 MHz and a much lower boost of 1447 MHz, indicating the discrete card relies on its massive core count rather than raw clock speed. Pixel rate favors NVIDIA at 115.8 GPixel/s versus 92.80 GPixel/s, and texture rate is nearly double at 266.2 GTexel/s versus 139.2 GTexel/s. FP32 compute output reaches 17.04 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA part versus 8.909 TFLOPS on the AMD part, again roughly a 1.9 times advantage.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The 780M uses system shared memory with bus width, bandwidth, and capacity all system dependent. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 12 GB of dedicated GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD part's memory clock is simply listed as system shared, while the NVIDIA memory runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

Power targets also differ substantially. The 780M has a TDP of 15 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile draws 60 W. Both are listed as IGP slot width with no power connectors, but the 60 W figure indicates the NVIDIA chip needs active cooling and a robust power delivery system in a laptop chassis. The AMD part can plausibly run in thin-and-light designs with minimal thermal headroom.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins every recorded head-to-head test, so its strengths are straightforward. The OpenCL score of 143870 indicates strong compute throughput for GPGPU workloads, and the Vulkan score of 139213 shows solid graphics API performance. The 184 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for AI-accelerated tasks, and the 46 RT cores handle ray tracing workloads. The 12 GB GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth supports large datasets and high-resolution textures without system memory contention. The 60 W TDP, while higher than the AMD part, allows for sustained performance in gaming laptops with adequate cooling.

The 780M wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 15 W TDP is a quarter of the NVIDIA part's 60 W, and it requires no dedicated memory because it uses system shared resources. This makes it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where discrete graphics is not an option. The 2900 MHz boost clock is notably higher than the NVIDIA part's 1447 MHz, indicating the AMD chip can ramp aggressively when thermal headroom permits. The 780M's FP32 output of 8.909 TFLOPS is respectable for an integrated part, and its 12 RT cores offer entry-level ray tracing capability. The 61st percentile ranking places it above many older discrete GPUs in the database, confirming it handles mainstream gaming at modest settings.

The Verdict

The data separates these two GPUs cleanly by class and intent. The AMD Radeon 780M is an integrated graphics processor with a 15 W TDP, system shared memory, and a 61st percentile ranking. It delivers 8.909 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and competes with older discrete cards like the Radeon Pro 560 and the RTX 4060 in average score. Its 2900 MHz boost clock and 4 nm process give it strong efficiency for its role. This is a part for ultraportable laptops where power draw and physical space are the primary constraints.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is a discrete-class mobile GPU with a 60 W TDP, 12 GB GDDR7, and an 80th percentile ranking. It nearly doubles the FP32 throughput at 17.04 TFLOPS, offers over 7 times the shading units, and includes 184 tensor cores plus 46 RT cores. Its nearest rivals are workstation parts like the Quadro GV100 and Radeon Pro Duo, which shows the performance tier it occupies. The 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and PCIe 5.0 x16 interface support high-end gaming and compute workloads.

Users choosing between these two should base the decision on the host system. The 780M fits in a laptop with no discrete GPU option, no dedicated VRAM, and minimal cooling. It delivers playable performance for light gaming and general graphics tasks within a 15 W envelope. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile requires a chassis designed for discrete graphics, with 60 W of cooling capacity and a PCIe 5.0 slot. The benchmark records show no scenario where the 780M outperforms the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, so any workload that demands maximum graphics throughput points to the NVIDIA part. The 780M's advantages are strictly efficiency, integration, and lower power draw, not raw performance.
