Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Arc B770 and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super does not include direct head-to-head benchmark scores, wins, or margins. Both entries show zero benchmark entries and zero wins in the database. The absence of measured performance data means no exact percentage deltas can be derived between the two parts. However, the architectural specifications provide a clear basis for comparing raw throughput capabilities.

The dominant computational advantage belongs to Intel. The Arc B770 delivers 19.66 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is approximately 9.4 times the 2.089 TFLOPS recorded for the Jetson Orin Nano Super. In FP16, the gap narrows slightly but remains enormous: 39.32 TFLOPS versus 4.178 TFLOPS, a factor of roughly 9.4 as well. Pixel throughput follows the same pattern, with the Arc B770 rated at 307.2 GPixel/s against 16.32 GPixel/s for the NVIDIA part, a 18.8 times difference. Texture rate shows a similar spread: 614.4 GTexel/s versus 32.64 GTexel/s, a 18.8 times gap.

Memory bandwidth further separates the two. The Arc B770 uses a 256 bit GDDR6 interface delivering 512.0 GB/s, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super relies on a 128 bit LPDDR5 interface at 102.4 GB/s. That is a 5 times bandwidth advantage for the Intel card. The memory capacity difference is also substantial: 16 GB versus 8 GB.

The NVIDIA part does hold advantages in specific areas. Its Tensor Cores number 32, while the Arc B770 lists no tensor core count in the database. The Jetson Orin Nano Super also carries a dramatically lower power envelope at 25 W TDP, compared to 225 W for the Intel card. The NVIDIA module is rated as an IGP with dimensions of 70 mm by 45 mm, whereas the Intel card is a Dual-slot PCIe add-in board with a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connector requirement and a 550 W suggested PSU.

The Verdict

The data points to two entirely different deployment targets. The Intel Arc B770 is a high-throughput desktop and workstation graphics card aimed at maximum rasterization and compute performance. Its 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores position it as a full-scale GPU solution. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super is a compact embedded system-on-module built around the GA10B chip with 1024 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 32 Tensor Cores, designed for edge AI workloads where power draw and physical footprint are the primary constraints.

For workloads that demand raw FP32 or FP16 compute, the Arc B770 is the clear choice based on the recorded figures. For tasks that require Tensor Core acceleration or operation within a 25 W power budget, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is the only option in this comparison with that capability. The NVIDIA module also carries an active production status and a launch MSRP of 249 USD, while the Intel card has no launch MSRP listed.

Neither part wins on benchmark scores because no benchmark scores exist in the database. The verdict must rest on specification-derived capability. The Intel Arc B770 delivers roughly 9.4 times the FP32 throughput, 18.8 times the pixel rate, and 5 times the memory bandwidth of the Jetson Orin Nano Super. The NVIDIA part counters with Tensor Cores, a 25 W TDP, and a 70 mm by 45 mm footprint.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. Intel uses TSMC at 5 nm for the BMG-G31 chip, while NVIDIA uses Samsung at 8 nm for the GA10B chip. The Intel die measures 368 mm², the NVIDIA die measures 200 mm². Both share the same API support: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Intel architecture is Xe2-HPG from the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation, with a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. The NVIDIA architecture is Ampere from the Tegra generation, with no base or boost clock listed. Its memory runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective speed.

Ray tracing support differs. The Intel card has 32 dedicated ray tracing cores. The Jetson Orin Nano Super lists no ray tracing cores. Tensor processing also differs: the NVIDIA module has 32 Tensor Cores, while the Intel card lists none. The Intel card has a dual-slot form factor and PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. The NVIDIA module uses PCIe 4.0 x4 and is classified as an IGP.

The Intel card has display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. The NVIDIA module's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent. The NVIDIA part is marked as Active in production status, while the Intel card has no production status recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B770 wins in every measured throughput category recorded in the database. Its 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs produce 307.2 GPixel/s and 614.4 GTexel/s. Its FP32 figure of 19.66 TFLOPS and FP16 figure of 39.32 TFLOPS make it suitable for high-resolution rendering, heavy compute workloads, and large-batch processing. The 16 GB GDDR6 memory at 512.0 GB/s provides ample capacity and bandwidth for large textures and datasets. The dual-slot design with HDMI 2.1a and three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs supports multi-monitor desktop setups.

The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super wins in power efficiency, physical size, and tensor processing. Its 25 W TDP is 9 times lower than the Intel card's 225 W TDP. Its 70 mm by 45 mm dimensions allow integration into compact embedded systems where a dual-slot card cannot fit. The 32 Tensor Cores provide dedicated hardware for AI inference workloads, a capability absent from the Intel card's recorded specifications. The 8 GB LPDDR5 memory, while smaller and slower, is paired with a 128 bit bus that suits edge deployments with modest memory demands.

The API support is identical, so neither part gains an advantage in DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan compatibility. The Intel card's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface offers more host bandwidth than the NVIDIA module's PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, which matters for data transfer between CPU and GPU. The NVIDIA module's active production status indicates ongoing availability, while the Intel card's production status is not recorded.
