Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile holds a decisive advantage across every measurable benchmark, with no recorded wins for the Intel part in the database.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile posts a PassMark G3D score of 24,004, while the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores. The average benchmark score for the NVIDIA part is 35,435, placing it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs. The Intel part, by comparison, sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, indicating no performance data has been captured for it.

Compute workloads show a similar pattern. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile achieves a PassMark GPU Compute score of 10,101, while the Intel part has no corresponding entry. In synthetic OpenCL testing through Geekbench, the NVIDIA part scores 143,870, and in Vulkan it scores 139,213. These figures represent the only recorded compute results in the comparison.

DirectX legacy tests further illustrate the gap. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 259 in PassMark DirectX 9, 237 in DirectX 11, 151 in DirectX 10, and 102 in DirectX 12. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has no entries for any of these tests. The 2D graphics test shows the NVIDIA part at 981, again with no Intel counterpart.

The nearest rivals for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile provide context for its standing. The NVIDIA Quadro GV100 averages 35,520, which is 0.2 percent higher than the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo averages 35,860, 1.2 percent higher. The NVIDIA A2 averages 34,690, which is 2.1 percent lower. The NVIDIA T1000 averages 36,289, 2.4 percent higher. These deltas show the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits in a tight cluster near the top of its immediate competitive set, with all four rivals within roughly 2.5 percent of its average score.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins in every recorded category. Its compute capabilities are supported by 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units. The pixel rate is 115.8 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 266.2 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance reaches 17.04 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, with the FP16 figure delivered at a 1:1 ratio.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also includes dedicated ray tracing cores, with 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. These hardware features support its DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) API level, which is the highest DirectX tier recorded for either part. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile supports DirectX 12 (12_1), a lower feature level, and lacks dedicated ray tracing and tensor core counts in the database.

Memory bandwidth is another area of complete separation. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part uses system shared memory, with system dependent bandwidth and no dedicated VRAM. The memory clock for the NVIDIA part is 1750 MHz, listed as 28 Gbps effective, while the Intel part has no dedicated memory clock.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also holds advantages in interface and process technology. It uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part uses a Ring Bus. The NVIDIA chip is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, whereas the Intel Meteor Lake chip uses a 10 nm process at Intel foundries. The NVIDIA chip, designated GB205, contains 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, with a transistor density of 118.3 million per square millimeter. The Intel chip has no transistor or die size data recorded.

Power draw differs significantly. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a TDP of 60 W, while the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has a TDP of 28 W. Both are listed as IGP slot width and have portable device dependent display outputs. The NVIDIA part has no power connectors, consistent with its mobile IGP form factor.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear selection based on performance requirements. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the only part in this comparison with recorded benchmark results, and those results place it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 35,435 puts it within 2.4 percent of the NVIDIA T1000 and within 1.2 percent of the AMD Radeon Pro Duo, both of which score slightly higher. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro GV100, is essentially tied at 0.2 percent lower.

For workloads that require dedicated ray tracing, tensor core acceleration, high memory bandwidth, or DirectX 12 Ultimate support, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the only viable option based on the recorded specifications. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile offers no dedicated VRAM, no ray tracing cores, no tensor cores, and a lower DirectX feature level. Its system shared memory and system dependent bandwidth cannot match the 672.0 GB/s of the GDDR7 configuration.

The Intel part does have one advantage in the data: a lower TDP of 28 W versus 60 W. For systems where power consumption is the primary constraint, the Intel part may be appropriate. However, no benchmark scores exist for the Intel part, so its actual performance cannot be validated against the NVIDIA part. The database shows zero recorded wins for the Intel part in any head-to-head comparison.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also has a more recent release date, recorded as 2025-02-28, compared to the Intel part's 2023-12-13. The NVIDIA part lists its predecessor as GeForce 40 Mobile, while the Intel part lists HD Graphics-M as its predecessor. Both parts are marked as Active in production status.

The choice is straightforward from the data: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the higher-performing part across every recorded metric, with the only trade-off being higher power draw. The Intel part offers lower power consumption but no recorded performance data to justify selection on capability grounds.
