Intel Arc A570M vs NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a single benchmark result for the Intel Arc A570M, while the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super has no recorded benchmark scores. The Intel Arc A570M achieves a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239, placing it in the 88th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super sits in the 50th percentile, with an average benchmark score of 0 due to the absence of recorded tests.

The Intel Arc A570M's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT with an average score of 58392, meaning the Arc A570M trails by 0.3 percent. It also sits against the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58085, where the Arc A570M leads by 0.3 percent. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58528, putting the Arc A570M 0.5 percent behind, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, leaving the Arc A570M 0.7 percent behind.

The gap between the Intel Arc A570M and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super cannot be quantified through direct benchmark comparison because the Jetson device has no recorded scores. The Intel part's 58239 OpenCL result stands as the only measured performance data point in this pairing. The Jetson Orin Nano Super's 50th percentile ranking reflects its position based on database-wide data, but with no individual test scores, the head-to-head comparison rests entirely on the Arc A570M's measured output.

The Intel Arc A570M's floating-point performance further illustrates the gap. The Arc A570M delivers 5.325 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super delivers 2.089 TFLOPS. In FP16, the Arc A570M reaches 10.65 TFLOPS (2:1), against the Jetson's 4.178 TFLOPS (2:1). These figures confirm that the Intel part provides more than double the raw compute throughput in both precision formats.

The pixel and texture rates also favor the Intel part substantially. The Arc A570M achieves 83.20 GPixel/s and 166.4 GTexel/s, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super manages 16.32 GPixel/s and 32.64 GTexel/s. The Intel part is roughly five times faster in pixel throughput and texture throughput based on these recorded specifications.

Architecture Differences

The two devices come from different process nodes and foundries. The Intel Arc A570M uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, while the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super uses an 8 nm process from Samsung. The Intel chip, designated DG2-256, carries 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The Jetson Orin Nano Super's chip, GA10B, has an unknown transistor count and a 200 mm² die size, with no density figure recorded.

The architectural generation differs significantly. The Arc A570M belongs to Intel's Xe-HPG architecture, specifically the Alchemist generation (Arc 5 Mobile). The Jetson Orin Nano Super uses NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, in the Tegra (Ampere) generation. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so the API feature sets align, but the underlying hardware designs diverge.

Core configuration shows a wide disparity. The Arc A570M contains 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 16 ray tracing cores. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 1024 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and no ray tracing cores listed. Instead, the Jetson part includes 32 tensor cores, a feature absent from the Arc A570M's specification sheet. This reflects the Jetson's intended role in edge AI workloads, where tensor acceleration for neural networks takes priority over rasterization and ray tracing.

Memory architecture also differs. The Arc A570M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Jetson Orin Nano Super uses 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory on the same 128 bit bus width, but only reaches 102.4 GB/s. The memory clock rates reflect this: the Arc A570M runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective, while the Jetson runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective.

The bus interface separates the two as well. The Arc A570M connects via PCIe 4.0 x8, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super uses PCIe 4.0 x4. Both are integrated-class parts with an IGP slot width and portable device dependent display outputs. The power envelope differs, with the Arc A570M rated at 75 W and the Jetson at 25 W.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A570M wins decisively on raw graphics compute. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239, placed in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, demonstrates strong general compute capability. The nearest rival comparisons show the Arc A570M trading within 0.7 percent of the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 5600 OEM, NVIDIA P102-100, and Radeon PRO V710, a tight cluster that places it among established discrete graphics parts. The Jetson Orin Nano Super, with no benchmark scores and a 50th percentile ranking, cannot match this measured performance.

The Arc A570M also wins on memory bandwidth and compute throughput. Its 224.0 GB/s bandwidth more than doubles the Jetson's 102.4 GB/s. The FP32 rate of 5.325 TFLOPS versus 2.089 TFLOPS, and the FP16 rate of 10.65 TFLOPS versus 4.178 TFLOPS, give the Intel part a clear advantage in any workload that relies on raw shader or compute throughput. The pixel rate of 83.20 GPixel/s and texture rate of 166.4 GTexel/s further reinforce this lead, making the Arc A570M the stronger choice for graphics rendering, rasterization, and general-purpose GPU compute.

The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super wins on power efficiency and form factor. Its 25 W TDP is one-third of the Arc A570M's 75 W TDP, meaning the Jetson delivers its compute at a far lower power envelope. The recorded dimensions of 70 mm by 45 mm confirm a compact physical footprint suited for embedded or edge deployments. The inclusion of 32 tensor cores gives the Jetson a dedicated path for AI inference and neural network workloads, an area where the Arc A570M has no corresponding hardware. The Jetson's 200 mm² die size, smaller than the Arc A570M's 269 mm², also indicates a more space-conscious design.

The Jetson also wins on the basis of its launch MSRP of 249 USD, which is recorded in the database, while the Arc A570M has no launch MSRP available. The Jetson's later release date of 2024-12-16, compared to the Arc A570M's 2023-07-31, reflects a more recent introduction. For workloads that prioritize low power, small physical size, and tensor-based AI acceleration, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is the appropriate part. For workloads that demand maximum graphics throughput, memory bandwidth, or raw compute, the Intel Arc A570M is the clear choice based on the recorded data.
