Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent distinct architectural generations from their respective manufacturers. The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, specifically the Battlemage generation (Arc 5 series), using the BMG-G21 chip. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB203 chip, belonging to the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation.

Both GPUs are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the similarities end there. The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs 45,600 million transistors onto a 378 mm² die, achieving 120.6M per mm². The NVIDIA part has more than double the transistor count and a substantially higher density.

The compute resources differ dramatically. The Arc B570 has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, and 18 ray tracing cores. The RTX PRO 4500 has 10496 shading units, 328 TMUs, 112 ROPs, and 82 RT cores. The NVIDIA part also includes 328 tensor cores, a feature type that is listed as null for the Intel part.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The Arc B570 uses 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus with a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. The RTX PRO 4500 uses 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 800.3 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock rates also differ: the Intel card runs at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective), while the NVIDIA card runs at 1563 MHz (25 Gbps effective).

The Intel part has a base and boost clock of 2500 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a 1215 MHz base clock and a 2415 MHz boost clock. The Intel card's fixed clock rate contrasts with the NVIDIA card's wider gap between base and boost.

Rasterization and texture throughput figures reflect the core count differences. The Arc B570 delivers 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 360.0 GTexel/s texture rate. The RTX PRO 4500 delivers 270.5 GPixel/s and 792.1 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA part is 35% faster in pixel throughput and 120% faster in texture throughput.

The NVIDIA card supports PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The NVIDIA part is single-slot with a 16-pin power connector, whereas the Intel part is dual-slot with a single 8-pin connector. Both list a suggested PSU of 450 W, and their TDP figures are 165 W for NVIDIA and 150 W for Intel.

The Intel card has display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1a, 3x DisplayPort 2.1), while the NVIDIA server card has no display outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The benchmark data supports only one direction. The Intel Arc B570 has a complete set of recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 20556, and a percentile rank of 65 among all GPUs. Its performance cluster includes the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile and Intel Arc A750, with all four nearest rivals falling within 0.5% of its average score.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server has no recorded benchmarks, an average score of 0, and a percentile rank of 50. The database contains no measurements that demonstrate its performance in any test.

For any analysis requiring measured performance data, the Intel Arc B570 is the only option with evidence. Its average benchmark score of 20556 places it just above the RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, 0.1% behind) and just below the Arc A750 (20582, 0.1% ahead). The spread across its four nearest rivals is only 0.9 percentage points, indicating that the Arc B570 sits in a tightly contested performance band.

The RTX PRO 4500's data sheet shows substantially larger compute resources and memory capacity, but none of that is validated by benchmark results. The database records no wins for either GPU in head-to-head comparisons, and the win counters for both are 0. The recorded data cannot support a performance claim for the NVIDIA part.

Buyers seeking a GPU with confirmed benchmark results should select the Intel Arc B570. Buyers requiring a server card with no display outputs and a single-slot form factor have only the NVIDIA option on specification grounds, but they should note that no benchmark data exists to verify its performance.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs. The Intel Arc B570 has ten individual benchmark scores, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 has none. Direct comparison of measured performance is therefore impossible.

The Intel Arc B570's individual scores show its performance profile across different test types. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2649. Geekbench results are 83514 for OpenCL and 96844 for Vulkan. Passmark scores include 65 for DirectX 10, 118 for DirectX 11, 72 for DirectX 12, 164 for DirectX 9, 661 for G2D, 14195 for G3D, and 7281 for GPU compute.

The Passmark G3D score of 14195 is the highest individual result, indicating strong DirectX 11-era rasterization performance. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 96844 is the highest overall, suggesting robust cross-platform compute and graphics throughput. The Passmark DirectX 9 score of 164 and DirectX 10 score of 65 are comparatively low, reflecting the architecture's focus on modern APIs.

The average benchmark score of 20556 combines these results into a single figure. The percentile rank of 65 means the Arc B570 sits above the median GPU in the database. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, scores 20534, a 0.1% difference. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, also a 0.1% difference in the opposite direction. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% behind the B570, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% ahead.

These narrow margins indicate that the Arc B570 performs within a tight band around its immediate competitors. The 0.1% gap to the RTX 3070 Mobile and the 0.1% gap to the Arc A750 are effectively negligible. The larger gaps, 0.4% to the Quadro M4000M and 0.5% to the R9 M390X, still represent minimal real-world differences.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 has no scores to analyze. Its percentile rank of 50 is the default value for a GPU with no recorded benchmarks. The win counters for both GPUs are 0, and the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. The data cannot confirm any performance advantage for the NVIDIA part, despite its larger specification sheet. The Intel Arc B570 remains the only GPU in this comparison with measured results.
