AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S vs Intel Arc B570 Comparison

The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S and Intel Arc B570 occupy very different positions in the recorded benchmark database. The Intel part has a full set of measured scores, an average benchmark score of 20,556, and a percentile rank of 65 among all GPUs. The AMD part, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and a percentile rank of 50. This means the database contains no direct performance measurements for the Radeon AI PRO R9700S, while the Arc B570 has substantial data. All comparisons below therefore rely on the recorded specifications of both cards and the measured performance of the Arc B570 alone.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no head-to-head benchmark results for these two cards. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the wins counter shows zero for both sides. Consequently, no direct performance comparison can be made from measured scores. The only measured performance data belongs to the Intel Arc B570.

The Arc B570 records an average benchmark score of 20,556 across its ten benchmark runs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with an average score of 20,534 and a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Arc A750 with an average score of 20,582 and a delta of -0.1%, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M with an average score of 20,480 and a delta of 0.4%, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X with an average score of 20,662 and a delta of -0.5%. These deltas show that the Arc B570 is essentially tied with the RTX 3070 Mobile, the Arc A750, and the Quadro M4000M, while sitting just 0.5% below the R9 M390X. The spread among all five cards is less than one percentage point, so the Arc B570 sits in a tight cluster of similar performers.

Breaking down the Arc B570’s individual benchmark results, the strongest relative showing comes in Geekbench Vulkan with a score of 96,844, followed by Geekbench OpenCL at 83,514. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 2,649 points. Passmark results show a G3D score of 14,195, a GPU compute score of 7,281, a G2D score of 661, a DirectX 9 score of 164, a DirectX 11 score of 118, a DirectX 12 score of 72, and a DirectX 10 score of 65. These scores indicate that the Arc B570 performs markedly better in modern compute and Vulkan workloads than in legacy DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 scenarios, where its scores are low relative to its DirectX 12 and compute results.

Because the Radeon AI PRO R9700S has no benchmark entries, the database cannot quantify its wins or losses against the Arc B570. The data shows only that the AMD card has a lower percentile rank (50 versus 65) and a zero average score, but this is not a performance measurement; it reflects the absence of recorded results. The Arc B570’s measured scores demonstrate that it performs within one percent of several established mid-range and older high-end cards, but there is no corresponding measured data for the AMD part.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B570 wins on every measured benchmark category because it is the only card with recorded results. The database shows wins in Vulkan compute (96,844), OpenCL compute (83,514), and DirectX 12 via 3DMark Steel Nomad (2,649). It also records wins in Passmark’s G3D (14,195), GPU compute (7,281), G2D (661), DirectX 9 (164), DirectX 11 (118), DirectX 12 (72), and DirectX 10 (65) tests. These results place the Arc B570 in a performance tier that is statistically indistinguishable from the RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc A750, Quadro M4000M, and R9 M390X, with all deltas under one percent.

The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmarks. Its percentile rank of 50, while lower than the Arc B570’s 65, does not represent a measured performance outcome. The data cannot show where the Radeon wins because there are no scores to compare. In terms of specifications, however, the Radeon AI PRO R9700S leads in several categories that typically influence performance. It has 4,096 shading units versus 2,304, 256 texture mapping units versus 144, 128 rops versus 80, and 64 ray tracing cores versus 18. Its FP32 throughput is 47.84 TFLOPS versus 11.52 TFLOPS, and its FP16 throughput is also 47.84 TFLOPS (1:1) versus 23.04 TFLOPS (2:1) for the Arc B570. The Radeon also has a higher pixel rate (373.8 GPixel/s versus 200.0 GPixel/s) and texture rate (747.5 GTexel/s versus 360.0 GTexel/s). These specification advantages suggest that the Radeon would likely outperform the Arc B570 in compute-heavy tasks, but the database has no measurements to confirm this.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every major specification field. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S uses a Navi 48 chip on RDNA 4.0 architecture, while the Arc B570 uses a BMG-G21 chip on Xe2-HPG architecture. The Radeon is built on a 4 nm TSMC process with 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die (transistor density of 151.0M per mm²). The Arc B570 uses a 5 nm TSMC process with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die (density of 72.1M per mm²). The Radeon has more than twice the transistor count, a 31% larger die, and more than twice the transistor density.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Radeon has a base clock of 1660 MHz, a boost clock of 2920 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The Arc B570 has a base and boost clock of 2500 MHz, with no recorded game clock. The Radeon’s memory clock is 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective), while the Arc B570’s is 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). Memory capacity is 32 GB versus 10 GB, bus width is 256 bit versus 160 bit, and bandwidth is 644.6 GB/s versus 380.0 GB/s.

