Intel Arc A310E and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile occupy opposite ends of the graphics spectrum, with the database showing a 75th percentile ranking for the RTX 5070 Mobile versus a 50th percentile for the Arc A310E. The recorded benchmark suite contains nine scores for the RTX 5070 Mobile, while the Arc A310E has no benchmark entries, making direct score comparisons impossible. The RTX 5070 Mobile carries an average benchmark score of 29,928 across its tests, a figure that places it within 0.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which scores 29,945. The data indicates the RTX 5070 Mobile also edges out the RTX 2080 Ti by 0.5%, with the latter at 29,783, while trailing the AMD Radeon RX 6800 by 0.6% (30,095) and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 by 1.7% (30,433).
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The RTX 5070 Mobile delivers its strongest recorded result in the Geekbench OpenCL test, scoring 122,238. Its Geekbench Vulkan score reaches 116,960, which indicates a high level of compute throughput under graphics API workloads. The Passmark G3D score of 20,355 further confirms its position as a high-end mobile part, while the Passmark GPU Compute score of 8,279 shows substantial parallel processing capability. The DirectX 9 score of 214, DirectX 11 score of 192, and DirectX 10 score of 129 demonstrate legacy API performance, with DirectX 12 scoring 93. The Passmark G2D score of 896 covers 2D operations.
The Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its measured performance cannot be directly compared to the RTX 5070 Mobile. The absence of data means the head-to-head comparison relies on architectural and specification differences rather than empirical test results. The Arc A310E's 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits near the middle of all GPUs tracked, while the RTX 5070 Mobile's 75th percentile places it in the upper quartile.
The nearest rival data for the RTX 5070 Mobile provides context for its positioning. Its average score of 29,928 is essentially identical to the RTX 3070 Ti at 29,945, a difference of only 0.1%. Against the RTX 2080 Ti, the RTX 5070 Mobile holds a 0.5% advantage. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 leads by 0.6%, and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 leads by 1.7%. These deltas show that the RTX 5070 Mobile competes directly with previous-generation high-end desktop cards, despite being a mobile part.
The Arc A310E shows no nearest rivals in the database, meaning its competitive positioning cannot be established through the same method. Its 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 32.00 GPixel/s pixel rate indicate a low-power entry-level design, while the RTX 5070 Mobile's 13.13 TFLOPS FP32 and 68.40 GPixel/s pixel rate show a much higher compute ceiling. The RTX 5070 Mobile also delivers 205.2 GTexel/s texture rate versus 64.00 GTexel/s for the Arc A310E.
