So, I decided to benchmark my laptop as well because it has nVidia RTX mobile graphics but has a much weaker 10th Gen Core i5 CPU.
I am just going to put the graphs up. I think you can see that the RTX mobile graphics has higher computational scores than my desktop AMD GPU and that is reflected in the GPU scores in Blender. It also shows that higher scores in Geeekbench do not translate into higher FPS in games as the FPS in the other benchmarks are lower than my AMD desktop GPU.
In CPU, this Core i5 is much weaker than the others. Intel has stepped up their mobile game recently, so if I had a 12th Gen or 13th Gen CPU, this would be a different story.
In gaming benchmarks, the two GPUs are very similar. Unplug the laptop and that similarity ends. But in Geekbench and Blender, the RTX shines – even the mobile chip.
Also for reference, here are the release dates for most of this hardware. The M2 is by far newer than any of the other hardware and my laptop hardware and desktop hardware have been surpassed by newer generations and those will have much better benchmarks.
