Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no shared benchmark results between the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of zero with no tests on file, while the NVIDIA card has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3075. This absence of overlapping measurements makes a direct performance comparison impossible from the database. The Intel accelerator has no wins recorded, and the NVIDIA card also has no wins recorded, as no head-to-head tests exist.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER, however, does have comparative data against other GPUs in the database. Its 3075 score places it 2.8% behind the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (which scores 3163) and 3.4% behind the Intel Arc Pro B60 (which scores 3182). Conversely, it sits 3.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce 820A (which scores 2983) and 3.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (which scores 2967). These deltas are narrow, indicating that the RTX 5080 SUPER lands in a tight cluster of similarly performing parts in this particular test, despite its massive architectural differences from those older or lower-tier products.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 carries a percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs in the database, but with no benchmark scores, this percentile reflects an absence of measured performance rather than a mid-pack standing. The NVIDIA card holds a 19th percentile rank, which appears low for a flagship-tier product, but this percentile is derived from the single Steel Nomad result and the sparse comparison set available. The data suggests the RTX 5080 SUPER's rank is heavily influenced by the specific benchmark chosen, not by its overall capability.

Architecture Differences

The two processors represent fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses the Ponte Vecchio chip built on Intel's Generation 12.5 architecture and a 10 nm process node from Intel's own foundry. It packs 100,000 million transistors onto a 1280 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 78.1 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER uses the GB203 chip on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Its die contains 45,600 million transistors across 378 mm², giving a density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA chip is roughly three times smaller in die area while achieving over 50% higher transistor density, reflecting the process node advantage.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The Intel card provides 48 GB of HBM2e on an 8192-bit bus, delivering 1.23 TB/s of bandwidth with memory clocked at 600 MHz (1200 Mbps effective). The NVIDIA card offers 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, reaching 1.02 TB/s of bandwidth with memory at 2000 MHz (32 Gbps effective). Intel's solution favors capacity and bus width, while NVIDIA's favors per-pin speed, though the total bandwidth figures are comparable, with Intel holding a 0.21 TB/s advantage.

Compute resources differ in structure. The Intel part has 7168 shading units, 448 texture mapping units, zero ROPs, 56 ray tracing cores, and no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA part has 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 84 RT cores, and 336 tensor cores. NVIDIA also delivers pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s versus Intel's 0 MPixel/s, and texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s versus Intel's 694.4 GTexel/s. Floating point throughput shows NVIDIA at 56.28 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio), while Intel reaches 22.22 TFLOPS for both, also at 1:1.

Clock behavior also separates the two. Intel's base clock is 1000 MHz with a boost of 1550 MHz, while NVIDIA's base is 2295 MHz with a boost of 2617 MHz. The NVIDIA card runs at more than double the base clock of the Intel part. Power draw differs, with Intel rated at 300 W TDP and NVIDIA at 415 W TDP. Both use dual-slot cooling and PCIe 5.0 x16 interfaces. Power connectors differ: Intel uses a single 12-pin, NVIDIA a single 16-pin. The Intel card has no display outputs, while NVIDIA provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. DirectX support shows Intel at 12 (12_1) and NVIDIA at 12 Ultimate (12_2), with NVIDIA also supporting Vulkan 1.4 while Intel lists no Vulkan version.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 wins on memory capacity and bus width. Its 48 GB of HBM2e doubles the NVIDIA card's 24 GB, and its 8192-bit bus is 32 times wider than NVIDIA's 256-bit bus. This configuration suits workloads that require massive datasets resident on the GPU, such as large-scale simulation or inference models that cannot fit in smaller memory pools. The Intel card's 1.23 TB/s bandwidth also edges out NVIDIA's 1.02 TB/s, providing a raw data movement advantage. Its 100,000 million transistors and 1280 mm² die indicate a design optimized for compute density over rendering throughput.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER wins on nearly every computational throughput metric in the database. Its FP32 and FP16 figures of 56.28 TFLOPS more than double Intel's 22.22 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s exceeds Intel's 694.4 GTexel/s by roughly 27%. The NVIDIA card's 293.1 GPixel/s pixel rate stands against Intel's 0 MPixel/s, confirming that the Intel part cannot perform rasterization output. NVIDIA's 10752 shading units, 336 tensor cores, and 112 ROPs provide a richer feature set for graphics and AI workloads. The RTX 5080 SUPER also operates at higher clocks, boosting to 2617 MHz versus Intel's 1550 MHz, and carries a more advanced DirectX 12 Ultimate feature level.

The 415 W TDP of the NVIDIA card versus 300 W for Intel indicates higher power consumption, but also greater performance headroom. The database shows no benchmark wins for either product, so the wins here are inferred from architectural specifications, not measured tests. For tasks that need rendering output, display connectivity, or ray tracing with 84 RT cores, the NVIDIA card is the only viable option between the two, as the Intel part has no display outputs and no pixel rate.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split in purpose. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is a compute-oriented accelerator with a focus on memory capacity. Its 48 GB HBM2e pool and 1.23 TB/s bandwidth make it suited for memory-bound workloads that require large working sets and high data throughput. Its lack of ROPs, pixel rate, and display outputs means it is not designed for graphics output. Its 22.22 TFLOPS FP32 performance is modest compared to the NVIDIA card, but the Intel part's 100,000 million transistors and 1280 mm² die suggest a complex compute architecture for data center tasks.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER is the more balanced and faster processor in raw throughput. Its 56.28 TFLOPS FP32, 879.3 GTexel/s texture rate, and 293.1 GPixel/s pixel rate position it as a high-performance graphics and compute solution. The 336 tensor cores and 84 RT cores enable AI acceleration and ray tracing. Its 24 GB GDDR7 memory is half the Intel card's capacity, but its 1.02 TB/s bandwidth is only 17% lower, meaning the bandwidth penalty is modest relative to the capacity difference. The NVIDIA card's 5 nm process and 120.6M transistors per mm² density demonstrate a more efficient design.

For users prioritizing memory capacity and bandwidth for large data sets, the Intel card holds the advantage. For users prioritizing compute throughput, rendering capability, and modern graphics features, the NVIDIA card wins decisively. The absence of shared benchmarks means no single score can settle the comparison, but the specification sheet favors NVIDIA in most performance metrics while favoring Intel in memory capacity. The launch MSRP of 999 USD for the RTX 5080 SUPER appears in the database; the Intel card has no listed launch MSRP. The choice hinges on workload type: memory-bound data center compute versus graphics and AI acceleration.
