Intel Arc A570M vs NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains one direct benchmark comparison between these two mobile graphics solutions, and it is decisively one-sided. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile scores 105,307 points, while the Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239 points. This represents an 80.8% advantage for the NVIDIA part, a substantial margin that places the two products in entirely different performance strata.

To contextualize this result, the database shows that the RTX A4500 Mobile sits at the 93rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 91,134 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rivals in the database include the desktop NVIDIA RTX A4500, which averages 91,671 points (a 0.6% difference, with the mobile part trailing by that small margin), and the AMD Radeon Instinct MI60 at 92,466 points (1.4% ahead of the mobile A4500). The mobile part also leads the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 by 4.2% (87,445 points) and the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 by 4.6% (87,108 points). This clustering indicates that the A4500 Mobile performs essentially at the level of a mid-to-high-end workstation desktop GPU from a generation or two ago, despite its mobile form factor.

The Intel Arc A570M, by contrast, records an 88th percentile standing among all GPUs, with its average score of 58,239 coming solely from that single OpenCL run. Its nearest rivals in the database are strikingly close: the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58,392 points (the Arc trails by 0.3%), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58,085 points (the Arc leads by 0.3%), the NVIDIA P102-100 averages 58,528 points (the Arc trails by 0.5%), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 averages 58,657 points (the Arc trails by 0.7%). This tight grouping around the 58,000-point mark suggests that the A570M delivers performance comparable to a range of desktop GPUs from several generations and market segments, but it remains far below the absolute performance tier occupied by the A4500 Mobile.

The head-to-head delta of 80.8% is not a marginal victory but a fundamental gap. In practical terms, the RTX A4500 Mobile completes the same OpenCL workload in roughly 55% of the time required by the Arc A570M, assuming linear scaling. This is the kind of difference that separates a professional-grade compute solution from a mainstream mobile graphics part.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear hierarchy. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile is the superior performer by a wide margin, with 80.8% higher OpenCL score, a 93rd percentile ranking versus 88th, and a 32,895-point advantage in average benchmark score (91,134 versus 58,239). Users whose workloads are dominated by OpenCL compute, such as rendering, simulation, or data processing, should select the RTX A4500 Mobile without hesitation. The benchmark results indicate that this part operates in a different league, comparable to desktop workstation GPUs like the RTX A4500 and Radeon Instinct MI60.

The Intel Arc A570M, however, is not without merit. Its 88th percentile standing means it outperforms the vast majority of GPUs in the database, and its nearest rivals include the RX 6950 XT, a former flagship-class desktop part. The A570M also carries a far lower power envelope (75 W versus 140 W), which may make it suitable for thinner, lighter laptops where thermal and battery constraints are paramount. Users who prioritize portability and efficiency over raw compute throughput may find the A570M adequate, but they should expect roughly 45% of the RTX A4500 Mobile's OpenCL performance.

There is no benchmark in the database where the Arc A570M wins. The head-to-head record is 1 win for NVIDIA, 0 for Intel. The verdict is therefore straightforward: for maximum performance, choose the RTX A4500 Mobile; for lower power consumption and a more compact implementation, the Arc A570M is the only option between the two, but it sacrifices a massive amount of compute capability.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ substantially across nearly every specification category in the database.

Memory configuration is a major divergence. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile ships with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Arc A570M has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 224.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA part has double the capacity, double the bus width, and 2.29 times the bandwidth.

Compute resources also differ sharply. The RTX A4500 Mobile contains 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The Arc A570M has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The NVIDIA part offers 2.88 times the shading units, 1.44 times the TMUs, and 1.5 times the ROPs.

Clock speeds favor NVIDIA as well. The RTX A4500 Mobile has a base clock of 930 MHz and a boost clock of 1500 MHz, while the Arc A570M runs at 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost. Memory clocks are 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA versus 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) for Intel.

Power consumption is a notable contrast. The RTX A4500 Mobile has a TDP of 140 W, while the Arc A570M is rated at 75 W. This makes the Intel part significantly more power-efficient in absolute terms, though at a large performance cost.

The bus interface differs: PCIe 4.0 x16 for NVIDIA, PCIe 4.0 x8 for Intel. The RTX A4500 Mobile uses no power connectors (portable device dependent), while the Arc A570M's power connector specification is not recorded. The Arc A570M is designated as an IGP (integrated graphics processor) in terms of slot width, whereas the NVIDIA part has no slot width recorded.

Production status and release dates also differ. The RTX A4500 Mobile is end-of-life, released on 2022-03-21, with a predecessor of Quadro Turing-M and a successor of Ada-MW. The Arc A570M is active, released on 2023-07-31, with no recorded predecessor or successor.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different architectural lineages.

The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile is built on the GA104 chip, using the Ampere architecture from the Ampere-MW (Ax000) generation. It is fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung, with 17,400 million transistors on a 392 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 44.4M per mm². The architecture includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores, the latter being absent from the Intel specification entirely. The FP32 throughput is 17.66 TFLOPS, with FP16 rated at 17.66 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). Pixel rate is 144.0 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 276.0 GTexel/s.

The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip, based on the Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist (Arc 5 Mobile) generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 42.8M per mm². The architecture includes 16 ray tracing cores but no tensor cores. FP32 throughput is 5.325 TFLOPS, while FP16 is 10.65 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio). Pixel rate is 83.20 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 166.4 GTexel/s.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and both have display outputs marked as portable device dependent. The process node difference (8 nm Samsung versus 6 nm TSMC) gives Intel a manufacturing advantage in theory, but the NVIDIA part's larger die and higher transistor count deliver far more raw compute capability.

The FP16 ratio difference is notable: NVIDIA offers 1:1 FP16 performance relative to FP32, while Intel offers 2:1 (FP16 at twice the rate of FP32). This means the Intel architecture is optimized for workloads that can use reduced precision, but in absolute terms, the NVIDIA part's FP16 output (17.66 TFLOPS) still exceeds the Intel part's (10.65 TFLOPS).

Where Each One Wins

The bench data records a single win category: Geekbench OpenCL, which goes to the NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile. There is no recorded benchmark where the Intel Arc A570M wins. Therefore, the use-case split must be inferred from the specification and performance differences.

The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile wins in every performance-oriented scenario. Its 80.8% OpenCL advantage, 16 GB of memory, 512.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 17.66 TFLOPS of FP32 compute make it the clear choice for compute-heavy professional workloads: 3D rendering, scientific simulation, video encoding, machine learning inference (via its 184 tensor cores), and any task that saturates memory bandwidth. The 93rd percentile ranking confirms that this part competes with desktop workstation GPUs, not just mobile parts.

The Intel Arc A570M wins in efficiency and integration scenarios. Its 75 W TDP is nearly half the NVIDIA part's 140 W, making it suitable for thinner laptops with smaller cooling solutions and batteries. The 6 nm TSMC process node is more advanced than the 8 nm Samsung node, which contributes to this efficiency. The 88th percentile ranking still places it above most GPUs, and its proximity to the RX 6950 XT (within 0.3%) indicates it can handle mainstream gaming and general-purpose graphics tasks competently. The 2:1 FP16 ratio may also benefit workloads that use half-precision arithmetic, though the absolute FP16 throughput remains lower than the NVIDIA part.

In summary: the RTX A4500 Mobile is the winner for absolute performance, professional compute, and memory-intensive tasks. The Arc A570M is the winner for power-constrained mobile designs, efficiency, and scenarios where 75 W is the maximum allowable draw. The database contains no test where the Arc A570M outperforms the RTX A4500 Mobile, so any decision favoring Intel must be based on non-performance criteria such as power, size, or availability.
