AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S vs Intel Arc A570M Comparison

The Verdict

The database places the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S and the Intel Arc A570M in entirely different performance tiers. The AMD part holds the 50th percentile among all GPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 88th percentile. That percentile difference is striking because the AMD card is the larger, more expensive-class product in every measurable way, yet the recorded data shows it has no benchmark score attached, whereas the Intel Arc A570M has a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S is built for workstation-class workloads with 32 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 256-bit bus, and 4096 shading units. The Intel Arc A570M is a mobile integrated graphics processor with 8 GB of GDDR6, a 128-bit bus, and 2048 shading units. For anyone choosing strictly from the recorded data, the Intel part is the one with verified compute performance, while the AMD part is the one with vastly larger raw hardware resources but no measured benchmark result in the database. The AMD card targets users who need maximum memory capacity and bandwidth, while the Intel part fits systems where power draw and physical footprint are constrained. Neither part has a launch MSRP recorded, so no price-based guidance is possible. The data indicates that the Intel Arc A570M, despite its smaller silicon, has a verified compute score that places it near the top of all GPUs, while the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S remains unverified in benchmark terms but offers a specification sheet that dwarfs the Intel part in nearly every category.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture. The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture. These are fundamentally different designs from different vendors with different process nodes. AMD fabricated its chip on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while Intel also used TSMC but on a 6 nm process. The transistor counts differ enormously. The AMD chip packs 53,900 million transistors into a die size of 357 mm², giving a transistor density of 151.0 million transistors per mm². The Intel chip has 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, resulting in a density of 42.8 million transistors per mm². The AMD chip is both larger in die area and far denser in transistor packing. The AMD part belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi IV Series) generation, while the Intel part is from the Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile) generation. The AMD card is a discrete dual-slot add-in board with a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the Intel part is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The AMD card has four DisplayPort 2.1a outputs, while the Intel part's display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," reflecting its mobile integration. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity exists despite the architectural gulf. The AMD architecture allocates 64 ray tracing cores, while the Intel part has 16. The AMD chip also has 256 texture mapping units and 128 render output units, double the Intel part's 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The fundamental difference is that AMD built a large, power-hungry workstation GPU, while Intel built a compact mobile-class GPU. The AMD part releases on 2025-12-10, while the Intel part released on 2023-07-31. The AMD card's predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega, while the Intel part has no predecessor listed. Both are marked as Active in production status.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S and the Intel Arc A570M. The wins count is zero for both parts. However, the Intel Arc A570M has one recorded benchmark result: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239. That score places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S has no benchmark entries, an average benchmark score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT with an average score of 58392, which is 0.3% higher than the Arc A570M. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58085, which is 0.3% lower. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58528, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, which is 0.7% higher. This means the Intel Arc A570M's single recorded score sits within a narrow band of less than 1% from four other GPUs, indicating that its compute performance is comparable to those desktop parts despite its mobile IGP classification. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S has no comparable data point. The theoretical compute figures show a massive gap. The AMD card delivers 47.84 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Intel part delivers 5.325 TFLOPS. The AMD card's FP16 performance is 47.84 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part's FP16 is 10.65 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. The pixel rate for the AMD card is 373.8 GPixel/s versus 83.20 GPixel/s for the Intel part. The texture rate is 747.5 GTexel/s versus 166.4 GTexel/s. Memory bandwidth is 644.6 GB/s versus 224.0 GB/s. In every raw computational metric recorded, the AMD card leads by a wide margin, but those metrics are specification-derived, not benchmark-verified. The only actual benchmark score belongs to the Intel part.
