NVIDIA GeForce MX570 vs NVIDIA T600 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records a single direct comparison between the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 and the NVIDIA T600 Mobile, using the Geekbench OpenCL workload. In this test, the MX570 scores 38,299, while the T600 Mobile scores 35,486. The MX570 wins by 7.9 percent, a notable margin in a compute-oriented benchmark.

Looking at the broader context, the MX570 is positioned in the 81st percentile of all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 38,299. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile, which scores 38,349 (a 0.1 percent advantage for the RTX part), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile, which scores 38,135 (a 0.4 percent deficit for the RTX part). The MX570 also sits just ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (38,691, which is 1 percent higher) and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (38,706, which is 1.1 percent higher). These figures show the MX570 is operating in a performance band that includes much larger, higher-power mobile GPUs, which is remarkable for a 15 W part.

The T600 Mobile, by contrast, is in the 77th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32,849. This average is pulled down by its second recorded benchmark, a Geekbench Vulkan score of 30,211, which is significantly lower than its OpenCL result of 35,486. The T600 Mobile's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA P104-100 (32,982, a 0.4 percent advantage for the P104), the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (32,601, a 0.8 percent deficit for the RX), the AMD FirePro S9300 X2 (32,540, a 0.9 percent deficit for the FirePro), and the NVIDIA T550 Mobile (33,161, a 0.9 percent advantage for the T550). This places the T600 Mobile in a mid-range band, clearly below the MX570 in raw compute throughput.

The 7.9 percent OpenCL delta is the only head-to-head data point, but it is consistent with the architectural differences documented in the database. The MX570's shading unit count, texture rate, and FP32 throughput all point to a higher compute ceiling, which the benchmark confirms. The T600 Mobile does have a higher boost clock, but that does not compensate for its much lower core count in this workload.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architecture generations, and those differences are substantial. The MX570 is built on the Ampere architecture, using the GA107S chip, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The T600 Mobile is a Turing part, using the TU117 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. The process node difference alone gives the MX570 a significant efficiency advantage, as it packs 8,700 million transistors into a 200 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 43.5 million per mm². The T600 Mobile has 4,700 million transistors on the same 200 mm² die, for a density of 23.5 million per mm². That is nearly half the density, which explains why the MX570 can offer far more compute resources at a much lower power draw.

The compute resources differ dramatically. The MX570 has 2,048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. It also includes 16 ray tracing cores and 64 tensor cores, features that are entirely absent from the T600 Mobile, which has no dedicated RT or tensor hardware. The T600 Mobile has 896 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The MX570's shading unit count is more than double that of the T600 Mobile, which directly drives its higher FP32 throughput: 4.731 TFLOPS for the MX570 versus 2.527 TFLOPS for the T600 Mobile. The MX570 also achieves a higher pixel rate of 36.96 GPixel/s, though the T600 Mobile counters with a higher texture rate of 78.96 GTexel/s versus 73.92 GTexel/s for the MX570. This is an interesting split: the MX570 wins on pixel throughput, while the T600 Mobile wins on texture fill, despite having fewer TMUs, because of its higher boost clock.

Clock speeds also favor the T600 Mobile. Its base clock is 780 MHz and boost clock is 1,410 MHz, while the MX570 runs at a base of 832 MHz and boosts to 1,155 MHz. The T600 Mobile's boost clock is 255 MHz higher, which helps it close some of the gap in texture-bound workloads. However, the FP32 data shows the core count advantage of the MX570 is decisive for general compute.

Memory configurations are another major divide. The MX570 has 2 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, delivering 96.00 GB/s of bandwidth. The T600 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The T600 Mobile has twice the memory capacity and twice the bandwidth, which is a critical advantage for workloads that are memory-bound or require larger working sets. Both GPUs use 12 Gbps effective memory speed, so the bandwidth difference comes entirely from the bus width.

The API support also reflects the architectural generation gap. The MX570 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the T600 Mobile supports DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The MX570's DirectX 12 Ultimate support is a meaningful feature difference, as it enables hardware-accelerated ray tracing and other next-generation rendering features that the T600 Mobile cannot provide.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear compute-performance winner in the MX570, which leads the T600 Mobile by 7.9 percent in OpenCL and offers more than 1.8 times the FP32 throughput. For users whose primary workload is general-purpose GPU compute, shader-heavy rendering, or any task that leverages the MX570's 2,048 shading units and tensor cores, the MX570 is the stronger choice based on the recorded benchmarks.

However, the T600 Mobile has two significant advantages that may matter more for certain use cases. First, it has 4 GB of VRAM versus 2 GB, and 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth versus 96.00 GB/s. For applications that need to hold larger datasets in GPU memory or that are bandwidth-limited, the T600 Mobile is the better option. Second, the T600 Mobile is a Quadro-branded part, which historically targets professional workstation workloads, and its predecessor is listed as Quadro Pascal-M, indicating a lineage in that segment.

The MX570 also has a much lower TDP of 15 W versus 40 W for the T600 Mobile. This makes the MX570 far more suitable for thin-and-light laptops where thermal and power budgets are constrained. The T600 Mobile's higher power draw implies a need for more robust cooling and a larger battery, which typically translates into bulkier chassis designs.

In terms of market positioning, the MX570 sits in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, while the T600 Mobile sits in the 77th percentile. The MX570's nearest rivals include high-end mobile parts like the RTX 4080 Mobile and RTX 5080 Mobile, which shows its compute performance is competitive with much larger GPUs despite its minimal power draw. The T600 Mobile's nearest rivals are more modest, including the T550 Mobile and the RX 590 GME.

The verdict from the database is straightforward: pick the MX570 for raw compute performance, lower power consumption, and modern architecture features. Pick the T600 Mobile for double the memory capacity, double the memory bandwidth, and a higher boost clock that helps in texture-bound scenarios. The choice ultimately depends on whether the workload is compute-bound or memory-bound.
