Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile Comparison

FAQ

Q: What are the architectural generations of the Intel Arc B770 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile?

A: The Intel Arc B770 belongs to the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation and uses the Xe2-HPG architecture on the BMG-G31 chip. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile is part of the GeForce 50-series, using the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB206 chip.

Q: Which GPU has more memory bandwidth?

A: The Intel Arc B770 delivers 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth over a 256-bit bus with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile provides 384.0 GB/s over a 128-bit bus with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory.

Q: How do the power requirements compare between the two?

A: The Intel Arc B770 has a TDP of 225 W, requires a dual-slot cooler, and uses a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connector setup with a suggested PSU of 550 W. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile has a TDP of 45 W, is an IGP (integrated graphics package) form factor, and requires no power connectors.

Q: What is the measured performance percentile for each GPU in the database?

A: The Intel Arc B770 sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile sits at the 67th percentile.

Q: Does the RTX 5060 Mobile have a higher average benchmark score than the Arc B770?

A: The database shows no benchmark records for the Intel Arc B770, meaning its average benchmark score is 0. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile has a recorded average benchmark score of 22435 across its available tests.

Q: What are the closest rivals to the RTX 5060 Mobile according to the database?

A: The nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (0.5% behind), AMD Radeon RX 5700 (1.2% ahead), AMD Radeon RX 6700S (1.3% ahead), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (1.3% behind).

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different design philosophies. Intel's Arc B770 uses the Xe2-HPG architecture on a 368 mm² die fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Mobile uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a significantly smaller 181 mm² die, also TSMC 5 nm, with 21,900 million transistors and a density of 121.0M transistors per mm². Intel does not disclose a transistor count for the B770.

The compute configuration diverges sharply. The Arc B770 carries 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, 128 raster operation units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5060 Mobile has 3328 shading units, 104 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 26 RT cores, and adds 104 tensor cores, a feature the Arc B770 does not list. This structural difference explains the gap in raw throughput: Intel's card reaches 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 and 39.32 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio), while NVIDIA's mobile chip delivers 9.684 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio).

Memory subsystems also differ in type and configuration. The Arc B770 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, producing a pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s. The RTX 5060 Mobile uses 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, with a pixel rate of 69.84 GPixel/s and texture rate of 151.3 GTexel/s. The memory clock difference is notable: the Intel card runs at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective), while the NVIDIA part runs at 1500 MHz (24 Gbps effective). The GDDR7 standard's higher per-pin data rate partially compensates for the narrower bus, but total bandwidth still favors Intel by 128 GB/s.

Interface and connectivity differ as well. The Arc B770 uses PCIe 4.0 x16 and provides 1x HDMI 2.1a plus 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The RTX 5060 Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16 and lists display outputs as portable device dependent. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The physical form factors reflect their target markets: the Arc B770 is a dual-slot card requiring external power, while the RTX 5060 Mobile is an IGP with no power connectors, designed for integration into laptops.

The Verdict

The database records no benchmark scores for the Intel Arc B770, so its measured performance cannot be compared directly to the RTX 5060 Mobile's results. The RTX 5060 Mobile has a substantial body of recorded data: its average benchmark score is 22435, placing it at the 67th percentile among all GPUs. Its closest rivals, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile, sit within 1.3% of its average score. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 and RX 6700S trail by only 1.2% and 1.3% respectively.

For the Arc B770, the absence of benchmark entries means the verdict rests on architectural specifications rather than measured results. The Intel card offers double the memory capacity (16 GB versus 8 GB), 33% more bandwidth, roughly double the FP32 throughput, and more than four times the pixel rate. It also requires 225 W of power versus 45 W, making it a desktop-class component. The RTX 5060 Mobile, by contrast, is a low-power mobile part with a smaller die, tensor cores, and a PCIe 5.0 interface.

The data supports a clear split: the RTX 5060 Mobile is the only one of the two with validated benchmark performance in the database, and that performance places it in the upper third of all GPUs. The Arc B770's specifications suggest a higher ceiling in raw compute and memory throughput, but with no recorded scores, the database cannot confirm that advantage in practice. Buyers seeking a mobile solution with verified results would select the RTX 5060 Mobile. Buyers prioritizing memory capacity, bandwidth, and peak throughput on paper would look to the Arc B770.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table between these two GPUs is empty, and the Intel Arc B770 has no individual benchmark records in the database. The comparison therefore relies on the RTX 5060 Mobile's measured results and the architectural figures for the Intel card.

The RTX 5060 Mobile's strongest recorded result comes from Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 96969, with a nearly identical Geekbench Vulkan score of 96451. These two results indicate strong general-purpose compute and cross-API graphics performance. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the card scores 3013.5, a moderate result that reflects its mobile power envelope. PassMark results show 18852 in G3D, 876 in G2D, and 7607 in GPU compute. The legacy DirectX tests show 203 in DirectX 9, 168 in DirectX 11, 119 in DirectX 10, and 87 in DirectX 12, the lowest of the group.

The Arc B770's theoretical numbers, while unmeasured, would dominate several of these categories if realized. Its FP32 throughput of 19.66 TFLOPS is more than double the RTX 5060 Mobile's 9.684 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s is 4.4 times the NVIDIA part's 69.84 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s is 4.1 times the 151.3 GTexel/s of the RTX 5060 Mobile. The Intel card's 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth exceeds the NVIDIA card's 384.0 GB/s by one-third.

The RTX 5060 Mobile counters with efficiency and tensor capability. Its 45 W TDP is one-fifth of the Arc B770's 225 W. It includes 104 tensor cores, which the Intel card does not list. Its GDDR7 memory, despite the narrower bus, reaches 24 Gbps effective speed versus 16 Gbps on the Intel card. The NVIDIA part also uses PCIe 5.0 x16, doubling the interface bandwidth of the Arc B770's PCIe 4.0 x16 connection.

The percentile data reinforces the measured gap. The RTX 5060 Mobile's 67th percentile placement means it outperforms two-thirds of all GPUs in the database. Its average score of 22435 puts it in a tight cluster with the RX 7700 XT (22549, 0.5% ahead), RTX 4060 Mobile (22729, 1.3% ahead), RX 5700 (22170, 1.2% behind), and RX 6700S (22154, 1.3% behind). The Arc B770's 50th percentile, based on no recorded benchmarks, does not reflect measured competition. The database shows one GPU with validated results and one GPU with specifications only.
