Intel UHD Graphics P750 vs NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010 Comparison

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010 and Intel UHD Graphics P750 are closely matched legacy graphics solutions, with the GT 1010 holding a slim but decisive lead. In the sole benchmark comparison available, the GeForce GT 1010 scores 6,698 points on Geekbench OpenCL, while the Intel UHD Graphics P750 scores 6,554 points. This yields a 2.2% advantage for the NVIDIA part, a margin that is measurable but not transformative. Both cards sit at the 38th percentile of all GPUs, meaning they occupy the same performance tier, yet the data consistently points to the GT 1010 as the faster option. For users navigating end-of-life hardware, the choice hinges on this small performance edge versus the integrated nature of the Intel solution.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark result between these two parts is the Geekbench OpenCL test, and it shows a narrow victory for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010. The GT 1010 produces a score of 6,698, outperforming the Intel UHD Graphics P750's 6,554 by 2.2%. While this lead is modest, it is consistent with the surrounding competitive landscape. The GT 1010's closest rival, the AMD Radeon R7 M370, scores 6,764, which is just 1% higher than the GT 1010, indicating the NVIDIA part is effectively on par with that discrete mobile GPU. Conversely, the GT 1010 beats the AMD Radeon R7 M460 (6,612) by 1.3% and the AMD Radeon HD 7730M (6,581) by 1.8%, showing it sits comfortably ahead of those entries.

For the Intel UHD Graphics P750, its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon HD 7730M, which scores 6,581, placing the Intel part 0.4% behind. The P750 also trails the AMD Radeon R7 M460 (6,612) by 0.9%. However, it does manage to edge out the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M (6,513) by 0.6% and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M (6,493) by 0.9%. This positions the P750 in a similar performance band to the GT 1010, but the head-to-head delta of 2.2% in favor of NVIDIA is the definitive differentiator. The GT 1010 wins the only head-to-head benchmark, and there are no tests where the Intel part claims victory.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010 is the outright winner in raw compute performance, taking the single benchmark comparison. Its 2.2% lead in Geekbench OpenCL translates to a clear, if slight, advantage in general-purpose compute workloads. The GT 1010 also benefits from having a dedicated 2 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus, delivering 48.06 GB/s of bandwidth. This dedicated memory allocation ensures that the GPU does not compete with the CPU for system resources, which is a structural advantage over the Intel solution.

The Intel UHD Graphics P750, while losing the compute benchmark, wins in terms of efficiency and integration. Its TDP is 15 W, exactly half of the GT 1010's 30 W, making it a far more power-frugal option. Since it is an IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) using the "Ring Bus" interface, it requires no separate power connectors, no slot width, and no suggested PSU rating. The P750 also has a significantly higher pixel rate (41.60 GPixel/s) and texture rate (83.20 GTexel/s) compared to the GT 1010's 11.74 GPixel/s and 23.49 GTexel/s. This suggests the Intel part has superior fill-rate capabilities, which could benefit certain 2D or texture-bound tasks, even if its overall compute score is lower. The P750 also supports FP16 at 1,331.2 GFLOPS (2:1), a feature the GT 1010 lacks entirely.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010 uses the GP108 chip based on the Pascal architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process at Samsung. It contains 1,800 million transistors on a 74 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 24.3M per mm². The Intel UHD Graphics P750, in contrast, uses the Rocket Lake chip based on Generation 12.1 architecture, built on Intel's 14 nm+++ process. Intel's process is a further refinement of the 14 nm node, but the database does not list transistor count or die size for this part.

In terms of core configuration, both GPUs have 256 shading units, but the similarities end there. The Intel P750 has 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) and 32 raster output units (ROPs), while the GT 1010 has only 16 TMUs and 8 ROPs. This quadruple difference in TMUs and ROPs explains the P750's higher pixel and texture rates. However, the GT 1010 has a higher raw FP32 throughput at 751.6 GFLOPS compared to the P750's 665.6 GFLOPS. The GT 1010 also has a higher base clock of 1228 MHz and a boost clock of 1468 MHz, versus the P750's 350 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost clocks. Memory configuration is another key split: the GT 1010 uses dedicated 2 GB GDDR5, while the P750 relies on System Shared memory, making its bandwidth "System Dependent." Both GPUs support DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The data is clear: the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010 is the superior performer in compute workloads. Its 2.2% lead in Geekbench OpenCL over the Intel UHD Graphics P750, combined with its dedicated 2 GB GDDR5 memory and higher FP32 throughput (751.6 GFLOPS vs 665.6 GFLOPS), makes it the better choice for users who need consistent graphics processing power. The GT 1010 also has a higher average benchmark score (6,698) and wins the only head-to-head test. For anyone building a low-power discrete GPU system, the GT 1010's 30 W TDP is still modest, and its single-slot design with no power connectors is easy to install.

The Intel UHD Graphics P750 is the right choice only if power efficiency and integration are paramount. Its 15 W TDP is half that of the GT 1010, and as an IGP, it requires no additional hardware. However, its lower compute score (6,554) and reliance on System Shared memory mean it will trail the GT 1010 in most GPU-intensive tasks. The P750 does boast higher pixel and texture rates, which could be beneficial in specific 2D or fill-rate-limited scenarios, but this does not offset its compute deficit. Given that both parts are end-of-life, the GT 1010 offers the better performance legacy, while the P750 is the better fit for ultra-low-power integrated systems.
