Intel Arc A380M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Arc A380M has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile carries a full set of scores across multiple test suites. This means the comparison is one-sided by definition, but the available data for the RTX 5070 Mobile still provides a clear picture of its performance tier.

The RTX 5070 Mobile scores 122,238 in Geekbench OpenCL and 116,960 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its Passmark G3D score is 20,355, with a Passmark GPU Compute score of 8,279. Legacy DirectX tests show 214 in DirectX 9, 192 in DirectX 11, 129 in DirectX 10, and 93 in DirectX 12. The G2D score is 896.

The average benchmark score for the RTX 5070 Mobile is 29,928. The database places it in the 75th percentile of all GPUs, which puts it well above the midpoint. Its nearest rivals in the database are all desktop-class cards. The RTX 5070 Mobile sits 0.1% behind the RTX 3070 Ti, 0.5% ahead of the RTX 2080 Ti, 0.6% behind the RX 6800, and 1.7% behind the RX 6700. These deltas are small, meaning the mobile part lands in a tight performance band around those established desktop GPUs.

For the Arc A380M, the database lists zero benchmark scores, zero average score, and zero wins in any head-to-head comparison. The percentile ranking is 50, which is the midpoint of the distribution, but that ranking is not supported by any recorded measurements. There are no nearest rivals listed for the A380M, so the data offers no comparative anchor for it.

The head-to-head benchmark table is empty. No individual test results exist for the A380M, and the wins counter shows zero for both sides. The RTX 5070 Mobile has no recorded wins either, simply because there are no paired tests to produce them. The data does not allow a direct score-by-score comparison, but it does show that the RTX 5070 Mobile has a rich benchmark profile while the A380M has none.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Mobile wins on every measurable benchmark category in the database. It has recorded scores in Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, and six Passmark tests, while the Arc A380M has no recorded scores at all. The NVIDIA part also wins on raw compute resources: more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more ray tracing cores, and the only tensor cores in the comparison.

The RTX 5070 Mobile wins on memory bandwidth by a wide margin, 384.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s. It also has more memory capacity at 8 GB versus 6 GB, and a newer memory type, GDDR7 versus GDDR6. Its FP32 throughput is 13.13 TFLOPS versus 4.096 TFLOPS, and its texture rate is 205.2 GTexel/s versus 128.0 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate is slightly higher, 68.40 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s.

The Arc A380M wins on clock speed. Its base clock of 1550 MHz and boost clock of 2000 MHz are higher than the RTX 5070 Mobile's 907 MHz base and 1425 MHz boost. It also has a lower TDP, 35 W versus 50 W, which points to lower power draw on paper. Those are the only areas where the Intel part leads, and neither translates into a benchmark win in the database.

The RTX 5070 Mobile sits in the 75th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29,928. The Arc A380M sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero. The database records no wins for either GPU in head-to-head testing, but the absence of any A380M benchmark data means its percentile ranking is not backed by measurements.

In practical terms, the RTX 5070 Mobile is the only one of the two with evidence of usable performance. The Arc A380M has no data indicating it can compete in any workload measured by the database.

The Verdict

The data supports only one choice for any workload that requires actual graphics or compute performance: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile. It has a complete benchmark profile with strong scores across OpenCL, Vulkan, and Passmark tests. It ranks in the 75th percentile of all GPUs and lands within a narrow margin of established desktop cards like the RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 2080 Ti, RX 6800, and RX 6700. Those deltas range from 1.7% behind to 0.5% ahead, which places it in solid desktop-class territory despite being a mobile part.

The Intel Arc A380M has no benchmark scores in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking is not supported by any recorded measurements. It has lower compute throughput, lower memory bandwidth, fewer execution units, and no tensor cores. Its only advantages are higher clock speeds and a lower TDP, but neither is validated by any performance test.

The RTX 5070 Mobile is the appropriate pick for anyone needing proven performance in a laptop form factor. The Arc A380M is a low-power mobile chip with no recorded performance evidence, so the database cannot confirm it for any specific use case. The verdict is straightforward: the RTX 5070 Mobile is the only part here with data showing it can handle demanding graphics workloads.
