Intel Arc Pro A60 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

Intel Arc Pro A60 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile occupy different tiers of the GPU landscape, and the benchmark data confirms a decisive performance gap. The NVIDIA part wins both recorded head-to-head tests by wide margins, while the Intel card counters with a superior position in the overall percentile ranking and a more conventional desktop form factor. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers more than double the compute throughput in OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, making it the clear choice for raw performance, whereas the Arc Pro A60 offers a niche as a stable, single-slot professional card with higher relative standing among all GPUs.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile dominates every shared benchmark in the database. In geekbench_opencl, it scores 143870 against 63485 for the Intel Arc Pro A60, a margin of 55.9 percent. In geekbench_vulkan, the NVIDIA card posts 139213 versus 57166, a 58.9 percent advantage. These are not narrow victories; they represent a fundamental difference in execution throughput. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also carries a much larger benchmark portfolio, with additional passmark results covering DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, 2D, 3D, and compute workloads, indicating a broader validation footprint.

The Intel Arc Pro A60 wins in the aggregate percentile comparison. It sits at the 88th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits at the 80th percentile. That means the Intel card outperforms a larger share of the total GPU population, even though it loses to this specific NVIDIA part. The Arc Pro A60 also has a higher average benchmark score relative to its nearest rivals, landing within 0.3 percent of the GeForce RTX 4090 and ahead of the AMD Radeon PRO V710 by 2.8 percent. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, by contrast, sits within 0.2 percent of the Quadro GV100 and trails the AMD Radeon Pro Duo by 1.2 percent.

Use cases split accordingly. For compute-heavy tasks that rely on OpenCL or Vulkan, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the stronger option by a substantial margin. For users who prioritize a card that ranks higher against the full GPU field, the Arc Pro A60 presents a more favorable profile. The Intel card also offers a single-slot design, which suits dense workstation builds, while the NVIDIA part is an integrated graphics package with no power connectors, designed for portable devices.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and manufacturing processes. The Intel Arc Pro A60 uses the Xe-HPG architecture on the DG2-256 chip, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB205 chip, built on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference is small but meaningful, allowing the NVIDIA chip to pack 31,100 million transistors into a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3 million per mm². The Intel chip contains 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, for a density of 42.8 million per mm². The NVIDIA part achieves nearly three times the transistor density.

Core counts diverge sharply. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, 46 ray tracing cores, and 184 tensor cores. The Arc Pro A60 has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA part also supports a 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, delivering 17.04 TFLOPS in both FP16 and FP32, while the Intel card uses a 2:1 ratio, delivering 16.79 TFLOPS FP16 and 8.397 TFLOPS FP32.

Memory architecture differs as well. Both cards use a 192 bit bus and 12 GB of memory, but the NVIDIA part uses GDDR7 at 28 Gbps effective, producing 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel card uses GDDR6 at 16 Gbps effective, producing 384.0 GB/s. That gives the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile roughly 75 percent more memory bandwidth. Clock behavior also differs: the Intel card has a higher base clock of 900 MHz and a higher boost clock of 2050 MHz, while the NVIDIA part runs at 847 MHz base and 1447 MHz boost. The NVIDIA card compensates with far more cores and faster memory.

Power and interface requirements set the two apart further. The Arc Pro A60 is rated at 130 W TDP with a suggested 300 W power supply, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is rated at 60 W TDP and draws power from the host system with no connectors. The Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x16, the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display output also differs: the Arc Pro A60 provides 4x DisplayPort 2.0, while the NVIDIA card's outputs are portable device dependent.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head results in the database cover two tests, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins both. In geekbench_opencl, the NVIDIA card scores 143870 against 63485 for the Intel Arc Pro A60, a delta of negative 55.9 percent from the Intel card's perspective. In geekbench_vulkan, the NVIDIA card scores 139213 against 57166, a delta of negative 58.9 percent.

These margins indicate that the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers roughly 2.3 times the OpenCL score and 2.4 times the Vulkan score of the Intel card. The consistency across both APIs suggests a systemic advantage in compute throughput rather than an API-specific optimization. The NVIDIA card's higher shading unit count, tensor core presence, and memory bandwidth all contribute to this outcome.

The Intel card does not win any recorded head-to-head benchmark. Its strengths appear only in the aggregate statistics: a higher percentile ranking at 88 versus 80, and an average benchmark score of 60326 that places it near the GeForce RTX 4090 in its nearest rival group. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's average score of 35435 places it near the Quadro GV100, a different competitive tier.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the superior performer in every direct comparison recorded in the database. It wins geekbench_opencl by 55.9 percent and geekbench_vulkan by 58.9 percent, and it offers nearly twice the FP32 throughput, more than double the shading units, and significantly higher memory bandwidth. It also operates at a much lower TDP of 60 W, making it suitable for portable systems.

The Intel Arc Pro A60 is the better choice for users who need a single-slot desktop card with DisplayPort 2.0 outputs and a higher standing among all GPUs. Its 88th percentile ranking exceeds the NVIDIA card's 80th percentile, and its average benchmark score of 60326 is close to the GeForce RTX 4090, indicating strong performance relative to the broader market. It also has a higher boost clock of 2050 MHz, which can benefit lightly threaded workloads that depend on clock speed.

For raw compute performance, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the clear winner. For a professional workstation card with a broad output configuration and a stronger percentile position, the Arc Pro A60 holds its own despite losing the direct benchmarks. The choice depends on whether the priority is maximum throughput or form factor and market ranking.
