AMD Radeon 8040S vs Intel Arc Pro B370 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Radeon 8040S is a fully characterized mobile GPU with a complete benchmark profile, while the Intel Arc Pro B370 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, resulting in an average benchmark score of 0. The AMD part holds a 17th percentile ranking among all GPUs, whereas the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile, but this percentile is derived from hardware specifications rather than measured performance data.

For users selecting strictly from the available measurements, the AMD Radeon 8040S is the only option with verified performance numbers. Its PassMark G3D score of 10578 and GPU compute score of 5138 provide concrete data points. The Intel Arc Pro B370, by contrast, offers no measured results, so any performance assessment must remain qualitative. The data indicates that the AMD part should be chosen when benchmark verification matters. The Intel part remains an unknown quantity in the database, with its 50th percentile ranking reflecting its architectural position rather than any tested outcome.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge significantly in their fundamental design parameters. The AMD Radeon 8040S uses the Strix Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die size is recorded at 308 mm². The Intel Arc Pro B370 uses the Panther Lake chip on Xe3-LPG architecture, produced on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry, with an unknown die size.

Shader configuration differs notably. The AMD part carries 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. The Intel part has 1280 shading units, which is 25% more, but only 40 TMUs and 20 ROPs. This creates an interesting split: Intel has more raw shader throughput potential, while AMD has more texture and pixel processing hardware.

Ray tracing hardware also differs. AMD integrates 16 RT cores, while Intel has 10. Neither part includes tensor cores in the recorded data. Clock behavior shows a substantial divergence. The AMD Radeon 8040S runs at a 1295 MHz base clock with a 2800 MHz boost. The Intel Arc Pro B370 has a 300 MHz base clock and a 2400 MHz boost. The AMD part's boost clock is 400 MHz higher, which partially compensates for its lower shader count in raw throughput calculations.

Memory architecture is shared in both cases: system shared memory, system dependent bandwidth, and no dedicated VRAM. Both are integrated graphics processors with no power connectors and an IGP slot width. The AMD part uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part lists its bus interface simply as IGP.

Power consumption differs by more than a factor of two. The AMD Radeon 8040S has a 55 W TDP, while the Intel Arc Pro B370 draws only 25 W. This makes the Intel part substantially more power efficient on paper, though the AMD part delivers higher pixel and texture rates. The AMD GPU achieves 89.60 GPixel/s and 179.2 GTexel/s, while the Intel GPU reaches 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. AMD leads in both metrics by roughly 87% in pixel rate and 87% in texture rate.

Compute throughput presents a more nuanced picture. The AMD part delivers 5.734 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 operations at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part provides 6.144 TFLOPS FP32, which is 7% higher, and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, which is 114% higher than AMD's FP16 output. The Intel architecture clearly favors half-precision workloads.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD Radeon 8040S released on 2025-01-05, and the Intel Arc Pro B370 is dated 2026-01-26, making it roughly a year newer. Both are listed as Active production status. The AMD part's predecessor is Polaris Mobile, while Intel's predecessor is HD Graphics-WM.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs, and the Intel Arc Pro B370 has an empty benchmark array. The only measurable comparisons come from the AMD Radeon 8040S's own benchmark results and its nearest rival list.

The AMD Radeon 8040S records a PassMark G3D score of 10578. Its PassMark GPU compute score is 5138. In legacy DirectX tests, it scores 134 in DirectX 9, 80 in DirectX 11, 48 in DirectX 10, and 47 in DirectX 12. The G2D score is 1052. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 2440.

The Intel Arc Pro B370 has no scores in any of these categories. The database records its average benchmark score as 0. This absence of data means no direct numerical comparison is possible for any specific workload.

The AMD part's nearest rivals provide context for its performance tier. The NVIDIA GeForce 710M has an average score of 2433, which is 0.3% lower than the AMD part. The Intel HD Graphics 610 scores 2425, 0.6% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M scores 2422, 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 7400 scores 2467, which is 1.1% higher than the 8040S. These deltas place the Radeon 8040S in a narrow performance band, within roughly one percent of its closest competitors.

The 17th percentile ranking for the AMD part indicates it sits below the majority of all GPUs in the database. The Intel part's 50th percentile, despite lacking benchmark data, suggests its architectural specifications place it at the median of all recorded GPUs. This discrepancy between measured and specification-based ranking is the central tension in this comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8040S wins in every category where measured data exists. Its pixel rate of 89.60 GPixel/s and texture rate of 179.2 GTexel/s dominate the Intel part's 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. The AMD GPU also has more texture mapping units (64 versus 40), more raster output units (32 versus 20), and more ray tracing cores (16 versus 10). Its boost clock of 2800 MHz exceeds Intel's 2400 MHz boost by 400 MHz. The AMD part is the only one with verified benchmark results, including a PassMark G3D score of 10578 and a GPU compute score of 5138.

The Intel Arc Pro B370 wins on architectural efficiency and compute ratios. Its 1280 shading units outnumber AMD's 1024 by 25%. Its FP32 throughput of 6.144 TFLOPS exceeds AMD's 5.734 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance of 12.29 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio is more than double AMD's 5.734 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part also consumes 25 W versus AMD's 55 W, which makes it the more power-conscious choice. Its 3 nm process node is a full generation ahead of AMD's 4 nm node, and its 50th percentile ranking in the database is substantially higher than AMD's 17th percentile, though this ranking is not backed by measured scores.

For legacy DirectX workloads, the AMD part's scores show a clear pattern: 134 in DirectX 9, 80 in DirectX 11, 48 in DirectX 10, and 47 in DirectX 12. The Intel part has no comparable data. For half-precision compute tasks, the Intel architecture holds a decisive advantage on paper. For rasterization-heavy workloads with high texture and pixel demands, the AMD part has the hardware resources and the measured results to support its position. The database currently supports only one fully verified option, and that is the AMD Radeon 8040S.
