Memory clocks also differ: the RX 9050 OEM operates at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the Arc B570 runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective.

The memory subsystem favors the Intel card heavily. The RX 9050 OEM has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, delivering 144.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc B570 has 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s. That is over 2.6 times the bandwidth from the database figures. The RX 9050 OEM uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc B570 uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Compute resources differ in scale. The RX 9050 OEM has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 16 RT cores. The Arc B570 has 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 18 RT cores. Pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s for AMD and 200.0 GPixel/s for Intel. Texture rate is 166.4 GTexel/s for AMD and 360.0 GTexel/s for Intel. FP32 throughput is 10.65 TFLOPS for AMD and 11.52 TFLOPS for Intel. FP16 differs by ratio: the AMD card delivers 10.65 TFLOPS at 1:1, while the Intel card delivers 23.04 TFLOPS at 2:1.

Power requirements are also distinct. The RX 9050 OEM carries a TDP of 92 W with a suggested PSU of 250 W. The Arc B570 has a TDP of 150 W and a suggested PSU of 450 W. Both use a single 8-pin power connector and dual-slot cooling.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B570 wins on nearly every measurable specification. It has more memory capacity (10 GB vs 4 GB), wider memory bus (160-bit vs 64-bit), higher bandwidth (380.0 GB/s vs 144.0 GB/s), more shading units (2304 vs 1024), more TMUs (144 vs 64), more ROPs (80 vs 64), more RT cores (18 vs 16), higher pixel rate (200.0 GPixel/s vs 166.4 GPixel/s), higher texture rate (360.0 GTexel/s vs 166.4 GTexel/s), higher FP32 throughput (11.52 TFLOPS vs 10.65 TFLOPS), and much higher FP16 throughput (23.04 TFLOPS vs 10.65 TFLOPS). The Arc B570 also has a higher base clock (2500 MHz vs 1330 MHz) and a higher average benchmark score (20556 vs 0).

The AMD Radeon RX 9050 OEM wins on process efficiency and interface. It uses a newer 4 nm node versus 5 nm, has a higher transistor density (149.2M / mm² vs 72.1M / mm²), and a lower TDP (92 W vs 150 W) with a lower suggested PSU (250 W vs 450 W). The RX 9050 OEM also uses PCIe 5.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8, which provides a newer bus interface. Its boost clock is higher (2600 MHz vs 2500 MHz), and it has a game clock of 1920 MHz that the Intel card lacks entirely.

The database shows no benchmark wins for either card in a head-to-head table, since no paired tests exist. However, from the recorded specifications, the Arc B570 is the performance-oriented choice across compute, memory, and rendering metrics. The RX 9050 OEM is the efficiency-oriented choice, with lower power draw and a smaller die size despite its higher transistor density.

The Verdict

The database shows a clear split between these two cards. The Intel Arc B570 is the measured performer, with an average benchmark score of 20556, a 65th percentile placement, and substantial leads in memory capacity, bandwidth, shader count, texture rate, pixel rate, FP32, and FP16 throughput. It also has a higher boost clock in practice (2500 MHz flat) and more RT cores. Its 10 GB memory buffer and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth place it well ahead of the RX 9050 OEM in any memory-bound workload.

The AMD Radeon RX 9050 OEM is the efficiency-focused entry. Its 92 W TDP and 250 W suggested PSU are significantly lower than the Intel card's 150 W and 450 W figures. It uses a smaller die (199 mm²), a newer 4 nm process, and a higher transistor density. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface is a generation newer than the Arc B570's PCIe 4.0 x8. These traits suit systems where power draw and thermal footprint are primary constraints.

For users who need raw rendering and compute performance, the recorded data points to the Arc B570. For users who prioritize low power consumption and a compact, dense chip, the RX 9050 OEM has the specification advantage. The absence of benchmark data for the RX 9050 OEM means no measured performance comparison is possible, so the Arc B570 stands as the only card in this comparison with verified results in the database.
