Intel Arc Pro B70 vs NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Pro B70 and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super. The database shows zero benchmark entries, zero wins for either part, and no nearest rival comparisons. Both products sit at the 50th percentile in the overall GPU distribution, though this figure is derived from the absence of scored workloads rather than measured performance.

What can be established from the specifications is the theoretical compute envelope. The Intel Arc Pro B70 delivers 22.94 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, which is 10.98 times the 2.089 TFLOPS of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super. In FP16, the Intel part reaches 45.88 TFLOPS versus 4.178 TFLOPS, a 10.98x advantage again, consistent with the 2:1 ratio both architectures employ. Pixel throughput favors Intel at 358.4 GPixel/s versus 16.32 GPixel/s, a 21.96x gap. Texture fill rates show 716.8 GTexel/s against 32.64 GTexel/s, a 21.96x difference.

The memory subsystem reinforces the disparity. The Arc Pro B70 uses 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, producing 608.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 8 GB of LPDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 102.4 GB/s. That is a 5.94x bandwidth advantage for Intel. The Intel card also operates at a 2280 MHz base clock and 2800 MHz boost, while the Jetson part lists no base or boost clocks, only an 800 MHz memory clock with 6.4 Gbps effective data rate.

The absence of measured benchmarks means any head-to-head comparison must rely on architectural and specification deltas. The compute ratios are large and consistent across every throughput metric, indicating the Intel part is designed for a fundamentally different workload class. The Jetson Orin Nano Super, with a 25 W TDP and an integrated graphics package, targets embedded and edge scenarios where the 230 W dual-slot Intel card is not applicable.

Architecture Differences

The two devices use entirely different silicon generations and fabrication processes. The Intel Arc Pro B70 is built on the BMG-G31 chip with the Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage Pro Series generation. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 368 mm². The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super uses the GA10B chip with the Ampere architecture from the Tegra generation, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung with a die size of 200 mm². The process node difference, 5 nm versus 8 nm, explains part of the density and efficiency gap, though transistor counts are listed as unknown for both.

Compute resources differ sharply. The Intel part contains 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, 128 raster operation units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Jetson part has 1024 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and no dedicated ray tracing cores. Tensor core counts are inverted: NVIDIA lists 32 tensor cores on the Jetson, while Intel does not report a tensor core count. The Jetson's tensor cores support its AI-oriented positioning, though the database does not include any tensor-specific benchmark scores.

Memory architecture diverges completely. Intel uses discrete GDDR6 with a dedicated 256-bit memory bus and a 608.0 GB/s bandwidth figure. NVIDIA uses LPDDR5 integrated memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 102.4 GB/s. The Intel memory clock is listed at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective, while the Jetson memory clock is 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective. The Intel card's 32 GB capacity is four times the Jetson's 8 GB.

Power and physical design represent the largest architectural distinction. The Intel Arc Pro B70 has a 230 W TDP, requires a dual-slot cooler, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested 550 W power supply. It measures 267 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 39 mm in width. The Jetson Orin Nano Super is an integrated graphics processor with a 25 W TDP, no external power connector, no suggested PSU rating, and dimensions of 70 mm by 45 mm. The Jetson's display outputs are described as portable device dependent, whereas the Intel card provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Interface capabilities also differ. The Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Jetson uses PCIe 4.0 x4. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. The release timeline shows the Jetson launched on 2024-12-16, while the Intel Arc Pro B70 has a release date of 2026-03-25. The Jetson is marked as active production status, while the Intel card has no production status listed.

The Verdict

The data positions these products for different markets. The Intel Arc Pro B70 is a full-size discrete workstation graphics card with 22.94 TFLOPS FP32, 32 GB of GDDR6, 608.0 GB/s bandwidth, ray tracing hardware, and a 230 W power envelope. It targets rendering, simulation, and high-end visualization workloads where memory capacity and throughput matter. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super is an embedded system-on-chip with 2.089 TFLOPS FP32, 8 GB of LPDDR5, 102.4 GB/s bandwidth, tensor cores, and a 25 W power envelope. It targets edge AI inference, robotics, and portable devices where power efficiency and small physical footprint dominate.

The 10.98x FP32 advantage and 21.96x pixel rate advantage for Intel confirm that any compute-heavy desktop workload belongs on the Arc Pro B70. The Jetson's 4x memory capacity deficit and 5.94x bandwidth deficit make it unsuitable for large dataset processing. Conversely, the Intel card cannot operate in power-constrained environments: its 230 W TDP is 9.2 times the Jetson's 25 W, and its physical dimensions preclude embedded integration. The Jetson's tensor cores provide a capability the Intel card does not list, though no benchmark data quantifies the impact.

The database records no head-to-head wins for either product. The verdict must therefore be conditional on workload class. For desktop or server-side graphics and compute tasks, the Intel Arc Pro B70 is the only viable option from these two. For edge deployment, mobile systems, or low-power inference, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is the only viable option. Neither product substitutes for the other.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Arc Pro B70 wins in desktop compute and visualization. The 22.94 TFLOPS FP32 and 45.88 TFLOPS FP16 figures provide over ten times the throughput of the Jetson. The 358.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 716.8 GTexel/s texture rate are each 21.96 times higher. The 32 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with 608.0 GB/s bandwidth supports large scenes, high-resolution textures, and multi-layer rendering. The 32 ray tracing cores enable hardware-accelerated ray-traced workloads, a feature the Jetson lacks entirely. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface provides high-bandwidth host communication for workstation tasks. The display outputs, 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, allow multi-monitor professional setups.

NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super wins in edge and embedded deployments. The 25 W TDP is 9.2 times lower than the Intel card's 230 W, permitting fanless or passively cooled operation. The 70 mm by 45 mm footprint fits into compact enclosures, drones, robots, and portable devices, whereas the Intel card requires a 267 mm dual-slot chassis. The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface suits low-power host connections. The 32 tensor cores provide dedicated AI inference hardware, a resource absent from the Intel specification. The portable device dependent display output reflects its role in system-on-module designs rather than desktop graphics. The 8 GB LPDDR5 memory, while smaller, is sufficient for embedded inference workloads that load models into tensor core memory.

The launch MSRP for the Intel Arc Pro B70 is 949 USD. The launch MSRP for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super is 249 USD. The database records no benchmark scores, no nearest rivals, and no head-to-head wins for either product. The selection between them is determined entirely by the physical and power constraints of the target system, not by measured performance.
