Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for these two GPUs shows a stark contrast in positioning. The Intel Arc B770 is a desktop part built on the BMG-G31 chip, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is a laptop-oriented chip based on GB207. The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark runs between these two products, so the comparison relies on their recorded performance metrics, architectural specifications, and the nearest rival scores for the mobile part.

The RTX 5050 Mobile has two recorded benchmark results. In 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), it scores 2365. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 84171. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 43268. The Intel Arc B770 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. This absence of data makes a direct numerical comparison impossible. However, the percentile ranking offers context. The Arc B770 sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 5050 Mobile sits at the 83rd percentile. That 33 percentile gap is substantial and indicates that the mobile NVIDIA part occupies a significantly higher position in the overall performance distribution.

The RTX 5050 Mobile's nearest rivals further clarify its standing. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB holds an average score of 43262, a delta of 0 percent. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 averages 43301, a delta of -0.1 percent, meaning the RTX 5050 Mobile is marginally behind that specific variant. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER averages 43223, a delta of 0.1 percent, placing the mobile 5050 slightly ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile averages 43667, a delta of -0.9 percent, so the 5050 Mobile trails the 4090 Mobile by just under one percent in average score. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating that the RTX 5050 Mobile performs at a level comparable to these established desktop and high-end mobile parts, despite its modest 50 W TDP.

The compute throughput numbers favor the Intel card heavily. The Arc B770 delivers 19.66 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the RTX 5050 Mobile delivers 7.680 TFLOPS. That puts the Intel part at roughly 2.56 times the raw FP32 throughput of the NVIDIA mobile chip. Texture rate follows a similar pattern: 614.4 GTexel/s for the Arc B770 versus 120.0 GTexel/s for the RTX 5050 Mobile, a ratio of 5.12 to 1. Pixel rate is even more lopsided, with 307.2 GPixel/s for Intel versus 48.00 GPixel/s for NVIDIA, a 6.4 to 1 advantage. These figures reflect the architectural scale of each chip, but they do not translate directly into real-world gaming performance, especially when power envelopes and memory subsystems differ so radically.

Memory bandwidth also diverges sharply. The Arc B770 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 512.0 GB/s. The RTX 5050 Mobile uses 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 384.0 GB/s. The Intel card has 33.3 percent more bandwidth and double the memory capacity. The GDDR7 memory on the NVIDIA part operates at 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective speed, while the Intel GDDR6 runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. The wider bus on the Intel card compensates for the slower memory speed per pin.

The Verdict

The data indicates that these two products serve entirely different purposes and should not be treated as direct competitors. The Intel Arc B770 is a desktop GPU with a 225 W TDP, a dual-slot cooler, and a 550 W suggested PSU. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is an integrated graphics package for laptops with a 50 W TDP and no dedicated power connectors. The Intel card requires a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector combination, while the NVIDIA part draws power through the portable device itself.

From a pure specification standpoint, the Arc B770 has the advantage in shading units (4096 versus 2560), texture mapping units (256 versus 80), render output units (128 versus 32), ray tracing cores (32 versus 20), and FP32 throughput (19.66 TFLOPS versus 7.680 TFLOPS). The RTX 5050 Mobile does have tensor cores (80), which the Arc B770 does not list, and it supports PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The RTX 5050 Mobile also posts a far higher percentile ranking at 83 percent versus 50 percent for the Arc B770.

The verdict from the database is clear: the RTX 5050 Mobile is the higher-ranked product in the overall GPU landscape, and it is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark scores. The Arc B770, despite its larger die and higher raw compute figures, has no measured performance data in the database, so its 50th percentile placement is based on specification alone. The NVIDIA part's 83rd percentile placement is supported by actual benchmark runs.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B770 wins on raw compute specifications. Its FP32 throughput of 19.66 TFLOPS is more than double the RTX 5050 Mobile's 7.680 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s is more than five times the NVIDIA part's 120.0 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s is more than six times the 48.00 GPixel/s of the mobile chip. The Arc B770 also offers double the memory capacity (16 GB versus 8 GB), a wider memory bus (256 bit versus 128 bit), and higher bandwidth (512.0 GB/s versus 384.0 GB/s). For workloads that scale with raw shading throughput, memory capacity, or fill rate, the Intel part is the stronger choice on paper.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile wins on efficiency and portability. Its 50 W TDP is a fraction of the Arc B770's 225 W TDP, and it requires no external power connectors. Its IGP slot width means it fits into slim laptop designs, whereas the Intel card is a dual-slot desktop component. The RTX 5050 Mobile also holds the advantage in the recorded performance data, with an 83rd percentile ranking and a 43268 average benchmark score. The Arc B770 has no recorded scores, so its real-world performance remains unquantified in the database.

The RTX 5050 Mobile also supports PCIe 5.0 x16, which doubles the interface bandwidth of the Arc B770's PCIe 4.0 x16 connection. The NVIDIA part has 80 tensor cores, which the Intel part does not list at all, suggesting an advantage in AI-accelerated workloads. The RTX 5050 Mobile's nearest rival deltas show it trading blows with the Quadro M6000 24 GB, the Quadro M6000, the RTX 4070 SUPER, and the RTX 4090 Mobile, all within a 1 percent band. That places the mobile chip in elite company despite its modest power draw.
