Intel Arc A310E vs Intel Arc B570 Comparison

The Intel Arc A310E and Intel Arc B570 are two Intel discrete GPUs separated by a full architecture generation. The A310E belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation and uses Xe-HPG, while the B570 belongs to the Battlemage (Arc 5) generation and uses Xe2-HPG. The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pair, and the A310E has no benchmark scores; all measured performance data in this comparison comes from the B570.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

With no head-to-head entries, the win counters for both products remain at 0. The A310E's benchmark list is empty, its average benchmark score is 0, and it has no nearest rivals. The B570, in contrast, has ten recorded benchmark scores and an average of 20556, placing it at the 65th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest recorded rivals are the Intel Arc A750 with an average score of 20582 and a delta of -0.1%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with 20534 and +0.1%, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M with 20480 and +0.4%, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X with 20662 and -0.5%.

The B570's individual scores include Geekbench Vulkan at 96844, Geekbench OpenCL at 83514, Passmark G3D at 14195, Passmark GPU Compute at 7281, Passmark G2D at 661, Passmark DirectX 9 at 164, Passmark DirectX 11 at 118, Passmark DirectX 12 at 72, Passmark DirectX 10 at 65, and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 2649. The highest recorded score is Geekbench Vulkan, and the lowest is Passmark DirectX 10. Since no A310E scores exist, the database shows no measured benchmark win for the A310E in this pairing.

Architecture Differences

The A310E uses the DG2-128 chip on the Xe-HPG architecture, while the B570 uses BMG-G21 on Xe2-HPG. The generations differ: Alchemist (Arc 3) versus Battlemage (Arc 5). The A310E is produced on a 6 nm TSMC process, with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die at a density of 45.9M / mm². The B570 is produced on a 5 nm TSMC process, with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die at a density of 72.1M / mm². The A310E's listed successor is Battlemage, which is the B570's generation; the B570's predecessor is Alchemist, which is the A310E's generation. The A310E is end-of-life, while the B570 is active. Both use PCIe 4.0 x8, and both expose DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Clocks also move upward. The A310E runs at 2000 MHz base and boost, while the B570 runs at 2500 MHz base and boost. Memory clock rises from 1937 MHz, 15.5 Gbps effective, to 2375 MHz, 19 Gbps effective. The A310E has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus for 124.0 GB/s; the B570 has 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus for 380.0 GB/s.

Execution resources scale sharply. The A310E has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 RT cores. The B570 has 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 18 RT cores. Pixel rate rises from 32.00 GPixel/s to 200.0 GPixel/s, texture rate from 64.00 GTexel/s to 360.0 GTexel/s, FP32 from 3.072 TFLOPS to 11.52 TFLOPS, and FP16 from 6.144 TFLOPS (2:1) to 23.04 TFLOPS (2:1).

Where Each One Wins

On measured performance, the B570 is the only part with data. It holds the entire recorded benchmark set, and its average score and percentile are the only ones available. In specification terms, the B570 also leads every compute and memory metric: shading units, TMUs, ROPs, RT cores, FP32, FP16, pixel rate, texture rate, memory size, bus width, and bandwidth.

The A310E has no benchmark wins in the database, but it leads in installation-related specifications. Its TDP is 75 W versus 150 W, it needs no power connector versus a 1x 8-pin connector, its suggested PSU is 250 W versus 450 W, and it is single-slot versus dual-slot. Its dimensions are 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, while the B570 is 272 mm by 115 mm with no width recorded. The A310E uses four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs; the B570 uses one HDMI 2.1a and three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. For a system with tight clearance and a low power budget, the A310E's physical and power profile is the clear advantage. For any workload that depends on measured 3D performance, the B570's recorded scores and larger memory subsystem are the differentiators.

The Verdict

The recorded data assigns the performance role to the B570. It is the only part in this pair with benchmark scores, sits at the 65th percentile of all GPUs, and carries a 20556 average score. Its nearest rival, the Intel Arc A750, is only 0.1% ahead, which places the B570 in the same performance band as that card. The B570 also leads in memory capacity, bandwidth, and raw compute specifications.

The A310E is the low-power, small-footprint alternative: 75 W, no power connector, 250 W suggested PSU, single-slot, and 168 mm length. For a user choosing strictly from the database, the B570 is the part for measured 3D performance, while the A310E is the part for constrained power and space budgets. The A310E's actual benchmark position remains unmeasured in the database.
