Architecture Differences

The two NVIDIA parts share the same Blackwell 2.0 architecture and TSMC 5 nm process, but their implementations diverge sharply. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip with a die size of 378 mm² and a transistor count of 45,600 million, yielding a transistor density of 120.6M per mm². The N1 16SM uses the GB20B chip with a slightly larger die at 382 mm², though its transistor count is listed as unknown in the database.

The compute resources tell a clear story of scale. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER carries 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The N1 16SM is far smaller in this regard, with 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and only 24 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware follows the same pattern: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores, while the N1 16SM has 16 RT cores and 64 tensor cores. The shading unit count alone shows a 4.4x difference favoring the discrete card.

Clock behavior also differs meaningfully. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The N1 16SM has a much lower base clock of 741 MHz but a boost clock of 2346 MHz, which is close to the discrete card's boost figure. The N1 16SM's wide gap between base and boost suggests a power-adaptive design typical of integrated graphics parts.

The memory subsystems are fundamentally different. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The N1 16SM uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X, also on a 256-bit bus, but bandwidth drops to 273.2 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective, while the N1 16SM's memory runs at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective. The discrete card holds a 3.3x bandwidth advantage.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a dual-slot, 304 mm long card requiring a 1x 16-pin power connector. The N1 16SM is an IGP with no power connector and no listed dimensions. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, while the N1 16SM lists only 1x HDMI. API support also diverges: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, whereas the N1 16SM lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and the N1 16SM. No wins are recorded for either side in this comparison, and the N1 16SM has an empty benchmark list. This absence of direct measurements means the comparison must rely on the broader recorded characteristics of each product.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers a measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5 and an average benchmark score of 6270. Its percentile rank among all GPUs in the database stands at 36. The N1 16SM holds a percentile rank of 50, but this is based on no recorded benchmark data, so the percentile likely reflects its classification rather than performance measurements.

Looking at the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals provides context for its performance tier. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 matches its average score exactly at 6270, with a 0% delta. The AMD FirePro W600 sits 0.8% higher, and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 sits 0.9% lower. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 is 0.2% lower. These deltas are all within a narrow band, suggesting the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's score places it in a tightly clustered performance region around the 6270 mark.

The compute throughput figures, while not direct benchmark scores, indicate the scale of the difference. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER reaches 43.94 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, while the N1 16SM reaches 9.609 TFLOPS for both. That is a 4.6x difference in raw floating-point output. Pixel rate for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 56.30 GPixel/s for the N1 16SM, a 4.2x gap. Texture rate shows 686.6 GTexel/s versus 300.3 GTexel/s, a 2.3x gap. These figures align with the shading unit and ROP counts, confirming that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is designed for substantially higher rendering throughput.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two products with the same architecture name but entirely different roles. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a discrete, actively cooled expansion card with a measured benchmark score, a full API stack, and a 350 W power envelope. The N1 16SM is an integrated graphics processor with no benchmark entries, no API support listed, and no power draw figure, designed for a system-on-chip role rather than standalone graphics duty.

For any task that requires a benchmark-verified graphics workload, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only option with supporting data. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6269.5 places it in a measurable performance class, and its 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput represents a 4.6x advantage over the N1 16SM's 9.609 TFLOPS. The memory bandwidth advantage is equally stark: 896.0 GB/s versus 273.2 GB/s.

The N1 16SM's 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory is its defining feature, but the database does not connect this capacity to any graphics benchmark outcome. The 24 ROPs and 56.30 GPixel/s pixel rate suggest limited rasterization throughput relative to the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 96 ROPs and 235.4 GPixel/s. For rendering workloads, the discrete card holds decisive advantages across every measured compute, texture, and pixel metric.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the appropriate choice for graphics-intensive systems where a PCIe 5.0 x16 card can be installed and powered via a 16-pin connector. The N1 16SM fits an integrated context where no expansion slot or external power is available, and where the 128 GB unified memory pool serves system-wide needs rather than dedicated graphics throughput. The data does not support treating them as competitors in the same segment; they occupy different tiers of the same architecture family.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field in the database. The process node is the same (5 nm, TSMC), but the die size differs slightly: 378 mm² for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER versus 382 mm² for the N1 16SM. Transistor count is 45,600 million for the discrete card and unknown for the IGP.

Clock speeds diverge significantly. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The N1 16SM has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz. Memory clocks also differ: 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER versus 1067 MHz (8.5 Gbps effective) for the N1 16SM.

Memory capacity, type, and bandwidth all differ. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB GDDR7 with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. The N1 16SM uses 128 GB LPDDR5X with 273.2 GB/s bandwidth. Both use a 256-bit bus.

Compute unit counts differ across the board: shading units (8960 vs 2048), TMUs (280 vs 128), ROPs (96 vs 24), RT cores (70 vs 16), and tensor cores (280 vs 64). Pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 56.30 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s versus 300.3 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 are both 43.94 TFLOPS for the discrete card and 9.609 TFLOPS for the IGP.

Form factor and power delivery differ completely. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is dual-slot, 304 mm long, 137 mm high, and 48 mm wide, with a 350 W TDP and a 1x 16-pin connector. The N1 16SM is listed as IGP with no dimensions, no TDP, and no power connector.

Display outputs differ: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, while the N1 16SM lists 1x HDMI. The bus interface is the same for both: PCIe 5.0 x16. API support is present for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER (DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4) and listed as N/A for the N1 16SM. Release dates differ: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is dated 2025-12-31, and the N1 16SM is dated 2026-05-31.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every category where the database provides a measured performance metric. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5 is the only direct benchmark result in this comparison. It also leads in FP32 throughput (43.94 TFLOPS versus 9.609 TFLOPS), texture rate (686.6 GTexel/s versus 300.3 GTexel/s), pixel rate (235.4 GPixel/s versus 56.30 GPixel/s), and memory bandwidth (896.0 GB/s versus 273.2 GB/s). The discrete card additionally supports the full set of modern graphics APIs, which the N1 16SM does not list.

The N1 16SM holds advantages in areas unrelated to raw graphics throughput. Its 128 GB memory capacity is 8x larger than the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB. Its die size is marginally larger at 382 mm² versus 378 mm². Its percentile rank of 50 versus the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 36 reflects a different database classification, but given the absence of benchmark data for the N1 16SM, this should not be read as a performance superiority. The N1 16SM also requires no power connector and has no dimensions, making it suitable for compact integrated designs where the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 304 mm length and dual-slot width cannot fit.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rival data places it in a specific performance tier. Matching the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 at 6270 with a 0% delta, and sitting within 0.9% of the AMD FirePro W600 and Radeon R7 M350, the discrete card's measured performance is tightly grouped. The N1 16SM has no such rival comparisons in the database, so its relative standing cannot be quantified beyond its own specifications.

For workloads that depend on floating-point compute, texture filtering, pixel fill, or memory bandwidth, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice based on the recorded figures. For system-level memory capacity and integrated operation without external power, the N1 16SM offers a different trade-off, trading 4.6x lower FP32 throughput and 3.3x lower bandwidth for 8x more memory and a connector-free IGP form factor. The data does not show a scenario where the N1 16SM outperforms the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER in a graphics benchmark, because no such benchmark exists for the N1 16SM.
