Intel Arc A370M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the Intel Arc A370M occupy opposite ends of the performance spectrum, yet both appear in the same benchmark database with surprisingly close overall percentile rankings. The NVIDIA card sits at the 76th percentile among all GPUs, while the Intel part holds the 74th percentile, a gap that seems narrow until the raw scores are examined. The data reveals a desktop flagship and a mobile entry-level part that share API support but diverge completely in execution resources and performance output.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head benchmark data shows a clean sweep for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which wins both recorded tests. The largest margin comes in Geekbench OpenCL, where the NVIDIA card scores 199,267 against Intel’s 29,676, a delta of 571.5%. In Geekbench Vulkan, the NVIDIA part scores 53,683 versus 28,673 for the Intel Arc A370M, a 87.2% advantage. There are no benchmark categories in the data where the Intel part comes out ahead.

The Intel Arc A370M’s only comparative strength is its efficiency profile, which is not captured in the benchmark scores but is visible in the specification data. The Intel part carries a 35 W TDP, while the NVIDIA card is rated at 285 W. The Intel GPU is also an IGP (integrated graphics processor) in terms of slot width, meaning it is designed for compact mobile systems with no separate power connectors. The NVIDIA card is a triple-slot design requiring a 16-pin power connector and a 600 W suggested PSU.

For users looking at raw compute output, the NVIDIA card wins in every measured dimension: FP32 performance is 44.10 TFLOPS versus 4.198 TFLOPS, texture rate is 689.0 GTexel/s versus 131.2 GTexel/s, and pixel rate is 250.6 GPixel/s versus 65.60 GPixel/s. The Intel part does have one unique feature in the data: its FP16 throughput is 8.397 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, whereas the NVIDIA FP16 rate matches its FP32 at 44.10 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. This means the Intel architecture can double its rate for half-precision work, while the NVIDIA part already processes both at the same speed.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear verdict: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the choice for any workload that prioritizes raw performance, high-resolution rendering, or compute throughput. Its benchmark scores are decisively higher, with the smallest win margin still being 87.2% in Vulkan. The Intel Arc A370M wins on power draw and physical footprint, but the data does not include any performance test where it beats the NVIDIA card.

For a user constrained to a 35 W power envelope in a portable device, the Intel Arc A370M is the only viable option in this comparison, since the NVIDIA card demands 285 W and a discrete power connector. However, any workload that can accommodate the NVIDIA card’s power and space requirements will see a massive performance benefit. The average benchmark score of 31,087 for the NVIDIA card versus 29,175 for the Intel part understates the gap because the averages are drawn from different test sets; the head-to-head tests show the true magnitude of the difference.

The nearest rivals for each card reinforce this split. The NVIDIA card’s closest competitors are the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31206, -0.4%), NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31220, -0.4%), NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31532, -1.4%), and NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31676, -1.9%). The Intel card’s nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH (29197, -0.1%), AMD FirePro W8000 (29211, -0.1%), AMD Radeon RX 470 (28996, 0.6%), and AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28874, 1%). The Intel part is competitive with these older or mobile-focused AMD parts, but it is not in the same class as the NVIDIA desktop GPU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Geekbench OpenCL test produces the most dramatic separation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 199,267, which is 571.5% higher than the Intel Arc A370M’s 29,676. This test stresses general-purpose compute across the GPU’s shading units, and the NVIDIA card has 8,448 shading units versus 1,024 on the Intel part. The NVIDIA card also has 264 TMUs and 96 ROPs, compared to 64 TMUs and 32 ROPs on the Intel GPU. The sheer resource advantage translates directly into the score difference.

The Geekbench Vulkan test is closer but still one-sided. The NVIDIA card scores 53,683 against 28,673 for the Intel part, a 87.2% delta. Vulkan is a lower-level graphics API, and the Intel part’s Xe-HPG architecture is designed to handle it, but the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace implementation with 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores provides more specialized hardware. The NVIDIA card also has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 672.3 GB/s, whereas the Intel part has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus delivering 112.0 GB/s. Memory bandwidth alone explains a large portion of the Vulkan gap.

The PassMark tests appear only for the NVIDIA card in the data, so no direct comparison is possible there. The NVIDIA card scores 31,811 in PassMark G3D and 18,372 in PassMark GPU Compute, with smaller scores in the DX9 (360), DX11 (278), DX10 (181), and DX12 (119) tests. The Intel part has no PassMark entries, which means the database has not recorded those results for it.
