Intel Arc B570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single direct comparison between the Intel Arc B570 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this workload, the NVIDIA card records a score of 2690, while the Intel card posts 2649. That places the RTX 5070 SUPER ahead by 1.5 percent, a narrow margin that keeps both cards effectively in the same performance tier for this particular DX12 test.

For the Intel Arc B570, the average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 20556. Its nearest rival in the database is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which averages 20534, a difference of just 0.1 percent in favor of the Intel card. The Intel Arc A750 sits 0.1 percent behind the B570 with an average of 20582, making the two Intel parts nearly indistinguishable in aggregate performance. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M trails by 0.4 percent with an average of 20480, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5 percent behind at 20662. These deltas are small, indicating that the B570 occupies a dense cluster of mid-range performers rather than standing apart from them.

The RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, has only one benchmark entry in the database, so its average score equals its Steel Nomad result of 2690. Its nearest rivals are considerably lower-scoring parts. The NVIDIA Quadro K1100M averages 2664, 1 percent behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 averages 2662, 1.1 percent behind. The Intel Arc Pro B50 also averages 2660, 1.1 percent behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 averages 2645, 1.7 percent behind. The narrow deltas here are a direct consequence of the limited benchmark coverage for the RTX 5070 SUPER; with only one recorded test, its standing relative to the broader database is not yet firmly established. The Intel card, with ten recorded benchmarks, has a much richer performance profile.

Looking at the Intel card's individual results, the Geekbench Vulkan score of 96844 is its strongest compute result, while Geekbench OpenCL reaches 83514. PassMark G3D lands at 14195, and PassMark GPU Compute is 7281. The legacy DirectX tests show a wide spread: PassMark DirectX 9 scores 164, DirectX 11 scores 118, DirectX 10 scores 65, and DirectX 12 scores 72. The PassMark G2D result is 661. These figures illustrate how the B570 shifts performance depending on API generation, with newer compute workloads yielding far higher scores than older fixed-function tests.

The RTX 5070 SUPER has no such spread in the database, so any claim about its multi-API behavior would be unsupported. The only recorded data point is the Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which edges the B570's 2649 by a slim 1.5 percent. For a card with substantially larger memory, a wider bus, and more shading units, that margin is modest on this single test.

The percentile rankings differ sharply. The Intel Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms a clear majority of recorded graphics cards. The RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile, which reflects its sparse benchmark presence rather than its actual capabilities. A single test cannot place a card accurately in a percentile ranking, and the database currently lacks the additional data points needed to give the RTX 5070 SUPER a representative percentile.

The head-to-head table confirms that NVIDIA wins the only direct comparison, with a delta of -1.5 percent expressed from the Intel card's perspective. The Intel card's aggregate score of 20556, however, comes from a much broader set of workloads, so its average is more representative of everyday performance. The RTX 5070 SUPER's average of 2690 is not comparable to the Intel card's average because the two averages are computed over different test sets.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins the sole direct benchmark by 1.5 percent over the Intel Arc B570. That result favors NVIDIA in the Steel Nomad DX12 workload, but the margin is small enough that the two cards are effectively peers on that test. Anyone choosing based strictly on this one score would pick the RTX 5070 SUPER.

The Intel Arc B570, however, has far more benchmark coverage. Its ten recorded tests span compute, legacy DirectX, and modern APIs, and its average of 20556 places it among a tight group of mid-range rivals, all within 0.5 percent of each other. The RTX 5070 SUPER's nearest rivals in the database are low-end parts like the GT 1030 and GT 440, a byproduct of its single recorded score. The database data does not yet support a broader verdict for the RTX 5070 SUPER, because no other workloads have been measured for it.

For buyers evaluating the Intel Arc B570, the data shows a card that clusters with the RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc A750, Quadro M4000M, and R9 M390X in aggregate performance. The RTX 5070 SUPER, based on current records, is a faster card in the one test where both appear, but the B570's performance envelope is much better documented. The 65th percentile ranking for Intel versus the 18th percentile for NVIDIA should be read with caution: the former reflects a broad test set, the latter reflects a single test.

The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, yielding 672.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card also runs its memory at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, while the Intel card runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed.

Compute resources diverge sharply. The B570 has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The NVIDIA card also carries 50 ray tracing cores and 200 tensor cores, while the Intel card lists 18 ray tracing cores and no tensor core count in the database.

Clock speeds are close. The Intel card has a base and boost clock of 2500 MHz. The NVIDIA card has a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz. Despite similar clock speeds, the raw throughput figures favor NVIDIA heavily: the B570 delivers 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 and 23.04 TFLOPS FP16, while the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 and 32.15 TFLOPS FP16. The NVIDIA card's FP16 rate is 1:1 with FP32, whereas the Intel card's FP16 is 2:1.

Pixel and texture rates also differ. The Intel card posts 200.0 GPixel/s and 360.0 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card posts 201.0 GPixel/s and 502.4 GTexel/s. Power consumption is higher for NVIDIA at 275 W versus 150 W for Intel. The NVIDIA card uses a 16-pin power connector, the Intel card uses a single 8-pin. The Intel card lists a suggested PSU of 450 W; the NVIDIA card has no suggested PSU in the database.

Physical specifications differ as well. The Intel card is 272 mm long and 115 mm tall. The NVIDIA card is 245 mm long, 115 mm tall, and 40 mm wide. Both are dual-slot cards. The Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8; the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are similar but not identical: Intel offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while NVIDIA offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The Intel card's launch MSRP is 219 USD; the NVIDIA card has no launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, codenamed Battlemage, belonging to the Arc 5 generation. Its chip is the BMG-G21, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The die measures 272 mm² and contains 19,600 million transistors, for a transistor density of 72.1 million per mm². Its predecessor is Alchemist.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 series, with the GB205 chip. It is also fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The die measures 263 mm² and contains 31,100 million transistors, for a transistor density of 118.3 million per mm². No predecessor is listed for the NVIDIA card.

The transistor density gap is notable: NVIDIA packs 118.3 million transistors per mm² versus Intel's 72.1 million per mm², despite both using the same 5 nm process from the same foundry. That density advantage, combined with a larger transistor budget, underpins the NVIDIA card's much higher shading unit count and TFLOPS ratings.

API support is identical: both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Ray tracing hardware exists on both, but the RTX 5070 SUPER has 50 ray tracing cores against the B570's 18. Tensor cores are present only on the NVIDIA card in the database, with 200 units. The Intel card's tensor core field is null, so no comparison can be made there.

The memory architectures also reflect different design priorities. The Intel card uses GDDR6 with a 160-bit bus, while the NVIDIA card uses GDDR7 with a 192-bit bus. The GDDR7 memory runs at a lower base clock but a higher effective data rate, resulting in nearly double the bandwidth: 672.0 GB/s versus 380.0 GB/s.

The release dates place the Intel card earlier, with a recorded release date of 2025-01-15, while the NVIDIA card's release date is 2025-12-31. Both cards are marked as Active in production status. The Intel card's predecessor is Alchemist, while the NVIDIA card has no predecessor or successor listed in the database.
