Intel Arc A570M vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains a single recorded OpenCL score for the Intel Arc A570M, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation has no recorded benchmark entries. The Intel part posts a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239, which places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The lack of a recorded score for the NVIDIA card means no direct head-to-head comparison can be made from the measured data. The database shows the Intel Arc A570M sitting within a tight cluster of similarly performing cards: the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58,392, which is 0.3% higher, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58,085, which is 0.3% lower, the NVIDIA P102-100 averages 58,528, which is 0.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 averages 58,657, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas are all within a narrow 1% band, indicating that the Arc A570M's raw compute score is competitive with a range of desktop and workstation parts despite being a mobile integrated graphics solution.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile in the database with an average benchmark score of zero because no test results have been recorded. This is not a performance statement but a data availability statement. The database shows no wins for either product in head-to-head testing, since no paired benchmark runs exist. What can be said from the numbers is that the Intel part has a verified compute baseline, while the NVIDIA part has not yet been measured. The Arc A570M's 88th percentile ranking indicates that its single recorded score outperforms the vast majority of GPUs in the database, while the RTX PRO 4500's 50th percentile is a placeholder value, not a measured outcome.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and different architectural generations. Intel's Arc A570M uses the DG2-256 chip built on the Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist generation for Arc 5 Mobile. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process, integrating 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, for a transistor density of 42.8 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation uses the GB203 chip built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the Blackwell PRO W (x000) generation. It is also fabricated by TSMC but on a 5 nm process, integrating 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, for a transistor density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The transistor count is roughly four times higher on the NVIDIA chip, and the density is nearly three times higher, reflecting the newer process node and more complex design.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The Intel part has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA part has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That is four times the capacity and exactly four times the bandwidth. Memory clocks are listed as 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective for the Intel card and 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective for the NVIDIA card, meaning the NVIDIA memory operates at twice the effective data rate.

Compute resources are also far apart. The Intel GPU has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, with 16 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA GPU has 10,496 shading units, 328 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units, with 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores. The shading unit count is over five times higher on the NVIDIA side, and the tensor core presence is unique to the NVIDIA chip, as the Intel part has no tensor core count listed. Pixel rate on the Intel card is 83.20 GPixel/s, while the NVIDIA card reaches 269.6 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 166.4 GTexel/s versus 789.5 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 5.325 TFLOPS on the Intel card versus 50.53 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA card, a difference of nearly an order of magnitude. FP16 performance is 10.65 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio on the Intel card, while the NVIDIA card delivers 50.53 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, meaning it does not gain a throughput advantage by switching to FP16.

Power and physical characteristics diverge as well. The Intel Arc A570M has a TDP of 75 W, uses an integrated form factor (IGP), and has no listed power connectors, making it suitable for portable devices where the display outputs are device-dependent. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 is a dual-slot card measuring 267 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, with a TDP of 200 W, a single 16-pin power connector, and a suggested power supply of 550 W. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8 on the Intel side and PCIe 5.0 x16 on the NVIDIA side, a difference that affects data transfer rates between the GPU and the host system. The NVIDIA card also lists four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, while the Intel card's outputs are dependent on the portable device it is integrated into.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A570M shows a clear advantage in the only benchmark category where data exists. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 is recorded and places it at the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The database shows this score is effectively tied with several desktop and workstation cards, all within 0.7% of each other. For a mobile integrated GPU with a 75 W TDP, this level of compute performance is notable. The Intel card also wins on power efficiency in the sense that it operates at 75 W versus 200 W for the NVIDIA card, and it requires no external power connector and no suggested PSU rating. Its IGP form factor makes it suitable for portable devices where space and power are constrained. The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface is sufficient for its bandwidth needs given its 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation wins on every raw specification category where data is recorded. It has more memory, more bandwidth, more shading units, more texture units, more raster units, more ray tracing cores, tensor cores, higher clock speeds, higher pixel and texture rates, and nearly ten times the FP32 throughput. Its 32 GB GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth is four times the capacity and four times the bandwidth of the Intel part. The 50.53 TFLOPS FP32 figure is a massive compute advantage for workloads that scale with raw throughput. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface provides double the lane count and a newer generation compared to the Intel card's PCIe 4.0 x8. The four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs give it a fixed, professional display configuration, whereas the Intel card's outputs depend on the host device. The dual-slot form factor with a 16-pin connector and 550 W suggested PSU indicates a card designed for desktop workstations with adequate power delivery.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes a clear distinction between these two products. The Intel Arc A570M is a mobile integrated GPU with a single measured benchmark score of 58,239, placing it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs. Its performance profile is comparable to desktop cards like the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, the NVIDIA P102-100, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710, all within a 1% band. This suggests that for compute tasks measured by OpenCL, the Arc A570M punches well above its 75 W integrated design. Users with a portable device containing this GPU can expect compute performance in line with several mid-range to high-end desktop cards from the database.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation has no recorded benchmark scores, so its real-world compute performance cannot be assessed from the database. What the specifications show is a GPU with substantially larger resources across the board: 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, 10,496 shading units, 328 tensor cores, 82 ray tracing cores, and 50.53 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. These are the specifications of a professional workstation card intended for demanding workloads that require large memory capacity, high bandwidth, and massive parallel compute. The 200 W TDP, dual-slot design, and 550 W suggested PSU confirm that this is a discrete desktop component with substantial power requirements.

The choice between the two depends entirely on the use case. The Intel Arc A570M is suitable for portable devices where an integrated GPU with verified compute performance is required. Its benchmark score indicates it can handle general compute workloads comparably to several desktop GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 is suitable for workstation desktops where the full specification sheet matters: 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 50.53 TFLOPS FP32. The database has not yet recorded a benchmark score for the NVIDIA card, so its percentile ranking of 50 should be treated as a default value rather than a measured outcome. Until benchmark data is recorded for the RTX PRO 4500, the Intel Arc A570M remains the only one of the two with a verified performance baseline in the database.
