Intel Arc Pro B70 vs Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 Comparison

Intel Arc Pro B70 vs Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100

The database places both the Intel Arc Pro B70 and the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 at the 50th percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of zero for each. The recorded data shows no head-to-head benchmarks, no wins for either side, and no nearest rival entries. This means the comparison must rely entirely on the specification sheets, architectural details, and feature sets recorded in the database. The Arc Pro B70 is a 2026 Battlemage generation product built for professional graphics delivery, while the Data Center GPU Max 1100 is a 2023 Ponte Vecchio accelerator with no display outputs. The two serve fundamentally different compute environments.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pairing. There are zero wins recorded for the Intel Arc Pro B70 and zero wins for the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100. Neither product has a benchmark list, an average score above zero, or a nearest rival set. The percentile rank of 50 for both indicates they sit at the median of the database's GPU population, but without measured performance data, direct performance comparisons are not possible from the recorded measurements.

The absence of benchmark data does not prevent a specification-level analysis. The Arc Pro B70 delivers 22.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Data Center GPU Max 1100 delivers 22.22 TFLOPS. The difference is 0.72 TFLOPS, or roughly 3% in favor of the Arc Pro B70. In FP16, the gap widens considerably. The Arc Pro B70 reaches 45.88 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio, while the Data Center GPU Max 1100 stays at 22.22 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. That places the Arc Pro B70 at more than double the FP16 throughput of the Data Center GPU Max 1100. For workloads that rely on reduced precision, the Arc Pro B70 has a clear specification advantage.

Pixel throughput tells a different story. The Arc Pro B70 records 358.4 GPixel/s, while the Data Center GPU Max 1100 records 0 MPixel/s. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 has zero ROPs, so it cannot perform rasterized pixel output. Texture rates are closer: 716.8 GTexel/s for the Arc Pro B70 versus 694.4 GTexel/s for the Data Center GPU Max 1100. The Arc Pro B70 leads by 22.4 GTexel/s, a margin of about 3%. Memory bandwidth favors the Data Center GPU Max 1100 significantly. It records 1.23 TB/s from HBM2e across an 8192-bit bus, while the Arc Pro B70 records 608.0 GB/s from GDDR6 across a 256-bit bus. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 has more than double the memory bandwidth.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Pro B70 uses the BMG-G31 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture. The process node is 5 nm at TSMC. The die size is 368 mm², and the transistor count is listed as unknown in the database. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses the Ponte Vecchio chip built on Generation 12.5 architecture. The process node is 10 nm at Intel, with a die size of 1280 mm² and 100,000 million transistors. The transistor density for the Data Center GPU Max 1100 is recorded as 78.1M per mm². The Arc Pro B70 has no transistor density entry. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses a much larger physical die with nearly four times the area, but the Arc Pro B70 uses a more advanced 5 nm process.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Arc Pro B70 has a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1550 MHz. The Arc Pro B70 runs at more than double the base clock and nearly double the boost clock. Memory clocks also differ. The Arc Pro B70 runs its GDDR6 at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 runs its HBM2e at 600 MHz with 1200 Mbps effective speed. The raw memory clock is lower on the Data Center GPU Max 1100, but the enormous 8192-bit bus width compensates with far higher total bandwidth.

Shader resources are distributed differently. The Arc Pro B70 has 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and 32 RT cores. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 has 7168 shading units, 448 TMUs, 0 ROPs, and 56 RT cores. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 has 75% more shading units and 75% more TMUs, plus 24 additional RT cores. The Arc Pro B70 has all 128 ROPs, while the Data Center GPU Max 1100 has none. This is a fundamental architectural split: the Data Center GPU Max 1100 is built for compute throughput without rasterization, while the Arc Pro B70 is a full graphics processor.

It also has a lower TDP at 230 W and a lower suggested PSU of 550 W.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 wins on memory and raw compute resource counts. It has 48 GB of HBM2e versus 32 GB of GDDR6, with 1.23 TB/s bandwidth versus 608.0 GB/s. The 8192-bit bus is 32 times wider than the 256-bit bus on the Arc Pro B70. It has 7168 shading units, 448 TMUs, and 56 RT cores, all higher than the Arc Pro B70.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split by use case. The Intel Arc Pro B70 is the choice for any workload requiring graphics output, rasterization, or modern API support. Its 358.4 GPixel/s pixel rate, 128 ROPs, and display outputs make it a functional graphics card. Its FP16 throughput of 45.88 TFLOPS gives it a strong edge in mixed-precision compute. The DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 support align it with current graphics software. The lower TDP and 8-pin connector make it more adaptable to standard workstation power delivery.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is the choice for memory-bound compute workloads. Its 1.23 TB/s bandwidth and 48 GB capacity dwarf the Arc Pro B70. The 56 RT cores and 7168 shading units provide a larger compute substrate, even if clock speeds are lower. The lack of ROPs and display outputs confirms it is not intended for graphics presentation. Its higher TDP and 12-pin connector reflect a data center installation context.

Benchmark results are absent from the database, so neither product has verified performance data beyond specifications. The percentile rank of 50 for both is identical, suggesting no measured separation in the database's overall distribution. For a professional graphics station, the Arc Pro B70 is the only viable option between the two due to its display support and rasterization capability. For a compute accelerator with massive memory bandwidth, the Data Center GPU Max 1100 has the specification advantage. The choice depends on whether the workload requires graphics output or pure compute throughput.
