AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs Intel Arc A570M Comparison

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 and Intel Arc A570M occupy nearly the same spot in the aggregate performance hierarchy, yet their benchmark results tell a story of two completely different design philosophies. The V710 is a workstation-focused GPU with a massive memory pool and compute throughput, while the A570M is a mobile part built for efficiency. Despite the Arc A570M being a closer rival in average score than either card’s other nearest competitors, the head-to-head data shows a decisive single-test victory for the AMD part, with a 100% delta in Geekbench OpenCL. This page breaks down the architectural chasm, the benchmark evidence, and the specific use cases where each card’s strengths dictate a clear choice.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 32 chip, with the codename Wheat Nas. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. In contrast, the Intel Arc A570M uses the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-256 chip, part of the Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile) generation. These are fundamentally different designs: RDNA 3.0 is a graphics-first architecture optimized for compute throughput, while Xe-HPG is Intel’s gaming-focused architecture tailored for mobile efficiency.

The manufacturing process highlights a key difference. The V710 is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, while the A570M uses a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. The V710’s die measures 346 mm² and contains 28,100 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The A570M’s die is 269 mm² with 11,500 million transistors, for a density of 42.8M per mm². The V710’s denser, more advanced node allows for significantly more hardware resources.

Clock speeds further separate the two. The V710 runs at a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz, while the A570M operates at a much lower 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost. This clock advantage, combined with the V710’s larger silicon, drives its compute superiority. The memory clocks also differ: the V710 uses 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the A570M uses 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective.

The V710’s shader configuration is substantially larger. It features 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units (TMUs), 96 raster output units (ROPs), and 54 ray tracing cores. The A570M has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The V710 has 68% more shading units, 69% more TMUs, 50% more ROPs, and over three times the ray tracing cores. The V710’s FP32 throughput is 27.65 TFLOPS, while the A570M delivers 5.325 TFLOPS. Notably, the V710’s FP16 performance is identical to FP32 at 27.65 TFLOPS (1:1), whereas the A570M’s FP16 is 10.65 TFLOPS (2:1), indicating a different compute ratio.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark comparison available is the Geekbench OpenCL test, and the result is lopsided. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 116460, while the Intel Arc A570M scores 58239. The delta is exactly 100%, meaning the V710 is twice as fast in this compute workload. This is a massive margin that dwarfs the 0.7% aggregate score difference between the two cards.

The aggregate average scores, however, tell a different story. The V710’s average benchmark score is 58657, and the A570M’s is 58239. The nearest rivals for the V710 include the NVIDIA P102-100 (58528, 0.2% behind), the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58392, 0.5% behind), and the Intel Arc A570M itself (58239, 0.7% behind). For the A570M, its nearest rival list includes the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58392, -0.3% relative to the A570M), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (58085, 0.3% ahead), and the NVIDIA P102-100 (58528, -0.5% relative). The V710 is the A570M’s fourth nearest rival, sitting 0.7% ahead.

This discrepancy between the aggregate average and the single head-to-head test suggests that the two cards are tuned for different workloads. The Geekbench OpenCL test heavily favors the V710’s raw compute resources, but other unlisted benchmarks likely narrow the gap, pulling the A570M’s average score close to the V710’s. The data shows that in a compute-heavy OpenCL scenario, the V710 is the clear winner, but in a broader multi-test suite, the difference is negligible.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs diverge on nearly every hardware specification. The process node differs: 5 nm for the V710 versus 6 nm for the A570M. Transistor counts are 28,100 million versus 11,500 million, and die sizes are 346 mm² versus 269 mm². The V710’s base clock is 1900 MHz compared to the A570M’s 900 MHz, and boost clocks are 2000 MHz versus 1300 MHz.

Memory is a major differentiator. The V710 has 28 GB of GDDR6 with a 224-bit bus and 504.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the A570M has 8 GB with a 128-bit bus and 224.0 GB/s. The V710’s shading units are 3456 versus 2048, TMUs are 216 versus 128, and ROPs are 96 versus 64. Ray tracing cores are 54 versus 16, and FP32 throughput is 27.65 TFLOPS versus 5.325 TFLOPS. The V710’s FP16 is 27.65 TFLOPS (1:1), while the A570M’s is 10.65 TFLOPS (2:1).

Power and physical characteristics are starkly different. The V710 has a TDP of 158 W, is a single-slot card, and uses a 1x 8-pin power connector with a suggested PSU of 450 W. The A570M has a TDP of 75 W, is classified as an IGP (integrated graphics processor), has no power connectors listed, and no suggested PSU. The bus interface also differs: the V710 uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the A570M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs are another key difference—the V710 has no outputs (it is compute-focused), whereas the A570M’s outputs are portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear verdict: the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the superior compute performer, and the Intel Arc A570M is the efficiency-focused mobile part. The V710’s 100% lead in the Geekbench OpenCL test is the single most decisive metric on this page. It delivers double the OpenCL score of the A570M, backed by nearly six times the FP32 throughput, 3.5 times the memory, and over double the bandwidth. For any workload that relies on raw compute, shader count, or memory capacity, the V710 is the obvious choice.

However, the A570M is not without merit. Its TDP of 75 W is less than half the V710’s 158 W, making it far more suitable for portable devices where power draw and thermal output are critical constraints. The A570M is an IGP with portable device dependent outputs, designed to be integrated into laptops or compact systems, whereas the V710 is a single-slot card with no display outputs, intended for server or workstation compute tasks. The aggregate average scores are nearly identical (58657 vs 58239), indicating that in a broad set of unspecified benchmarks, the two cards perform comparably—but the Geekbench OpenCL result shows the V710’s compute ceiling is far higher.

For a user needing maximum compute performance in a workstation or server environment, the V710 is the data-backed pick. For a user prioritizing low power consumption and mobile integration, the A570M is the only viable option given its form factor and power envelope.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in compute-intensive scenarios. Its 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 (1:1) throughput, combined with 28 GB of memory and 504.0 GB/s bandwidth, make it suited for tasks like large-scale data processing, machine learning inference, or rendering workloads that require massive memory pools. The 54 ray tracing cores also give it an edge in ray-traced compute tasks. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460 confirms this, as it doubles the A570M’s result. The V710’s 158 W TDP and single-slot design with a 1x 8-pin connector indicate it is meant for systems with dedicated power delivery.

The Intel Arc A570M wins in power-constrained and mobile environments. Its 75 W TDP is under half the V710’s, making it suitable for thin-and-light laptops or compact devices where cooling and battery life are paramount. Its IGP classification and portable device dependent outputs mean it is designed to be integrated directly into a system rather than installed as a discrete card. The 2:1 FP16 ratio (10.65 TFLOPS) suggests some optimization for workloads that can leverage half-precision, potentially offering better efficiency in those specific tasks. The A570M’s lower clock speeds (900 MHz base, 1300 MHz boost) and smaller memory (8 GB, 224.0 GB/s) are acceptable for less demanding applications, and its aggregate score of 58239 shows it can hold its own in general-purpose benchmarks.

In summary, the V710 is the compute king, and the A570M is the efficiency champion. The data does not support the A570M winning any raw performance test, but its design goals are entirely different, targeting a segment where the V710 cannot compete due to power and form factor.
