Intel Arc A570M vs Intel Arc B770 Comparison

Intel Arc A570M and Intel Arc B770 represent two distinct generations of Intel's discrete GPU efforts, with the A570M belonging to the Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile) lineup and the B770 to the Battlemage (Arc 7) series. The database records a single benchmark score for the A570M, while the B770 currently has no recorded benchmark entries, so the comparison relies on architectural specifications and the limited performance data available.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only recorded performance measurement in the database is for the Intel Arc A570M, which scores 58239 points in the Geekbench OpenCL test. This places the A570M at the 88th percentile among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms 88 percent of the database's tracked graphics cards. The nearest rivals in the database illustrate the competitive positioning: the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58392, which is 0.3 percent higher, and the NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58528, a 0.5 percent advantage. On the other side, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58085, which is 0.3 percent lower, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, a 0.7 percent gap. These narrow margins place the A570M in a tight cluster of GPUs with similar OpenCL performance.

The Intel Arc B770 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, so a direct head-to-head comparison of measured performance is not possible. The B770's percentile ranking is listed as 50, and its average benchmark score is 0, reflecting the absence of test data. The A570M, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 58239, which serves as its sole recorded measurement. The B770's nearest rivals list is empty, while the A570M has four tracked competitors, all within 0.7 percent of its score.

The lack of B770 benchmark data means the recorded measurements cannot confirm which GPU is faster. The A570M's solitary score indicates that it competes at a level equivalent to high-end desktop GPUs from the previous generation, such as the RX 6950 XT, but the B770's theoretical specifications suggest a different performance class entirely. The database shows no wins for either GPU in head-to-head tests, as no direct comparison tests are recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs belong to different architecture generations. The Intel Arc A570M is based on the DG2-256 chip using the Xe-HPG architecture, within the Alchemist generation for Arc 5 Mobile. The Intel Arc B770 uses the BMG-G31 chip with the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage Arc 7 generation. This generational shift brings substantial changes to the underlying design.

The manufacturing process differs as well. The A570M is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with a transistor count of 11,500 million on a 269 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 42.8M per mm². The B770 is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 368 mm², though its transistor count is listed as unknown in the database. The larger die on a more advanced process node suggests a significantly more complex chip.

Core counts scale considerably between the two. The A570M contains 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 16 ray tracing cores. The B770 doubles these figures: 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, 128 raster output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The B770 also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, whereas the A570M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The B770's predecessor is listed as Alchemist, which is the architecture generation of the A570M, confirming the direct lineage between the two. The B770 has a release date of 2025-12-31, while the A570M was released on 2023-07-31.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Arc A570M is a mobile-focused GPU with a recorded OpenCL score of 58239, placing it at the 88th percentile and within 0.7 percent of several high-end desktop rivals. Its performance profile is established and competitive within its measured category. The Intel Arc B770, however, has no benchmark data, so its actual performance cannot be verified from the database.

The A570M's specifications point to a low-power design with a 75 W TDP and an IGP slot width, suggesting integration into portable systems. The B770, with a 225 W TDP and dual-slot form factor, is positioned as a higher-end desktop part with significantly larger memory capacity and bandwidth. The B770 doubles the A570M's shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and ray tracing cores, and it offers 512.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth versus 224.0 GB/s.

Based on the recorded data, the B770's theoretical specifications are substantially higher than the A570M's, but the absence of benchmark scores prevents any verified performance claim. Users relying on the database should note that the A570M has a measurable performance record, while the B770 does not yet have one. The A570M is the only one of the two with confirmed performance data, and it competes closely with the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and NVIDIA P102-100. The B770 remains unmeasured.

Specification Differences

The Intel Arc A570M and Intel Arc B770 differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The A570M uses the DG2-256 chip with Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist generation, while the B770 uses the BMG-G31 chip with Xe2-HPG architecture from the Battlemage generation. The process node shifts from 6 nm on the A570M to 5 nm on the B770, both at TSMC. Die size increases from 269 mm² to 368 mm², though transistor counts are 11,500 million for the A570M and unknown for the B770.

Clock speeds differ notably: the A570M has a base clock of 900 MHz and a boost clock of 1300 MHz, while the B770 has a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Memory clocks also differ, with the A570M at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) and the B770 at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). Memory capacity doubles from 8 GB to 16 GB, the bus width doubles from 128 bit to 256 bit, and bandwidth increases from 224.0 GB/s to 512.0 GB/s.

Compute resources scale by a factor of two: shading units go from 2048 to 4096, TMUs from 128 to 256, ROPs from 64 to 128, and ray tracing cores from 16 to 32. Pixel rate rises from 83.20 GPixel/s to 307.2 GPixel/s, texture rate from 166.4 GTexel/s to 614.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance from 5.325 TFLOPS to 19.66 TFLOPS. FP16 performance increases from 10.65 TFLOPS to 39.32 TFLOPS, both at a 2:1 ratio.

Power and physical characteristics diverge sharply. The A570M has a 75 W TDP and an IGP slot width, while the B770 has a 225 W TDP, a dual-slot width, power connectors of 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin, and a suggested PSU of 550 W. The bus interface moves from PCIe 4.0 x8 on the A570M to PCIe 4.0 x16 on the B770. Display outputs are listed as portable device dependent for the A570M, while the B770 has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. The A570M's production status is active, while the B770's is not recorded, and the release dates are 2023-07-31 and 2025-12-31 respectively.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A570M wins in the category of verified performance data. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239 places it at the 88th percentile, and it has four recorded nearest rivals, all within 0.7 percent of its score. This makes it a measurable, competitive option in the database's records. Its low 75 W TDP and IGP slot width also indicate suitability for compact or mobile systems where power draw is a limiting factor.

The Intel Arc B770 wins on raw specification counts. It offers double the shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and ray tracing cores of the A570M. Its FP32 throughput of 19.66 TFLOPS is more than triple the A570M's 5.325 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s is more than double the A570M's 224.0 GB/s, and its 16 GB capacity doubles the 8 GB available on the A570M. The B770 also has a higher boost clock at 2400 MHz versus 1300 MHz, and a larger die at 368 mm² versus 269 mm².

For workloads that depend on memory bandwidth, such as high-resolution textures or large datasets, the B770's 512.0 GB/s and 16 GB capacity provide a clear theoretical advantage. For ray tracing workloads, the B770's 32 RT cores double the A570M's 16. The B770's pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s far exceed the A570M's 83.20 GPixel/s and 166.4 GTexel/s, suggesting advantages in fill-rate-bound scenarios. The A570M, however, remains the only one of the two with a recorded performance score, so its measured standing in the database is the only confirmed result. The B770's wins are purely specification-based, with no benchmark confirmation available.
