How the numbers are taken. Amounts are per 100 g of the edible part, from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy, public domain), in the state named — raw, boiled, roasted and so on. Percentages use the FDA Daily Values for adults and children aged 4 and over, set around a 2,000-calorie diet; your own needs can be different. This site compares amounts — it does not give diet or medical advice. Sources and limits.
What is being compared
This page compares peach and nectarine as USDA FoodData Central lists them: “Peaches, yellow, raw” (FDC 169928) and “Nectarines, raw” (FDC 169914). All figures start from 100 grams of the edible part.
Per 100 grams
Per 100 grams, peach has more sugars (8.4 vs 7.9 g) and vitamin C (6.6 vs 5.4 mg). Nectarine has more calories (44 vs 39 kcal), protein (1.1 vs 0.91 g), fat (0.32 vs 0.25 g), saturated fat (0.03 vs 0.02 g, 1.5 times as much), carbohydrate (10.6 vs 9.5 g), fiber (1.7 vs 1.5 g), potassium (201 vs 190 mg), iron (0.28 vs 0.25 mg) and vitamin A (17 vs 16 µg). They are within 3% of each other for cholesterol, sodium, calcium and magnesium.

Per serving
A serving as USDA measures it is 1 medium (2-2/3" dia) of peach (150 g) and 1 medium (2-1/2" dia) of nectarine (142 g). The two servings weigh about the same, so the per-serving picture follows the per-100 g one closely. No nutrient changes leader when you switch from 100 g to servings. One serving is 58.5 kcal of peach against 62.5 kcal of nectarine.
For the same calories
To get 100 kcal you would eat 256 g of peach or 227 g of nectarine. At that equal energy, peach carries 2.3 g of protein and nectarine 2.4 g. Fiber per 100 kcal is 3.8 g against 3.9 g. Measured per 100 kcal instead of per 100 g, the larger amount moves for potassium (to peach) and vitamin A (to peach).
Where the calories come from
Roughly, 8% of the energy in peach comes from protein, 5% from fat and 87% from carbohydrate; for nectarine it is 9%, 6% and 86%. These shares use the general 4, 9 and 4 kcal per gram and can differ slightly from USDA's own energy factors.
Against the Daily Value
1 medium (2-2/3" dia) of peach reaches its largest shares of the Daily Value in vitamin C (11%), fiber (8%) and potassium (6%); 1 medium (2-1/2" dia) of nectarine reaches its largest shares of the Daily Value in fiber (9%), vitamin C (9%) and potassium (6%). Daily Values are the FDA label reference amounts for adults and children aged 4 and over, set around a 2,000-calorie diet; they are a yardstick for reading labels, not a target for any one person.
