Intel Arc A310E vs Intel Arc A570M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single benchmark result for the Intel Arc A570M, the Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 points. The Intel Arc A310E has no benchmark entries in the database, so a direct numerical comparison between the two cards cannot be established from measured data. The absence of any head-to-head benchmark entries for this pairing means the A310E offers no recorded wins, while the A570M holds the only measured score.

The A570M’s Geekbench OpenCL result places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which indicates a strong overall standing. The A310E sits at the 50th percentile, but that figure is derived from its position rather than from any submitted benchmark scores. The percentile gap of 38 points between the two cards suggests a substantial performance separation, though the A310E’s percentile is not backed by a concrete benchmark number.

The A570M’s nearest rivals in the database provide context for its score. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58,392 points, which is 0.3% higher than the A570M. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58,085 points, putting the A570M 0.3% ahead. The NVIDIA P102-100 averages 58,528 points, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 averages 58,657 points, 0.7% higher. These deltas are small, all within one percentage point, indicating the A570M performs in a tight competitive cluster around the 58,000 to 58,700 score range.

Because the A310E lacks any benchmark entries, the data cannot confirm how it would fare against the A570M in compute workloads. The specification sheet, however, shows a large gap in raw processing resources. The A570M has 2,048 shading units versus 768 on the A310E, a 2.67x difference. The A570M also has 128 texture mapping units versus 32, and 64 render output units versus 16. These differences in pixel and texture throughput align with the benchmark score gap, but without direct measurements, the exact performance delta remains unquantified.

Where Each One Wins

From the available data, the Intel Arc A570M wins in every measurable category because it is the only card with a benchmark score. The A570M’s Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 represents its recorded compute capability. The A310E has no wins in the database, and no head-to-head benchmarks exist for this pairing.

For use-case analysis, the A570M’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which supports larger textures and higher resolutions in graphics workloads. The A310E’s 4 GB GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus provides 124.0 GB/s, roughly half the bandwidth. The A570M’s FP32 throughput of 5.325 TFLOPS more than doubles the A310E’s 3.072 TFLOPS, which suggests a significant advantage in general-purpose compute tasks such as rendering, simulation, or data processing.

The A570M also carries 16 ray tracing cores versus 6 on the A310E, giving it a 2.67x advantage in ray tracing hardware. The A570M’s pixel rate of 83.20 GPixel/s and texture rate of 166.4 GTexel/s far exceed the A310E’s 32.00 GPixel/s and 64.00 GTexel/s. These figures point to the A570M being the stronger choice for rasterization-heavy workloads and for any application that relies on fill rate.

The A310E, however, has structural advantages that do not appear in benchmark scores. It is a single-slot card with no power connectors, a 75 W TDP, and a suggested power supply of 250 W. Its dimensions are 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, making it a compact add-in card. The A570M is marked as an IGP, or integrated graphics processor, with no slot width, power connectors, or dimensions listed, and it is described as portable device dependent for display outputs. The A310E’s 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs offer a fixed display configuration, while the A570M relies on the host device’s outputs.

The A310E also has a higher base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz, while the A570M runs at 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost. The A310E’s memory clock is 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective) versus the A570M’s 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These clock differences do not translate into higher performance because the A570M’s larger chip and wider memory bus compensate, but they do show the A310E’s design targets efficiency through higher clock speeds on a smaller die.

Architecture Differences

Both cards use Intel’s Xe-HPG architecture and are built on the same 6 nm process at TSMC, but they employ different chip configurations. The A310E uses the DG2-128 chip, while the A570M uses the DG2-256 chip. The DG2-128 has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. The DG2-256 has 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, with a density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The A570M’s chip is 71% larger in die area and holds 60% more transistors, though its density is slightly lower because of the larger scale.

The A310E belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation, while the A570M is listed as Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile). This generation labeling reflects their market tiers: the A310E targets entry-level discrete graphics, while the A570M is positioned for mobile integration. The A310E’s predecessor is Xe Graphics, and its successor is Battlemage, which places it in a product line that has evolved. The A570M has no predecessor or successor listed, indicating it may be a standalone mobile part.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The A310E uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, achieving 124.0 GB/s. The A570M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, achieving 224.0 GB/s. The A570M’s memory capacity is double, and its bandwidth is 80.6% higher. Both cards support the same API set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Neither card has tensor cores listed, so AI acceleration relies on the shading units and ray tracing hardware.

The compute unit counts scale with the chip size. The A570M has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 ray tracing cores. The A570M’s FP32 throughput is 5.325 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS on the A310E, and its FP16 throughput is 10.65 TFLOPS versus 6.144 TFLOPS, both at a 2:1 ratio. The A570M’s pixel rate is 83.20 GPixel/s versus 32.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 166.4 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s.

The A310E is a discrete card with a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, a 75 W TDP, and a single-slot form factor. The A570M is an IGP with the same PCIe 4.0 x8 interface and 75 W TDP, but it has no power connectors listed and no suggested PSU. The A570M’s display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning they vary by laptop or mobile platform, while the A310E offers four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 connections. The A310E’s production status is end-of-life, and its release date is March 31, 2024. The A570M’s production status is active, with a release date of July 31, 2023.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear performance hierarchy between these two Intel Arc parts, but the comparison is limited by the lack of benchmarks for the A310E. The A570M delivers a measured Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239, which places it in the 88th percentile and within 0.7% of its nearest rivals. The A310E has no recorded scores, so its actual performance cannot be validated against the A570M.

From the specification sheet, the A570M is the superior compute and graphics processor. It has more than double the shading units, ray tracing cores, texture units, and render output units. Its memory capacity and bandwidth are double that of the A310E, and its FP32 and FP16 throughput are significantly higher. For any workload that depends on raw processing power, fill rate, or memory bandwidth, the A570M is the stronger option.

The A310E, however, serves a different role. It is a compact, single-slot, end-of-life discrete card with a 75 W TDP, no power connectors, and a 250 W suggested PSU. Its fixed four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs make it suitable for multi-display setups where the host system cannot rely on integrated outputs. The A570M, as an IGP, is tied to a portable device’s design and cannot be installed as a standalone component.

Users with a desktop system that needs a low-profile, low-power add-in card with multiple display outputs would find the A310E appropriate based on its form factor and connector options. Users who prioritize compute performance and memory capacity, and who can use a mobile integrated GPU, would select the A570M based on its benchmark score and specifications. The production status also matters: the A310E is end-of-life, while the A570M is active, so the latter remains available in the current product cycle.
