Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows that the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation holds a commanding position in the database’s performance percentile rankings, sitting at the 95th percentile against all GPUs. The Intel Arc B770, by contrast, lands at the 50th percentile, which places it squarely in the middle of the field. This disparity in percentile ranking is a strong indicator of overall benchmark performance, though the Intel card does offer its own set of architectural advantages that may matter for specific workloads.

For the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, the database records an average benchmark score of 117,088 across its tested workloads. The Geekbench OpenCL score for this card is 124,812, while its Geekbench Vulkan score is 109,364. These numbers place the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation in close competition with several notable rivals. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GB10, posts an average score of 117,393, which is a mere 0.3% delta from the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, effectively a statistical tie. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 comes in at 118,976, a 1.6% advantage for the AMD card. On the other side, the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114,395, which is 2.4% behind the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, and the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile scores 113,944, trailing by 2.8%.

The Intel Arc B770 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database and no nearest rival data. This absence of measured performance data makes direct head-to-head numerical comparisons impossible. However, the percentile ranking of 50% versus 95% provides a clear qualitative signal: the NVIDIA card is far more competitive in the broader GPU landscape. The data indicates that the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation delivers roughly double the percentile standing of the Arc B770, which suggests a significant performance gulf in general-purpose compute and graphics workloads.

In terms of raw throughput figures, the Intel Arc B770 does post higher theoretical numbers in several categories. Its FP32 performance is 19.66 TFLOPS, slightly ahead of the NVIDIA card’s 19.17 TFLOPS. The Arc B770 also claims a pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s versus 99.84 GPixel/s for the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, and a texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s versus 299.5 GTexel/s. These figures indicate that the Intel card has a higher theoretical fill-rate ceiling, which could benefit certain rasterization-heavy tasks. However, the NVIDIA card counters with a higher shading unit count (6144 versus 4096), more RT cores (48 versus 32), and a substantial number of tensor cores (192), which the Intel card lacks entirely in the recorded data.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from entirely different architectural lineages. The Intel Arc B770 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, specifically using the BMG-G31 chip, and belongs to the Battlemage generation within the Arc 7 product family. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation uses the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, and it is part of the GeForce 40-series workstation lineup. Both are manufactured on a 5 nm process node at TSMC, which means they share the same fundamental fabrication technology. The Intel chip has a die size of 368 mm², while the NVIDIA chip is smaller at 294 mm². The NVIDIA chip contains 35,800 million transistors, giving it a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The Intel card’s transistor count is listed as unknown in the database.

Memory configuration differs markedly between the two. The Intel Arc B770 offers 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation provides 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, which results in a lower bandwidth of 280.0 GB/s. This means the Intel card has a 232 GB/s bandwidth advantage, a substantial margin that favors memory-heavy workloads. However, the NVIDIA card offers 4 GB more capacity, which may be relevant for large datasets or high-resolution textures.

Clock speeds show a notable divergence. The Intel Arc B770 runs at a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation operates at a much lower base clock of 720 MHz and a boost clock of 1560 MHz. Despite the lower clocks, the NVIDIA card achieves comparable FP32 throughput (19.17 TFLOPS versus 19.66 TFLOPS) thanks to its higher shading unit count and other architectural efficiencies. Memory clocks also differ: the Intel card runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, while the NVIDIA card runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed.

Power consumption is a major differentiator. The Intel Arc B770 has a TDP of 225 W and requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 550 W. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation has a TDP of just 70 W, requires no external power connectors, and has a suggested PSU of only 250 W. This represents a power efficiency advantage for the NVIDIA card that is difficult to overstate: it delivers nearly the same FP32 performance at less than one-third the thermal design power.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split in use cases. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation is the superior choice for general-purpose compute, professional workloads, and any scenario where power draw is a constraint. Its 95th percentile ranking, combined with an average benchmark score of 117,088, places it among the top tier of GPUs in the database. The presence of 192 tensor cores and 48 RT cores gives it a decisive advantage in AI acceleration, deep learning inference, and ray-traced rendering, all of which are common in professional environments. The 70 W TDP and lack of external power connectors make it exceptionally easy to integrate into small form factor systems with modest power supplies.

The Intel Arc B770, with its 50th percentile ranking and no recorded benchmark scores, is a harder sell for performance-critical applications. Its higher theoretical fill rates (307.2 GPixel/s and 614.4 GTexel/s) and higher memory bandwidth (512.0 GB/s) could benefit specific rasterization workloads or bandwidth-sensitive tasks. The 16 GB of VRAM is also respectable, though less than the NVIDIA card’s 20 GB. However, the lack of tensor cores, the higher power draw, and the absence of measured benchmark data in the database make it a less compelling option for compute-heavy or power-sensitive deployments.

For users who prioritize raw compute performance, professional software compatibility, and energy efficiency, the recorded data strongly favors the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation. For users who need maximum memory bandwidth and higher pixel/texture throughput, and who can accommodate a 225 W power draw with a 550 W PSU, the Intel Arc B770 offers specific theoretical advantages. The benchmark database records no head-to-head comparisons between these two cards, so any final choice must weigh the qualitative percentile gap against the specific architectural strengths of each product.
