Intel Arc A570M vs Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for these two Intel graphics parts is asymmetric. The Intel Arc A570M has a single benchmark entry in the database, while the Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores recorded at all. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible at present. The only measurable performance figure available is the Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239 for the Arc A570M, which places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the Arc A570M, the score of 58239 puts it in a tightly contested cluster. It trails the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT by only 0.3%, as that card scores 58392. Against the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, the Arc A570M is ahead by 0.3%, with that rival scoring 58085. The NVIDIA P102-100 sits 0.5% higher at 58528, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 0.7% ahead at 58657. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, indicating the Arc A570M operates in a performance band where small variations define its ranking.

The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has a percentile rank of 50, but with an average benchmark score of zero and no rivals listed, the database treats it as an unmeasured part. This does not mean it lacks performance capability. It means the data collection has not yet produced a score for it. The architecture and specifications suggest it is a much smaller part, but without measured results, any head-to-head analysis must rely on the available data for the Arc A570M and the architectural characteristics of both parts.

What the data does show is that the Arc A570M, despite being a mobile integrated graphics solution, lands in the upper tier of the database. The 88th percentile placement is a strong signal. The nearest rivals are all discrete desktop or workstation cards, and the Arc A570M holds its own within 0.7% of all of them. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile, by contrast, has no measured data to place it. The 50th percentile rank appears to be a placeholder value rather than a result from testing.

The Verdict

From the data alone, the Intel Arc A570M is the only part with a verified performance score. Its Geekbench OpenCL result of 58239 places it in the 88th percentile, and the nearest rival comparisons show it trading blows with the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, NVIDIA P102-100, and AMD Radeon PRO V710. Those are all discrete GPUs, which means the Arc A570M, as an integrated part, delivers a level of compute performance that competes with standalone graphics cards from the previous generation.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 and average score of zero are not measurements. They reflect an absence of data. For anyone choosing between these two based strictly on recorded results, the Arc A570M is the defensible pick because it has a measured score. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile cannot be ranked against it numerically.

The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile is listed with a release date of 2026-04-15, which is later than the Arc A570M release date of 2023-07-31. This means the newer part has not yet been tested in the database, or the testing results have not been published. The Arc A570M has had time to accumulate a score. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has not.

For the user who needs a known quantity, the Arc A570M is the only option with empirical support. For the user who is considering the newer integrated part, the data is silent. The verdict from the database is clear: the Arc A570M is the measured performer, and the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile remains an unknown until a score is recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different Intel GPU families. The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip, built on the Xe-HPG architecture, and belongs to the Alchemist generation under the Arc 5 Mobile series. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 11,500 million transistors packed into a 269 mm² die. That works out to a transistor density of 42.8 million per square millimeter.

The Intel Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip, built on the Xe3-LPG architecture, and belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Wildcat Lake) generation. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown in the database. The process node is a substantial difference: 6 nm for the older part versus 3 nm for the newer one.

The compute resources are starkly different. The Arc A570M has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units. It also carries 16 ray tracing cores. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has only 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, with 2 ray tracing cores. That is one eighth of the shading units and one eighth of the TMUs, with one eighth of the ROPs as well.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The Arc A570M has a base clock of 900 MHz and a boost clock of 1300 MHz. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. The newer part boosts to nearly double the frequency of the older part, although it starts at a much lower base. The higher boost helps offset the smaller compute footprint, but not fully.

Memory configurations differ fundamentally. The Arc A570M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz and 14 Gbps effective data rate. This yields a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile uses system shared memory, with type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. This means the newer part relies on the host system's memory rather than dedicated VRAM.

The power envelopes are also distinct. The Arc A570M has a TDP of 75 W, while the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has a TDP of 25 W. Both are listed as integrated graphics parts with an IGP slot width, but the power draw difference is substantial. The Arc A570M has no power connectors listed, while the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile explicitly lists none.

The bus interfaces differ as well. The Arc A570M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile is listed as IGP, meaning it connects through the integrated graphics path rather than a discrete PCIe slot.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so the API feature set is identical.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A570M wins in every category where the database has recorded data. It has a measured benchmark score of 58239, placing it in the 88th percentile. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has no score. The Arc A570M also wins on raw compute resources: 2048 shading units versus 256, 128 TMUs versus 16, 64 ROPs versus 8, and 16 ray tracing cores versus 2.

The Arc A570M delivers 5.325 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, whereas the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile delivers 1,280.0 GFLOPS of FP32 compute. The pixel rate for the Arc A570M is 83.20 GPixel/s, versus 20.00 GPixel/s for the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile. The texture rate is 166.4 GTexel/s for the Arc A570M, versus 40.00 GTexel/s for the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile. In every throughput metric, the Arc A570M is ahead.

The Arc A570M also has dedicated 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a fixed bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile relies on system shared memory, so its bandwidth is variable and dependent on the host platform.

The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile wins on process node and power efficiency. It uses a 3 nm Intel process versus the 6 nm TSMC process of the Arc A570M. Its TDP is 25 W versus 75 W, meaning it draws one third of the power. Its boost clock of 2500 MHz is almost double the 1300 MHz boost of the Arc A570M. These are architectural advantages, but they do not translate into a measured performance win in the database.

The Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile also has a later release date of 2026-04-15, compared to the Arc A570M release date of 2023-07-31. The newer part has not been benchmarked yet, so its performance potential remains unverified.

For use cases that require raw compute throughput, dedicated memory bandwidth, and a large shading unit count, the Arc A570M is the clear winner based on the recorded data. For use cases that require minimal power draw and the latest process technology, the Arc Graphics 2 Xe Mobile has the architectural edge, but no measured performance to confirm it.
