AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs Intel Arc B370 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark in the database is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 2310, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184. That is a 95.1% advantage for the AMD card. In practical terms, the RX 7600 is nearly twice as fast in this DirectX 12 workload, which stresses modern rendering features including ray tracing and mesh shading.

The AMD card also has a much broader benchmark footprint. The database records ten separate scores for the RX 7600, including Geekbench OpenCL at 88051, Geekbench Vulkan at 34401, Passmark G3D at 16634, and Passmark GPU Compute at 8790. The Intel Arc B370 has only a single recorded benchmark result, the 3Dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. With no additional data points for the Intel part, the comparison is necessarily limited to what the shared test reveals.

The average benchmark score tells a similar story. The RX 7600 averages 15171 across all recorded tests, while the Arc B370 averages 1184. The RX 7600 sits in the 57th percentile of all GPUs in the database, whereas the Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile. That gap of 52 percentile points indicates a massive difference in overall positioning.

The nearest rivals for each card further contextualize these numbers. The RX 7600's closest competitors are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM at 15199 (0.2% higher), the AMD Radeon 680M at 15270 (0.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon Pro 560X at 15082 (0.6% lower). The Arc B370's nearest rivals are far older parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 (0.7% higher). The RX 7600 competes with modern entry-level discrete GPUs; the Arc B370 is bracketed by integrated and legacy mobile parts from over a decade ago.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two GPUs is substantial. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel. The AMD part is a discrete graphics card; the Intel part is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) designed for mobile Panther Lake systems.

Transistor counts and die sizes are only recorded for the AMD card. The RX 7600 contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The Arc B370's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, so no direct comparison is possible for those metrics.

The compute resource allocation differs sharply. The RX 7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. The AMD card has 60% more shading units, 220% more TMUs, 220% more ROPs, and 220% more ray tracing cores.

Clock behavior also diverges. The RX 7600 runs at a 1720 MHz base clock, a 2250 MHz game clock, and a 2655 MHz boost clock. The Arc B370 has a 300 MHz base clock and a 2400 MHz boost clock, with no game clock listed. The RX 7600's base clock is nearly six times higher, though the boost clocks are closer. The memory subsystem is fundamentally different: the RX 7600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc B370 uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

Rasterization and compute throughput numbers reflect these differences. The RX 7600 delivers 169.9 GPixel/s pixel rate, 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate, and 21.75 TFLOPS FP32. The Arc B370 delivers 48.00 GPixel/s, 96.00 GTexel/s, and 6.144 TFLOPS FP32. The FP16 ratio also differs: the RX 7600 runs FP16 at 1:1 with FP32 (21.75 TFLOPS), while the Arc B370 runs FP16 at 2:1 (12.29 TFLOPS), meaning the Intel part doubles its throughput on half-precision workloads.

Power and physical design are polar opposites. The RX 7600 has a 165 W TDP, is dual-slot, requires a single 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 450 W power supply. The Arc B370 has a 25 W TDP, is an IGP with no slot width, requires no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU. The RX 7600 measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height; the Arc B370 has no recorded dimensions because it is integrated into a processor package.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 wins the only directly comparable benchmark, and it wins by a wide margin. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RX 7600's 2310 score beats the Arc B370's 1184 by 95.1%. This test is a modern DirectX 12 workload, so the result indicates a clear advantage in current-generation gaming and compute scenarios.

The RX 7600 also wins on raw compute throughput. Its 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 is more than triple the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS. For FP16 workloads, the RX 7600's 21.75 TFLOPS still beats the Arc B370's 12.29 TFLOPS, despite the Intel part's 2:1 FP16 ratio. Texture and pixel fill rates similarly favor the AMD card by roughly 3.5x and 3.5x respectively.

Memory bandwidth is a decisive factor. The RX 7600's dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth provides consistent, predictable performance. The Arc B370's system shared memory is system dependent, meaning performance varies with the host platform's memory configuration. This is a fundamental structural disadvantage for the Intel part in bandwidth-sensitive workloads.

The Arc B370 has the advantage in power efficiency. At 25 W TDP versus 165 W, the Intel part consumes far less power. However, the performance per watt is not recorded in the database, so a direct efficiency ratio cannot be computed. The Arc B370 also has the advantage of requiring no additional hardware: it is an IGP with no power connectors and no dedicated slot. For a portable device, that integration is a significant practical benefit.

The Arc B370's FP16 throughput advantage relative to its FP32 rate is notable. The 2:1 ratio means the Intel architecture can process half-precision data at twice its single-precision rate, which could benefit certain AI inference or compute workloads that use FP16. The RX 7600's 1:1 ratio means it does not gain this headroom.

The Verdict

The data clearly separates these two products. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a discrete desktop GPU designed for mainstream gaming. Its 95.1% lead in the shared 3DMark test, its 15171 average benchmark score, and its 57th percentile ranking all point to a part that delivers modern gaming performance. The nearest rivals for the RX 7600, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM with a 0.2% delta and the AMD Radeon 680M with a 0.7% delta, confirm that it sits in a familiar entry-level discrete GPU tier.

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated GPU for Panther Lake mobile processors. Its 5th percentile ranking and nearest rivals from the ATI HD 5000 and 7000 series eras indicate that it is not positioned as a gaming part. The 25 W TDP, system shared memory, and IGP form factor make its purpose clear: it exists to provide basic graphics output for portable devices, not to compete with discrete GPUs.

The choice between them is straightforward. For a desktop system with a dedicated graphics slot, a 450 W PSU, and an 8-pin connector, the RX 7600 delivers roughly double the 3DMark Steel Nomad score of the Arc B370. For a thin-and-light laptop or a device where power draw and physical footprint matter above all, the Arc B370 is the only option that fits, since it is integrated into the processor itself.

The RX 7600 wins on every measured performance metric in the database: shading units, TMUs, ROPs, ray tracing cores, texture rate, pixel rate, FP32 throughput, and FP16 throughput. It also has the advantage of dedicated VRAM with known bandwidth. The Arc B370 wins only on power consumption and integration simplicity, with no recorded performance benchmark other than the single 3DMark result where it trails by 95.1%.
