Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a single benchmark result for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, while the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible, but the available score for the RTX 5070 SUPER can be positioned against its nearest rivals.

The RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690 points in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This places it 1% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, which averages 2664. Against the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 with an average score of 2662, the RTX 5070 SUPER leads by 1.1%. The Intel Arc Pro B50 sits at 2660, also 1.1% behind. The largest gap in this set is against the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440, which averages 2645, putting the RTX 5070 SUPER 1.7% ahead.

The RTX 5070 SUPER holds the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database. This is a low percentile ranking, indicating that most other recorded graphics cards score higher. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile, which is the median position. However, the Intel part has no benchmark scores recorded, so its percentile is not derived from any measured performance data.

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the Intel part lacks any scores, the data does not show which card wins in any specific test. The only conclusion available from the measurements is that the RTX 5070 SUPER has a recorded score, and that score is within a narrow 1.7% range of four older or lower-tier GPUs.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear selection for users who need a discrete graphics solution with proven performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has an actual benchmark score of 2690, which is measurable and verifiable. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile has no benchmark entries, so its performance cannot be quantified from the database.

For users running DirectX 12 workloads, the RTX 5070 SUPER uses the 12 Ultimate (12_2) API level, while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). The RTX 5070 SUPER also provides dedicated RT cores (50) and tensor cores (200), which the Intel IGP lacks entirely. The Intel Iris Xe is an integrated graphics processor with a 15 W TDP, while the RTX 5070 SUPER is a dual-slot discrete card at 275 W.

The RTX 5070 SUPER is the only option here with any recorded performance data. The Intel IGP is suitable for systems where power draw is minimal and no discrete GPU is required, but its performance class cannot be established from the database. The RTX 5070 SUPER clearly delivers a higher feature set and a confirmed benchmark result.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile is built on a 10 nm process by Intel, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses a 5 nm process from TSMC. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, with a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The Intel part has no transistor count or die size recorded.

Clock speeds are far apart. The Intel IGP runs at a 300 MHz base and 1450 MHz boost. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a 2325 MHz base and 2512 MHz boost. Memory clocks also differ: the Intel part uses system-shared memory with no dedicated clock, while the RTX 5070 SUPER runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

The RTX 5070 SUPER delivers 18 GB of GDDR7 memory, a 192-bit bus, and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel IGP shares system memory with no fixed bus width or bandwidth, described as system dependent.

Compute rates diverge sharply. The RTX 5070 SUPER reaches 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 and the same 32.15 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio. The Intel IGP manages 1.856 TFLOPS FP32 and 3.712 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio. Pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s for NVIDIA versus 29.00 GPixel/s for Intel. Texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s versus 58.00 GTexel/s.

The RTX 5070 SUPER includes 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores; the Intel IGP has neither. The NVIDIA card is dual-slot with a 275 W TDP and one 16-pin power connector. The Intel IGP is an integrated processor with a 15 W TDP and no slot requirement. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Intel part connects via Ring Bus.

Display outputs differ: the RTX 5070 SUPER has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, while the Intel IGP outputs are portable device dependent. Physical dimensions for the RTX 5070 SUPER are 245 mm by 115 mm by 40 mm. The Intel IGP has no dimensions listed.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile is based on Generation 12.2 architecture, built on the Raptor Lake chip. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB205 chip. The Intel part belongs to the HD Graphics-M generation, while the NVIDIA card is in the GeForce 50 generation.

The process node difference is significant: 10 nm for Intel versus 5 nm for TSMC. The Intel part is fabricated by Intel, the NVIDIA card by TSMC. This accounts for the large transistor count advantage on the NVIDIA side, 31,100 million versus no recorded count for Intel.

Shading units, TMUs, and ROPs are all far higher on the NVIDIA card. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The Intel IGP has 640 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. This is a 10x difference in shading units and a 5x difference in TMUs.

Ray tracing and tensor core support exists only on the NVIDIA card. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores. The Intel IGP has none. This means hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI workloads are absent on the Intel part.

API support is similar but not identical. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel IGP supports DirectX 12 (12_1). The higher API level on NVIDIA enables features like mesh shaders and DXR at a fuller implementation.

The RTX 5070 SUPER uses GDDR7 memory, which is a dedicated high-bandwidth solution. The Intel IGP relies on system-shared memory, making its bandwidth dependent on the host system's memory configuration. This is a fundamental architectural difference in how each card accesses data.

The NVIDIA card has a boost clock of 2512 MHz, which is 73% higher than the Intel IGP's 1450 MHz boost. The base clock difference is even larger, with NVIDIA at 2325 MHz versus Intel at 300 MHz. The Intel part is designed for low power consumption at 15 W, while the NVIDIA card draws 275 W.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins in every category where data exists. It has a confirmed benchmark score, while the Intel Iris Xe has none. The RTX 5070 SUPER delivers 32.15 TFLOPS FP32, which is over 17 times the Intel IGP's 1.856 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s is nearly 7 times the Intel part's 29.00 GPixel/s.

For memory bandwidth, the RTX 5070 SUPER's 672.0 GB/s is a fixed, dedicated figure. The Intel IGP's bandwidth is system dependent, meaning it can vary with the host platform. In any fixed comparison, the NVIDIA card wins outright.

The RTX 5070 SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, hardware ray tracing with 50 RT cores, and tensor cores for AI workloads. The Intel IGP has no such features. Users who need those capabilities have only one choice in this pair.

The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile wins in power efficiency. At 15 W TDP, it consumes far less power than the RTX 5070 SUPER's 275 W. It also requires no power connector and no expansion slot, making it suitable for thin and light portable devices. Its system-shared memory means no dedicated VRAM allocation is needed.

The Intel part also holds a higher percentile ranking at 50 versus the NVIDIA card's 18. However, this ranking is not based on any measured benchmark score for the Intel IGP, so its practical meaning is limited.

For discrete desktop builds, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the only viable option. For integrated, low-power mobile systems, the Intel IGP fits that niche. The data does not support any other use case for the Intel part, as its performance is unmeasured. The RTX 5070 SUPER is the only card in this comparison with proven, recorded performance.
