AMD Radeon 8050S vs Intel Arc Pro B370 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Radeon 8050S and Intel Arc Pro B370 as fundamentally different mobile graphics solutions. The Radeon 8050S delivers an average benchmark score of 62108, placing it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs, while the Arc Pro B370 holds no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. The Radeon 8050S is the clear performance leader based on all available measurements, with a 55 W TDP compared to the Arc Pro B370's 25 W TDP. The Arc Pro B370, however, operates at less than half the power draw, which positions it as the more efficient option for thermally constrained or battery-focused portable devices.

The Radeon 8050S uses the Strix Halo chip with RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Arc Pro B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process by Intel. The Radeon 8050S is the only one of the two with any recorded benchmark data, and it shows a 0.3% advantage over the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M in the nearest rival comparisons. The core configuration heavily favors the Radeon 8050S: 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores versus the Arc Pro B370's 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores.

The Radeon 8050S is the choice for workloads requiring maximum compute throughput, as its 11.47 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 358.4 GTexel/s texture rate dwarf the Arc Pro B370's 6.144 TFLOPS and 96.00 GTexel/s. The Arc Pro B370 counters with a 2:1 FP16 ratio, delivering 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 performance, which exceeds the Radeon 8050S's 11.47 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. This makes the Arc Pro B370 a specialized option for FP16-heavy tasks, though its overall compute package remains smaller. The Radeon 8050S also carries a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Arc Pro B370 relies on an integrated IGP interface. Both use shared system memory, and both are IGP slot width designs with no power connectors.

Architecture Differences

The Radeon 8050S is built on the Strix Halo chip using RDNA 3.5 architecture, part of the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation. Its die size is 308 mm², fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Arc Pro B370 is built on the Panther Lake chip using Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-WM (Panther Lake) generation, with an unknown die size and a 3 nm process at Intel. The Radeon 8050S has a predecessor listed as Polaris Mobile, while the Arc Pro B370's predecessor is HD Graphics-WM.

The RDNA 3.5 architecture in the Radeon 8050S deploys 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Xe3-LPG architecture in the Arc Pro B370 deploys 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. These counts indicate that the Radeon 8050S is designed for higher throughput in conventional rasterization and ray tracing workloads, while the Arc Pro B370's smaller configuration suggests a focus on power efficiency within the Panther Lake integrated design.

The Radeon 8050S uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, providing a direct external connection path. The Arc Pro B370 uses an IGP bus interface, reflecting its role as an integrated graphics processor. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature support is identical. The Radeon 8050S has a release date of 2025-01-05, while the Arc Pro B370 has a release date of 2026-01-26, indicating a later introduction for the Intel part. Both are listed as Active in production status.

Specification Differences

The clock speeds differ substantially. The Radeon 8050S has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz. The Arc Pro B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The Radeon 8050S therefore has a higher base clock by 995 MHz and a higher boost clock by 400 MHz.

The pixel and texture rates follow the core count differences. The Radeon 8050S produces 179.2 GPixel/s and 358.4 GTexel/s. The Arc Pro B370 produces 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. The Radeon 8050S is 131.2 GPixel/s faster in pixel throughput and 262.4 GTexel/s faster in texture throughput.

The FP32 compute rates are 11.47 TFLOPS for the Radeon 8050S and 6.144 TFLOPS for the Arc Pro B370. The FP16 rates diverge in ratio: the Radeon 8050S achieves 11.47 TFLOPS at 1:1, while the Arc Pro B370 achieves 12.29 TFLOPS at 2:1. This means the Intel part has a higher raw FP16 figure despite having a lower FP32 figure.

Power consumption is a major differentiator. The Radeon 8050S is rated at 55 W TDP, while the Arc Pro B370 is rated at 25 W TDP. The Arc Pro B370 draws 30 W less, making it significantly more power-efficient in terms of the thermal envelope. Both are IGP slot width, both use no power connectors, and both have Portable Device Dependent display outputs.

The manufacturing process differs: TSMC 4 nm for the Radeon 8050S versus Intel 3 nm for the Arc Pro B370. The die size is 308 mm² for the Radeon 8050S and unknown for the Arc Pro B370. Transistor counts are unknown for both. Neither has a launch MSRP in the database. The Radeon 8050S has a percentile rank of 89 among all GPUs, while the Arc Pro B370 has a percentile rank of 50.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs. The Radeon 8050S, however, has recorded results in two benchmark tests: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 65818 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 58398. The Arc Pro B370 has an empty benchmarks array, meaning no recorded scores exist for any test. The absence of Arc Pro B370 data prevents a direct matched comparison, but the available metrics still establish a clear performance hierarchy.

The Radeon 8050S's average benchmark score of 62108 is the central performance figure. Its nearest rivals in the database are all AMD parts: the Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 (0.3% behind), the Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 (2.5% ahead), the Radeon RX 7600M at 63775 (2.6% ahead), and the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP at 63830 (2.7% ahead). These deltas show that the Radeon 8050S sits in a tight competitive cluster, trailing the top of that group by less than 3% while edging out the Radeon Pro W6600M by 0.3%.

The Arc Pro B370's 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 0 due to the lack of recorded results. The Radeon 8050S's 89th percentile ranking places it well above the median, indicating that its measured performance belongs to the upper tier of all GPUs. In practical terms, the Radeon 8050S's FP32 throughput of 11.47 TFLOPS is 86.7% higher than the Arc Pro B370's 6.144 TFLOPS, and its texture rate of 358.4 GTexel/s is 273.3% higher than the Arc Pro B370's 96.00 GTexel/s.

The one area where the Arc Pro B370 leads is FP16 compute, where its 12.29 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio exceeds the Radeon 8050S's 11.47 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio by 7.1%. This advantage comes from the architecture's native FP16 throughput, which doubles its FP32 rate. The Radeon 8050S's 1:1 FP16 ratio means it does not gain additional throughput for FP16 operations. For workloads that rely heavily on FP16 arithmetic, the Arc Pro B370 could deliver competitive throughput despite its smaller overall core count.

The Radeon 8050S's pixel rate of 179.2 GPixel/s is 273.3% higher than the Arc Pro B370's 48.00 GPixel/s, which directly impacts fill-rate-bound scenarios. Its 32 ray tracing cores versus 10 give it a 3.2x advantage in ray tracing hardware. The Radeon 8050S also supports a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the Arc Pro B370 is limited to an IGP bus interface, which affects how each connects to the rest of the system. Both share system memory, so bandwidth is System Dependent for both, leaving actual performance tied to the host platform's memory subsystem.

The launch timeline also differs: the Radeon 8050S was released on 2025-01-05, and the Arc Pro B370 on 2026-01-26. The Radeon 8050S's earlier release and established benchmark presence contrast with the Arc Pro B370's later release and lack of recorded results. The data indicates that the Radeon 8050S is the higher-performing part by a wide margin in most metrics, while the Arc Pro B370 offers a lower-power alternative with a specialized FP16 advantage and a more advanced 3 nm manufacturing process.
