AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE vs Intel Arc B370 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a single direct head-to-head benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE and the Intel Arc B370: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this test, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 5424 points, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 points. The AMD part wins by a delta of 358.1%, a massive margin that reflects the fundamental difference in positioning between the two products.

To contextualize the AMD result, the database places the RX 9070 GRE in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 57367. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Arc A580, which averages 57756 (a 0.7% difference), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58085 (1.2% higher), the Intel Arc A570M at 58239 (1.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at 58392 (1.8% higher). These deltas are all within roughly two percent, indicating the RX 9070 GRE sits in a tightly contested performance cluster, trading blows with those cards rather than dominating them.

The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, sits at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 1184, equal to its single recorded Steel Nomad result. Its 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), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168 (1.4% lower). The Arc B370's performance level is comparable to those legacy components, placing it in an entirely different performance tier from the RX 9070 GRE.

In the single head-to-head, the AMD card delivers roughly 4.6 times the raw score of the Intel part. The delta of 358.1% is not a marginal gap; it is an order-of-magnitude separation. The RX 9070 GRE's 34.28 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 432.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth dwarf the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS and system-dependent shared memory bandwidth. The benchmark results confirm that these two GPUs are not competitors in any practical sense; they serve completely different market segments.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE wins the only head-to-head benchmark recorded, with a 358.1% higher score than the Intel Arc B370. The RX 9070 GRE also holds a 97th percentile rank versus the Arc B370's 5th percentile, and its average benchmark score of 57367 is nearly 50 times higher than the Arc B370's 1184.

The RX 9070 GRE is a discrete, dual-slot graphics card with its own 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, a 220 W TDP, and two 8-pin power connectors. It launched on May 7, 2025, with a 549 USD launch MSRP. Its performance profile places it in the upper tier of the database, competitive with cards like the RX 6950 XT and the Arc A580.

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Panther Lake chip. It has no dedicated memory, sharing system memory instead, with a 25 W TDP and no power connectors. It launched later, on January 26, 2026. Its performance level is comparable to integrated or very old discrete GPUs, as its nearest rivals are the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and similar parts from over a decade ago.

Strictly from the data, the choice is clear. Anyone selecting between these two for a build that requires dedicated graphics performance should pick the RX 9070 GRE. The Arc B370 is suitable only for systems where integrated graphics are acceptable, such as low-power portable devices, and even then, the benchmark data shows it delivers minimal 3D performance. There is no scenario in the recorded data where the Arc B370 outperforms the RX 9070 GRE.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE uses a Navi 48 chip on a 4 nm TSMC process, with 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die. The Intel Arc B370 uses a Panther Lake chip on a 3 nm Intel process, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown in the database.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The RX 9070 GRE has a base clock of 1420 MHz, a boost clock of 2790 MHz, and a game clock of 2220 MHz. The Arc B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with no game clock listed. Memory clocks also differ: the RX 9070 GRE runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the Arc B370's memory clock is listed as System Shared.

Memory configuration is a major differentiator. The RX 9070 GRE has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, yielding 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc B370 has no dedicated memory, using System Shared memory with System Dependent bandwidth.

Compute resources scale accordingly. The RX 9070 GRE has 3072 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 48 ray tracing cores. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. Pixel and texture rates reflect this: the RX 9070 GRE delivers 267.8 GPixel/s and 535.7 GTexel/s, while the Arc B370 delivers 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s.

The physical and power profiles are also distinct. The RX 9070 GRE is a dual-slot card with 2x 8-pin power connectors and a 220 W TDP, with a suggested PSU of 550 W. The Arc B370 is an IGP with a 25 W TDP, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The RX 9070 GRE uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Arc B370 uses an IGP bus interface. Display outputs differ as well: the RX 9070 GRE has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1a, while the Arc B370's outputs are Portable Device Dependent.

The RX 9070 GRE launched on May 7, 2025, with a 549 USD launch MSRP. The Arc B370 launched on January 26, 2026, with no launch MSRP recorded. The RX 9070 GRE's predecessor is listed as Navi III, while the Arc B370 has no predecessor listed.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide is fundamental. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, part of the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC. The Intel Arc B370 uses Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation, on a 3 nm process from Intel.

The RX 9070 GRE's RDNA 4.0 design includes 48 ray tracing cores and a 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, meaning both FP16 and FP32 throughput are 34.28 TFLOPS. The Arc B370's Xe3-LPG design includes 10 ray tracing cores and a 2:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, giving it 12.29 TFLOPS of FP16 against 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32. This indicates the Intel part processes half-precision at twice the rate of single-precision, while the AMD part does not differentiate.

The RX 9070 GRE has 53,900 million transistors packed into a 357 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 151.0 million transistors per square millimeter. The Arc B370's transistor count, die size, and density are all unknown in the database.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity exists at the software level. However, the hardware implementation differs significantly. The RX 9070 GRE is a discrete card with its own VRAM and high-bandwidth memory bus, while the Arc B370 relies on shared system memory, which inherently limits memory bandwidth and latency.

The RX 9070 GRE's power envelope of 220 W allows for aggressive clock speeds and sustained performance. The Arc B370's 25 W TDP is suited for integrated use in portable devices, where power efficiency is prioritized over raw throughput. The architectural choices reflect these constraints: the AMD part is built for maximum performance, while the Intel part is built for minimal power draw in a shared-memory environment.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE wins the only benchmark category recorded: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, with 5424 points versus the Arc B370's 1184, a 358.1% advantage. It also wins on every compute and memory metric in the database. Its FP32 throughput of 34.28 TFLOPS is over five times the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 267.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 535.7 GTexel/s dwarf the Arc B370's 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. Its 432.0 GB/s of dedicated memory bandwidth is not comparable to the Arc B370's system-dependent shared memory.

The RX 9070 GRE is positioned for high-end desktop gaming and demanding workloads. Its 87th percentile rank and its proximity to the RX 6950 XT (within 1.8%) and Intel Arc A580 (within 0.7%) indicate it competes with those established discrete GPUs. Its 12 GB of VRAM and PCIe 5.0 x16 interface make it suitable for modern titles and content creation.

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP versus the RX 9070 GRE's 220 W means it draws far less power, and its IGP form factor requires no slot, no power connectors, and no dedicated PSU recommendation. It is designed for portable devices, as its display outputs are listed as Portable Device Dependent. Its 3 nm process node from Intel is more advanced than the RX 9070 GRE's 4 nm TSMC node, though the database does not record transistor counts for the Intel part to compare density.

For use cases involving sustained 3D rendering, gaming at high settings, or compute-heavy tasks, the RX 9070 GRE is the only viable choice based on the data. For ultra-low-power integrated systems where 3D performance is secondary, the Arc B370 has a role, but its 5th percentile rank and closest rival being the ATI Radeon HD 5770 indicate it delivers legacy-level performance. The recorded data shows no benchmark where the Arc B370 leads; the RX 9070 GRE wins the head-to-head outright.
