Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER occupy opposite ends of the graphics spectrum. The data in the database shows two products with fundamentally different purposes, architectures, and performance envelopes. The Intel part is an integrated solution for portable devices, while the NVIDIA part is a discrete, dual-slot expansion card. The recorded benchmark data, the specification sheets, and the architectural details provide a clear picture of how these two compare.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The Intel product has no recorded benchmark scores, with an average benchmark score of zero, while the NVIDIA product has a single recorded result. This absence of overlapping test data means any comparison relies on the specification disparities and the NVIDIA card's position relative to its nearest rivals.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER was tested using the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark, scoring 6269.5. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 6270. This places it in the 36th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile sits at the 50th percentile, but that percentile is based on no actual benchmark results, so it reflects its categorization as an integrated graphics processor rather than any measured performance.

The nearest rivals to the NVIDIA card in the database provide context for its score. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 has an average score of 6270, a delta of 0 percent, meaning the two are effectively tied in the recorded data. The AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223, which is a delta of 0.8 percent, indicating the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER holds a slight lead over it. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6282, a delta of -0.2 percent, meaning the K620 edges out the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER by a narrow margin. The AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327, a delta of -0.9 percent, showing that the R7 M350 outperforms the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER by nearly a full percentage point in this dataset. These deltas are small, so the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits in a cluster of GPUs with similar benchmark outcomes, none of which are the Intel integrated part.

The absence of a benchmark score for the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile means the database records zero wins for it and zero wins for the NVIDIA card in direct comparisons. The implication is clear: the Intel part was not subjected to the same 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 testing, likely due to its integrated nature and target market.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile wins in the domain of power consumption and physical integration. Its thermal design power is 28 watts, a figure that allows it to operate within the thermal envelope of a portable device without dedicated cooling. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has a thermal design power of 350 watts. This 322-watt difference is the single largest gap between the two. The Intel part also requires no power connectors, as it draws from the system's shared resources, while the NVIDIA card requires a single 16-pin connector.

The Intel product is an integrated graphics processor, or IGP, meaning it slots into the motherboard or system-on-chip design of a laptop or portable device. Its bus interface is a Ring Bus, and its display outputs are dependent on the portable device. This makes it suitable for systems where space and power are constrained. The NVIDIA card is a dual-slot, 304 mm long, 137 mm high, and 48 mm wide expansion card that requires a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. It is designed for desktop systems with room for large cooling solutions and a robust power supply.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins decisively in raw compute and memory performance. It delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Intel part delivers 1,382.4 GFLOPS, which equals approximately 1.38 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card is roughly 31.8 times faster in this metric. In FP16, the NVIDIA card achieves 43.94 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part reaches 2.765 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The NVIDIA card also has dedicated ray tracing cores, 70 of them, and 280 tensor cores, while the Intel part has none of either.

Memory is another decisive area. The NVIDIA card has 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part uses system shared memory, with its bandwidth described as system dependent. The NVIDIA card's memory operates at 1750 MHz, which is 28 Gbps effective, while the Intel part relies on whatever system memory is available.

The Verdict

The data indicates two products with no meaningful overlap in use cases. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is an integrated solution with 28 watts of power draw, system shared memory, and no dedicated VRAM. Its compute capabilities are limited to 1,382.4 GFLOPS of FP32 and 2.765 TFLOPS of FP16, which suits basic display output and light workloads in portable devices. The database records no benchmark scores for it, so its performance relative to other GPUs cannot be quantified.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a discrete, high-power graphics card with 350 watts of power draw, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, and 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. It delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 performance, has 70 ray tracing cores, and 280 tensor cores. Its single benchmark score of 6269.5 places it at the 36th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rivals clustered within a 1 percent delta. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 matches its score exactly, while the AMD Radeon R7 M350 leads it by 0.9 percent.

For systems requiring integrated graphics with minimal power consumption and no expansion slot, the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is the only option of the two. For systems requiring high-end discrete performance, ray tracing, tensor cores, and substantial memory bandwidth, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice. The specification sheet shows a 31.8 times gap in FP32 throughput, a 16 GB vs. system shared memory gap, and a 322 watt power draw gap. The benchmark data, where it exists, confirms the NVIDIA card performs in the mid-range cluster of the database, while the Intel part has no measured performance to compare. The choice between them is not a matter of preference but of platform and workload.
