Intel Arc A530M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database shows two GPUs that do not share a single common test, so the recorded wins are split strictly by which workloads each was measured under. The Intel Arc A530M holds wins in compute-oriented API benchmarks, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER holds wins in modern DirectX 12 rasterization tests. There are zero head-to-head benchmark entries, meaning no same-test comparison exists in the database; the analysis below relies on each product's own recorded scores and nearest rival deltas.

The Intel Arc A530M delivers its strongest showing in Geekbench OpenCL, scoring 49,735, and follows with 43,492 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its average benchmark score across recorded tests is 46,614. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has a single recorded benchmark: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, where it scores 6,269.5. The Intel part wins in every database test it appears in, simply because it has two tests and the NVIDIA part has one, but the two never meet.

The use-case split is therefore defined by the test categories themselves. OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, which span general compute, cross-vendor rendering, and compatibility-oriented applications, favor the Intel Arc A530M in the database. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, a pure DirectX 12 GPU workload, favors the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. Since no shared test exists, the data cannot declare an overall winner; it can only state where each product stands within its measured domain.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different generations, process nodes, and design philosophies. The Intel Arc A530M uses the DG2-256 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist generation (Arc 5 Mobile). It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, from the GeForce 50 generation. It is built on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC, with 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA chip packs roughly four times the transistors into a die that is only about 40% larger, giving it nearly three times the transistor density.

Core configuration differs dramatically. The Intel part has 1,536 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, 48 raster output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. It has no dedicated tensor cores listed in the database. The NVIDIA part has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 ray tracing cores, and 280 tensor cores. That is 5.8 times more shading units, 2.9 times more TMUs, and 5.8 times more ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA part also adds tensor cores, which the Intel part lacks entirely.

Clock speeds and compute rates follow the same pattern. The Intel Arc A530M runs at a 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at 2,295 MHz base and 2,452 MHz boost. The NVIDIA part's boost clock is nearly double the Intel part's. The resulting FP32 throughput is 3.994 TFLOPS for Intel versus 43.94 TFLOPS for NVIDIA, an 11x gap. FP16 throughput is 7.987 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) for Intel versus 43.94 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio) for NVIDIA. Pixel rate is 62.40 GPixel/s versus 235.4 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 124.8 GTexel/s versus 686.6 GTexel/s.

Memory architecture is also fundamentally different. The Intel Arc A530M has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth and memory clocked at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA part has double the capacity, double the bus width, and four times the bandwidth.

Power and physical design diverge as well. The Intel part is rated at 65 W TDP and is an IGP form factor with no power connectors listed, using a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The NVIDIA part is rated at 350 W TDP, is dual-slot, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and runs on PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the Intel part has "Portable Device Dependent" outputs, while the NVIDIA part has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the Intel Arc A530M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. There are no shared tests, no direct delta percentages, and no common workload where both scores exist. The only way to interpret performance is through each product's nearest rivals and its own percentile ranking.

The Intel Arc A530M sits at the 85th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 5600M with an average score of 46,601 and a delta of 0%, the AMD Radeon RX 6550M at 46,702 with a delta of -0.2%, the NVIDIA RTX A2000 at 46,043 with a delta of 1.2%, and the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation at 45,972 with a delta of 1.4%. The Intel part's average score of 46,614 is effectively tied with the RX 5600M, slightly behind the RX 6550M, and slightly ahead of both NVIDIA professional cards. The deltas are all within 1.4 percentage points, indicating that the Intel Arc A530M performs in a tight cluster with these four rivals.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with an average score of 6,270 and a delta of 0%, the NVIDIA Quadro K620 at 6,282 with a delta of -0.2%, the AMD FirePro W600 at 6,223 with a delta of 0.8%, and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 at 6,327 with a delta of -0.9%. The NVIDIA part's average score of 6,270 is effectively tied with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, slightly behind the Quadro K620 and Radeon R7 M350, and slightly ahead of the FirePro W600. Again, all deltas are within 0.9 percentage points.

The percentile gap is notable: the Intel part ranks at 85th percentile, while the NVIDIA part ranks at 36th percentile. This does not mean the Intel part is faster in absolute terms, because the two are measured on entirely different benchmark scales. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5 for NVIDIA is not comparable to a Geekbench score of 49,735 for Intel. The percentile figures reflect each product's standing within the full GPU database, not a direct comparison between the two.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the choice between the Intel Arc A530M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER depends entirely on the workload domain. The Intel Arc A530M is the only one of the two with recorded Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores, and it ranks at the 85th percentile overall. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only one with a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score, and it ranks at the 36th percentile overall.

For users whose workloads align with Geekbench OpenCL or Vulkan compute and rendering, the database shows the Intel Arc A530M delivering scores of 49,735 and 43,492, respectively. Its nearest rival cluster (RX 5600M, RX 6550M, RTX A2000, RTX 5880 Ada) is all within 1.4 percentage points, meaning the Intel part is competitively positioned in that segment. For users whose workloads align with 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers a score of 6,269.5, tied with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 and within 0.9 percentage points of its rival cluster.

The data does not support a blanket recommendation. The Intel part is a low-power (65 W), mobile-oriented IGP with 8 GB GDDR6 and a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The NVIDIA part is a high-power (350 W), dual-slot desktop card with 16 GB GDDR7 and a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. The physical and power requirements alone point to different system classes. The Intel Arc A530M fits portable, integrated scenarios; the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER fits desktop builds with substantial power delivery.

Neither product has a performance advantage over the other in the database, because no shared test exists. The verdict is that each product wins in its measured domain, and the database cannot rank one above the other without a common benchmark.
