Intel Arc G3 vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc G3 and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q. The Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q has a single recorded result. That score, 11088 points in 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12, places the NVIDIA part at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals in the database provide context for this score. The AMD Radeon RX 550 scores 11075 points, a delta of 0.1 percent behind the RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER scores 11047 points, 0.4 percent behind. The AMD FirePro W4300 scores 11225 points, putting it 1.2 percent ahead of the RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q. These deltas are small, indicating that in this particular workload the RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q sits in a tight cluster with those older, lower-tier cards.

The Intel Arc G3 has an avgBenchmarkScore of 0 and no nearest rivals listed, meaning there is no comparable measurement data for it in the database. Any statement about its performance against the NVIDIA part cannot be supported by recorded benchmark results. The percentileVsAllGpus field for the Intel part is 50, identical to the NVIDIA part, but this percentile is not derived from any actual benchmark score for the Intel product.

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the wins counters for both items are zero, the data does not support a claim of superiority for either product in any tested workload. The only conclusive numeric result available is the NVIDIA card's Steel Nomad DX12 score of 11088, which places it within 1.2 percent of the AMD FirePro W4300 and within 0.4 percent of the GTX 1650 SUPER in that test.

Architecture Differences

The two products diverge substantially at the architecture level. The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake chip built on Intel's Xe3-LPG architecture, produced on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q uses the GB202 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, produced on a 5 nm process at TSMC.

The NVIDIA part's transistor count is recorded as 92,200 million, with a die size of 750 mm² and a transistor density of 122.9M / mm². The Intel part's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so no density figure can be computed from the database.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The Intel Arc G3 has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA part has 24064 shading units, 752 TMUs, 192 ROPs, 188 RT cores, and 752 tensor cores. The NVIDIA card also includes tensor cores, while the Intel part's tensor core count is listed as null.

Clocks and rates follow the same pattern. The Intel chip runs at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, producing a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput of 6.144 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA chip runs at a base clock of 1590 MHz and a boost clock of 2288 MHz, producing a pixel rate of 439.3 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 1,720.6 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput of 110.1 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA part's FP16 figure is identical to its FP32 figure at 110.1 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part reaches 12.29 TFLOPS for FP16 with a 2:1 ratio.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The Intel Arc G3 uses system shared memory, with system-dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q has 96 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s.

Power and physical specifications also diverge. The Intel part has a 25 W TDP, is an integrated GPU (IGP) with no power connectors, and uses an IGP bus interface. The NVIDIA part has a 300 W TDP, a dual-slot form factor, a single 16-pin power connector, a suggested PSU of 700 W, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The NVIDIA card measures 267 mm by 111 mm by 40 mm, while the Intel part has no recorded dimensions.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ: the Intel part is portable-device dependent, while the NVIDIA card provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Where Each One Wins

The data supports a clear split based on measured and recorded specifications, even in the absence of direct head-to-head benchmarks.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q wins in every recorded compute and memory metric. Its FP32 throughput of 110.1 TFLOPS is roughly 18 times the Intel part's 6.144 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 1,720.6 GTexel/s exceeds the Intel part's 96.00 GTexel/s by a factor near 18. Its pixel rate of 439.3 GPixel/s is over nine times the Intel part's 48.00 GPixel/s. The dedicated 96 GB GDDR7 frame buffer with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth stands against the Intel part's system-shared memory with dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA card also has 188 RT cores versus 10, and 752 tensor cores versus none recorded.

The Intel Arc G3 wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is 275 W lower than the NVIDIA part's 300 W TDP. As an integrated GPU with no power connectors and an IGP bus interface, it requires no separate card slot, no external power, and no dedicated PSU recommendation. The NVIDIA card requires a dual-slot chassis, a 16-pin power connector, and a 700 W suggested PSU. The Intel part's display output is portable-device dependent, which matches its intended role as an integrated solution in a mobile or compact platform.

The release timeline favors the Intel part in terms of recency. The Intel Arc G3 has a release date of 2026-05-31, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q was released on 2025-03-17. The NVIDIA part lists a predecessor, Workstation Ada, while the Intel part has no recorded predecessor.

The NVIDIA card's benchmark presence gives it a recorded performance result: 11088 points in Steel Nomad DX12. The Intel part has no benchmark scores in the database. For any workload measured by that specific test, the NVIDIA card is the only one of the two with documented evidence of performance.
