Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA GeForce MX570 is built on the Ampere architecture using the GA107S chip, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000 uses the Maxwell 2.0 architecture with the GM204 chip, fabricated on a 28 nm process at TSMC. This process node difference is significant: the MX570 packs 8,700 million transistors into a 200 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 43.5M per mm². The Quadro M5000 contains 5,200 million transistors on a much larger 398 mm² die, giving it a density of only 13.1M per mm².

The MX570 features 16 ray tracing cores and 64 tensor cores, reflecting its modern Ampere design. The Quadro M5000 has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, as Maxwell 2.0 predates those hardware capabilities. Both GPUs have 2048 shading units, but the MX570 has 64 TMUs and 32 ROPs, while the Quadro M5000 has 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. This means the Quadro M5000 has twice the texture and pixel processing resources.

The memory architecture differs completely. The MX570 uses 2 GB of GDDR6 with a 64-bit bus and 96.00 GB/s bandwidth. The Quadro M5000 uses 8 GB of GDDR5 with a 256-bit bus and 211.6 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock rates also differ: the MX570 runs at 1500 MHz with 12 Gbps effective, while the Quadro M5000 runs at 1653 MHz with 6.6 Gbps effective.

The MX570 is a mobile-oriented IGP part with PCIe 4.0 x8 interface and display outputs described as portable device dependent. The Quadro M5000 is a desktop workstation card with PCIe 3.0 x16, measuring 267 mm in length and 111 mm in height, with 1x DVI and 4x DisplayPort 1.2 outputs.

The FP32 compute figures are close: the MX570 delivers 4.731 TFLOPS, while the Quadro M5000 delivers 4.252 TFLOPS. The MX570 also lists FP16 performance at 4.731 TFLOPS (1:1), whereas the Quadro M5000 has no recorded FP16 capability. The pixel rate of the Quadro M5000 (66.43 GPixel/s) is nearly double that of the MX570 (36.96 GPixel/s), consistent with its larger ROP count.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records only one head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. In that test, the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 scored 38299 points, while the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 scored 29481 points. The MX570 wins by 29.9%, a substantial margin. This result aligns with the percentile rankings: the MX570 is in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, while the Quadro M5000 is in the 76th percentile.

Looking at the nearest rivals for each card provides context. The MX570's closest competitors are the RTX 5080 Mobile (38299 versus 38349, a 0.1% deficit), the RTX 4080 Mobile (0.4% ahead), the MX570 A (1% behind), and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (1.1% behind). The Quadro M5000's nearest rivals are the GRID M60-1Q (0% delta), the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (0.4% ahead), the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (1% behind), and the TITAN RTX (1.5% behind).

The OpenCL score gap of 29.9% is notable given that both cards have identical shading unit counts (2048). The MX570 compensates for its narrower memory bus and lower bandwidth with a newer architecture, higher clock speeds (boost 1155 MHz versus 1038 MHz), and the presence of tensor and ray tracing cores. The Quadro M5000's higher texture and pixel rates do not translate into better OpenCL performance in this measurement.

The MX570's average score of 38299 exactly matches its single OpenCL benchmark result, indicating only one recorded test. The Quadro M5000 has two recorded benchmarks: 29481 in OpenCL and 32931 in Vulkan, giving it an average of 31206. The Vulkan score for the Quadro M5000 is higher than its OpenCL score by 11.7%, but no Vulkan result exists for the MX570 in the database, so a direct comparison in that API cannot be made.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce MX570 wins in compute-oriented workloads as measured by Geekbench OpenCL. Its 29.9% lead over the Quadro M5000 in that benchmark, combined with its 81st percentile ranking, indicates stronger general compute execution per clock. The MX570 also wins on power efficiency: its 15 W TDP versus the Quadro M5000's 150 W TDP represents a tenfold difference. The MX570's modern features, including 16 ray tracing cores, 64 tensor cores, DirectX 12 Ultimate support, and FP16 capability, give it advantages in applications that leverage those hardware paths.

The NVIDIA Quadro M5000 wins decisively on memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 211.6 GB/s, more than double the MX570's 96.00 GB/s. This makes the M5000 better suited for workloads with large data sets that exceed the MX570's 2 GB frame buffer. The M5000 also wins on texture and pixel throughput: its 132.9 GTexel/s texture rate and 66.43 GPixel/s pixel rate are roughly 80% higher than the MX570's equivalents. The M5000 has a wider PCIe interface (x16 versus x8) and dedicated display outputs, making it more flexible for multi-display workstation setups.

The Quadro M5000's Vulkan score of 32931 shows it can perform well in graphics-oriented APIs, though no comparable MX570 Vulkan score exists in the database. The M5000's dual-slot form factor and external power connector indicate it is designed for sustained desktop workloads, whereas the MX570 is an integrated part intended for portable devices.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 in raw compute performance. Its OpenCL score of 38299 versus 29481 for the Quadro M5000, a 29.9% advantage, places it in a higher performance tier. The MX570's nearest rivals include desktop and mobile GPUs like the RTX 5080 Mobile and RTX 4080 Mobile, which cluster within 0.4% of its score. This suggests the MX570 is a surprisingly strong compute performer despite its modest 15 W TDP and compact integrated design.

However, the Quadro M5000 remains relevant for specific use cases. Its 8 GB memory capacity and 211.6 GB/s bandwidth are essential for workloads that require large frame buffers or high-bandwidth data movement. The M5000's double texture rate and pixel rate, along with its 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs, make it better suited for traditional rasterization-heavy graphics tasks. Its dual-slot form factor, 1x DVI and 4x DisplayPort outputs, and PCIe 3.0 x16 interface provide connectivity options that the MX570 cannot offer.

The release dates tell a story of generational distance: the MX570 launched on 2021-12-16, while the Quadro M5000 launched on 2015-06-28. Both are end-of-life products. The MX570 represents the modern Ampere architecture with ray tracing and tensor cores, while the M5000 is a Maxwell-era workstation card. For users prioritizing compute performance, modern API support, and power efficiency, the MX570 is the clear choice. For users needing large memory capacity, high bandwidth, and extensive display outputs in a desktop workstation, the Quadro M5000 retains practical value despite its older architecture and lower benchmark scores.
