Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop
The Intel Arc A570M is noticeably faster, around 17% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Intel Arc A570M is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The Intel Arc A570M draws just 95W versus 115W for the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Intel Arc A570M is roughly 7 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop (Alchemist vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Intel Arc A570M offers Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap. The Intel Arc A570M also has dedicated ray-tracing hardware that the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop lacks — a real gap if you play ray-traced titles.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop or Intel Arc A570M?
The Intel Arc A570M is the faster card by about 17%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
