Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the Intel Arc B770 has no listed benchmark scores in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile has eight recorded benchmarks. The Arc B770's average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile versus all GPUs sits at 50. The RTX 3050 A Mobile, by contrast, holds a percentile of 44 across all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 8746.

Given that the Arc B770 has zero recorded benchmark entries, the comparison of direct performance wins cannot be established from measured results. The RTX 3050 A Mobile, however, shows a clear distribution of scores across different test types. Its strongest result appears in Passmark DirectX 9 at 152 points, followed by Passmark DirectX 11 at 94 points, Passmark DirectX 10 at 61 points, and Passmark DirectX 12 at 55 points. The Geekbench OpenCL score reaches 52998, while Passmark G3D records 11664 and Passmark GPU Compute records 4419. The Passmark G2D score is 526.

The absence of benchmark data for the Arc B770 means that the database currently cannot confirm any workload category where it wins. The RTX 3050 A Mobile, in contrast, demonstrates measurable results across legacy DirectX APIs, compute workloads, and general 3D rendering. The data indicates that the RTX 3050 A Mobile is the only one of the two with verified performance records in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, different foundries, and different architectural generations. The Intel Arc B770 uses the BMG-G31 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile uses the GA106 chip based on the Ampere architecture, part of the GeForce 30 Mobile generation, and is fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung.

Transistor counts differ significantly in the recorded data. The RTX 3050 A Mobile contains 12,000 million transistors on a die size of 276 mm², which yields a transistor density of 43.5 million per square millimeter. The Arc B770's transistor count is listed as unknown, though its die size is recorded at 368 mm².

The compute configurations diverge sharply. The Arc B770 has 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 raster output units. It includes 32 ray tracing cores. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has 1792 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with 14 ray tracing cores and 56 tensor cores. The Arc B770 lists no tensor core count in the database.

Memory architectures are also distinct. The Arc B770 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256 bit bus, yielding 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 3050 A Mobile uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus, yielding 192.0 GB/s. Clock behavior differs as well: the Arc B770 runs at a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost of 2400 MHz, with memory at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The RTX 3050 A Mobile runs at a base of 1065 MHz and a boost of 1343 MHz, with memory at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective).

Pixel and texture throughput show the scale of the gap. The Arc B770 records 307.2 GPixel/s and 614.4 GTexel/s. The RTX 3050 A Mobile records 42.98 GPixel/s and 75.21 GTexel/s. Floating point performance follows the same pattern: the Arc B770 delivers 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 and 39.32 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The RTX 3050 A Mobile delivers 4.813 TFLOPS FP32 and 4.813 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio).

Power and physical design differ by product class. The Arc B770 carries a TDP of 225 W, uses a dual-slot cooler, and requires one 6-pin plus one 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 550 W. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has a TDP of 45 W, uses an integrated form factor (IGP), requires no power connectors, and uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Its display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, while the Arc B770 offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Arc B770's predecessor is Alchemist; the RTX 3050 A Mobile's predecessor is GeForce 20 Mobile. The RTX 3050 A Mobile is marked end-of-life in production status, while the Arc B770's production status is not recorded.

The Verdict

The database contains no benchmark results for the Intel Arc B770. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals listed. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has a full set of recorded benchmarks, an average score of 8746, and a percentile of 44, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 v2 at 8743 (0% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 at 8686 (0.7% delta), the AMD Radeon R9 M265X at 8851 (-1.2% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 at 8863 (-1.3% delta).

From a purely data-driven standpoint, the RTX 3050 A Mobile is the only GPU in this pair with verifiable performance in the database. Its scores place it within 1.3% of the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 and within 1.2% of the AMD Radeon R9 M265X, while sitting essentially level with the GTX 460 v2 and slightly ahead of the Quadro P2200. The Arc B770's architecture suggests substantially higher theoretical throughput, but the database records no measured confirmation.

The recorded specifications indicate that the Arc B770 targets a desktop segment with high power draw, a dual-slot cooler, and external power connectors. The RTX 3050 A Mobile targets the mobile segment with a 45 W TDP and no external power requirement. The choice between them, based strictly on recorded data, depends on whether measured results exist: the RTX 3050 A Mobile has them, the Arc B770 does not.

The RTX 3050 A Mobile's Passmark G3D score of 11664 and Passmark GPU Compute score of 4419 are the most substantial 3D and compute results recorded. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 52998 confirms compute capability in a cross-platform test. The legacy DirectX results are lower in absolute terms: 152 in DirectX 9, 94 in DirectX 11, 61 in DirectX 10, and 55 in DirectX 12. The G2D score of 526 indicates 2D performance.

The Arc B770 has no benchmark entries, no head-to-head results, no wins recorded, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile of 50 stands against the RTX 3050 A Mobile's percentile of 44, but percentile without measured scores does not establish relative performance.

The strongest available comparison comes from the RTX 3050 A Mobile's nearest rivals. Its average score of 8746 places it 0% from the GTX 460 v2 at 8743, 0.7% above the Quadro P2200 at 8686, 1.2% below the R9 M265X at 8851, and 1.3% below the Radeon Pro WX 5100 at 8863. These deltas show a tightly clustered performance band around the RTX 3050 A Mobile, indicating that its recorded performance is competitive with those specific GPUs, but no direct measurement against the Arc B770 exists.
