Intel Arc Pro A60 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data splits these two GPUs into completely different performance tiers. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti wins every recorded head-to-head benchmark in the database, and the margins are substantial. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 212,363 against the Intel Arc Pro A60's 63,485, a delta of 70.1% in favor of NVIDIA. The Vulkan results are even more lopsided: 225,122 versus 57,166, a 74.6% gap. There is no benchmark category in the database where the Intel card comes out ahead.

The Intel Arc Pro A60 still occupies a meaningful position in the market, just not a competitive one against a flagship GeForce 50-series card. Its average benchmark score of 60,326 places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs, which indicates strong overall performance relative to the broader database population. The RTX 5070 Ti, despite winning every head-to-head test, sits at the 86th percentile with an average score of 49,957. The percentile discrepancy is a reminder that the NVIDIA card's average is dragged down by its own benchmark suite, which includes a Passmark DirectX 12 score of 127, a Passmark DirectX 10 result of 192, and a Passmark DirectX 9 score of 351. The Intel card's benchmark set is smaller, with only two recorded tests, both Geekbench workloads that happen to favor NVIDIA heavily.

The use-case split is therefore about workload type rather than vendor preference. For compute-heavy OpenCL tasks, the RTX 5070 Ti delivers roughly three and a half times the throughput of the Arc Pro A60. For Vulkan-based rendering, the NVIDIA card delivers nearly four times the score. The Intel card is better suited for professional or embedded contexts where its single-slot form factor and lower power envelope matter more than raw compute, while the RTX 5070 Ti is the clear choice for any workload where raw benchmark performance is the deciding factor.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two cards is wide. The Intel Arc Pro A60 uses the DG2-256 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist generation for the Pro Series. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti uses the GB203 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture from the GeForce 50 generation. It is built on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC, with 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, giving a density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The transistor density difference is stark: the NVIDIA chip packs nearly three times as many transistors per unit area.

The RTX 5070 Ti carries 8,960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The Arc Pro A60 has 2,048 shaders, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. NVIDIA's ray tracing implementation uses 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores, while Intel's card has 16 RT cores and no tensor core count listed in the database. The FP32 throughput tells the story: 43.94 TFLOPS for NVIDIA versus 8.397 TFLOPS for Intel. Interestingly, the RTX 5070 Ti runs FP16 at the same 43.94 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Arc Pro A60 reaches 16.79 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio.

The NVIDIA card draws 300 W with a suggested 700 W power supply and uses a single 16-pin connector. The Intel card has a 130 W TDP with a 300 W suggested PSU and no power connector listed, implying it draws power entirely from the PCIe slot. The RTX 5070 Ti is a dual-slot card measuring 304 mm long, 137 mm high, and 48 mm wide. The Arc Pro A60 is single-slot with no dimensions recorded. The Intel card supports PCIe 4.0 x16, while NVIDIA uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the Arc Pro A60 offers four DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, while the RTX 5070 Ti provides one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only two directly comparable benchmark results in the database are Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan. Both are decisive NVIDIA victories. In OpenCL, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 212,363 against the Arc Pro A60's 63,485. The delta of 70.1% means the NVIDIA card is roughly 3.3 times faster in this workload. In Vulkan, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 225,122 against 57,166, a delta of 74.6%, or about 3.9 times faster. These are not marginal wins; they represent a full performance tier separation.

The RTX 5070 Ti's broader benchmark suite shows consistency across different API generations. Its Passmark G3D score is 32,974, while its Passmark GPU Compute score is 20,203. The Passmark DirectX 11 score of 300 is the highest among its DirectX results, followed by DirectX 9 at 351, DirectX 10 at 192, and DirectX 12 at 127. The Geekbench Vulkan result of 225,122 is the single highest recorded score for the NVIDIA card in the database. For the Intel card, the OpenCL score of 63,485 is higher than its Vulkan score of 57,166, which suggests a slight preference for compute-style workloads over graphics-style rendering in its recorded results.

The nearest rival data for each card puts their performance into broader context. The Arc Pro A60's average score of 60,326 is essentially tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 at 60,347, a delta of 0%. It also sits close to the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60,140 (0.3% ahead) and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61,896 (2.5% behind). The RTX 5070 Ti's average of 49,957 places it near the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 at 50,001 (0.1% behind), the Intel Arc A550M at 49,737 (0.4% ahead), and the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT at 50,951 (2% behind). The RTX 5070 Ti's average is dragged down by its Passmark DirectX 12 score of 127 and Passmark DirectX 10 score of 192, which are outliers relative to its Geekbench results.
