Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different design targets. The Intel Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip built on TSMC's 6 nm process, implementing the Xe-HPG architecture from the Alchemist generation (Arc 5 Mobile). It packs 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8M per mm². Its feature set includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, along with 16 ray tracing cores. The GPU is an integrated package with an IGP slot width, uses PCIe 4.0 x8, and has portable-device-dependent display outputs.

The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC uses the GB110 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process, implementing the Blackwell Ultra architecture from the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation. This is a far larger device: 208,000 million transistors on a 1628 mm² die, with a transistor density of 127.8M per mm². The B300 has no DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan support listed, and it provides no display outputs, confirming its server-accelerator role. It has 592 tensor cores, whereas the Arc lists none. The B300 also uses a PCIe 6.0 x16 interface and an SXM Module slot width, versus the Arc's PCIe 4.0 x8 and IGP form factor.

Clock behavior differs substantially. The Arc A570M runs at a 900 MHz base and 1300 MHz boost, with memory at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The B300 runs at 1665 MHz base and 2032 MHz boost, with memory at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The B300's memory clock is higher in MHz, but its effective data rate is lower; the massive bandwidth advantage comes from the 8192-bit bus width and HBM3e technology.

The production status for both is Active. The Arc released on 2023-07-31, while the B300 released on 2025-09-10. The B300's predecessor is listed as Server Hopper and its successor as Server Rubin; the Arc has no predecessor or successor listed.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records a single head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. The results are decisive. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC scores 369,831, while the Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239. The delta is -84.3% from the perspective of the Arc, meaning the NVIDIA part outperforms the Intel part by a factor of roughly 6.35.

To contextualize the Intel result, the Arc A570M's score places it within a tight cluster of mid-range GPUs. It trails the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT by 0.3%, the NVIDIA P102-100 by 0.5%, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 by 0.7%, while edging the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM by 0.3%. These sub-1% deltas indicate that the Arc A570M is positioned in a highly competitive band where small margins separate neighboring products.

The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC, by contrast, sits in a far less contested tier. Its 369,831 score is 7% higher than the NVIDIA B200 at 345,482, 10.4% higher than the NVIDIA H200 NVL at 334,891, 16.3% higher than the AMD Instinct MI300X at 317,994, and 25% higher than the NVIDIA L40S at 295,763. Each step down in the rival list represents a larger gap than the entire difference between the Arc and its nearest competitors.

The benchmark result aligns with the architectural disparity. The B300 delivers 76.99 TFLOPS FP32 and 76.99 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1), while the Arc delivers 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 and 10.65 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). Texture throughput also differs dramatically: the B300 reaches 1,202.9 GTexel/s versus the Arc's 166.4 GTexel/s. Pixel rate is the one counterexample where the Arc leads, at 83.20 GPixel/s versus the B300's 48.77 GPixel/s, a consequence of the B300's low ROP count of 24 compared to the Arc's 64 ROPs.

The Verdict

The data separates these two GPUs cleanly by role and performance tier. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC is the clear performance leader, recording a 369,831 Geekbench OpenCL score, placing it at the 100th percentile with a 16.3% advantage over the AMD Instinct MI300X and a 25% lead over the NVIDIA L40S. It carries 288 GB of HBM3e memory with 8.19 TB/s bandwidth, 592 tensor cores, and 18,944 shading units. Its 1100 W TDP and 1500 W suggested PSU confirm it is designed for server installations with dedicated power delivery.

The Intel Arc A570M, with its 58,239 score and 88th percentile ranking, belongs to a different performance class entirely. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its score, indicating it sits in a dense field of comparable GPUs. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth suit client workloads, and its 75 W TDP makes it suitable for integrated, low-power systems. Its 64 ROPs and 83.20 GPixel/s pixel rate give it a specific advantage in rasterization throughput over the NVIDIA part, despite the B300's overwhelming lead in compute and memory bandwidth.

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward. The B300 SXM6 AC dominates in raw compute, memory capacity, and bandwidth. The Arc A570M offers a lightweight, mobile-class solution with a higher pixel fill rate and a much lower power envelope. No benchmark in the database shows a win for the Intel part, so the B300 is the superior choice for any workload measured by Geekbench OpenCL.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC wins on every recorded benchmark metric. It delivers 76.99 TFLOPS FP32, a 14.5x advantage over the Arc's 5.325 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 76.99 TFLOPS (1:1) compares to the Arc's 10.65 TFLOPS (2:1). Texture rate favors the B300 at 1,202.9 GTexel/s versus 166.4 GTexel/s. Memory bandwidth is 8.19 TB/s versus 224.0 GB/s, a 36.6x difference. The B300 also has 592 tensor cores, which the Arc lacks entirely, and a 100th percentile ranking versus the Arc's 88th.

The Intel Arc A570M wins on power efficiency and specific rasterization metrics. Its 75 W TDP is far below the B300's 1100 W, making it viable for integrated, low-power systems. Its pixel rate of 83.20 GPixel/s exceeds the B300's 48.77 GPixel/s, and its 64 ROPs outnumber the B300's 24. These advantages point to 2D composition and traditional raster workloads, where the Arc's higher ROP count and pixel throughput provide a measurable edge despite its lower compute capacity.

The B300's wins align with high-throughput compute, large-model memory residency, and tensor-accelerated workloads. The Arc's wins align with mobility, low power draw, and pixel-bound rendering. The benchmark data, however, shows only one recorded win, and it belongs to the NVIDIA part.
