Intel Arc Pro A30M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data includes a single common benchmark between these two mobile graphics parts: Geekbench OpenCL. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143870, while the Intel Arc Pro A30M scores 31894. That is a delta of 351.1% in favor of the NVIDIA part, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers roughly four and a half times the raw OpenCL compute performance of the Arc Pro A30M. This is the only head-to-head test where both GPUs have recorded scores, and it represents a decisive, one-sided outcome.

Looking at the broader benchmark database, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile holds an average benchmark score of 35435 across nine tests. Its best results come in PassMark G3D with 24004 and Geekbench Vulkan with 139213, while its weakest is PassMark DirectX 12 at 102. The Arc Pro A30M, by contrast, has only one recorded benchmark score (Geekbench OpenCL at 31894), which also serves as its average score. This sparse data means the OpenCL result is the only direct apples-to-apples comparison available.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits at the 80th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Arc Pro A30M sits at the 76th percentile. Although the percentile gap appears modest, the actual score difference is enormous. The NVIDIA part's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (average score 35520, delta -0.2%), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35860, delta -1.2%), the NVIDIA A2 (34690, delta +2.1%), and the NVIDIA T1000 (36289, delta -2.4%). These deltas are all within a few percentage points, indicating the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile competes at the level of high-end workstation and datacenter cards from previous generations.

The Arc Pro A30M's nearest rivals tell a different story. Its closest match is the NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31676, delta +0.7%), followed by the AMD Radeon Pro 570X (32176, delta -0.9%), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31532, delta +1.1%), and the AMD FirePro S10000 (32388, delta -1.5%). These are all older or lower-tier professional GPUs, and the deltas are similarly tight, but the absolute scores are far below what the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile achieves. In practical terms, the Intel part lands in the same performance class as a previous-generation flagship gaming card (TITAN RTX) or midrange workstation accelerators, while the NVIDIA part lands among top-tier compute accelerators.

The PassMark suite adds useful context even though it has no Intel counterpart. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 24004 in PassMark G3D, 10101 in GPU compute, 981 in G2D, and lower scores in legacy DirectX tests: 259 in DirectX 9, 237 in DirectX 11, 151 in DirectX 10, and 102 in DirectX 12. These numbers suggest the NVIDIA card excels at modern compute workloads but shows weaker relative performance in older API rasterization tests, which is typical for newer architectures optimized for current APIs.

For the Arc Pro A30M, the absence of any Vulkan, PassMark, or DirectX scores means no reliable comparison can be made outside OpenCL. The single data point, however, is enough to establish the overall hierarchy: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is in a completely different performance tier. The 351.1% delta is not a marginal difference; it is a generational and class-level separation.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the choice is straightforward for raw compute performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins the only head-to-head benchmark by 351.1%, and its average score of 35435 is more than 10% higher than the Arc Pro A30M's 31894. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also reaches the 80th percentile among all GPUs, versus the 76th percentile for the Intel part.

Users who prioritize OpenCL compute or Vulkan performance (the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 139213 in Geekbench Vulkan) should select the NVIDIA card without hesitation. It also provides far more memory bandwidth (672.0 GB/s vs 128.0 GB/s) and triple the VRAM capacity (12 GB vs 4 GB), which directly impacts larger workloads and higher resolutions.

The Arc Pro A30M has one advantage: power draw. Its TDP is 50 W, compared to 60 W for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. In a thermally constrained laptop chassis, that 10 W difference could matter for sustained loads, but the performance penalty is enormous. The Intel part is also end-of-life, while the NVIDIA part is active production.

For anyone building a portable workstation or a gaming laptop, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the clear pick. The Arc Pro A30M would only make sense if power consumption is the absolute limiting factor and the workload is light enough that the 4 GB VRAM and 128.0 GB/s bandwidth suffice. Otherwise, the data does not support choosing the Intel GPU.

Power and process also differ: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a TDP of 60 W, the Arc Pro A30M has 50 W. The NVIDIA chip is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, while Intel uses 6 nm at TSMC. Transistor counts are 31,100 million for NVIDIA (die size 263 mm²) versus 7,200 million for Intel (die size 157 mm²). Transistor density is 118.3M/mm² versus 45.9M/mm².

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50-series. The Intel Arc Pro A30M uses the DG2-128 chip with Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist generation for professional mobile. The NVIDIA part is built on a 5 nm TSMC process, while Intel uses a 6 nm TSMC process.

The NVIDIA chip has 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, giving a density of 118.3M transistors per square millimeter. Intel's chip has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9M/mm². This reflects the newer, more advanced manufacturing node and larger design investment in the Blackwell architecture.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses GDDR7 with a 192-bit bus and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc Pro A30M uses GDDR6 with a 64-bit bus and 128.0 GB/s bandwidth. Memory clock is 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA versus 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) for Intel. The NVIDIA part also runs at a lower boost clock (1447 MHz) compared to Intel (2000 MHz), but the massive core count and memory subsystem more than compensate.

The NVIDIA GPU supports 184 tensor cores, which are absent from the Intel specification. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is marked as active production with a release date in 2025, while the Arc Pro A30M is end-of-life with a release date in 2022. The NVIDIA part's predecessor is listed as GeForce 40 Mobile, while Intel has no predecessor listed.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins in every measurable performance category. It dominates OpenCL compute with a 351.1% lead, offers 5.25x more memory bandwidth, 4.16x more FP32 throughput, and 4.25x more VRAM. It also supports tensor cores, which the Intel part lacks entirely, making it suitable for AI and machine learning workloads. The Vulkan score of 139213 further indicates strong modern API performance.

The Arc Pro A30M wins only in power efficiency. Its 50 W TDP is 10 W lower than the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 60 W. In a thin-and-light laptop with limited cooling, that could translate to quieter operation or longer battery life under sustained load. However, the performance gap is so large that the power advantage is unlikely to matter except in the most constrained chassis.

For gaming, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's higher G3D score (24004) and superior memory subsystem make it the obvious choice. For professional compute workloads like rendering, simulation, or data processing, the NVIDIA part's 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 and 184 tensor cores provide a massive edge. The Arc Pro A30M, with 4.096 TFLOPS and no tensor cores, would struggle with any modern compute-heavy task.

For legacy DirectX workloads, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's PassMark scores (259 in DirectX 9, 237 in DirectX 11, 151 in DirectX 10, 102 in DirectX 12) show it is not optimized for older APIs, but no comparable data exists for the Intel part. Users running very old games or applications might see underwhelming performance on the NVIDIA card, but the Arc Pro A30M's lack of data makes any claim speculative.

In summary, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the superior choice for virtually every workload recorded in the database. The Arc Pro A30M's only advantage is its lower power draw, which may appeal to ultra-portable laptop designs where thermal headroom is minimal. For anyone else, the NVIDIA card is the definitive pick.
