The Verdict

The data points to two entirely different product categories. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is the only card with recorded benchmark performance, and its specifications confirm a professional workstation-class GPU. The Intel Arc B770, with no benchmarks and a 50th-percentile standing, appears as a mid-range consumer-oriented offering. For users requiring maximum compute throughput, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is the clear choice based on its FP32 performance of 126.0 TFLOPS versus 19.66 TFLOPS for the Arc B770. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell also delivers 96 GB of GDDR7 memory, 24,064 shading units, and 188 RT cores, all of which are far beyond the Arc B770's 16 GB GDDR6, 4,096 shading units, and 32 RT cores. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell holds a 59th-percentile rank versus the 50th for the Arc B770. The Intel card does have a higher base clock (2100 MHz vs 1590 MHz), but the NVIDIA card's boost clock reaches 2617 MHz versus 2400 MHz. The verdict is straightforward: the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is the dominant performer, while the Arc B770 serves a lower-tier segment. The Arc B770's predecessor is Alchemist, and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell's predecessor is Workstation Ada, which indicates the NVIDIA card targets the professional upgrade path.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no head-to-head benchmark entries in the database, and the Intel Arc B770 has zero benchmark records. The only measurable result belongs to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which scored 16,408 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This score places it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500, scored 16,415, a 0% delta, meaning the two are statistically identical. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scored 16,361, which is 0.3% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 scored 16,504, which is 0.6% higher than the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell. The Intel Arc B770, by contrast, has no recorded score, so no direct comparison is possible. The database shows the Arc B770 with an average benchmark score of 0 and zero wins in the head-to-head column. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell also has zero recorded wins in the head-to-head field, but this is due to the absence of paired tests rather than a lack of capability. The FP32 throughput difference is the largest measurable gap: 126.0 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card versus 19.66 TFLOPS for the Intel card, a factor of roughly 6.4. The texture rate follows a similar pattern, with the NVIDIA card at 1,968.0 GTexel/s versus 614.4 GTexel/s for the Intel card. The pixel rate is 502.5 GPixel/s versus 307.2 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth is 1.79 TB/s versus 512.0 GB/s, a 3.5-fold advantage for the NVIDIA card. These numbers, taken from the recorded data, show the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell leads in every measured performance dimension.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly all specification fields. The Intel Arc B770 uses the BMG-G31 chip with Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation.

Architecture Differences

The architecture differences are substantial. Intel's Xe2-HPG is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with a die size of 368 mm². The NVIDIA Blackwell 2.0 also uses a 5 nm TSMC process, but the die is 750 mm² and integrates 92,200 million transistors.

The display outputs are also different, with Intel offering one HDMI 2.1a port and three DisplayPort 2.1 ports, while NVIDIA offers four DisplayPort 2.1b ports. The NVIDIA card's predecessor is Workstation Ada, while Intel's predecessor is Alchemist. No successor is listed for either card.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell wins in every category with recorded numeric data. It has the only benchmark score (16,408 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12), the highest FP32 throughput (126.0 TFLOPS), the highest FP16 throughput (126.0 TFLOPS), the largest memory pool (96 GB), the fastest memory type (GDDR7), the widest memory bus (512 bit), and the highest bandwidth (1.79 TB/s). It also leads in shading units (24,064), TMUs (752), ROPs (192), RT cores (188), and tensor cores (752). The pixel rate (502.5 GPixel/s) and texture rate (1,968.0 GTexel/s) are both higher than the Intel card. The boost clock is also higher at 2617 MHz versus 2400 MHz. The percentile rank favors NVIDIA at 59 versus 50 for Intel.

The Intel Arc B770 wins in a limited set of fields. Its base clock is higher at 2100 MHz versus 1590 MHz. Its TDP is lower at 225 W versus 600 W, which means it requires a smaller suggested PSU (550 W versus 1000 W). It uses a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector setup instead of a single 16-pin connector. Its die size is smaller at 368 mm² versus 750 mm². It also has a later release date of 2025-12-31 versus 2025-03-17. For workloads that prioritize lower power draw or a smaller physical footprint, the Arc B770 has an edge, but the recorded data offers no performance evidence to support any compute advantage. The Arc B770's 512.0 GB/s bandwidth and 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 are the only performance figures it can claim, and these are far below the NVIDIA card's equivalents. The database shows no wins for either card in the head-to-head column, but the absence of paired benchmarks for the Intel card makes any win attribution impossible. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is the sole card with measurable performance, and its nearest rivals confirm it sits in a competitive mid-to-high tier, with the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 at a 0% delta and the RTX 5090 D V2 at a -0.6% delta. The Intel Arc B770 has no rivals listed, no benchmark scores, and no recorded wins. For professional rendering, AI inference, or high-bandwidth memory tasks, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is the only option with data to support it. For low-power or entry-level scenarios, the Arc B770 exists in the database with specifications that indicate a much lighter workload capacity, but no measured results to quantify it.
