Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent different architectural generations and design philosophies. The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip based on Xe-HPG architecture, designated for the Alchemist generation within the Arc 5 Mobile lineup. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, containing 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die. The transistor density measures 42.8M per mm².

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER uses the GB203 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, belonging to the GeForce 50 generation and the GeForce 50-series family. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, containing 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die. The transistor density measures 120.6M per mm², which is substantially higher.

Core configuration differences are significant. The Intel GPU has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. It has no dedicated tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA GPU has 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, 112 ROPs, 84 ray tracing cores, and 336 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part offers more than five times the shading units and more than five times the ray tracing cores.

Clock behavior also differs. The Intel Arc A570M runs at a 900 MHz base clock and 1300 MHz boost clock, with memory at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER runs at a 2295 MHz base clock and 2617 MHz boost clock, with memory at 2000 MHz (32 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA GPU operates at roughly double the clock speeds.

Memory architecture differs in type, capacity, and bandwidth. The Intel GPU uses 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 224.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA GPU uses 24 GB GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 1.02 TB/s. The NVIDIA part provides triple the capacity and roughly 4.5 times the bandwidth.

The form factor and interface also differ. The Intel Arc A570M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a slot width of IGP, using PCIe 4.0 x8. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER is a dual-slot discrete card measuring 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, using PCIe 5.0 x16 and requiring a 1x 16-pin power connector.

Display outputs differ as well. The Intel GPU's display outputs are portable device dependent, while the NVIDIA GPU offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one benchmark entry for each GPU, but they use different test suites, so direct comparison requires careful interpretation. The Intel Arc A570M was tested with Geekbench OpenCL, scoring 58239. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER was tested with 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, scoring 3075.

The Intel Arc A570M's average benchmark score of 58239 places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, which scores 58392 and is 0.3% faster, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, which scores 58085 and is 0.3% slower. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58528, 0.5% faster, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, 0.7% faster. The data shows the Intel Arc A570M performs very close to these rivals, within a narrow band of less than one percent in either direction.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 3075 places it at the 19th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro P1000, which scores 3163 and is 2.8% faster, and the Intel Arc Pro B60, which scores 3182 and is 3.4% faster. The NVIDIA GeForce 820A scores 2983, 3.1% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M scores 2967, 3.6% slower. The recorded data indicates the RTX 5080 SUPER is positioned among much lower-performing GPUs in this particular benchmark.

The percentile difference is stark. The Intel Arc A570M ranks in the top 12% of all GPUs, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER ranks in the bottom 20%. This suggests the test workloads differ substantially in how they exercise the hardware. The Geekbench OpenCL test appears to favor the Intel architecture's compute characteristics, while the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test appears to place the NVIDIA GPU in a lower relative standing.

However, the raw throughput figures show a different story. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER delivers 56.28 TFLOPS FP32, compared to 5.325 TFLOPS for the Intel Arc A570M. The pixel rate for the NVIDIA GPU is 293.1 GPixel/s versus 83.20 GPixel/s for the Intel GPU. The texture rate for the NVIDIA GPU is 879.3 GTexel/s versus 166.4 GTexel/s for the Intel GPU. These figures indicate the NVIDIA part has far greater theoretical compute and rasterization capacity.

The memory bandwidth difference reinforces this. The NVIDIA GPU's 1.02 TB/s bandwidth is roughly 4.5 times the Intel GPU's 224.0 GB/s. The FP16 throughput also favors the NVIDIA GPU: 56.28 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, versus 10.65 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio for the Intel GPU.

The benchmark scores and the compute specifications appear to be in tension. The Intel Arc A570M achieves a high percentile and a high absolute score in Geekbench OpenCL, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER achieves a low percentile and a low absolute score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries where both GPUs ran the same test, so no direct win/loss tally exists. The winsA and winsB counts are both zero.

The Verdict

The data presents two GPUs with opposite performance profiles depending on the metric used. The Intel Arc A570M achieves a strong 88th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of 58239 in Geekbench OpenCL, placing it alongside the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM within a one percent margin. This indicates solid compute performance in that workload.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER achieves a 19th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of 3075 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it near the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 and Intel Arc Pro B60. This indicates a low relative standing in that particular test, despite its much larger compute specifications.

For users prioritizing the benchmark results recorded in the database, the Intel Arc A570M shows a far higher overall percentile and a higher absolute score in its test. However, the theoretical specifications strongly favor the NVIDIA GPU: it has more than ten times the FP32 throughput, more than five times the shading units, more than three times the memory bandwidth, and a much larger memory capacity of 24 GB.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER also offers features the Intel GPU lacks, including 336 tensor cores, a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and a 16-pin power connector. Its physical dimensions and dual-slot form factor indicate a high-end discrete card, while the Intel GPU is an integrated processor with no discrete dimensions listed.

The release dates differ by roughly two and a half years, with the Intel GPU launching on 2023-07-31 and the NVIDIA GPU on 2025-12-31. The NVIDIA GPU has a launch MSRP of 999 USD, while the Intel GPU has no listed launch MSRP.

The choice between these two GPUs depends on workload compatibility. The Intel Arc A570M demonstrates strong OpenCL compute performance and a high percentile ranking, making it suitable for applications that leverage that API. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER delivers vastly higher raw throughput, more memory, and a newer architecture, which may benefit workloads that scale with those resources despite its low score in the Steel Nomad DX12 test.

The database records no head-to-head benchmarks, so no direct comparison exists. Users should weigh the recorded benchmark scores against the specification sheet, as the two tell different stories. The Intel GPU wins on percentile standing and Geekbench score; the NVIDIA GPU wins on nearly every specification field.
