Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile occupy completely different performance tiers. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has an average benchmark score of 35,435, while the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its average at zero. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits at the 80th percentile among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms roughly four out of five GPUs in the database. The Intel part holds a 50th percentile placement, which reflects its position as an integrated graphics solution rather than a dedicated mobile GPU.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins every measurable category where data exists. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 143,870 points, and in Geekbench Vulkan it reaches 139,213 points. These are the only two benchmark entries for the NVIDIA part that represent modern, compute-heavy workloads. The PassMark suite shows a different pattern: the DirectX 9 score of 259, the DirectX 10 score of 151, the DirectX 11 score of 237, and the DirectX 12 score of 102. The PassMark G3D score of 24,004 and the GPU compute score of 10,101 round out the picture. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile has zero benchmark records, so the database cannot produce a comparative win for it in any test.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap is substantial. Intel uses the Xe-LPG architecture on a Meteor Lake chip, built on Intel's 10 nm process. NVIDIA uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a GB205 chip, manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The process node difference alone explains much of the efficiency and density gap between the two.

The NVIDIA chip carries 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 118.3 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel part has no transistor count, die size, or density figures recorded in the database. NVIDIA's memory subsystem uses 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part shares system memory, with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent." This means the NVIDIA part has dedicated, high-speed VRAM while the Intel part must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth.

Compute resources differ sharply. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. It also includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no dedicated ray tracing or tensor core counts listed. The NVIDIA part's FP32 throughput reaches 17.04 TFLOPS, while the Intel part manages 4.608 TFLOPS. FP16 performance tells a similar story: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers 17.04 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part reaches 9.216 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning it halves its throughput for true FP16 workloads.

Pixel and texture rates follow the same trend. The NVIDIA part outputs 115.8 GPixel/s and 266.2 GTexel/s. The Intel part outputs 72.00 GPixel/s and 144.0 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Power envelopes differ considerably. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile carries a 60 W TDP, while the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile carries a 28 W TDP. The NVIDIA part uses PCIe 5.0 x16 as its bus interface, while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus. The NVIDIA part has no power connectors listed, and both parts use "Portable Device Dependent" display outputs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile has no benchmark scores at all, so a direct comparison of individual test results is impossible. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, however, has a full suite of recorded scores that place it clearly above the Intel integrated solution.

Within the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's own benchmark data, the strongest results appear in Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan. The OpenCL score of 143,870 and the Vulkan score of 139,213 indicate strong general-purpose compute and graphics API performance. The PassMark G3D score of 24,004 places the GPU in a range that matches its 80th percentile ranking. The PassMark GPU compute score of 10,101 is notably lower than the Geekbench OpenCL result, which suggests the GPU's compute performance is workload-dependent.

The nearest rival data for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile shows how tightly grouped its performance class is. The NVIDIA Quadro GV100 averages 35,520 points, a 0.2% difference from the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's average of 35,435. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo averages 35,860 points, 1.2% higher. The NVIDIA A2 averages 34,690 points, 2.1% lower. The NVIDIA T1000 averages 36,289 points, 2.4% higher. These deltas indicate that the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits in a competitive cluster where small percentage differences separate adjacent GPUs.

The NVIDIA part succeeds the GeForce 40 Mobile line, and the Intel part succeeds HD Graphics-M.

The Verdict

The data supports only one conclusion for performance-sensitive workloads: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the faster GPU by a wide margin. Its 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 12 GB of GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 46 ray tracing cores place it in a completely different performance class from the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile. The 80th percentile ranking and average score of 35,435 confirm its position among higher-tier mobile GPUs.

The Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile serves a different role entirely. Its 28 W TDP and system shared memory mark it as an integrated solution for thin-and-light laptops where battery life and thermal constraints take priority over raw performance. Its 50th percentile placement among all GPUs, combined with zero recorded benchmark scores, suggests it handles everyday graphics tasks but does not compete in the same arena as a dedicated Blackwell GPU.

Users who need DirectX 12 Ultimate features, ray tracing acceleration, or high-bandwidth VRAM should select the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. Users who require an integrated GPU with modest power draw and no dedicated memory allocation should consider the Intel part. The benchmark database shows no scenario where the Intel Arc Graphics 128EU Mobile outperforms the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, nor does it offer any recorded scores to suggest parity. The choice comes down to performance class versus power efficiency, and the data makes that tradeoff explicit.
