NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile Comparison

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile decisively outperforms the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A in the only directly comparable benchmark, with the data showing a lead of 111.6% in Geekbench OpenCL. The RTX 5050 Mobile, built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, is a generational leap over the older Ampere-based MX570 A, targeting a completely different performance tier despite both being integrated-class parts for portable devices.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head comparison between the RTX 5050 Mobile and the MX570 A yields a single shared benchmark result: Geekbench OpenCL. In this test, the RTX 5050 Mobile scores 84,171 points, while the MX570 A manages 39,780 points. The delta is a massive 111.6% in favor of the RTX 5050 Mobile — meaning it more than doubles the MX570 A's score. This is not a marginal victory; it is a categorical stomping that places the two GPUs in entirely separate performance classes.

To contextualize the RTX 5050 Mobile's score, its average benchmark score across all tests is 43,268, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (average score 43,262) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (average score 43,223), with deltas of 0% and 0.1%, respectively. The RTX 5050 Mobile also edges out the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (average score 43,667) by a -0.9% delta, indicating that while the RTX 4090 Mobile is slightly ahead on average, the RTX 5050 Mobile is remarkably competitive in its own right.

The MX570 A, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 38,691, placing it in the 81st percentile. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (average score 38,706, delta 0%) and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 (average score 38,299, delta 1%). The MX570 A also closely tracks the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (average score 38,349, delta 0.9%), which is a surprising result given the massive architectural gap between those two parts.

The single head-to-head result is unambiguous: the RTX 5050 Mobile wins the only shared test, and wins it by more than double. No benchmark in the data shows the MX570 A ahead of the RTX 5050 Mobile, and the wins tally reflects this at 1 win for the RTX 5050 Mobile and 0 for the MX570 A. The Geekbench OpenCL result alone is sufficient to establish the performance hierarchy, though the difference in average scores (43,268 vs. 38,691) reinforces the trend.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 5050 Mobile and MX570 A are built on fundamentally different architectures, separated by two generations of NVIDIA design. The RTX 5050 Mobile uses Blackwell 2.0, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The MX570 A uses Ampere, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. This process node shrink is significant, as it directly contributes to the RTX 5050 Mobile's higher transistor density.

The RTX 5050 Mobile packs 16,900 million transistors on a 149 mm² die, yielding a density of 113.4M transistors per mm². The MX570 A, by contrast, has 8,700 million transistors on a larger 200 mm² die, resulting in a density of just 43.5M per mm². This means the RTX 5050 Mobile fits nearly 2x the transistors into a smaller physical area, a direct consequence of the more advanced 5 nm node.

Core configurations differ substantially. The RTX 5050 Mobile has 2,560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. It also includes 20 ray tracing cores and 80 tensor cores. The MX570 A has 2,048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units, with 16 ray tracing cores and 64 tensor cores. While both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, the RTX 5050 Mobile has a 25% advantage in shading units and a 25% advantage in both ray tracing and tensor core counts.

The memory subsystem is another major architectural divergence. The RTX 5050 Mobile uses GDDR7 memory with a 128-bit bus, while the MX570 A uses GDDR6 with a 64-bit bus. The RTX 5050 Mobile's memory operates at 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective speed, yielding a bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. The MX570 A's memory runs at 1500 MHz with 12 Gbps effective speed, yielding 96.00 GB/s — exactly one-quarter the bandwidth of the RTX 5050 Mobile.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every measurable specification. The RTX 5050 Mobile has 8 GB of memory, while the MX570 A has just 2 GB. Memory type also differs: GDDR7 versus GDDR6. The bus width is 128-bit versus 64-bit, directly causing the bandwidth gap (384.0 GB/s vs. 96.00 GB/s).

Clock speeds are lower on the MX570 A. The RTX 5050 Mobile has a base clock of 1020 MHz and a boost clock of 1500 MHz. The MX570 A has a base clock of 832 MHz and a boost clock of 1155 MHz. This clock advantage, combined with more cores, gives the RTX 5050 Mobile a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s versus 36.96 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s versus 73.92 GTexel/s.

Compute throughput is where the gap widens most. The RTX 5050 Mobile delivers 7.680 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio). The MX570 A delivers 4.731 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio). This is a 62% advantage for the RTX 5050 Mobile in raw compute.

Power consumption differs significantly, with the RTX 5050 Mobile rated at 50 W TDP and the MX570 A at 25 W TDP. Both are IGP form factors with no power connectors, and both have portable-device-dependent display outputs. The bus interface differs: PCIe 5.0 x16 for the RTX 5050 Mobile versus PCIe 4.0 x8 for the MX570 A.

Production status and release dates also differ. The RTX 5050 Mobile is Active and was released on 2025-06-23, while the MX570 A is End-of-life and was released on 2021-12-16. The RTX 5050 Mobile's predecessor is GeForce 40 Mobile, while the MX570 A has no listed predecessor.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear from the data: choose the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile over the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A for any application where raw performance matters. The RTX 5050 Mobile wins the only head-to-head benchmark by 111.6%, scores 141.7% higher on the Geekbench OpenCL test, and has a higher average benchmark score (43,268 vs. 38,691). It also has 4x the memory, 4x the memory bandwidth, and 62% higher compute throughput.

The MX570 A is not without merit. Its 25 W TDP is half that of the RTX 5050 Mobile, making it more power-efficient for ultra-portable devices. It also sits in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, which is respectable, and its average score is only slightly below the RTX 5050 Mobile's by a 11.8% margin — a much smaller gap than the head-to-head result suggests. However, the MX570 A is an end-of-life product from 2021, while the RTX 5050 Mobile is an active 2025 product.

For users prioritizing maximum performance in a mobile form factor, the RTX 5050 Mobile is the superior choice on every benchmark metric available. For users prioritizing lower power draw and minimal thermal footprint, the MX570 A offers a viable alternative, but at a substantial performance cost.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5050 Mobile wins in every performance category measured. It has the higher Geekbench OpenCL score (84,171 vs. 39,780), the higher average benchmark score (43,268 vs. 38,691), and the higher percentile ranking (83 vs. 81). It wins on compute (7.680 vs. 4.731 TFLOPS), memory (8 GB vs. 2 GB, 384.0 vs. 96.00 GB/s), and core count (2,560 vs. 2,048 shading units). It is the clear pick for demanding tasks like modern gaming, content creation, or any workload leveraging ray tracing or tensor cores.

The MX570 A wins in one specific area: power consumption. At 25 W TDP, it uses half the power of the RTX 5050 Mobile's 50 W TDP. This makes it a stronger candidate for fanless designs or devices with extremely tight thermal budgets. It also has a smaller die area relative to its transistor count, but that is not a performance advantage. The MX570 A's 81st percentile ranking shows it is not a weak GPU in absolute terms, and its average score is competitive with the AMD Radeon Pro 580X. However, in direct competition with the RTX 5050 Mobile, the MX570 A has no benchmark wins. The choice depends on whether power efficiency or raw performance is the priority; the data supports the RTX 5050 Mobile for all performance-oriented use cases.
