Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two accelerators into sharply different roles. The Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has no benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690. That means the Intel part cannot claim a direct performance win in any recorded test, and the NVIDIA card wins the only available head-to-head comparison by default.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem targets a use case defined by its memory and compute resources rather than by observed benchmark results. Its 128 GB of HBM2e memory, 8192-bit bus, and 3.21 TB/s bandwidth indicate a design for large data residency, such as scientific computing or AI workloads that require massive working sets. Its 52.43 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1) throughput, paired with 128 ray tracing cores and 1024 texture mapping units, positions it as a compute-oriented part with no display outputs.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, delivers a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which places it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in that test are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664 (1% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 (1.1% faster), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 (1.1% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 (1.7% faster). These deltas are narrow, indicating the RTX 5070 SUPER sits in a tight cluster around this score level, neither dominant nor trailing far behind its immediate peers.

The Intel part's zero benchmarks and zero wins mean the database records no evidence of gaming or graphics workload performance. Its pixel rate is listed as 0 MPixel/s, which aligns with its lack of display outputs and suggests it is not designed for rasterization output. The NVIDIA card delivers a pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 502.4 GTexel/s, both of which indicate conventional graphics rendering capability.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different foundries and process nodes. Intel builds Ponte Vecchio on a 10 nm process at Intel, with 100,000 million transistors on a 1280 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 78.1 million per mm². NVIDIA builds GB205 on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a density of 118.3 million per mm². The Intel die is roughly 4.9 times larger by area and holds over three times as many transistors, but the NVIDIA chip packs transistors more densely.

Architecture generations differ completely. Intel uses Generation 12.5 (Ponte Vecchio), while NVIDIA uses Blackwell 2.0. The Intel part has 16384 shading units, 1024 TMUs, and 0 ROPs, whereas the NVIDIA part has 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The Intel GPU includes 128 ray tracing cores but no tensor cores listed; the NVIDIA GPU includes 50 ray tracing cores and 200 tensor cores. This indicates the Intel design emphasizes raw shader and texture throughput, while the NVIDIA design adds dedicated tensor hardware for AI acceleration.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. Intel uses 128 GB of HBM2e on a 8192-bit bus with 3.21 TB/s bandwidth. NVIDIA uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel memory subsystem offers nearly 4.8 times the bandwidth and over 7 times the capacity. Clock speeds also differ: Intel runs at a 900 MHz base and 1600 MHz boost, while NVIDIA runs at 2325 MHz base and 2512 MHz boost. The NVIDIA clocks are substantially higher, which helps compensate for its smaller memory bus in latency-sensitive workloads.

The Intel part draws a 2400 W TDP with a suggested power supply of 2800 W, while the NVIDIA card draws 275 W TDP with no suggested PSU listed. Both use a single 16-pin power connector and dual-slot cooling. The Intel card measures 267 mm in length (10.5 inches); the NVIDIA card measures 245 mm (9.6 inches) in length, 115 mm (4.5 inches) in height, and 40 mm (1.6 inches) in width. The NVIDIA card offers display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1b, 3x DisplayPort 2.1b), while the Intel card has none.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two products. The only recorded score belongs to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, which achieved 2690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has no benchmark scores at all, so the wins count stands at 0 for Intel and 1 for NVIDIA.

Looking at the NVIDIA card's nearest rivals provides context for its 2690 score. The NVIDIA Quadro K1100M scores 2664, which is 1% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 scores 2662, also 1% lower. The Intel Arc Pro B50 scores 2660, 1.1% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 scores 2645, 1.7% lower. These margins are small, meaning the RTX 5070 SUPER leads this cluster by a single-digit percentage at most.

The raw specification comparison shows where each part would theoretically win in compute-bound tests. Intel's FP32 throughput of 52.43 TFLOPS exceeds NVIDIA's 32.15 TFLOPS by roughly 63%. Intel's texture rate of 1,638.4 GTexel/s exceeds NVIDIA's 502.4 GTexel/s by over three times. Intel's memory bandwidth of 3.21 TB/s exceeds NVIDIA's 672.0 GB/s by nearly five times. These figures suggest the Intel part would dominate in memory-bandwidth-bound or texture-heavy workloads, but no benchmark data confirms this.

NVIDIA wins on pixel rate, with 201.0 GPixel/s versus Intel's 0 MPixel/s. NVIDIA also wins on clock speed, with a 2512 MHz boost versus Intel's 1600 MHz boost. The NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4, while Intel supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and has no Vulkan version listed. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and PCIe 5.0 x16.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one direct conclusion: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has a measurable benchmark score, and the Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem does not. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the NVIDIA card scores 2690, placing it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals all sit within 1.7% of that score, which suggests the RTX 5070 SUPER performs in line with a specific mid-range cluster rather than standing out.

For users seeking a graphics card with display outputs, conventional rendering pipelines, and a recorded gaming or DX12 workload result, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is the only option with data. It delivers 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, 502.4 GTexel/s texture rate, and 32.15 TFLOPS FP32, all within a 275 W TDP and a 245 mm length. Its 18 GB GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth support standard graphics workloads, and its DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 support indicate modern API readiness.

For users targeting massive memory capacity, extreme bandwidth, or high raw compute throughput, the Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem offers specification-based advantages: 128 GB HBM2e, 3.21 TB/s bandwidth, 52.43 TFLOPS FP32, and 1,638.4 GTexel/s texture rate. The 2400 W TDP and 2800 W suggested power supply indicate a data-center-class installation, and the absence of display outputs confirms a compute-only role. However, the database contains no benchmark evidence for this part, so its real-world performance relative to the NVIDIA card remains unmeasured.

The data implies different buyers. The NVIDIA card serves conventional graphics and rendering tasks with a verified score. The Intel part serves large-scale compute workloads where memory capacity and bandwidth outweigh the lack of recorded benchmarks. Neither part dominates the other across all metrics; each leads in the areas its architecture targets.
