GPU Comparison

The Intel Arc A570M and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER occupy entirely different segments of the GPU market, and the recorded data makes the gap unambiguous. The A570M is a 75 W integrated-class mobile part built on Intel's Xe-HPG architecture, while the RTX 4070 SUPER is a dual-slot desktop card drawing 220 W through a 16-pin connector. In the one direct head-to-head benchmark in the database, Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4070 SUPER leads by 66.3%. What follows is a field-by-field breakdown of where each design sits and what the numbers say about them.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 SUPER wins the only shared benchmark outright. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 172795 towers over the A570M's 58239, a 66.3% advantage in the head-to-head data. Every recorded metric points the same direction: 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute against 5.325 TFLOPS, 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth against 224.0 GB/s, and 7168 shading units against 2048. For any workload that scales with raw parallelism, the 4070 SUPER is the only choice between these two.

The A570M's wins are structural rather than performance-based. Its 75 W TDP makes it viable in thin mobile platforms where a 220 W desktop card is physically impossible, and its IGP form factor requires no slot at all versus the 4070 SUPER's dual-slot, 267 mm-long footprint. It also sits at the 88th percentile versus all GPUs in the database, higher than the 4070 SUPER's 83rd percentile, though those percentile figures come from different scoring populations and should not be read as a direct comparison. Within its own measured cohort, the A570M clusters tightly against the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (0.3% ahead), the RX 5600 OEM (0.3% ahead of it), the NVIDIA P102-100 (0.5% behind), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (0.7% behind).

Architecture Differences

These are two fundamentally different silicon strategies produced by the same foundry, TSMC, on different nodes. The Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 die on Xe-HPG (Alchemist, Arc 5 Mobile) at 6 nm, packing 11,500 million transistors into 269 mm² for a density of 42.8M per mm². The RTX 4070 SUPER uses the AD104 die on Ada Lovelace (GeForce 40) at 5 nm, with 35,800 million transistors across 294 mm² and a much higher density of 121.8M per mm².

The resource gap is stark. The 4070 SUPER carries 7168 shading units, 224 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 56 RT cores, and 224 tensor cores. The A570M has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 16 RT cores, with no discrete tensor cores recorded. Clocking reflects the node and power envelope difference: the A570M runs a 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost, while the 4070 SUPER runs 1980 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost.

Memory subsystems diverge just as sharply. The A570M pairs 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 14 Gbps effective for 224.0 GB/s. The 4070 SUPER pairs 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus at 21 Gbps effective for 504.2 GB/s, more than double the capacity and bandwidth. Interface differs too: PCIe 4.0 x8 for the A570M versus PCIe 4.0 x16 for the 4070 SUPER. FP16 behavior differs philosophically, with the A570M achieving 10.65 TFLOPS at a 2:1 rate while the 4070 SUPER matches its FP32 output at 1:1 (35.48 TFLOPS). Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is a wash.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Only one test appears in the database for both cards: Geekbench OpenCL. The RTX 4070 SUPER posted 172795 to the A570M's 58239, a delta of 66.3% in NVIDIA's favor, giving the 4070 SUPER a clean 1-0 win record in direct comparison.

Context from each card's wider results reinforces that gap. The 4070 SUPER's recorded portfolio includes a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627, a Geekbench Vulkan score of 205624, a PassMark G3D score of 29995, and a PassMark GPU Compute score of 17108, plus PassMark DirectX results spanning 110 (DX12) to 344 (DX9). The A570M has a single OpenCL entry, so no secondary cross-check exists.

The performance story is one-directional, but the products are not direct competitors. The A570M delivers its 58239 OpenCL score inside a 75 W, connector-free mobile envelope, competitive with dedicated desktop-class rivals like the RX 6950 XT in its measured cohort. The 4070 SUPER delivers nearly triple that compute throughput in exchange for a 220 W budget, a dual-slot chassis, and a 16-pin power connection. Buyers choosing between them are really choosing between a mobile integrated solution and a full desktop discrete card, and on pure throughput the recorded data leaves no ambiguity: the RTX 4070 SUPER wins every measurable contest the database contains.
