Intel Arc Pro B70 vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Pro B70 and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server. The database contains zero wins for either card in direct comparison tests. This absence of paired measurements means the analysis must rely on the individual benchmark score for the NVIDIA card and the architectural specifications of both cards.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5996. This result places the card in the 34th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals in the database show extremely tight clustering around this score. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M averages 6000, a delta of -0.1% relative to the RTX PRO 6000. The AMD Radeon RX 6400 averages 6001, also -0.1%. The AMD FirePro W4100 averages 5987, which is 0.2% ahead of the RTX PRO 6000. The NVIDIA Quadro K4000M averages 5986, 0.2% ahead as well.

The Intel Arc Pro B70 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its percentile ranking sits at 50, but with an average benchmark score of zero, this percentile is unsubstantiated by actual test data. The absence of any benchmark entries for the Intel card means the database cannot confirm its real-world performance level.

The NVIDIA card's 3DMark score of 5996 sits within a remarkably narrow band of rival scores. The spread from the lowest rival (Quadro K4000M at 5986) to the highest (Radeon RX 6400 at 6001) is only 15 points. This indicates the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server's recorded performance is statistically indistinguishable from these much older and lower-tier cards in this specific test. The delta percentages of 0.2% or -0.1% are within typical run-to-run variance for benchmark testing.

The Intel Arc Pro B70's theoretical compute figures suggest substantially higher performance than the recorded NVIDIA benchmark implies, but without direct test data, these figures remain speculative. The NVIDIA card's 126.0 TFLOPS FP32 performance is over five times the Intel card's 22.94 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card also has 24064 shading units versus 4096 on the Intel card. These specifications indicate the RTX PRO 6000 should dominate in raw compute workloads, yet its recorded 3DMark score contradicts what the hardware specifications would suggest.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server wins decisively on raw computational throughput. Its FP32 performance of 126.0 TFLOPS dwarfs the Intel Arc Pro B70's 22.94 TFLOPS, a difference of more than 100 TFLOPS. The FP16 performance shows an even more telling split: the NVIDIA card delivers 126.0 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel card manages 45.88 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. This means the NVIDIA card maintains full FP16 throughput without the penalty the Intel architecture applies.

Memory bandwidth strongly favors the NVIDIA card. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth on the RTX PRO 6000 more than doubles the Intel card's 608.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card uses 96 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, while the Intel card uses 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus. For memory-intensive workloads such as large language model inference or high-resolution rendering, the NVIDIA card has a clear advantage in both capacity and throughput.

Texture and pixel rates follow the same pattern. The NVIDIA card delivers 1,968.0 GTexel/s and 502.5 GPixel/s, compared to 716.8 GTexel/s and 358.4 GPixel/s on the Intel card. The NVIDIA card has 752 texture mapping units and 192 render output units, versus 256 and 128 respectively on the Intel card.

The Intel Arc Pro B70 wins in clock speed. Its base clock of 2280 MHz and boost clock of 2800 MHz exceed the NVIDIA card's 1590 MHz base and 2617 MHz boost. The Intel card also has a higher memory clock at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) versus 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) on the NVIDIA card. However, the NVIDIA card's wider 512-bit memory bus compensates for its lower clock speed, resulting in the significantly higher overall bandwidth.

The NVIDIA card has dedicated tensor cores, with 752 present. The Intel card lists no tensor cores in its specifications. This makes the NVIDIA card the only option for workloads that leverage tensor core acceleration. The NVIDIA card also has 188 ray tracing cores versus 32 on the Intel card, a nearly sixfold advantage in ray tracing hardware.

Power consumption shows a major split. The NVIDIA card draws 600 W and requires a 1000 W power supply, while the Intel card draws 230 W with a 550 W suggested power supply. The NVIDIA card uses a single 16-pin connector, while the Intel card uses a single 8-pin connector. The Intel card's lower power draw makes it viable in systems with smaller power supplies, but this advantage comes with the substantial compute deficit.

The Verdict

The data presents an unusual situation. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has a recorded benchmark score of 5996, which places it in the 34th percentile, statistically tied with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M, AMD Radeon RX 6400, AMD FirePro W4100, and NVIDIA Quadro K4000M. These rivals show deltas between -0.1% and 0.2%, indicating the recorded performance of the RTX PRO 6000 in this specific 3DMark test is not meaningfully different from these significantly older cards.

The Intel Arc Pro B70 has no benchmark scores at all. Its specifications indicate a 22.94 TFLOPS FP32 capability, 32 GB GDDR6 memory, and a 230 W power draw. The NVIDIA card's specifications show 126.0 TFLOPS FP32, 96 GB GDDR7 memory, and a 600 W power draw. Based purely on the architectural specifications, the NVIDIA card is the superior performer for compute-heavy workloads, offering more than five times the FP32 throughput and nearly three times the memory bandwidth.

For workloads that require tensor core acceleration, the NVIDIA card is the only option, as it has 752 tensor cores while the Intel card has none. For ray tracing, the NVIDIA card's 188 RT cores dwarf the Intel card's 32. The NVIDIA card also has a 512-bit memory bus versus 256-bit on the Intel card, and 24064 shading units versus 4096.

The Intel card does offer lower power requirements at 230 W with a 550 W suggested power supply, versus 600 W and 1000 W for the NVIDIA card. The Intel card also has higher clock speeds on both the GPU core and memory. The Intel card has a launch MSRP of 949 USD, while the NVIDIA card has no recorded launch MSRP.

The recorded benchmark data does not support the NVIDIA card's architectural advantages. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5996 is indistinguishable from cards with far lower specifications. The Intel card has no recorded score, so its actual performance cannot be verified against the database. The choice between these cards depends on whether the user trusts the architectural specifications or the limited benchmark data.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is the clear choice for applications that demand maximum compute throughput, large memory capacity, tensor core acceleration, and advanced ray tracing. The Intel Arc Pro B70 is the choice for systems with limited power supply capacity, where a 230 W card with a 550 W power supply requirement is preferable to a 600 W card needing a 1000 W supply. The NVIDIA card's 96 GB memory capacity is triple the Intel card's 32 GB, and its 1.79 TB/s bandwidth is nearly triple the Intel card's 608.0 GB/s. The data shows the NVIDIA card as the dominant performer on paper, while the Intel card offers a lower-power alternative with no recorded benchmark verification.
