Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER. The database shows zero wins for either part in shared test suites, and the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. This means no comparative frame-rate or compute-score measurements exist in the current dataset for these two products when run against each other on identical workloads.

What the database does provide is a single benchmark entry for the RTX 5070 SUPER. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2,690. That places the card at the 18th percentile across all GPUs in the database, meaning roughly 82 percent of recorded graphics processors score higher. The nearest rivals in the database are all substantially lower-scoring parts: the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2,664 (1 percent behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2,662 (1.1 percent behind), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2,660 (1.1 percent behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2,645 (1.7 percent behind). The RTX 5070 SUPER leads this nearest-rival cluster by a narrow margin, between 1 and 1.7 percent depending on the comparison.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its percentile versus all GPUs is listed as 50, but its average benchmark score is 0, and it has no nearest rivals. Consequently, the data cannot establish any quantitative performance relationship between the Intel part and the RTX 5070 SUPER. The GPU percentile of 50 for the Intel iGPU is not backed by a measured score, so it should be read as a placeholder rather than an empirical result.

Given the absence of comparative data, the only defensible numerical statement from the head-to-head section is that the RTX 5070 SUPER has a recorded Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690, and that score sits within 1.7 percent of four lower-tier database entries. No score exists for the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile, so no win margin can be calculated in either direction.

The Verdict

From the data alone, the choice between these two parts is not a matter of performance parity; it is a matter of product class and measured results. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER comes with a recorded benchmark score of 2,690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and a percentile of 18, indicating it ranks in the lower fifth of the database. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark score, no nearest rivals, and a percentile of 50 that is not supported by any measured average.

The RTX 5070 SUPER is the only one of the two with empirical benchmark evidence, so any user requiring a verified discrete graphics score would select it based on the data. The Intel part, by contrast, has zero recorded performance data in the database, so no verified claim can be made about its frame rates or compute throughput.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile is an integrated graphics processor with a 25 W TDP and an IGP slot width, while the RTX 5070 SUPER is a dual-slot discrete card with a 275 W TDP, a 16-pin power connector, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The data indicates the RTX 5070 SUPER is designed for full-size desktop installations with external power, whereas the Intel part is tied to portable devices and system-shared memory. A system builder with a desktop chassis and power delivery for a 275 W card would pick the RTX 5070 SUPER, while a portable device design requiring integrated graphics would use the Intel part. The database does not support any claim that the Intel iGPU outperforms the RTX 5070 SUPER, nor does it support the reverse, because no shared benchmark exists.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile uses the Xe3-LPG architecture on the Wildcat Lake chip, fabricated by Intel on a 3 nm process. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB205 chip, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature parity exists in the recorded specifications.

The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6,400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, 80 raster output pipelines, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and 2 ray tracing cores; it has no recorded tensor core count. The RTX 5070 SUPER therefore carries 25 times the shading units, 12.5 times the TMUs, 10 times the ROPs, and 25 times the ray tracing cores of the Intel part.

The RTX 5070 SUPER is built from 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, with a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The Intel part has unknown transistor count, die size, and density in the database. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel part uses system-shared memory with a system-dependent bandwidth figure.

The RTX 5070 SUPER's FP32 throughput is 32.15 TFLOPS, and its FP16 throughput is also 32.15 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part's FP32 throughput is 1,280.0 GFLOPS, and its FP16 throughput is 2.560 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. The RTX 5070 SUPER delivers roughly 25 times the FP32 compute of the Intel part, and its FP16 figure is about 12.6 times higher, though the Intel part's 2:1 ratio means its FP16 rate is double its FP32 rate, while the NVIDIA part runs FP16 at the same rate as FP32.

The RTX 5070 SUPER has 200 tensor cores, a feature class absent from the Intel part's listed specifications. This indicates the NVIDIA card includes dedicated hardware for tensor workloads, while the Intel iGPU does not have a recorded tensor core count. Both parts support the same DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan versions, so software-level feature compatibility is identical in the database.

The RTX 5070 SUPER's process node is 5 nm from TSMC, while the Intel part is 3 nm from Intel. The Intel node is smaller by process-name convention, but the database does not provide comparative density or power-efficiency measurements between the two foundries, so no performance-per-watt conclusion can be drawn from node size alone.

The RTX 5070 SUPER has a base clock of 2,325 MHz and a boost clock of 2,512 MHz, with memory clocked at 1,750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The Intel part has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2,500 MHz, with system-shared memory. The boost clocks are nearly identical, differing by 12 MHz, but the base clocks differ by 2,025 MHz in favor of the NVIDIA card. The Intel part's pixel rate is 20.00 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 40.00 GTexel/s, while the RTX 5070 SUPER's pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card delivers roughly 10 times the pixel throughput and about 12.6 times the texture throughput of the Intel part.
