Intel Arc G3 Extreme vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains benchmark results for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile, while the Intel Arc G3 Extreme has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct score-to-score comparison impossible for most tests. The RTX 4070 Mobile shows an average benchmark score of 27435, placing it in the 73rd percentile against all GPUs. The Arc G3 Extreme sits at the 50th percentile, though this figure is based on an average score of zero in the database.

The RTX 4070 Mobile delivers a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 108367. These two results sit close together, indicating consistent compute performance across OpenCL and Vulkan APIs. The Arc G3 Extreme has no equivalent entries, so no direct comparison can be drawn from those workloads.

In Passmark tests, the RTX 4070 Mobile records a G3D score of 19587, a GPU compute score of 8399, a DirectX 9 score of 223, a DirectX 11 score of 179, a DirectX 10 score of 116, a DirectX 12 score of 85, and a G2D score of 763. The hierarchy among these Passmark results shows the strongest showing in DirectX 9 and the weakest in DirectX 12. The Arc G3 Extreme lacks any Passmark entries, leaving no rival values to compare.

The nearest rivals for the RTX 4070 Mobile include the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT with an average score of 27425 and a delta of 0 percent, indicating near-identical performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 posts 27565, which is 0.5 percent higher. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell scores 27135, sitting 1.1 percent lower. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 reaches 27839, which is 1.5 percent higher. These deltas show the RTX 4070 Mobile performing within a narrow band around its competitors. The RTX 3090 and Radeon Pro Vega 20 edge ahead slightly, while the RX 6700 XT matches it exactly and the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell trails by a small margin.

Without any recorded benchmarks for the Arc G3 Extreme, the head-to-head comparison relies on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance. The data indicates zero wins for each side in the head-to-head benchmark category.

Where Each One Wins

Based on measured results, the RTX 4070 Mobile wins in every benchmark category where data exists. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197 and Vulkan score of 108367 demonstrate strong general compute throughput. The Passmark G3D score of 19587 reflects solid 3D rendering performance, while the GPU compute score of 8399 covers additional compute workloads. The Arc G3 Extreme has no benchmark scores recorded, so the database offers no evidence of where it would secure a win.

For the RTX 4070 Mobile, the strongest relative performance appears in DirectX 9 workloads with a Passmark score of 223, followed by DirectX 11 at 179 and DirectX 10 at 116. DirectX 12 shows the lowest Passmark score at 85, which suggests the card delivers less relative advantage in that specific test despite supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate. The G2D score of 763 covers 2D graphics operations, a separate category from the 3D and compute tests.

The Arc G3 Extreme does not have any benchmark entries in the database, so its strengths cannot be quantified from recorded measurements. Its specification sheet indicates support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, matching the API support of the RTX 4070 Mobile. However, without scores, any statement about where the Arc G3 Extreme wins would lack data support.

The RTX 4070 Mobile also holds the advantage in percentile ranking. Its 73rd percentile against all GPUs places it well above the Arc G3 Extreme's 50th percentile. The average benchmark score of 27435 for the RTX 4070 Mobile further separates the two, as the Arc G3 Extreme records an average score of zero.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc G3 Extreme uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process at Intel. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile uses the AD106 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, and belongs to the GeForce 40 Mobile generation. The process node difference gives the Intel part a smaller manufacturing geometry, though the database does not list transistor counts for the Intel chip. The RTX 4070 Mobile contains 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die, with a transistor density of 121.8M per mm².

The RTX 4070 Mobile has 4608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, 48 raster output units, 36 ray tracing cores, and 144 tensor cores. The Arc G3 Extreme has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 24 raster output units, and 12 ray tracing cores, with no tensor core count listed. The NVIDIA part carries three times the shading units, three times the TMUs, double the ROPs, and three times the RT cores.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Arc G3 Extreme runs at a base of 300 MHz and boosts to 2500 MHz. The RTX 4070 Mobile has a base of 1395 MHz and boosts to 1695 MHz. Memory configurations also diverge. The Arc G3 Extreme uses system shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent. The RTX 4070 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth at an effective 16 Gbps.

Rates and throughput figures show the NVIDIA part ahead. The RTX 4070 Mobile achieves a pixel rate of 81.36 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 244.1 GTexel/s. The Arc G3 Extreme records 60.00 GPixel/s and 120.0 GTexel/s. FP32 performance for the RTX 4070 Mobile is 15.62 TFLOPS, while the Arc G3 Extreme delivers 7.680 TFLOPS. FP16 performance is 15.62 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio for the NVIDIA card, while the Intel part reaches 15.36 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

Power consumption also differs. The Arc G3 Extreme has a TDP of 80 W. The RTX 4070 Mobile has a TDP of 115 W. Both are integrated graphics packages with no power connectors and portable-device-dependent display outputs. The bus interface differs: the Arc G3 Extreme uses IGP, while the RTX 4070 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Release timing is also distinct. The RTX 4070 Mobile was released on 2023-01-02, while the Arc G3 Extreme carries a release date of 2026-05-31. The NVIDIA part has a predecessor in GeForce 30 Mobile and a successor in GeForce 50 Mobile. No predecessor or successor is listed for the Intel part.

The Verdict

The data shows the RTX 4070 Mobile as the only part with measured benchmark results. Its average benchmark score of 27435 and 73rd percentile ranking provide concrete reference points. The Arc G3 Extreme records no benchmarks and sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero.

For raw compute and graphics workloads, the RTX 4070 Mobile holds clear specification advantages. It has more shading units, more RT cores, dedicated tensor cores, and dedicated GDDR6 memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its FP32 throughput of 15.62 TFLOPS is more than double the Arc G3 Extreme's 7.680 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 244.1 GTexel/s is roughly double the Intel part's 120.0 GTexel/s.

The Arc G3 Extreme offers a lower TDP of 80 W versus 115 W, a smaller 3 nm process node, and a higher boost clock of 2500 MHz versus 1695 MHz. These factors point toward an efficiency-oriented design, but the database contains no measured performance to confirm how that efficiency translates into real workloads.

The RTX 4070 Mobile also aligns closely with its nearest rivals in the database. It matches the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT at a 0 percent delta, trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 by 0.5 percent, leads the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell by 1.1 percent, and trails the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 by 1.5 percent. This places it in a competitive performance tier.

The pick depends on whether measured performance or lower power is prioritized. The RTX 4070 Mobile delivers the only recorded scores and clearly leads in every quantified metric. The Arc G3 Extreme cannot claim a performance win from the data, though its lower power draw and newer process node may appeal in systems where those factors matter more.
