ARM Immortalis-G715 MP11 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

ARM Immortalis-G715 MP11

The ARM Immortalis-G715MC11 is an integrated high-end graphics card for smartphones with 11 of the 16 possible cores. It is based on the third generation of the Valhall architecture by ARM and offers a 15% higher performance than the previous generation. ARM also claims that the machine learning performance was clearly improved (2x architectural improvements). The G715 is the first mobile GPU with hardware ray tracing support and also supports variable rate shading (VRS). The Immortalis name is used for G715 models with 10 or more cores.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 is a high-end desktop graphics card based on the AD104 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture. The 4070 offers 5,888 cores and 12 GB GDDR6X graphics memory with a 192 bit memory bus and clocked at 21 Gbits. The card offers a good raytracing performance thanks to the 46 dedicated raytracing cores. For AI calculations (and DLSS 3 in games), the RTX 4070 has 184 Tensor cores.

The gaming performance is well suited for 2k/QHD gaming in most demanding games, and should be able to handle 4k gaming for lesser demanding games (or with reduced settings / DLSS activated). The raw gaming performance is comparable to an older RTX 3080 or a AMD Radeon 6800 XT. Compared to the similar named mobile GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, the desktop variant is much faster.

The AD104 chip is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at TSMC (4N with EUV) and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 200 Watt (compared to the 450 Watt of the RTX 4090).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 is a high-end desktop graphics card based on the AD103 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture. The 4080 offers 9,728 cores and 16 GB GDDR6X graphics memory with a 256 bit memory bus and clocked at 22.4 Gbits. The card offers a very good raytracing performance thanks to the 76 dedicated raytracing cores. For AI calculations (and DLSS 3 in games), the RTX 4080 has 304 Tensor cores.

The gaming performance is well suited for 4k60 gaming in maximum detail settings and 2k gaming with higher frame rates. Even Raytracing effects can be used with DLSS in most games. Compared to the competition, the RTX 4080 is on par with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT with a noticeable advantage when raytracing is used.

The AD103 chp is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at TSMC (4N with EUV) and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 320 Watt (compared to the 450 Watt of the RTX 4090). Nvidia is recommending a 750 Watt power supply for the RTX4080.