Compute resources differ as listed: 4,096 versus 2,304 shading units, 256 versus 144 TMUs, 128 versus 80 ROPs, and 64 versus 18 ray tracing cores.

Architecture Differences

The architecture differences go beyond the process node. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S uses RDNA 4.0 architecture, which the database records as supporting FP32 and FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, meaning both rates are 47.84 TFLOPS. The Arc B570 uses Xe2-HPG architecture, which records FP32 at 11.52 TFLOPS and FP16 at 23.04 TFLOPS, a 2:1 ratio. This indicates that the Radeon’s FP16 throughput equals its FP32 throughput, while the Arc B570’s FP16 throughput is double its FP32 throughput. The Radeon’s architecture also includes 64 ray tracing cores, while the Arc B570 has 18. Neither card lists tensor cores in the database.

The Radeon’s memory architecture includes a 256-bit bus and 32 GB of GDDR6, enabling a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. The Arc B570 has a 160-bit bus and 10 GB of GDDR6, yielding 380.0 GB/s. The Radeon’s die is larger and denser, which correlates with its higher transistor count. The Arc B570’s predecessor is listed as Alchemist, while the Radeon’s predecessor is Radeon Pro Vega. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon uses PCIe 5.0 x16, a newer and wider interface than the Arc B570’s PCIe 4.0 x8.

The Radeon’s power architecture is also distinct: it draws 300 W, requires a 16-pin connector, and suggests a 700 W PSU. The Arc B570 draws 150 W, uses an 8-pin connector, and suggests a 450 W PSU. The Radeon is physically slightly shorter but taller and thicker than the Arc B570, with the Arc B570 having no recorded width. Both cards are active in production status, with the Radeon released on 2025-12-10 and the Arc B570 released on 2025-01-15.

The Verdict

The database provides a clear verdict for the Intel Arc B570: it is a measured performer. With an average benchmark score of 20,556 and a percentile rank of 65, the Arc B570 sits in a tight cluster with the RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc A750, Quadro M4000M, and R9 M390X, all within 0.5% of each other. Its best scores come in Vulkan and OpenCL compute workloads, where it records 96,844 and 83,514 points respectively. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,649 and Passmark G3D score of 14,195 provide additional reference points. The Arc B570 has a launch MSRP of 219 USD, which the database records, and it requires a 450 W PSU with a 150 W TDP.

The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S has no measured performance data. Its percentile rank of 50 and zero average score reflect the absence of benchmark entries, not a performance deficit. The database cannot verify any performance claim for this card. What the specifications show is a dramatically larger and more powerful design: 53,900 million transistors, 32 GB of memory, 644.6 GB/s bandwidth, 4,096 shading units, 64 ray tracing cores, and 47.84 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. These figures are multiples of the Arc B570’s corresponding specifications. The Radeon also draws 300 W, uses a 16-pin power connector, and requires a 700 W PSU, indicating a much higher power envelope.

For users relying on measured database results, the Arc B570 is the only card with verified performance. It competes at the level of the RTX 3070 Mobile and Arc A750, and its compute scores are strong. For users prioritizing raw specification headroom, the Radeon AI PRO R9700S presents higher numbers in every compute metric, memory capacity, and bandwidth category. The data shows that the Radeon is designed for heavier workloads, given its 32 GB frame buffer and 256-bit bus, but no benchmark confirms how that translates into real-world performance. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the Arc B570 has proven results, while the Radeon AI PRO R9700S remains an unmeasured specification sheet.
