AMD Radeon 8050S vs Intel Arc B370 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive gap between these two integrated graphics parts, but the comparison is complicated by the fact that the two products were tested with different benchmark suites. The AMD Radeon 8050S has two recorded benchmark results: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 65818 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 58398. The Intel Arc B370 has one recorded result in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 1184. Direct head-to-head test results are not present in the database, so the comparison rests on the differing workloads each part was subjected to.

The AMD Radeon 8050S delivers an average benchmark score of 62108 across its two tests. The Intel Arc B370 delivers an average benchmark score of 1184, reflecting the single recorded result. The AMD part sits at the 89th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Intel part sits at the 5th percentile. That percentile gap is the single most telling number in this comparison: the Radeon 8050S is positioned near the top tier of recorded graphics hardware, while the Arc B370 ranks among the lowest-performing entries in the database.

The nearest rival data reinforces this separation. The Radeon 8050S records a 0.3% advantage over the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M, whose average score is 61896. It trails the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (63693) by 2.5% and the AMD Radeon RX 7600M (63775) by 2.6%, and it sits 2.7% behind the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (63830). These are narrow margins, all within roughly three percentage points, indicating that the 8050S is clustered with a peer group of mid-to-high performance mobile and workstation GPUs.

The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, is clustered with much older hardware. It records a 1.4% advantage over the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168), but it trails the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186) by 0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190) by 0.5%, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192) by 0.7%. These deltas are also narrow, but the absolute scores are orders of magnitude lower. The Radeon 8050S average score is roughly 52 times the Arc B370 average score, a gap that no interpretation of differing benchmark workloads can plausibly close.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Radeon 8050S uses the Strix Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process at Intel. Both are integrated graphics processors with system-shared memory, but their internal configurations diverge sharply.

The AMD part fields 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units. It includes 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part fields 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operation units, with 10 ray tracing cores. In every execution resource category, the AMD part has substantially more hardware: 60% more shading units, over three times the TMUs, over three times the ROPs, and over three times the RT cores.

Clock behavior also differs. The Radeon 8050S runs at a 1295 MHz base clock and boosts to 2800 MHz. The Arc B370 runs at a 300 MHz base clock and boosts to 2400 MHz. The AMD part has a higher base clock by a wide margin and a higher boost clock by 400 MHz.

The memory subsystem for both is system-shared, with memory size, type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system-dependent. Neither part carries dedicated VRAM, and both interface with the host platform for memory access. The Radeon 8050S connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc B370 uses an integrated graphics processor interface with no dedicated bus listing.

Power and physical design differ as well. The Radeon 8050S has a TDP of 55 W and uses no power connectors, consistent with an integrated part. The Arc B370 has a TDP of 25 W and also uses no power connectors. Both are listed as IGP slot width. The Radeon 8050S die size is recorded at 308 mm², while the Arc B370 die size is unknown in the database. Transistor counts for both are unknown.

Compute throughput reflects the resource disparity. The Radeon 8050S delivers 11.47 TFLOPS FP32 and 11.47 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Arc B370 delivers 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The AMD part has nearly double the FP32 throughput, while the Intel part has slightly higher FP16 throughput thanks to its 2:1 rate. Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern: the Radeon 8050S hits 179.2 GPixel/s and 358.4 GTexel/s, while the Arc B370 hits 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity is complete on paper. Display outputs for both are portable-device dependent. The Radeon 8050S was released on 2025-01-05, and its predecessor is listed as Polaris Mobile. The Arc B370 was released on 2026-01-26, with no predecessor listed. Both parts are currently in active production. Neither part has a recorded launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon 8050S wins in rasterization throughput. Its 179.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 358.4 GTexel/s texture rate are multiples of the Arc B370's 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. The AMD part also wins in raw FP32 compute, posting 11.47 TFLOPS against 6.144 TFLOPS, which favors workloads that rely on single-precision shader math.

The Arc B370 wins in one specific compute category: FP16 throughput. Its 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio exceeds the Radeon 8050S's 11.47 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. This gives the Intel part an edge in workloads that can exploit half-precision arithmetic, though the magnitude of that advantage is modest at roughly 7%. The Intel part also draws less power, with a 25 W TDP versus 55 W for the AMD part, which may matter in thermally constrained portable devices.

The Radeon 8050S wins decisively in overall benchmark standing. Its 89th percentile placement among all GPUs contrasts with the Arc B370's 5th percentile. The average benchmark score difference is the largest single differentiator: 62108 for the AMD part versus 1184 for the Intel part. The nearest-rival fields confirm that the Radeon 8050S competes with modern mobile GPUs like the Radeon RX 7600M and Radeon Pro W6600M, while the Arc B370 competes with legacy parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD FirePro M2000.

The Radeon 8050S also wins on ray tracing resource count, with 32 RT cores versus 10 for the Arc B370. While RT core count does not directly translate to performance, the three-to-one ratio suggests a substantial advantage in ray-traced workloads. The AMD part additionally has a larger die at 308 mm², which typically accommodates more execution hardware, though the Arc B370's die size is unknown so no direct comparison is possible.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the AMD Radeon 8050S is the far stronger graphics processor. Its average benchmark score of 62108 places it at the 89th percentile of all recorded GPUs, while the Intel Arc B370's average score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile. The Radeon 8050S outperforms the Arc B370 in shading units (2048 versus 1280), texture units (128 versus 40), ROPs (64 versus 20), ray tracing cores (32 versus 10), FP32 throughput (11.47 TFLOPS versus 6.144 TFLOPS), pixel rate (179.2 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s), and texture rate (358.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s).

The Arc B370's advantages are narrower and more specialized. It delivers higher FP16 throughput at 12.29 TFLOPS versus 11.47 TFLOPS, and it consumes less power at 25 W versus 55 W. These are meaningful for specific use cases, but they do not offset the massive gap in overall graphics capability. The Arc B370's nearest rivals include the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M, parts from a much older era, while the Radeon 8050S's nearest rivals are the Radeon RX 7600M and Radeon Pro W6600M.

For users selecting between these two integrated parts, the choice depends on the workload. The Radeon 8050S is the pick for rasterized gaming, ray-traced content, and any FP32-heavy compute task. The Arc B370 is the pick only for FP16-heavy workloads where its 2:1 ratio provides a slight throughput advantage, or for systems where the 25 W power draw is a hard constraint. The benchmark data does not show any scenario where the Arc B370 approaches the Radeon 8050S in overall graphics performance.
