Intel Arc A570M vs NVIDIA Rubin GPU Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between the Intel Arc A570M and the NVIDIA Rubin GPU. The Intel part is a mobile graphics solution with a single recorded OpenCL benchmark score, while the NVIDIA part is a server-class compute module with no benchmark entries in the database. Consequently, the "wins" split is entirely one-sided based on available measurements.

The Intel Arc A570M wins the only benchmark category that has recorded data. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database. That score positions it within a tight cluster of competing desktop and workstation parts. The nearest rival, the AMD Radeon PRO V710, scores 58,657, which is 0.7% higher. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58,528, a 0.5% advantage. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58,392, leading by 0.3%. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM trails at 58,085, which is 0.3% behind the Arc part.

The NVIDIA Rubin GPU has zero benchmark scores recorded. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it has no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile rank sits at 50, the median, which reflects the absence of measured data rather than a performance assessment. Therefore, in terms of measurable benchmark wins, the Intel Arc A570M is the sole victor.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are impossible because the database contains no overlapping test results. The only benchmark entry belongs to the Intel Arc A570M. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 is the sole data point available for performance comparison.

The nearest rival data for the Arc A570M provides context for its standing. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, a high-end desktop part, averages 58,392, which is 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58,085, which is 0.3% lower. The NVIDIA P102-100, a compute-oriented card, averages 58,528, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon PRO V710, a workstation GPU, averages 58,657, 0.7% higher. These deltas indicate that the Arc A570M is competitive with a broad range of established GPUs, landing within a narrow performance window.

For the NVIDIA Rubin GPU, the database lists no benchmarks and no rivals. Its avgBenchmarkScore is 0, and its percentileVsAllGpus is 50. This means there is no quantitative basis to assert any performance relationship between the two parts. The Rubin GPU's absence from the benchmark database does not indicate inferiority; it indicates a lack of recorded measurements.

The wins tally reflects this data gap: winsA is 0 and winsB is 0. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. The only meaningful comparison is the Arc A570M's absolute score against its own rival set, not against the Rubin GPU.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every recorded specification. The Intel Arc A570M uses a DG2-256 chip, while the NVIDIA Rubin GPU uses a GR100 chip. The Arc A570M is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC; the Rubin GPU uses a 3 nm process at the same foundry.

Transistor counts differ dramatically. The Arc A570M has 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die. The Rubin GPU has 336,000 million transistors on a 1456 mm² die. Transistor density is 42.8M per mm² for Intel and 230.8M per mm² for NVIDIA.

Clock speeds also diverge. The Arc A570M has a base clock of 900 MHz and a boost clock of 1300 MHz. The Rubin GPU has a base clock of 700 MHz and a boost clock of 2267 MHz. Memory clocks are 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) for Intel and 2695 MHz (10.8 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA.

Memory capacity and type are entirely different. The Arc A570M has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Rubin GPU has 288 GB of HBM4 on a 16384-bit bus with 22.1 TB/s bandwidth.

Compute unit counts differ. The Arc A570M has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Rubin GPU has 28672 shading units, 896 TMUs, and 24 ROPs. The Arc A570M has 16 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The Rubin GPU has no listed RT cores and 896 tensor cores.

Pixel and texture rates are inverted. The Arc A570M achieves 83.20 GPixel/s and 166.4 GTexel/s. The Rubin GPU achieves 54.41 GPixel/s and 2,031.2 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 5.325 TFLOPS for Intel and 130.0 TFLOPS for NVIDIA. FP16 is 10.65 TFLOPS for Intel and 260.0 TFLOPS for NVIDIA.

Power and physical specifications differ. The Arc A570M has a TDP of 75 W and is an IGP slot width. The Rubin GPU has a TDP of 2300 W and is an SXM Module. The Arc A570M uses PCIe 4.0 x8; the Rubin GPU uses PCIe 6.0 x16. Display outputs are portable-device dependent for Intel and absent for NVIDIA.

Release dates are distinct. The Arc A570M launched on 2023-07-31. The Rubin GPU launched on 2025-12-31. The Rubin GPU's predecessor is listed as Server Blackwell; the Arc A570M has no listed predecessor or successor.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. The Intel Arc A570M uses the Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist generation, specifically the Arc 5 Mobile line. The NVIDIA Rubin GPU uses the Rubin architecture from the Server Rubin (Rxx) generation.

The process nodes reflect a generational gap. Intel uses a 6 nm TSMC process. NVIDIA uses a 3 nm TSMC process. The transistor density difference, 42.8M per mm² versus 230.8M per mm², indicates a much denser design for the Rubin GPU.

Core organization differs. The Arc A570M has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, with 16 dedicated ray tracing cores. The Rubin GPU has 28672 shading units and 896 TMUs, but only 24 ROPs. The Rubin GPU lists 896 tensor cores and no ray tracing core count. The Intel part has no tensor cores.

The memory architectures are distinct. Intel uses GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus. NVIDIA uses HBM4 on a 16384-bit bus. The bandwidth gap, 224.0 GB/s versus 22.1 TB/s, is a direct consequence of the bus width and memory type.

API support is a major differentiator. The Arc A570M is a fully featured graphics product with DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Rubin GPU lists N/A for all three APIs, indicating it is not designed for conventional graphics rendering workloads.

The physical form factors align with their intended uses. The Arc A570M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with portable-device-dependent outputs. The Rubin GPU is an SXM Module with no display outputs, designed for server installation.

Power delivery requirements underscore the divide. The Arc A570M needs 75 W. The Rubin GPU needs 2300 W and a suggested 2700 W power supply. The Rubin GPU's PCIe 6.0 x16 interface is newer than the Arc A570M's PCIe 4.0 x8.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation of roles. The Intel Arc A570M is a mobile graphics processor with a single measured benchmark score of 58,239 on Geekbench OpenCL. That score places it in the 88th percentile and within 0.7% of four rival GPUs, ranging from the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT to the AMD Radeon PRO V710. It delivers 5.325 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, and fits within a 75 W power envelope. It is a capable part for portable devices requiring standard graphics APIs and moderate compute.

The NVIDIA Rubin GPU is a server compute module with no benchmark data. It has 28672 shading units, 896 tensor cores, and 130.0 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Its 288 GB of HBM4 memory on a 16384-bit bus provides 22.1 TB/s of bandwidth. It requires 2300 W and is housed in an SXM Module with no display outputs. It does not support DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan. The absence of benchmark scores and nearest rivals in the database means its performance relative to other GPUs cannot be quantified from recorded measurements.

Selection between the two should follow the recorded specifications. The Intel Arc A570M is for systems that need a graphics output, standard API support, and low power draw. The NVIDIA Rubin GPU is for server deployments that require massive memory bandwidth, high FP32 throughput, and tensor core acceleration, with no need for display output or graphics APIs. The benchmark data confirms the Arc A570M's competitive standing in its class, while the Rubin GPU's capabilities are defined entirely by its specifications, not by measured results.
