Intel Arc Pro B50 vs NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Comparison

Intel Arc Pro B50 and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super occupy different corners of the hardware landscape, one a discrete desktop graphics card aimed at professional workstations, the other a system-on-module for embedded and edge deployment. The database records show that the Arc Pro B50 has a full set of benchmark results, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super has no recorded benchmark scores in the same suite, which means any comparison must lean on architecture specifications and the measured performance of the Intel part alone.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Arc Pro B50 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1604. That result places it in the 17th percentile among all GPUs tracked in the database. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 2660. The nearest rival in the database, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030, has an average score of 2662, a difference of 0.1 percent in favor of the GT 1030. The NVIDIA Quadro K1100M scores 2664, 0.2 percent above the Arc Pro B50. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 scores 2645, which is 0.6 percent below the Intel part. Even the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, a much higher-tier card, shows an average score of 2690, only 1.1 percent above the Arc Pro B50 in this aggregated metric. These tight deltas indicate that the Arc Pro B50’s average benchmark score sits in a narrow band around 2660, essentially matching several older or lower-end discrete GPUs despite its modern architecture.

Looking at individual PassMark subtests, the Arc Pro B50 shows a DirectX 10 score of 58, a DirectX 11 score of 100, a DirectX 12 score of 64, and a DirectX 9 score of 144. The PassMark G2D score is 717, while the G3D score reaches 12553. The PassMark GPU compute score is 6037. The G3D score of 12553 is the strongest single result among these tests, and it far exceeds the average benchmark score of 2660 because the average includes several lower DirectX-specific scores. The DirectX 11 score of 100 is notably higher than the DirectX 12 score of 64, which suggests the architecture performs relatively better under legacy DirectX 11 workloads than under DirectX 12 in these specific PassMark tests. The compute score of 6037 indicates a solid general-purpose compute capability, roughly half the G3D score.

The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile versus all GPUs is listed as 50, but that percentile appears without any supporting test data. The head-to-head benchmark array for both parts is empty, and the wins counter shows 0 for each side. Therefore, no direct numerical comparison between the two parts is possible from the recorded measurements. All performance statements about the Jetson Orin Nano Super must come from its hardware specifications, not from benchmark results.

The Verdict

From the data, the Intel Arc Pro B50 is the only one of the two with measured performance. It produces a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1604 and an average benchmark score of 2660, placing it in the 17th percentile among all GPUs. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has no recorded scores, so it cannot be ranked against the Arc Pro B50 or any other GPU using the database’s benchmark suite. The Arc Pro B50 also has a launch MSRP of 349 USD, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super has a launch MSRP of 249 USD, but those figures should not be interpreted as a measure of relative value, only as listed launch prices.

The Arc Pro B50 uses a 5 nm process from TSMC, packs 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, and reaches a transistor density of 72.1 million per square millimeter.

Memory is 8 GB of LPDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth. Pixel rate is 16.32 GPixel/s, texture rate is 32.64 GTexel/s, FP32 performance is 2.089 TFLOPS, and FP16 performance is 4.178 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The module runs at 25 W and has no separate power connector. Memory clock is 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective.

Given the absence of benchmark data for the Jetson Orin Nano Super, the database cannot support a claim that one part is faster than the other. The Arc Pro B50 delivers measured results; the Jetson Orin Nano Super does not. Users who rely on the database’s benchmark suite for performance ranking will find only the Arc Pro B50 comparable to other discrete GPUs. The Jetson Orin Nano Super’s 50th percentile ranking, without any test scores, provides no actionable comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B50 wins in raw graphics throughput. Its FP32 rate of 10.65 TFLOPS is more than five times the Jetson Orin Nano Super’s 2.089 TFLOPS. Texture rate favors the Arc Pro B50 by a wide margin: 332.8 GTexel/s versus 32.64 GTexel/s, a factor of 10.2. Pixel rate also favors Intel: 41.60 GPixel/s versus 16.32 GPixel/s, roughly 2.5 times higher. Memory bandwidth is 224.0 GB/s on the Arc Pro B50 versus 102.4 GB/s on the Jetson Orin Nano Super, a 2.2 times advantage. The Arc Pro B50 has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory versus 8 GB of LPDDR5, and it has 2048 shading units versus 1024. It also includes 16 ray tracing cores, which the Jetson Orin Nano Super lacks entirely.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super wins in power efficiency and physical size. Its 25 W TDP is less than half of the Arc Pro B50’s 70 W. The module dimensions are 70 mm by 45 mm, versus 167 mm by 69 mm for the Arc Pro B50. The Jetson Orin Nano Super is an integrated graphics processor (IGP), meaning it does not require a separate slot or external power connector, while the Arc Pro B50 is a dual-slot card with a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface and no power connectors of its own. The Jetson Orin Nano Super also carries 32 tensor cores, which the Arc Pro B50 does not list, making it the only part in this comparison with dedicated tensor hardware. Its bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x4, a narrower and slower link than the Arc Pro B50’s PCIe 5.0 x8, but for an embedded module that may be sufficient.

