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

Where Each One Wins

The data divides these two GPUs into completely separate performance classes. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor built for the Raptor Lake mobile platform, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a discrete, dual-slot add-in board from the GeForce 50-series. The recorded benchmark information shows zero shared head-to-head tests, but the available measurements for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER place it far ahead of the Intel part in raw compute throughput and memory bandwidth.

The Intel Iris Xe delivers 1.856 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, a figure appropriate for light productivity and casual gaming on a laptop. Its 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 render output units operate at a boost clock of 1450 MHz. The memory subsystem is entirely system-shared, meaning the GPU borrows capacity and bandwidth from the host system's RAM, with bandwidth described as "System Dependent." This part wins in power efficiency and integration, consuming only 15 W and requiring no dedicated power connectors or expansion slot. It is an IGP, so it occupies no motherboard space beyond the processor package itself.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every measurable performance category. It delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, roughly 23.7 times the Intel part's throughput. The NVIDIA GPU has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with a boost clock of 2452 MHz. Its memory configuration is entirely discrete: 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s. These figures position the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER as a high-end desktop GPU, whereas the Iris Xe is a low-power mobile iGPU. The use-case split is straightforward: the Intel part serves integrated laptops needing basic graphics, and the NVIDIA part serves desktop systems demanding high-resolution gaming, ray tracing, and compute workloads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no recorded head-to-head benchmark entries shared between these two GPUs in the database. However, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single benchmark entry: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, scoring 6269.5 points. Its average benchmark score is 6270. The Intel Iris Xe has no benchmark scores recorded, and its average benchmark score is 0. The percentile data confirms the disparity: the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile of all GPUs, while the NVIDIA part sits at the 36th percentile. This means the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER outperforms the majority of GPUs in the database, whereas the Iris Xe sits at the median of all recorded GPUs.

Comparing against its nearest rivals, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores within 0.2% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (which scores 6270, a delta of 0%). It is 0.8% ahead of the AMD FirePro W600 (6223) and 0.9% behind the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327). These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's benchmark score is tightly clustered with these specific cards. The Intel Iris Xe has no nearest rivals listed, so no comparative score analysis is possible for that part.

The FP32 compute comparison is the clearest head-to-head metric available. The NVIDIA GPU's 43.94 TFLOPS is 42.08 TFLOPS higher than the Intel part's 1.856 TFLOPS. In texture rate, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER achieves 686.6 GTexel/s versus 58.00 GTexel/s for the Iris Xe, a difference of 628.6 GTexel/s. The pixel rate difference is similarly large: 235.4 GPixel/s versus 29.00 GPixel/s. These numbers show that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is not merely faster; it operates in a different performance tier altogether.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The Intel Iris Xe has 640 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The Intel part operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1450 MHz, while the NVIDIA part runs at 2295 MHz base and 2452 MHz boost.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile is built on Generation 12.2 architecture, using the Raptor Lake chip. The process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. The generation is listed as HD Graphics-M (Raptor Lake). Its successor is Arc Graphics-M. The release date is January 3, 2023.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB203 chip. The process node is 5 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The transistor count is 45,600 million, the die size is 378 mm², and the transistor density is 120.6M per mm². It belongs to the GeForce 50-series and the GeForce 50 generation. Its release date is December 31, 2025. The launch MSRP is 749 USD. 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.

The architectural gap is fundamental. The Intel part is a low-power integrated GPU with no discrete memory, no RT cores, and no tensor cores. The NVIDIA part is a high-end discrete GPU with dedicated GDDR7 memory, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores, built on a more advanced 5 nm process with over 45 billion transistors. The transistor density of the NVIDIA chip is 120.6M per mm², a figure that reflects the density of the TSMC 5 nm process. The Intel part has no transistor count, die size, or density figures listed in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one practical conclusion: these GPUs serve entirely different markets, and the performance gulf is enormous. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile is an integrated part for mobile processors, consuming 15 W and using system-shared memory. Its 1.856 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 29.00 GPixel/s pixel rate are suitable for basic display output, light productivity, and modest gaming at low settings. It has no RT cores, no tensor cores, and no dedicated memory. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, is a desktop-class discrete GPU with 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 896.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. It requires 350 W and a 16-pin power connector, and it occupies a dual-slot footprint of 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm.

The benchmark data for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER shows a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5, with an average score of 6270. It sits at the 36th percentile of all GPUs, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of the database. Its nearest rivals are all within a 0.9% delta, including the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 at 6270 and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 at 6327. The Intel Iris Xe has no benchmark scores and no nearest rivals, sitting at the 50th percentile with a score of 0.

The specification differences make the choice clear for any system builder. A user requiring integrated graphics in a low-power mobile platform should select the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80EU Mobile, as it is the only one of the two that operates as an IGP with a 15 W TDP. A user requiring high-end desktop gaming, ray tracing, or compute workloads should select the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, as its FP32 throughput is over 23 times higher, its memory bandwidth is over 896 GB/s, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate with dedicated RT and tensor cores. The data does not support any scenario where the Intel part outperforms the NVIDIA part in a measurable performance metric; the only advantages the Intel part holds are power consumption, integration simplicity, and portability, none of which are performance features.
