Q: How close is the GPU to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 4070 Mobile averages 27435 in benchmarks. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT averages 27425 with a deltaPct of 0, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 averages 27565 with -0.5, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell averages 27135 with 1.1, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 averages 27839 with -1.5.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is an Ada Lovelace GPU built on TSMC 5 nm, containing 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die. Its shader configuration includes 4608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, 36 RT cores, and 144 tensor cores. The base clock is 1395 MHz and the boost clock is 1695 MHz. Memory consists of 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus, with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is listed at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective transfer.

In aggregate GPU benchmarks, the card scores 27435 and ranks at the 73rd percentile. Its nearest rivals are very tightly spaced: the Radeon RX 6700 XT averages 27425 with a deltaPct of 0, the RTX 3090 averages 27565 with -0.5, the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell averages 27135 with 1.1, and the Radeon Pro Vega 20 averages 27839 with -1.5. These deltas place the RTX 4070 Mobile in a dense performance class rather than at a clear advantage over its direct peers.

In Minecraft, the GPU has enough throughput to keep every measured preset at or above 60 fps average. The highest load combination, 3840x2160 Ultra, lands at 60 fps, while 3840x2160 Medium averages 121 fps and 3840x2160 Low reaches 152 fps. At 1920x1080 Low, the average climbs to 461 fps. The 8 GB memory allocation and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are not shown as limiting factors in any measured row, since even the weakest result remains at 60 fps average.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1989 out of 3710 in Minecraft, which places it near the middle of the tested field. That in-game rank is less flattering than the component percentiles might suggest. The CPU is at the 79th percentile against all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 73rd percentile against all GPUs, yet the combined Minecraft rank is roughly centered. The data shows that broad aggregate performance does not directly predict where this pairing falls in this specific game.

The CPU aggregate scores reinforce that idea. With an average of 27507, the Core Ultra 5 125H is within a tiny delta of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 at 27535 (-0.1), the Intel Core i5-12600K at 27578 (-0.3), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X at 27578 (-0.3). It edges the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G, which averages 27382 with a deltaPct of 0.5. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Mobile averages 27435, essentially tied with the Radeon RX 6700 XT at 27425 (0), slightly behind the RTX 3090 at 27565 (-0.5), ahead of the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell at 27135 (1.1), and behind the Radeon Pro Vega 20 at 27839 (-1.5).

The rank of 1989 out of 3710 should be read alongside the FPS data: the combo posts very high averages in absolute terms, including 461 fps at 1080p Low and 181 fps at 1080p Ultra. Many tested combos in Minecraft apparently reach similarly high frame rates, which keeps this pairing from standing out in the ranking despite its strong component-level scores.

Settings Recommendations

Medium is the only preset in the dataset with recorded min and max values at every resolution. At 1920x1080, Medium averages 365 fps with a 311-420 fps window. At 2560x1440, it averages 231 fps with a 196-265 fps window. At 3840x2160, it averages 121 fps with a 102-139 fps window. That makes Medium the preset with the most complete measured frame behavior.

At 1080p, High also looks strong, averaging 290 fps, while Ultra averages 181 fps. High gives a large visual step above Medium while keeping the average well above the measured Medium minimum at 1440p and 4K. At 1440p, Medium’s recorded minimum of 196 fps is higher than High’s average of 183 fps, so Medium is the safer measured choice at that resolution.

At 4K, the decision is clearer. Ultra averages exactly 60 fps and has no recorded minimum, while Medium averages 121 fps with a recorded low of 102 fps. The data favors Medium for 4K because it provides a large measured margin over the 60 fps average threshold. Low presets at 4K reach 152 fps, but they sacrifice quality for FPS that is not necessary in the measured data. Across all three resolutions, Medium is the highest setting with complete min/max data and remains far above 60 fps average, making it the recommended balance in this dataset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the preset order follows a clear progression:

| Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

| Low | 152 | | |

| Medium | 121 | 102 | 139 |

| High | 96 | | |

| Ultra | 60 | | |

At 4K, Low averages 152 fps, Medium averages 121 fps, High averages 96 fps, and Ultra averages 60 fps. The only recorded min/max at this resolution belongs to Medium.

At 2560x1440:

| Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

| Low | 291 | | |

| Medium | 231 | 196 | 265 |

| High | 183 | | |

| Ultra | 114 | | |

At 1440p, Low averages 291 fps and Ultra averages 114 fps. Medium’s recorded minimum of 196 fps is above High’s average of 183 fps, making Medium the strongest mid-setting option in the measured rows.

At 1920x1080:

| Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

| Low | 461 | | |

| Medium | 365 | 311 | 420 |

| High | 290 | | |

| Ultra | 181 | | |

At 1080p, Low peaks at 461 fps, Medium averages 365 fps, High averages 290 fps, and Ultra averages 181 fps. The Medium window runs from 311 to 420 fps, so even its recorded minimum is above the 4K Low average of 152 fps and the 4K Medium average of 121 fps.

The High-to-Ultra step contains the largest single gaps in the measured rows: at 1080p, High 290 fps versus Ultra 181 fps; at 1440p, High 183 fps versus Ultra 114 fps; at 4K, High 96 fps versus Ultra 60 fps.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is a Meteor Lake mobile processor with 14 cores and 18 threads. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz and its boost clock is 4.50 GHz. The chip is built on Intel 7 nm and uses the Intel BGA 2049 socket. Cache is listed as 112 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. It supports DDR5 memory that depends on motherboard, uses dual-channel memory, and has 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The platform supports PCIe Gen 5. The processor also contains Arc Xe-LPG 96EU integrated graphics. Its launch MSRP was $375.

In aggregate benchmarks, the CPU averages 27507 and sits at the 79th percentile against all CPUs. Cinebench R23 multi-core is 12804.5 and single-core is 1647.5. Cinebench R20 multi-core is 7161 and single-core is 1010. Cinebench R15 multi-core is 2021.5 and single-core is 241. PassMark multithread is 21100, single-thread is 3399, integer math is 69986, floating point math is 51670, extended instructions are 13749, data compression is 236209, data encryption is 14251, physics is 1439, find prime numbers is 88, and random string sorting is 27435.

The single-thread results are especially relevant to the Minecraft frame rates in this dataset. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo averages 461 fps, and at 1080p Medium it averages 365 fps. Even 1080p Ultra stays at 181 fps average, which is higher than the 1440p Ultra average of 114 fps and the 4K Ultra average of 60 fps. The measured results follow a strict resolution and settings order: at each resolution, Low produces the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra. That ordering shows the GPU load scaling as expected, while the CPU maintains very high frame rates even at low settings.

Against its nearest rivals, the CPU is effectively a peer of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 at 27535 (-0.1), the Intel Core i5-12600K at 27578 (-0.3), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X at 27578 (-0.3), while slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G at 27382 (0.5). The close aggregate scores mean the 125H is not an outlier in its component class, yet in Minecraft the pairing with the RTX 4070 Mobile still produces some of the highest frame rates in this measured dataset on low and medium settings.
