Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions these two processors at opposite ends of the computing spectrum. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) built for portable devices, while the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 is a server-class accelerator module. Benchmark results indicate no direct head-to-head comparisons exist in the database, and both hold the same 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The Intel part suits mobile systems where power efficiency and integrated display output matter. The NVIDIA part suits high-performance server deployments requiring massive memory bandwidth and tensor processing capabilities. Neither part can substitute for the other in its intended role.

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile delivers 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output pipelines. Its measured pixel rate reaches 28.00 GPixel/s, with a texture rate of 56.00 GTexel/s. Floating point performance is recorded at 1.792 TFLOPS for FP32 and 3.584 TFLOPS for FP16 using a 2:1 ratio. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6, by contrast, provides 18,944 shading units, 592 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output pipelines. Its pixel rate is 43.92 GPixel/s, texture rate is 1,083.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance reaches 69.34 TFLOPS, with FP16 also at 69.34 TFLOPS using a 1:1 ratio. These numbers confirm the NVIDIA part delivers roughly 38.7 times the FP32 throughput of the Intel IGP.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile uses the Xe-LPG architecture built on Intel's 10 nm process. It belongs to the Meteor Lake chip generation, specifically the Arc Graphics-M (Meteor Lake) line. Its predecessor is HD Graphics-M. The GPU connects via a Ring Bus interface and relies on system memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent. It supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and its display outputs are portable device dependent. The production status is Active, with a release date of 2023-12-13.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 uses the Blackwell architecture built on TSMC's 5 nm process. The chip is GB100, and the generation is Server Blackwell (Bxx). It contains 208,000 million transistors on a 1,628 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 127.8M per mm². This is a server module with an SXM6 form factor, a PCIe 6.0 x16 bus interface, and no display outputs. It supports no graphics APIs (DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan are all listed as N/A), reflecting its compute-focused role. Its predecessor is Server Hopper, and its successor is Server Rubin. The production status is Active, with a release date of 2024-10-31.

The architectures differ fundamentally in purpose. The Intel part integrates graphics into a mobile processor, sharing system memory and depending on the host system for memory bandwidth. The NVIDIA part is a discrete accelerator with dedicated HBM3e memory, 180 GB capacity, an 8,192-bit bus width, and 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part has no tensor cores listed, while the NVIDIA part includes 592 tensor cores. The Intel part also has no dedicated ray tracing cores listed, and neither part lists RT core counts in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No direct head-to-head benchmark results are recorded in the database, so comparison relies on the specification-level measurements. The most significant differences appear in raw compute throughput, memory capacity, and memory bandwidth.

FP32 performance shows the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 at 69.34 TFLOPS versus the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile at 1.792 TFLOPS. This is a 38.7-fold advantage for the NVIDIA part. FP16 performance shows a similar gap: 69.34 TFLOPS for NVIDIA versus 3.584 TFLOPS for Intel, a 19.3-fold advantage. The NVIDIA part maintains 1:1 FP16 to FP32 throughput, while the Intel part uses a 2:1 ratio, meaning its FP16 rate is double its FP32 rate.

Texture throughput differs substantially. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 achieves 1,083.4 GTexel/s from 592 TMUs, while the Intel part achieves 56.00 GTexel/s from 32 TMUs. The NVIDIA part provides 19.3 times the texture fill rate. Pixel throughput is less lopsided: 43.92 GPixel/s for NVIDIA versus 28.00 GPixel/s for Intel. The NVIDIA part still leads by roughly 1.57 times, but this is the closest measured metric between the two. The Intel part's 16 ROPs produce 28.00 GPixel/s, while the NVIDIA part's 24 ROPs produce 43.92 GPixel/s.

Memory is where the two parts diverge most dramatically. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has 180 GB of HBM3e memory, an 8,192-bit bus width, and 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The clock behavior also differs. The Intel part has a 300 MHz base clock and a 1,750 MHz boost clock. The NVIDIA part has a 120 MHz base clock and a 1,830 MHz boost clock. Despite the lower base clock, the NVIDIA part reaches a higher boost clock and far higher throughput because of its massive parallel resources.

The power envelope reflects the performance gap. The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU Mobile has a TDP of 65 W, while the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has a TDP of 1,000 W. The NVIDIA part also lists a suggested PSU of 1,400 W. The Intel part is an IGP with no power connectors listed, while the NVIDIA part is an SXM Module with no power connectors listed in the database.
