Intel Arc Pro A60M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data for the Intel Arc Pro A60M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER shows a stark contrast in their intended workloads, despite both being classified as active products in the database. The Intel Arc Pro A60M carries no benchmark scores in the database, which means its performance profile must be assessed through its architectural specifications and its percentile ranking. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, conversely, has a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 2690 points, placing it in the 18th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The Intel Arc Pro A60M sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, which indicates a middle-of-the-pack standing in the database's overall performance distribution. This percentile position suggests that the A60M is positioned for professional mobile workloads where raw gaming performance is not the primary metric. The RTX 5070 SUPER's 18th percentile ranking, despite its high absolute score, reflects the database's inclusion of many higher-performing desktop and workstation parts above it.

The RTX 5070 SUPER's nearest rivals in the database are all substantially lower-performing parts: the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664 points, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 points, the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 points, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 points. The delta percentages are minimal, ranging from 1.0% to 1.7% ahead of these rivals. This clustering indicates that the 2690-point score places the RTX 5070 SUPER in a narrow performance band where small score differences separate products.

For the Intel Arc Pro A60M, the absence of recorded benchmarks means the database contains no direct win data for any workload. The wins are therefore defined by specification advantages rather than measured outcomes. The A60M's 95 W TDP, compared to the RTX 5070 SUPER's 275 W TDP, gives it a clear advantage in power-constrained mobile environments. The A60M's integrated graphics processor (IGP) slot width means it is designed to be soldered directly onto a motherboard, whereas the RTX 5070 SUPER is a dual-slot discrete card with dimensions of 245 mm length, 115 mm height, and 40 mm width.

The RTX 5070 SUPER wins decisively in every measured performance category that the database records. Its single benchmark score of 2690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 provides a concrete data point, while the A60M has none. The RTX 5070 SUPER also holds advantages in memory capacity, bandwidth, shading units, texture units, raster operations units, ray tracing cores, tensor cores, and raw compute throughput. The A60M's advantages are limited to power consumption and form factor flexibility.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different architectural generations and design philosophies. The Intel Arc Pro A60M uses the DG2-256 chip built on the Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist generation for Pro-Series Mobile. This chip is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, containing 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 generation. It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 118.3 million transistors per square millimeter.

The transistor counts reveal a massive scale difference. The RTX 5070 SUPER packs nearly three times the transistor count of the A60M into a slightly smaller die, enabled by the denser 5 nm process. This density difference, 118.3M per square millimeter versus 42.8M per square millimeter, is the single largest architectural gap between the two products. The A60M's 6 nm process represents an earlier fabrication node, and the database records show that Intel chose a larger die with fewer transistors per area for this professional mobile part.

Clock speeds diverge substantially. The A60M operates at a 900 MHz base clock and a 1300 MHz boost clock. The RTX 5070 SUPER runs at a 2325 MHz base clock and a 2512 MHz boost clock. The RTX 5070 SUPER's boost clock is nearly double the A60M's boost clock, and its base clock exceeds the A60M's boost clock by over 1000 MHz. These clock differences compound with the architectural improvements to produce a significant compute gap.

Memory architecture differs in every respect. The A60M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, running at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, running at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER offers 2.25 times the memory capacity and 2.625 times the memory bandwidth of the A60M. The GDDR7 memory type represents a newer standard than the A60M's GDDR6.

Compute resources show a similar pattern. The A60M contains 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operations units, and 16 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5070 SUPER contains 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 RT cores, and 200 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 3.125 times the shading units, 1.5625 times the TMUs, 1.25 times the ROPs, and 3.125 times the RT cores. The A60M has no tensor cores recorded, while the RTX 5070 SUPER includes 200 of them, a critical difference for AI-accelerated workloads.

Pixel and texture throughput follow the compute resource ratios. The A60M delivers 83.20 GPixel/s and 166.4 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 SUPER delivers 201.0 GPixel/s and 502.4 GTexel/s, representing 2.4 times the pixel rate and 3.0 times the texture rate. Floating point performance shows the largest gap: the A60M provides 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 and 10.65 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The RTX 5070 SUPER provides 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 and 32.15 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio), giving it 6.0 times the FP32 throughput and 3.0 times the FP16 throughput.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries comparing the Intel Arc Pro A60M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER. The wins counter shows zero for both items, reflecting the absence of paired test results. However, the RTX 5070 SUPER's recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score provides a reference point that can be contextualized against its nearest rivals, while the A60M has no recorded scores at all.

The RTX 5070 SUPER's 2690-point score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 places it 1.0% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664 points), 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2662 points), 1.1% ahead of the Intel Arc Pro B50 (2660 points), and 1.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (2645 points). These deltas are small, indicating that the RTX 5070 SUPER's measured performance in this particular test does not dramatically separate it from much older or lower-tier parts. The narrow score band from 2645 to 2690 spans only 45 points, and the RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the top of that band.

The Intel Arc Pro A60M's average benchmark score is recorded as zero, with no individual test entries. This does not mean the GPU has no performance capability; rather, the database lacks measured results for this mobile professional part. Its 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests that the database's internal model places it at the median of all recorded GPUs, although the absence of concrete scores limits the precision of any comparison.

FP32 compute offers a clear numerical comparison. The RTX 5070 SUPER's 32.15 TFLOPS is 6.0 times the A60M's 5.325 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth shows a 2.625 times advantage for the RTX 5070 SUPER at 672.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s. Pixel rate favors the RTX 5070 SUPER at 201.0 GPixel/s versus 83.20 GPixel/s, a 2.4 times difference. Texture rate shows a 3.0 times advantage at 502.4 GTexel/s versus 166.4 GTexel/s.

The RTX 5070 SUPER's ray tracing resources, 50 RT cores versus 16, and its 200 tensor cores versus none, represent feature-level advantages that the A60M cannot match in the recorded data. The RTX 5070 SUPER also supports PCIe 5.0 x16, while the A60M uses PCIe 4.0 x16, doubling the interface generation. Display outputs differ as well: the RTX 5070 SUPER provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, while the A60M's outputs are recorded as portable device dependent.
