AMD Instinct MI300A vs Intel Arc A570M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no overlapping benchmark scores for the AMD Instinct MI300A and the Intel Arc A570M. The AMD Instinct MI300A has no recorded benchmark entries, resulting in an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs. The Intel Arc A570M, by contrast, has a single recorded Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239, placing it in the 88th percentile overall.

Because the MI300A lacks benchmark data, a direct score comparison is impossible. The data instead shows a comparison based on the Arc A570M's nearest rivals. The Arc A570M's OpenCL score sits 0.3% below the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58,392), 0.3% above the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (58,085), 0.5% below the NVIDIA P102-100 (58,528), and 0.7% below the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (58,657). These deltas are remarkably tight, indicating the Arc A570M performs within a narrow band around these desktop and workstation parts in OpenCL compute.

The absence of MI300A benchmarks leaves its compute performance unquantified in this database. The recorded data confirms the MI300A's theoretical specifications, but no measured workload results exist to place it against the Arc A570M or any other GPU.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A570M wins the only measurable category: recorded benchmarks. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 is the sole data point available, and it demonstrates competitive compute performance against its nearest rivals. The delta percentages show a near-tie with the RX 6950 XT and RX 5600 OEM, meaning the Arc A570M can trade blows with those parts in OpenCL workloads.

The AMD Instinct MI300A wins on raw specification breadth. Its memory subsystem is far larger: 128 GB of HBM3 on an 8192-bit bus delivers 5.32 TB/s of bandwidth, versus the Arc A570M's 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 224.0 GB/s. The MI300A's FP32 throughput is rated at 61.29 TFLOPS, while the Arc A570M delivers 5.325 TFLOPS. The MI300A also carries 14,592 shading units and 912 texture mapping units, compared to 2,048 shading units and 128 TMUs on the Arc A570M.

The MI300A's pixel rate is recorded as 0 MPixel/s, and it has no display outputs, indicating it is not designed for rasterized rendering. The Arc A570M has a pixel rate of 83.20 GPixel/s and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it the only one of the two with graphics API support. The MI300A lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different architectural families. The MI300A uses CDNA 3.0, built on a 5 nm TSMC process, with the Aqua Vanjaram chip. The Arc A570M uses Xe-HPG, built on a 6 nm TSMC process, with the DG2-256 chip. The MI300A belongs to the Instinct (MIx) generation, while the Arc A570M belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile) generation.

Transistor counts differ enormously. The MI300A packs 153,000 million transistors on a 1017 mm² die, yielding a density of 150.4 million transistors per square millimeter. The Arc A570M has 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, for a density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The MI300A's density advantage reflects the denser 5 nm process and the HBM3 memory integration.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The MI300A uses HBM3 with a 8192-bit bus, while the Arc A570M uses GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus. Clock behavior also differs: the MI300A has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 2100 MHz, with memory running at 1300 MHz (5.2 Gbps effective). The Arc A570M has a base of 900 MHz and a boost of 1300 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The MI300A's memory bandwidth of 5.32 TB/s is a multiple of the Arc A570M's 224.0 GB/s.

The MI300A has no ray tracing cores listed, while the Arc A570M has 16. The MI300A also has no tensor core count recorded. The Arc A570M reports FP16 performance at 10.65 TFLOPS (2:1), a figure the MI300A does not list. Texture rate favors the MI300A at 1,915.2 GTexel/s versus 166.4 GTexel/s for the Arc A570M.

Form factor and power draw separate them further. The MI300A is an OAM Module with a 750 W TDP and no power connectors listed, requiring a 1150 W suggested PSU. It connects via PCIe 5.0 x16. The Arc A570M is an IGP with a 75 W TDP, no power connector data, and a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The MI300A has no display outputs; the Arc A570M's outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent."

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two GPUs designed for entirely different purposes. The AMD Instinct MI300A is a compute-oriented accelerator with massive memory capacity, enormous bandwidth, and high FP32 throughput. Its lack of display outputs, graphics API support, and rasterization hardware confirms it is not intended for consumer graphics workloads. The Intel Arc A570M, by contrast, is a mobile graphics processor with full API support, display outputs, and a 75 W TDP, designed for portable devices.

For compute-heavy workloads requiring large memory and bandwidth, the MI300A's specifications dominate. The 128 GB HBM3 pool and 5.32 TB/s bandwidth exceed the Arc A570M's 8 GB and 224.0 GB/s by orders of magnitude. The FP32 figure of 61.29 TFLOPS versus 5.325 TFLOPS reinforces this gap.

For graphics rendering and API compatibility, the Arc A570M is the only viable option. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate support, Vulkan 1.4, and pixel rate of 83.20 GPixel/s give it a functional role the MI300A cannot fill. The Arc A570M's benchmark score of 58,239 also provides a measurable performance reference, while the MI300A has none.

The data suggests a user with rendering or gaming needs would select the Arc A570M. A user with server or accelerator needs would select the MI300A. The lack of overlapping benchmarks prevents a direct performance ranking, but the specification differences alone establish clear use-case separation.
