Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs, and the Intel Arc Pro B70 has an empty benchmarks array. Therefore, all comparative analysis must rely on the AMD card's recorded scores and the specification data for both cards.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT has recorded scores across nine benchmark tests. Its highest single-test result is in Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 138383. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 46443. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields a score of 3316.

In the Passmark suite, the AMD card scores 22547 in G3D, 12912 in GPU Compute, 1161 in G2D, 294 in DirectX 9, 232 in DirectX 11, 119 in DirectX 10, and 79 in DirectX 12.

The nearest rivals in the database for the AMD card provide context for its standing. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile has an average score of 22435, which is 0.5% below AMD's 22549. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile scores 22729, 0.8% higher than AMD. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, 1.5% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 scores 22170, 1.7% lower.

These margins are tight. The AMD card sits within 1.5% of several established GPUs, indicating that its compute performance is competitive with a range of mid-range and older high-end cards.

For the Intel Arc Pro B70, the lack of benchmark data means no empirical wins can be attributed to it. Its specification sheet suggests strengths in memory capacity, fill rates, and clock speeds, but these are not validated by any recorded test scores in the database.

The FP32 discrepancy is the largest measured difference between the two cards. AMD's 35.17 TFLOPS is 53% higher than Intel's 22.94 TFLOPS. This is a substantial gap that would manifest in any FP32-bound workload.

The FP16 comparison flips in Intel's favor. Intel's 45.88 TFLOPS FP16 is 30% higher than AMD's 35.17 TFLOPS FP16. However, AMD's FP16 is at a 1:1 ratio, meaning it is equal to its FP32, while Intel achieves its higher FP16 through a 2:1 ratio that halves its FP32 throughput.

Memory bandwidth shows Intel with a 40.7% advantage at 608.0 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s. Memory capacity shows Intel with a 166.7% advantage at 32 GB versus 12 GB.

Pixel rate favors Intel by 46.8%, and texture rate favors Intel by 30.4%.

The Verdict

The data shows two GPUs with very different design priorities. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a tested, measured product with a substantial benchmark history. Its average score of 22549 and 67th percentile ranking place it in competitive territory with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile, RTX 4060 Mobile, RTX 2080, and AMD Radeon RX 5700, all within 1.7% of its average score.

The Intel Arc Pro B70 has no recorded benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is 0, and its percentile ranking is 50. This means the database cannot confirm any empirical performance level for this card. All analysis of the Intel card must be based on its specifications alone.

For users who prioritize FP32 compute throughput, the AMD card is the clear choice based on data. Its 35.17 TFLOPS is 53% higher than Intel's 22.94 TFLOPS. This advantage would matter in scientific computing, simulation, and traditional game rendering.

For users who prioritize memory capacity, the Intel card is the choice. Its 32 GB is nearly triple AMD's 12 GB, and its 608.0 GB/s bandwidth is 40% higher. This matters for workloads that need to hold large datasets in VRAM.

For users who prioritize fill-rate-bound rendering, the Intel card has the specification advantage with higher pixel and texture rates. Its 358.4 GPixel/s and 716.8 GTexel/s exceed AMD's figures by substantial margins.

The AMD card has more RT cores at 54 versus 32, which suggests a ray tracing advantage, though no ray tracing benchmark data is available to confirm this.

The launch MSRP values are 449 USD for AMD and 949 USD for Intel. The AMD card was released on 2023-09-05 and remains in active production. The Intel card has a release date of 2026-03-25, with production status listed as null in the database.

The absence of benchmark data for the Intel card means the verdict cannot favor it empirically. The AMD card has verified scores across multiple test suites, while the Intel card has none. Any purchase decision involving the Intel card would rely entirely on its specification sheet, which shows strengths in memory and fill rates but no measured confirmation of its performance.

The database indicates that the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a competitive mid-range card with an average score within 1.5% of several established NVIDIA and AMD models. The Intel Arc Pro B70 is a specification-heavy card without measured performance data, making its real-world behavior unknown within this database.
