Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different architectural generations and design goals. The Intel Arc A380M uses the DG2-128 chip built on TSMC's 6 nm process, implementing the Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist generation (Arc 3 Mobile). It packs 7,200 million transistors into a 157 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 45.9 million per square millimeter.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip built on TSMC's 5 nm process, implementing the Blackwell 2.0 architecture from the GeForce 50 Mobile generation. This chip contains 31,100 million transistors across a 263 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 118.3 million per square millimeter. The density advantage of the NVIDIA chip is substantial, indicating a much tighter packing of logic and memory circuitry.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile includes dedicated tensor cores (184 of them), which the Arc A380M lacks entirely. Tensor cores are specialized hardware for AI workloads. The NVIDIA part also has significantly more RT cores (46 versus 8), pointing to a much larger ray tracing throughput capability. The shading unit count differs by a factor of roughly 5.75, with the NVIDIA part carrying 5,888 units versus 1,024 on the Intel part.

The memory subsystems are entirely different generations. The NVIDIA GPU uses GDDR7 running at 28 Gbps effective, while the Intel GPU uses GDDR6 running at 15.5 Gbps effective. The bus widths also differ, 192-bit versus 96-bit, which combined with the faster memory clock gives the NVIDIA part a 3.6-fold bandwidth advantage.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature support is identical. The NVIDIA part uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part uses MXM-A (3.1). The NVIDIA part is classified as an integrated GPU package (IGP) with no power connectors, whereas the Intel part is an MXM module.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins in every measurable category in the database. Its average benchmark score of 35,435 places it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs, while the Arc A380M sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark data. The NVIDIA part has a clear lead in FP32 compute, delivering 17.04 TFLOPS versus 4.096 TFLOPS on the Intel part, a factor of 4.16. This translates directly to faster general-purpose shader work in games and compute applications.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also dominates in memory-intensive scenarios. Its 672.0 GB/s bandwidth is 3.6 times the 186.0 GB/s of the Arc A380M, which matters for high-resolution textures, large scene loads, and data-heavy workloads. The 12 GB frame buffer versus 6 GB also allows the NVIDIA part to handle larger datasets and higher-resolution assets without spilling to slower system memory.

The NVIDIA part wins on ray tracing hardware with 46 RT cores versus 8, and it alone has tensor cores (184) for AI acceleration. The Arc A380M has no tensor core equivalent, so any machine learning or DLSS-style workload falls entirely to the NVIDIA GPU. The pixel rate of the NVIDIA part is 115.8 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s on the Intel part, and its texture rate is 266.2 GTexel/s versus 128.0 GTexel/s.

The Intel Arc A380M wins only in power efficiency on a per-watt basis. At 35 W TDP, it delivers 4.096 TFLOPS, which is roughly 0.117 TFLOPS per watt. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile at 60 W delivers 17.04 TFLOPS, roughly 0.284 TFLOPS per watt, so the NVIDIA part is actually more efficient per watt. The Intel part's advantage is purely in absolute power draw, making it suitable for more power-constrained portable designs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Arc A380M and the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. The Intel part has zero benchmark entries, while the NVIDIA part has nine recorded benchmark scores across multiple test suites.

For the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, the recorded scores show consistent performance across different APIs. In Geekbench, it scores 143,870 in OpenCL and 139,213 in Vulkan. In Passmark, the DirectX 11 score is 237, DirectX 10 is 151, DirectX 12 is 102, and DirectX 9 is 259. The Passmark G2D score is 981, the G3D score is 24,004, and the GPU compute score is 10,101.

The average benchmark score of 35,435 places the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile just below the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (35,520, 0.2% lower) and the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35,860, 1.2% lower), while staying above the NVIDIA A2 (34,690, 2.1% higher) and below the NVIDIA T1000 (36,289, 2.4% lower). This clustering indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile performs in the same class as older high-end workstation cards, despite being a mobile-focused part.

Since the Arc A380M has no benchmark scores in the database, there is no quantitative comparison available for its absolute performance. The only measurable differences come from the specification sheet, which shows the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile ahead in every compute and memory metric. The Intel part's lower base clock (1550 MHz versus 847 MHz) and boost clock (2000 MHz versus 1447 MHz) do not compensate for the massive core count difference, as the NVIDIA part still achieves higher pixel and texture rates despite lower clock speeds.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the far more capable GPU. Its average benchmark score of 35,435 versus no recorded scores for the Arc A380M, combined with its 80th percentile ranking versus the 50th percentile of the Intel part, leaves no ambiguity. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers 17.04 TFLOPS FP32, 12 GB of GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, and includes 184 tensor cores and 46 RT cores, none of which the Arc A380M can match.

The Intel Arc A380M is the choice only for systems where the 35 W TDP is a hard constraint and the 60 W TDP of the NVIDIA part is unacceptable. The MXM module form factor of the Intel part may also suit specific upgrade paths in portable devices that accept MXM modules. However, the Arc A380M offers no tensor cores, fewer RT cores, less than a quarter of the FP32 throughput, and one-third of the memory bandwidth.

For any workload involving modern gaming, ray tracing, AI inference, or large data sets, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the only viable option from these two. The NVIDIA part also shows competitive standing against established workstation GPUs, sitting within 2.4% of the NVIDIA T1000 and 1.2% of the AMD Radeon Pro Duo. The Intel part has no comparable benchmark presence, so its real-world performance remains unquantified in the database. Buyers building or configuring a portable system should select the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile unless the power budget absolutely cannot exceed 35 W.