The Arc Pro B50 wins on display output capability. It has four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super’s display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, meaning they vary by the carrier board. The Arc Pro B50 also has a dedicated slot width of dual-slot and a length of 167 mm, which suits a desktop workstation chassis. The Jetson Orin Nano Super’s 70 mm length fits into compact embedded systems, but it cannot drive multiple high-resolution monitors without additional hardware.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super wins on FP16 to FP32 efficiency. Its FP16 rate is exactly double its FP32 rate (4.178 TFLOPS versus 2.089 TFLOPS), matching the 2:1 ratio. The Arc Pro B50 also has a 2:1 ratio (21.30 TFLOPS FP16 versus 10.65 TFLOPS FP32), so both parts show the same relative throughput for half-precision. Neither has an advantage there.

The Arc Pro B50 wins on memory capacity and bandwidth for graphics workloads. The 16 GB GDDR6 pool is double the Jetson Orin Nano Super’s 8 GB LPDDR5, and the bandwidth advantage is 224.0 GB/s versus 102.4 GB/s. This gives the Intel part more headroom for large textures and frame buffers. The Jetson Orin Nano Super’s LPDDR5 memory is more power-efficient and shares the module’s compact design, but it cannot match the throughput of dedicated GDDR6.

It is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. The transistor density is 72.1 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super is built on the Ampere architecture from the Tegra generation, using the GA10B chip. It is manufactured on an 8 nm process at Samsung, with a die size of 200 mm² and an unknown transistor count.

The Arc Pro B50 has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 16 RT cores. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 1024 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 32 tensor cores, but no RT cores. The Intel part has no listed tensor cores, while the NVIDIA part has no listed ray tracing cores. This is a fundamental architectural split: the Arc Pro B50 targets rasterization and ray-traced graphics, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super targets tensor-accelerated inference workloads.

Clock behavior also differs. The Arc Pro B50 has a base clock of 1700 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The Jetson Orin Nano Super has no listed base or boost clock for the GPU, but its memory runs at 800 MHz (6.4 Gbps effective). The Intel card’s boost clock is 52.9 percent above its base clock, indicating a wide dynamic range under load.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The Arc Pro B50 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 with a 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Jetson Orin Nano Super uses 8 GB of LPDDR5 with a 102.4 GB/s bandwidth. Both use a 128-bit bus, but the memory type and capacity favor Intel for graphics-heavy workloads. The NVIDIA module’s LPDDR5 is lower power and physically smaller, matching its embedded use case.

The process node is a major differentiator. The 5 nm TSMC process on the Arc Pro B50 allows for a transistor density of 72.1 million per square millimeter, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super’s 8 nm Samsung process has no recorded density figure. The die size is smaller on the NVIDIA part (200 mm² versus 272 mm²), but the transistor count is unknown, so density cannot be compared.

Power delivery and form factor also differ. The Arc Pro B50 is a dual-slot card, 167 mm long, 69 mm high, and 40 mm wide, with no power connectors and a suggested PSU of 250 W. The Jetson Orin Nano Super is an IGP, 70 mm long and 45 mm high, with no width listed, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The Intel card uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, while the Jetson module uses PCIe 4.0 x4. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical.

Display outputs differ substantially. The Arc Pro B50 provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connections, making it suitable for multi-monitor professional setups. The Jetson Orin Nano Super’s display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning they rely on the baseboard design. The Intel part also has a production status of Active and a release date of September 4, 2025, while the NVIDIA module has a release date of December 16, 2024. The Intel card’s launch MSRP is 349 USD, and the NVIDIA module’s launch MSRP is 249 USD. The Jetson module’s 25 W TDP is less than half of the Intel card’s 70 W, reinforcing its position as a low-power embedded solution rather than a desktop graphics card.
