AMD Radeon 840M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

AMD Radeon 840M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER: a comparison that spans the entire spectrum of the GPU performance hierarchy. The data in the database presents a stark contrast between an integrated processor graphics solution and a dedicated add-in board, with the only recorded benchmark result heavily favoring one side. This analysis breaks down the head-to-head performance, architectural differences, and specification gaps based exclusively on recorded measurements.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one direct benchmark measurement for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, while the AMD Radeon 840M has no recorded benchmark scores. This absence of data for the Radeon 840M makes a direct quantitative comparison of measured results impossible. However, the available data for the RTX 5070 SUPER provides a clear context for its performance tier.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2,690 points in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This score positions it within the 18th percentile of all GPUs in the database, indicating that it outperforms the majority of recorded graphics hardware. The nearest rivals in the database, based on average scores, are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2,664 points, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2,662 points, and the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2,660 points. The RTX 5070 SUPER holds a 1% lead over the Quadro K1100M, a 1.1% lead over the GT 1030, and a 1.1% lead over the Intel Arc Pro B50. It also leads the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440, which scores 2,645 points, by 1.7%.

These deltas are narrow, showing that the RTX 5070 SUPER's recorded performance is closely matched with those specific older or lower-tier cards. The 2,690 score is the sole data point for this GPU, and it establishes a baseline for its rasterization performance in that specific DirectX 12 workload. For the AMD Radeon 840M, the lack of any benchmark entries means its relative performance against these rivals cannot be stated from the recorded data. The database shows zero wins for the Radeon 840M and zero wins for the RTX 5070 SUPER in head-to-head matchups, as no direct comparisons were captured.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures and process nodes. The AMD Radeon 840M uses the RDNA 3.5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a 5 nm TSMC process. Both are fabricated by TSMC, but the Radeon 840M's node is more advanced in process size. The Radeon 840M is part of the Navi III IGP generation, based on the Krackan Point chip. The RTX 5070 SUPER belongs to the GeForce 50 series, built around the GB205 chip.

The Radeon 840M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP), meaning its memory and bus width are system shared and dependent on the host platform. Its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown. In contrast, the RTX 5070 SUPER is a discrete GPU with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The RTX 5070 SUPER's memory subsystem is dedicated: 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 840M's memory bandwidth is simply "System Dependent," with no fixed figure.

Feature sets also diverge significantly. The RTX 5070 SUPER includes 200 tensor cores, which are absent (null) in the Radeon 840M's specifications. Ray tracing cores are present in both, with 50 in the RTX 5070 SUPER and 4 in the Radeon 840M. The API support is identical, with both supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a dual-slot form factor and requires a 16-pin power connector, while the Radeon 840M is an IGP with no power connectors and a slot width listed as "IGP."

The Verdict

The data shows a clear divide in intended use cases. The AMD Radeon 840M is an integrated processor, designed for portable devices with a 15 W TDP, no dedicated power connectors, and system-shared memory. Its performance metrics, such as 1,484.8 GFLOPS FP32 and 23.20 GPixel/s pixel rate, are modest by design. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a discrete, dual-slot card with a 275 W TDP, a 16-pin connector, and 18 GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory. Its compute figures, including 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 and 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, are orders of magnitude higher.

For users requiring high-resolution or high-frame-rate gaming, the RTX 5070 SUPER's 6,400 shading units, 50 RT cores, and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth provide the necessary resources. Its recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2,690 confirms functional performance. The Radeon 840M, with 256 shading units and 4 RT cores, targets basic graphics tasks and low-power operation. The choice between these two is dictated by the system form factor: the Radeon 840M is inseparable from its host processor, while the RTX 5070 SUPER is a standalone component. The data does not support a performance comparison, as only one side has benchmark results. The RTX 5070 SUPER is the only option for dedicated, high-throughput graphics work, while the Radeon 840M serves the integrated, power-constrained segment.
