Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename "Wheat Nas." It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². This is a discrete, dual-slot add-in card with a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface.

The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, belonging to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel, though its transistor count, die size, and transistor density are recorded as unknown in the database. This is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no slot width, no power connectors, and no dedicated bus interface beyond the IGP designation.

The AMD GPU features 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 54 ray tracing cores. The Intel GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. Neither part lists tensor cores in the database.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The AMD card has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part uses system shared memory, with system-dependent bandwidth and no dedicated VRAM. The AMD card runs memory at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the Intel part has no dedicated memory clock.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card offers display outputs including 1x HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C, while the Intel part's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT delivers an average benchmark score of 22549, which places it in the 67th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile, RTX 4060 Mobile, RTX 2080, and AMD Radeon RX 5700, all within a 2% margin. This indicates the RX 7700 XT competes in the mid-to-high desktop and high-end mobile GPU tier.

The Intel Arc B370, with an average score of 1184, sits in the 5th percentile. Its nearest rivals are legacy parts like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and ATI Radeon HD 5770, which are separated by less than 1%. The B370 is an integrated solution with a 25 W TDP, system shared memory, and no dedicated power connectors. It is positioned for low-power, portable devices rather than desktop gaming.

For users selecting between these two, the choice depends entirely on the platform. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a discrete desktop GPU with a 245 W TDP, dual-slot cooler, and 12 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory. It requires a 550 W PSU and two 8-pin connectors. The Intel Arc B370 is an IGP with a 25 W TDP, no power connectors, and shared system memory. The data does not support any scenario where the Intel part outperforms the AMD card in raw graphics benchmarks.

The single shared benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, shows the AMD card scoring 3316 versus 1184 for the Intel part, a 180.1% advantage. No benchmark in the database shows the Intel Arc B370 winning against the RX 7700 XT.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one head-to-head benchmark result: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. In this test, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 3316, and the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184. The AMD card wins with a delta of 180.1%. This is the only shared test, so all other performance comparisons rely on average benchmark scores across different test suites.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT also has a broader benchmark footprint. It records scores in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 (3316), Geekbench OpenCL (138383), Geekbench Vulkan (46443), Passmark DirectX 10 (119), Passmark DirectX 11 (232), Passmark DirectX 12 (79), Passmark DirectX 9 (294), Passmark G2D (1161), Passmark G3D (22547), and Passmark GPU Compute (12912). The Intel Arc B370 only has the single 3DMark Steel Nomad result.

The average benchmark score for the AMD part is 22549, which is 180.1% higher than the Intel part's average of 1184. The percentile ranking reinforces this: AMD sits at 67, Intel at 5. The AMD card's nearest rivals are all within 2% of its average score, indicating tight competition with the RTX 5060 Mobile, RTX 4060 Mobile, RTX 2080, and RX 5700. The Intel card's nearest rivals are all within 1.5%, but those rivals are legacy ATI parts from over a decade ago.

In terms of compute capabilities, the AMD card delivers 35.17 TFLOPS FP32 and 35.17 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). The Intel card delivers 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The AMD card has 5.7 times the FP32 throughput.

The AMD card also has 4.5 times the pixel rate (244.2 vs 48.00 GPixel/s) and 5.7 times the texture rate (549.5 vs 96.00 GTexel/s). Memory bandwidth is not directly comparable since the Intel part relies on system shared memory, but the AMD card's 432.0 GB/s is a dedicated figure.

The data shows a single winner in all recorded comparisons. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT wins the sole head-to-head benchmark, has a higher average score, a higher percentile ranking, and superior specifications in every measurable category except process node (Intel uses a smaller 3 nm node) and power draw (Intel uses far less at 25 W versus 245 W).
