Intel Arc A570M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc A570M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE. The only recorded benchmark for the Arc A570M is a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239, placing it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The RTX 5090 SE has no recorded benchmark scores, and its average benchmark score sits at zero, placing it at the 50th percentile. This absence of overlapping measurements means a direct numeric comparison of application performance cannot be established from the recorded data.

What the data does show is where the Arc A570M stands relative to other GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT with an average score of 58,392, which is 0.3% higher than the Arc A570M. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58,528, a 0.5% advantage. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58,657, leading by 0.7%. On the lower side, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085, which is 0.3% behind the Arc A570M. These deltas are minimal, placing the Arc A570M within a tight cluster of GPUs that all deliver similar Geekbench OpenCL results.

For the RTX 5090 SE, the absence of benchmark entries in the database means no percentile comparison or rival analysis can be generated. The recorded data simply shows a placeholder score of zero, which does not reflect any measured performance. Until benchmark results are submitted, the RTX 5090 SE remains an unmeasured product in this database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and are built on distinct architectures. The Intel Arc A570M uses the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-256 chip, part of the Alchemist generation for Arc 5 Mobile. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip, belonging to the GeForce 50 series.

Manufacturing processes differ substantially. The Arc A570M is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die. The transistor density works out to 42.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The RTX 5090 SE uses a 5 nm process, also at TSMC, but packs 92,200 million transistors onto a 750 mm² die. That yields a density of 122.9 million transistors per square millimeter, roughly 2.9 times denser than the Intel part.

Memory configurations are far apart. The Arc A570M has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5090 SE comes with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 384-bit bus, achieving 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock for both is listed at 1750 MHz, but the effective data rates differ: 14 Gbps for the Arc A570M versus 28 Gbps for the RTX 5090 SE.

Compute resources show a similar divide. The Arc A570M has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 16 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5090 SE has 14,080 shading units, 440 TMUs, 160 ROPs, 110 RT cores, and 440 tensor cores. The Intel GPU has no listed tensor cores.

Clock speeds reflect the different design goals. The Arc A570M runs at a 900 MHz base clock and 1300 MHz boost clock. The RTX 5090 SE runs at 1740 MHz base and 2377 MHz boost. The resulting fill rates and compute throughput follow. The Arc A570M produces 83.20 GPixel/s pixel rate and 166.4 GTexel/s texture rate, with 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 and 10.65 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The RTX 5090 SE delivers 380.3 GPixel/s and 1,045.9 GTexel/s, with 66.94 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio).

Power and physical specifications also differ. The Arc A570M has a 75 W TDP and is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a slot width listed as IGP, meant for portable devices. The RTX 5090 SE has a 500 W TDP, is dual-slot, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and recommends a 900 W power supply. Its physical dimensions are 267 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

Bus interfaces and display outputs differ. The Arc A570M connects via PCIe 4.0 x8, and its display outputs are listed as portable device dependent. The RTX 5090 SE uses PCIe 5.0 x16 and offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The release timeline places the Arc A570M in mid-2023, while the RTX 5090 SE is dated later. The RTX 5090 SE lists the GeForce 40 series as its predecessor and the GeForce 60 series as its successor.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Arc A570M has a measurable benchmark score while the RTX 5090 SE does not. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the Arc A570M scores 58,239 and ranks in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database. This places it in a competitive position near GPUs like the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and the NVIDIA P102-100, both of which score within 0.5% to 0.7% above it.

The Arc A570M also shows a clear advantage in power efficiency. At 75 W TDP, it consumes a fraction of the power of the RTX 5090 SE, which lists a 500 W TDP. The Intel part is designed as an integrated GPU for portable devices, meaning it can fit into thin and light systems without a separate power connector. The RTX 5090 SE requires a 16-pin connector and a 900 W power supply, making it a desktop-only proposition.

The RTX 5090 SE wins on raw specification counts across every compute metric in the database. It has roughly 6.9 times the shading units, 3.4 times the TMUs, 2.5 times the ROPs, and 6.9 times the RT cores of the Arc A570M. Its FP32 throughput of 66.94 TFLOPS is about 12.6 times higher than the Arc A570M's 5.325 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth is about 6 times higher, and memory capacity is 3 times higher. It also supports a faster PCIe interface (5.0 x16 versus 4.0 x8) and offers fixed display outputs rather than dependent ones.

The RTX 5090 SE also has tensor cores (440 of them), which the Arc A570M does not list. This suggests support for workloads that rely on tensor operations, though no benchmark data confirms actual performance. The RTX 5090 SE uses newer GDDR7 memory, while the Arc A570M uses GDDR6. The RTX 5090 SE also has a higher transistor density and a newer architecture generation.

For use cases, the data points in two directions. The Arc A570M is the only one with a verified benchmark score, so any comparison of measured application performance currently favors the Intel part by default. The RTX 5090 SE, however, holds overwhelming advantages in every hardware specification that typically correlates with high-end graphics workloads, such as 4K gaming, ray tracing, and compute-heavy tasks. Its 24 GB memory capacity and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth are suited for large datasets and high-resolution textures, while its 110 RT cores and 440 tensor cores target ray-traced rendering and AI-accelerated workloads.

The Verdict

The data presents an unusual situation. The Intel Arc A570M has a recorded Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 and an 88th percentile ranking, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE has no recorded benchmark scores at all. For anyone relying on the database to compare actual performance, the Arc A570M is the only GPU of the two with verified results.

That said, the specification sheet for the RTX 5090 SE is dramatically more capable. Every major compute resource is multiple times larger: shading units, TMUs, ROPs, RT cores, tensor cores, memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and clock speeds. The RTX 5090 SE delivers 66.94 TFLOPS FP32 versus 5.325 TFLOPS for the Arc A570M. It has 24 GB of GDDR7 memory versus 8 GB of GDDR6. Its 1.34 TB/s bandwidth dwarfs the 224.0 GB/s of the Intel part.

The Arc A570M wins on power draw and form factor. At 75 W and integrated into portable devices, it suits mobile computing where battery life and thermals matter. The RTX 5090 SE demands 500 W, a 900 W power supply, and a dual-slot chassis. These are entirely different product categories.

For portable systems or low-power builds, the Arc A570M is the only viable choice given the data. It has a measurable benchmark score and sits close to much more expensive discrete GPUs from the previous generation. For high-end desktop workloads where maximum compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and ray tracing hardware are required, the RTX 5090 SE is the clear choice based on specifications, though its actual benchmark performance remains unmeasured in the database.

The launch MSRP for the RTX 5090 SE is 1,499 USD. The Arc A570M has no launch MSRP listed.
