Intel Arc A570M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

Intel Arc A570M and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti occupy vastly different tiers of the hardware spectrum, and the recorded data reflects that chasm clearly. The Arc A570M is a mobile-focused, low-power integrated graphics part from Intel's Alchemist generation, while the RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end, dual-slot desktop add-in board from NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace family. The benchmark results show a single head-to-head test, and the outcome is decisive in favor of NVIDIA, but the deeper comparison reveals fundamental architectural and positioning differences that go beyond raw score.

Where Each One Wins

The use-case split is almost binary based on the available data. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti wins the only direct comparison available, the Geekbench OpenCL test, with a score of 176,953 against Intel's 58,239, a delta of -67.1% for the Arc A570M. This single metric is a comprehensive compute workload, and the NVIDIA part dominates it overwhelmingly. For any scenario that relies on raw compute throughput, such as GPU-accelerated rendering, machine learning inference, or high-resolution gaming with heavy post-processing, the RTX 4070 Ti is the clear winner.

The Intel Arc A570M, conversely, does not win any benchmark in the head-to-head dataset. Its strength lies not in performance but in its physical and power profile. The data shows it is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 75 W TDP, meaning it occupies no expansion slot and requires no external power connectors. This makes it suitable for compact, power-efficient systems where the GPU is soldered to the motherboard or shares a die with the CPU. The RTX 4070 Ti, with a 285 W TDP and a dual-slot footprint, cannot operate in such constrained environments. So while the Intel part loses every performance test, it wins on integration and power envelope, a qualitative advantage not captured by the benchmark scores.

The percentile rankings further contextualize this. The Arc A570M sits at the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the RTX 4070 Ti is at the 84th percentile. This is a striking inversion, as the lower-performing part ranks higher. The explanation lies in the distribution of scores: the mobile Arc part's score of 58,239 is closer to the median of all recorded GPUs, while the RTX 4070 Ti's score of 176,953, though much higher, is part of a long tail of high-end parts that pull the percentile down. The data suggests the Arc A570M is a better-than-average performer for its class, while the RTX 4070 Ti, despite being elite, faces stiffer competition at its tier.

Architecture Differences

The two chips are built on different process nodes and architectures, which explains their performance disparity. The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip on TSMC's 6 nm process, implementing the Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist generation. It packs 11,500 million transistors into a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process, implementing the Ada Lovelace architecture. It contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, achieving a density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The RTX 4070 Ti is built on a newer, denser process, allowing it to fit over three times more transistors in a slightly larger die.

The compute resources diverge sharply. The Intel part has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, along with 16 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA part has 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, plus 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores. This means the RTX 4070 Ti has 3.75 times the shading units, 1.88 times the TMUs, and 1.25 times the ROPs, while also featuring dedicated tensor cores that the Intel part lacks. The FP32 throughput tells the story: 40.09 TFLOPS for NVIDIA versus 5.325 TFLOPS for Intel, a 7.5-fold difference. The FP16 performance is also notable, with NVIDIA achieving 40.09 TFLOPS at 1:1 ratio, while Intel reaches 10.65 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning the NVIDIA part offers both higher raw throughput and better precision flexibility.

Memory architecture further separates them. The Arc A570M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 4070 Ti uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s. The NVIDIA part has 50% more capacity and 2.25 times the bandwidth, which is critical for high-resolution textures and large datasets. Clock speeds also favor NVIDIA, with a base clock of 2310 MHz and boost of 2610 MHz versus Intel's 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost. Even the memory clock differs, with NVIDIA at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) versus Intel's 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective), though the bus width difference negates some of that advantage.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only recorded head-to-head benchmark is Geekbench OpenCL, and the result is lopsided. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti scores 176,953, while the Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239. The delta is -67.1%, meaning the Intel part delivers less than one-third of NVIDIA's compute performance. This is not a close contest; it is a generational and class-based gap. The RTX 4070 Ti's score is nearly triple that of the Arc A570M, and this single data point explains the product positioning.

Looking at the nearest rivals for each part provides context on how they compare to their own peers. The Arc A570M's closest competitor is the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, which scores 58,392, just 0.3% higher. The Intel part also sits near the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (58,085, 0.3% lower), the NVIDIA P102-100 (58,528, 0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (58,657, 0.7% higher). This cluster of scores around 58,000 to 58,600 shows that the Arc A570M is precisely in the middle of a performance band, not an outlier. It is competitive with last-generation high-end desktop parts in raw compute, despite being a low-power mobile IGP.

The RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals are all within a narrow band. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45,152, which is 0.8% lower than the 4070 Ti's average. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45,384, 1.3% lower, and the NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 44,075, 1.6% higher. The Intel Arc A730M scores 45,592, 1.7% lower. These deltas are all under 2%, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti's average benchmark score of 44,795 is tightly clustered with its rivals. This suggests that at the very top tier of GPUs, performance differences are marginal, and the 4070 Ti is not an outlier in either direction.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous for performance: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is in a completely different performance class. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 176,953 versus 58,239 for the Intel Arc A570M, a -67.1% delta. The RTX 4070 Ti has 3.75 times the shading units, 7.5 times the FP32 throughput, and 2.25 times the memory bandwidth. For anyone building a desktop system focused on high-end gaming, content creation, or compute workloads, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only choice based on these measurements. Its launch MSRP is 799 USD, though that is the only financial data point available.

The Intel Arc A570M is not a competitor in this space; it is a different product category. Its 75 W TDP, integrated form factor, and 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs make it a capable solution for thin-and-light laptops or embedded systems where the RTX 4070 Ti physically cannot fit. The data shows it holds its own against rivals like the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, scoring within 0.3% of that high-end desktop part, which is remarkable for a mobile IGP. However, it cannot match the RTX 4070 Ti in any metric that matters for raw performance.

The verdict is straightforward: choose the RTX 4070 Ti for uncompromising performance, and choose the Arc A570M for its power efficiency and integrated design. The benchmark data supports no other conclusion.
