Intel Arc B570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison scenario: the Intel Arc B570 has a full suite of benchmark results, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB currently has no benchmark scores listed in the database. This means the head-to-head comparison must be approached through the available aggregate data and architectural specifications rather than direct test scores.

The Intel Arc B570 posts an average benchmark score of 20,556 across its ten recorded tests. This places it at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate rankings are tightly clustered: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20,534, a delta of just 0.1% behind the Arc B570; the Intel Arc A750 scores 20,582, a delta of -0.1% ahead; the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20,480, a delta of 0.4% behind; and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20,662, a delta of -0.5% ahead. The Arc B570 sits effectively in the middle of this group, within a margin that indicates near-identical aggregate performance among these four products.

The RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB has an average benchmark score of 0 and no recorded percentile, as no tests have been logged for it. The database shows its percentile versus all GPUs as 50, which is the default placeholder value used when no measured data exists. Consequently, the data cannot establish any direct head-to-head score comparisons between these two cards. The Intel Arc B570's individual test results provide the only concrete benchmark numbers available. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2,649. In Geekbench, it records 83,514 for OpenCL and 96,844 for Vulkan. The Passmark suite shows 65 for DirectX 10, 118 for DirectX 11, 72 for DirectX 12, 164 for DirectX 9, 661 for G2D, 14,195 for G3D, and 7,281 for GPU Compute.

Where Each One Wins

With no benchmark data for the RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB, the wins analysis relies on the Intel Arc B570's recorded performance and the architectural capabilities of both cards. The Arc B570 demonstrates its strongest relative performance in the Passmark G3D test with a score of 14,195, which represents the highest single-test value in its benchmark suite. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 96,844 exceeds its OpenCL score of 83,514 by 13,330 points, indicating a meaningful advantage in Vulkan workloads over OpenCL within the Arc B570's own results.

The RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB, by contrast, has no recorded wins in any test because no measurements exist. The data does not permit a determination of which card wins in any specific workload category. The Arc B570's DirectX results show a pattern where DirectX 11 scores highest at 118, followed by DirectX 9 at 164, DirectX 12 at 72, and DirectX 10 at 65. The Passmark G2D score of 661 indicates a baseline 2D performance level that is substantially lower than the G3D score of 14,195, a typical relationship for dedicated GPUs.

Architecture Differences

The two cards differ fundamentally in their underlying architectures. The Intel Arc B570 uses the BMG-G21 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage generation under the Arc 5 naming. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, containing 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB uses the GB206 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, belonging to the GeForce 50-series and GeForce 50 Mobile generation. It is also fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but contains 21,900 million transistors on a smaller 181 mm² die, resulting in a higher transistor density of 121.0 million per mm². The RTX 5070 Mobile packs more transistors into less area, a meaningful density advantage.

Memory architectures differ substantially. The Arc B570 uses 10 GB of GDDR6 across a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Mobile uses 12 GB of GDDR7 across a 192-bit bus, delivering 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card offers 2 GB more capacity and 196 GB/s more bandwidth. Memory clocks also differ: the Arc B570 runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed, while the RTX 5070 Mobile runs at 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective speed, meaning the RTX card achieves higher bandwidth through a wider bus and faster effective data rate despite a lower physical clock.

Compute unit configurations show clear differences. The Arc B570 has 2,304 shading units, 144 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 18 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5070 Mobile has 4,608 shading units, exactly double the Arc B570, plus 144 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 36 ray tracing cores, and 144 tensor cores. The Arc B570 has no tensor cores listed. Pixel rates differ: the Arc B570 produces 200.0 GPixel/s while the RTX 5070 Mobile produces 68.40 GPixel/s. Texture rates also differ: the Arc B570 produces 360.0 GTexel/s versus 205.2 GTexel/s for the RTX card. FP32 throughput is 11.52 TFLOPS for the Arc B570 and 13.13 TFLOPS for the RTX 5070 Mobile. FP16 throughput is 23.04 TFLOPS for the Arc B570 at a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 5070 Mobile delivers 13.13 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, meaning the Arc B570 actually doubles its FP32 rate for FP16 while the NVIDIA card does not.

Power and physical characteristics diverge sharply. The Arc B570 has a TDP of 150 W, is a dual-slot card requiring a 1x 8-pin power connector, and lists a suggested PSU of 450 W. The RTX 5070 Mobile has a TDP of 50 W, is classified as IGP (integrated graphics processor), requires no power connectors, and lists no suggested PSU. The Arc B570 measures 272 mm in length and 115 mm in height, while the RTX 5070 Mobile has no recorded dimensions. The Arc B570 uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while the RTX 5070 Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs differ: the Arc B570 provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the RTX 5070 Mobile's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on use case and form factor. The Intel Arc B570 is a discrete, dual-slot desktop card with a 150 W TDP, requiring external power and a 450 W PSU. Its benchmark results place it at the 65th percentile, with aggregate performance nearly identical to the RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc A750, Quadro M4000M, and R9 M390X. The Arc B570 delivers higher pixel rates, higher texture rates, and double the FP16 throughput compared to the RTX 5070 Mobile, along with more ROPs and a larger physical footprint.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile 12 GB is an integrated-class mobile GPU with a 50 W TDP and no power connectors. It offers double the shading units, double the ray tracing cores, tensor cores that the Arc B570 lacks, more memory capacity, a wider memory bus, and higher bandwidth. Its transistor density is nearly 68% higher than the Arc B570, and it uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface versus PCIe 4.0 x8. However, no benchmark scores exist for the RTX 5070 Mobile, so its actual measured performance cannot be verified against the Arc B570's recorded results.

From the data, the Arc B570 is the appropriate choice for scenarios requiring a discrete desktop card with established, measured performance in the database. The RTX 5070 Mobile is the appropriate choice for mobile or integrated implementations where power draw, physical size, and connector requirements are constrained, and where the architectural advantages in shading units, ray tracing, tensor cores, and memory bandwidth can be leveraged. The absence of benchmark data for the RTX 5070 Mobile means any performance comparison between the two is based on specifications rather than measured results.
