Intel Arc Pro B70 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Comparison

Intel Arc Pro B70 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The database contains a clear performance split between these two cards, but the comparison is asymmetric because the Intel Arc Pro B70 has no recorded benchmark scores, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has a full set of ten results. The RTX 4070 SUPER sits at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 43223, placing it within 1% of mobile flagships like the RTX 4090 Mobile and the Quadro M6000 series. The Arc Pro B70 holds a 50th percentile ranking with no measured scores, meaning its position is derived from specifications rather than direct testing. This analysis relies on the recorded data for the NVIDIA card and the architectural and specification differences listed for both.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 SUPER wins every category where measured performance exists, which is all of them. Its PassMark G3D score of 29995 and GPU compute score of 17108 show strong rasterization and compute throughput. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it records 4627 points, indicating solid modern DirectX 12 gaming capability. Geekbench results confirm this trend: 172795 in OpenCL and 205624 in Vulkan. These numbers place the card firmly ahead of its nearest rivals, with the database showing it is 0.1% below the Quadro M6000 24 GB and RTX 5050 Mobile, 0.2% below the Quadro M6000, and 1% below the RTX 4090 Mobile. The performance gap to those rivals is negligible, meaning the RTX 4070 SUPER operates at the top of its measured class.

The Arc Pro B70, lacking any benchmark entries, cannot claim a measured win in any test. Its wins exist only on paper through specification advantages: 32 GB of GDDR6 memory versus 12 GB of GDDR6X, a 256-bit memory bus versus 192-bit, 608.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 504.2 GB/s, and a higher pixel rate of 358.4 GPixel/s versus 198.0 GPixel/s. These specification leads suggest the Intel card is positioned for memory-capacity and fill-rate heavy workloads, but without recorded scores, the data cannot confirm real-world superiority. The RTX 4070 SUPER delivers all verified performance wins, while the Arc Pro B70 offers unverified theoretical advantages in specific resource metrics.

Architecture Differences

The two cards use different architectures from different manufacturers. Intel employs Xe2-HPG on the BMG-G31 chip, part of the Battlemage Pro Series generation, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 368 mm². NVIDIA uses Ada Lovelace on the AD104 chip, from the GeForce 40 series, also on a 5 nm process at TSMC but with a smaller die at 294 mm² and a listed transistor count of 35,800 million, giving a density of 121.8M per mm². Intel does not disclose its transistor count. The Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while NVIDIA uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ: Intel provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while NVIDIA provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Compute resources are organized differently. The RTX 4070 SUPER has 7168 shading units, 224 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 56 RT cores, and 224 tensor cores. The Arc Pro B70 has 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and 32 RT cores, with no tensor core count listed. Intel's configuration favors texture and pixel throughput, while NVIDIA packs more shading units and dedicated ray tracing and AI acceleration hardware. FP32 output reflects this: NVIDIA delivers 35.48 TFLOPS, Intel delivers 22.94 TFLOPS. FP16 performance also diverges: NVIDIA runs at a 1:1 ratio with 35.48 TFLOPS, while Intel uses a 2:1 ratio for 45.88 TFLOPS, meaning Intel's FP16 throughput exceeds its FP32 rate, a pattern suited to certain compute workloads.

Memory architecture is a major differentiator. Intel uses 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus for 608.0 GB/s bandwidth. NVIDIA uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus for 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. Clock speeds favor Intel on the core: 2280 MHz base and 2800 MHz boost versus 1980 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost. Memory clocks are listed as 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective for Intel and 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective for NVIDIA. Power draw is similar, with Intel at 230 W and NVIDIA at 220 W, both using dual-slot coolers and requiring a 550 W suggested PSU. Intel uses a single 8-pin connector, NVIDIA uses a single 16-pin connector. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark entries exist in the database, so direct side-by-side scores for the Arc Pro B70 are absent. The RTX 4070 SUPER's individual results stand as the only measured performance data. Its strongest result is the Geekbench Vulkan score of 205624, which is 18.9% higher than its own OpenCL score of 172795, indicating that the Vulkan API extracts more throughput from the hardware. The PassMark suite shows a mixed picture: G3D scores 29995, but DirectX 12 scores only 110, DirectX 11 scores 273, DirectX 10 scores 167, and DirectX 9 scores 344. The G2D score of 1184 is comparatively low. These variations suggest the card's performance depends heavily on the API and workload type.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the RTX 4070 SUPER is effectively tied with the Quadro M6000 24 GB and the RTX 5050 Mobile, both at 0.1% below its average score. The Quadro M6000 sits 0.2% below, and the RTX 4090 Mobile sits 1% below. This clustering means the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers performance statistically indistinguishable from those cards in aggregate benchmarks. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627 and the PassMark G3D score of 29995 are the only gaming-oriented results, and they confirm the card holds its own against mobile and workstation competitors in its measured class. Without Arc Pro B70 scores, no direct comparison can be made, and any claims about the Intel card's relative performance remain unverified.

The Verdict

The RTX 4070 SUPER is the only card with verified performance data, and that data places it at the 83rd percentile with an average score of 43223, effectively tied with the Quadro M6000 24 GB and the RTX 5050 Mobile. Its 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 7168 shading units deliver measured results across DirectX, OpenCL, and Vulkan tests. The Arc Pro B70 cannot be recommended on measured performance because none exists in the database. Its specification sheet shows advantages in memory capacity (32 GB versus 12 GB), memory bandwidth (608.0 GB/s versus 504.2 GB/s), pixel rate (358.4 GPixel/s versus 198.0 GPixel/s), and texture rate (716.8 GTexel/s versus 554.4 GTexel/s), plus a higher boost clock and larger die. These numbers suggest the Intel card targets workloads that demand large memory pools and high fill rates, but they remain untested.

The RTX 4070 SUPER also leads in raw compute throughput, with 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 versus 22.94 TFLOPS for Intel, and it adds 224 tensor cores and 56 RT cores for AI and ray tracing tasks, features the Intel card lacks in its listed specifications. The NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0, while Intel uses PCIe 5.0, and Intel supports newer DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Power requirements are nearly identical at 220 W versus 230 W, both with a 550 W suggested PSU. For any user choosing between these two based on the database, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the only option with confirmed performance, and it delivers top-tier results among its recorded rivals. The Arc Pro B70 remains a specification-only entry, promising capabilities that the data does not yet validate.
