Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent different design philosophies within the same generation of graphics technology. The Radeon 840M is an integrated processor belonging to the Navi III IGP generation, using the RDNA 3.5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process. It is based on the Krackan Point chip and is classified as an IGP, meaning it shares system memory and has no dedicated VRAM. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, is a discrete graphics card from the GeForce 40-series, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD103 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process.

Compute resource allocation differs sharply between the two. The Radeon 840M has 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, 8 ROPs, and 4 ray tracing cores. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 66 RT cores. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also includes 264 tensor cores, while the Radeon 840M has no tensor core listing in the database. These resource counts explain the massive throughput gap: the Radeon 840M delivers 1,484.8 GFLOPS of FP32 performance, whereas the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

The memory subsystem is another major architectural divergence. The Radeon 840M relies on system shared memory with no dedicated bus width, no fixed memory type, and bandwidth that is system dependent. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER carries 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256 bit bus with 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The clock behavior also differs. The Radeon 840M has a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a higher base clock of 2340 MHz but a lower boost clock of 2610 MHz. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon 840M uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The physical form factors are entirely different: the Radeon 840M is an IGP with no slot width, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a triple-slot card measuring 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. The Radeon 840M has portable device dependent display outputs, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon 840M wins in the integrated computing segment. Its 15 W TDP and lack of power connectors make it suitable for portable devices where power delivery and physical space are constrained. The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface and system shared memory design indicate a GPU intended for lightweight, mobile workloads rather than high-end rendering. Its release in 2025 and active production status suggest it is a current-generation integrated solution for new mobile platforms.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins in nearly every performance category. Its 76th percentile ranking versus the Radeon 840M's 50th percentile places it in a different performance tier entirely. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's dedicated 16 GB GDDR6X memory with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth gives it a decisive advantage in memory-intensive tasks. The 264 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for AI acceleration, a feature absent from the Radeon 840M. The 66 RT cores versus 4 RT cores indicates a much stronger ray tracing capability, and the 96 ROPs versus 8 ROPs means substantially higher pixel fill rates.

The specification split is unambiguous. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 33 times more shading units, 16.5 times more TMUs, 12 times more ROPs, and 16.5 times more RT cores than the Radeon 840M. The pixel rate difference is similarly stark: 250.6 GPixel/s versus 23.20 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 689.0 GTexel/s versus 46.40 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is roughly 30 times higher than the Radeon 840M's.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite only for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER; the Radeon 840M has no recorded benchmark scores. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score is 31087, which places it at the 76th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 with an average score of 31206 (0.4% ahead), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q with an average score of 31220 (0.4% ahead), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell with an average score of 31532 (1.4% ahead), and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX with an average score of 31676 (1.9% ahead).

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's strongest recorded result is in Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 199267. Its Geekbench Vulkan score is 53683. In the Passmark suite, the GPU scores 31811 in G3D and 18372 in GPU compute. DirectX tests show 360 in DirectX 9, 278 in DirectX 11, 181 in DirectX 10, and 119 in DirectX 12. The 2D test scores 1225.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test produces a score of 5569 for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The performance distribution across these tests indicates that the GPU delivers its highest relative performance in compute-heavy OpenCL workloads and its lowest in DirectX 10 and DirectX 12 rasterization tests. The gap between the OpenCL score and the DirectX 12 score reflects the GPU's compute-oriented design, which is consistent with its 264 tensor core configuration.

The Radeon 840M's lack of recorded benchmarks means the head-to-head comparison relies on architectural specifications and percentile data. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 76th percentile ranking versus the Radeon 840M's 50th percentile ranking indicates a substantial performance gap, and the absence of any benchmark entries for the Radeon 840M in the database limits direct score comparisons. The specification differences, particularly the 30-fold FP32 throughput advantage and the dedicated memory subsystem of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, support the percentile ranking difference. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's nearest rival deltas, all within 2%, show that its performance is tightly clustered with other high-end GPUs in the database, whereas the Radeon 840M sits in the median tier with no comparable benchmark data recorded.
