Performance comparison: which is faster?
Intel Arc B570 (Intel, 2025) and Intel Arc A310 4GB (Intel, 2023) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: Arc B570 is about 262.5% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM Arc B570（10GB） has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | Arc B570 | Arc A310 4GB |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 14,500 | 4,000 |
| VRAM | 10GB | 4GB |
| Manufacturer | Intel | Intel |
| Series | Arc B | Arc |
| Release Year | 2025 | 2023 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Ryzen 7 1700X | AMD Phenom II X4 945 |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on Arc B570 also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | Arc B570 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | Arc B570 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | Arc A310 4GB (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Arc B570 is about 262.5% higher by score (Arc B570: 14500 points / Arc A310 4GB: 4000 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Arc B570 has 10GB of VRAM, while Arc A310 4GB has 4GB; Arc B570 has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, Ryzen 7 1700X pairs well with Arc B570 and AMD Phenom II X4 945 with Arc A310 4GB (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
