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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows an extreme performance disparity between these two mobile graphics solutions. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile holds a decisive advantage across every measurable benchmark category, with no recorded wins for the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile in any test.

In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143870, while the Iris Xe has no recorded score in the database. The Geekbench Vulkan result similarly shows the NVIDIA part at 139213. These figures place the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile in the 80th percentile of all GPUs tracked, while the Iris Xe sits at the 50th percentile.

The PassMark suite reinforces this pattern. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile posts a PassMark G3D score of 24004, a PassMark GPU Compute score of 10101, and a PassMark G2D score of 981. For the older DirectX API tests, the NVIDIA part records 259 in PassMark DirectX 9, 237 in DirectX 11, 151 in DirectX 10, and 102 in DirectX 12. The Intel integrated solution has no corresponding entries in any of these tests.

The average benchmark score for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is 35435, derived from its recorded benchmark results. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 with an average score of 35520 (a delta of -0.2%), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo at 35860 (delta -1.2%), the NVIDIA A2 at 34690 (delta 2.1%), and the NVIDIA T1000 at 36289 (delta -2.4%). These deltas indicate that the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile performs within roughly 2.4% of these established workstation and professional graphics cards, placing it in a competitive tier despite its mobile form factor.

The Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile, by contrast, has no benchmark scores recorded in the database and no nearest rivals listed. Its percentile ranking of 50 against all GPUs suggests it sits at the median of the distribution, but the absence of direct measurement data makes quantitative comparison impossible. What the data does show is that the two products occupy entirely different performance strata.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two processors is fundamental. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile is built on Raptor Lake silicon using Intel's Generation 12.2 architecture, produced on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. It belongs to the HD Graphics-M (Raptor Lake) generation and was released on 2023-01-03. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, and belongs to the GeForce 50 Mobile generation with a release date of 2025-02-28.

The transistor counts differ enormously. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile contains 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The Iris Xe has no recorded transistor count or die size in the database. The NVIDIA part uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part connects via Ring Bus.

Memory architecture is equally divergent. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, with 1750 MHz memory clock and 28 Gbps effective speed, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Iris Xe uses system shared memory throughout, with its bandwidth listed as system dependent. The NVIDIA part has dedicated memory resources; the Intel part relies entirely on the host system's memory subsystem.

Compute resources show a similar scale of difference. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. It also includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores. The Iris Xe has 640 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores or tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Clock speeds tell a nuanced story. The Iris Xe has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1450 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a lower base clock at 847 MHz but a similar boost clock at 1447 MHz. Despite similar boost frequencies, the NVIDIA part's massive parallel resource advantage produces far higher throughput. The Iris Xe delivers 1.856 TFLOPS FP32 and 3.712 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio), while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 and 17.04 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). The pixel rate is 29.00 GPixel/s for Intel versus 115.8 GPixel/s for NVIDIA, and texture rates are 58.00 GTexel/s versus 266.2 GTexel/s respectively.

Power characteristics also differ: the Iris Xe carries a 15 W TDP, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile carries a 60 W TDP. Both are listed as IGP slot width with portable device dependent display outputs. The NVIDIA part has no power connectors listed, and the Intel part has none either.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear picture. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is a discrete-class mobile GPU with dedicated GDDR7 memory, ray tracing hardware, tensor cores, and roughly nine times the FP32 throughput of the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile (17.04 TFLOPS versus 1.856 TFLOPS). Its 80th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its proximity to workstation cards like the Quadro GV100 (within 0.2%) and T1000 (within 2.4%) confirm it belongs to a performance tier that the Intel integrated part cannot approach.

The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile, with its 50th percentile ranking and absence of recorded benchmark scores, serves a fundamentally different role. It is an integrated solution with system shared memory, a 15 W TDP, and a 2023 release date. Its successor is listed as Arc Graphics-M, indicating Intel's own roadmap has moved past this design.

For workloads requiring sustained 3D rendering, GPU compute, or ray-traced content, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the only viable option between these two. Its 12 GB GDDR7 frame buffer and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth provide the memory capacity and speed needed for modern graphics workloads. The Iris Xe's system dependent bandwidth means its performance scales with the host system's memory, which is inherently less predictable.

For basic display output, video playback, and light 2D workloads, the Iris Xe's 640 shading units and 20 ROPs are sufficient, and its 15 W TDP makes it appropriate for power-constrained designs. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, at 60 W, demands four times the power budget.

The production status for both is listed as Active. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's predecessor is the GeForce 40 Mobile series, while the Iris Xe's successor is Arc Graphics-M. Neither product has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.
