Intel Arc A370M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive picture: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins both recorded head-to-head tests, and it wins them by a substantial margin. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the NVIDIA part scores 143,870 against Intel's 29,676, a delta of 384.8%. The Vulkan result is nearly identical in scale, with NVIDIA at 139,213 and Intel at 28,673, a 385.5% difference. These are not close calls; the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers roughly five times the raw compute performance in both APIs.

Looking at the broader database context, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's average benchmark score of 35,435 places it at the 80th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (average score 35,520, a 0.2% gap), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35,860, 1.2% higher), the NVIDIA A2 (34,690, 2.1% lower), and the NVIDIA T1000 (36,289, 2.4% higher). This clustering suggests the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits in a tightly contested performance band, yet it still outperforms the Intel Arc A370M by a wide margin. The Intel part, by contrast, averages 29,175 and sits at the 74th percentile, with rivals like the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH (29,197, 0.1% higher) and the AMD FirePro W8000 (29,211, 0.1% higher) essentially matching it, while the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28,996, 0.6% lower) and AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28,874, 1% lower) trail slightly.

The delta between the two is also visible in their individual benchmark suites. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has nine recorded benchmarks, including PassMark DirectX 10 (151), DirectX 11 (237), DirectX 12 (102), DirectX 9 (259), G2D (981), G3D (24,004), and GPU Compute (10,101). The Arc A370M has only two recorded tests, both Geekbench, so its database footprint is thinner. Nevertheless, the head-to-head data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA part wins 2, the Intel part wins 0.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is as wide as the benchmark gap. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB205 chip, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 31,100 million transistors into a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3 million per mm². The Intel Arc A370M uses the Xe-HPG architecture on the DG2-128 chip, also from TSMC but on a 6 nm process. It contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip is larger, denser, and built on a more advanced node.

The compute resources differ dramatically. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. It also features 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores. The Arc A370M has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with 8 ray tracing cores and no listed tensor cores. The NVIDIA part offers more than five times the shading units, nearly three times the TMUs, and 2.5 times the ROPs. Its FP32 throughput is 17.04 TFLOPS, while the Intel part manages 4.198 TFLOPS. For FP16, the NVIDIA part again hits 17.04 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, whereas the Intel part achieves 8.397 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning the NVIDIA GPU also has a decisive advantage in half-precision work.

Memory configurations reinforce the separation. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc A370M uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, capping at 112.0 GB/s. That is a sixfold bandwidth advantage for NVIDIA. The clock speeds tell a different story: the Intel part runs higher, with a base of 1550 MHz and a boost of 2050 MHz, while the NVIDIA part runs a base of 847 MHz and a boost of 1447 MHz. The NVIDIA GPU compensates with far more parallel hardware, so its lower clocks still yield far higher throughput. The memory clocks are similar in base frequency (1750 MHz for both), but the effective data rates differ: 28 Gbps for NVIDIA versus 14 Gbps for Intel.

The PCIe interface also differs: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc A370M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is not a differentiator. The NVIDIA part draws 60 W, while the Intel part draws 35 W, though both are classified as IGP (integrated graphics package) with portable-device-dependent outputs.

The Verdict

The data points to one conclusion for anyone prioritizing raw performance: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is in a different class. It wins both head-to-head benchmarks by margins near 385%, and its average benchmark score is about 21% higher than the Intel Arc A370M's (35,435 versus 29,175). The NVIDIA GPU also holds a higher percentile rank, 80th versus 74th, meaning it outperforms a larger share of the GPU population. For compute-heavy tasks, the FP32 and FP16 throughput advantages (17.04 TFLOPS versus 4.198 TFLOPS, and 17.04 versus 8.397) make the NVIDIA part the obvious choice.

However, the Intel part is not without its own profile. Its lower 35 W TDP suggests it may fit into thinner, lighter laptops with less aggressive cooling. Its higher boost clock of 2050 MHz relative to NVIDIA's 1447 MHz indicates a different design philosophy: fewer cores running faster. The Arc A370M also has a smaller die and lower transistor count, which could matter for cost and power efficiency in a way the database does not directly measure. But from a pure performance standpoint, the recorded data shows no scenario where the Intel GPU wins.

The production statuses differ as well: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is listed as Active with a release date of 2025-02-28, while the Arc A370M is End-of-life, released 2022-03-29. This means the NVIDIA part is current-generation hardware, while the Intel part is a legacy product. The database does not list a launch MSRP for either, so no pricing comparison is possible.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a 5 nm process, while the Arc A370M uses Xe-HPG on a 6 nm process. Transistor counts are 31,100 million versus 7,200 million, and die sizes are 263 mm² versus 157 mm². Transistor density is 118.3M per mm² versus 45.9M per mm². Base clocks are 847 MHz versus 1550 MHz, and boost clocks are 1447 MHz versus 2050 MHz. Memory size is 12 GB GDDR7 versus 4 GB GDDR6, with bus widths of 192-bit versus 64-bit and bandwidths of 672.0 GB/s versus 112.0 GB/s.

Shading units number 5,888 versus 1,024, TMUs 184 versus 64, and ROPs 80 versus 32. Ray tracing cores are 46 versus 8, and tensor cores are 184 versus none listed. Pixel rates are 115.8 GPixel/s versus 65.60 GPixel/s, and texture rates are 266.2 GTexel/s versus 131.2 GTexel/s. FP32 is 17.04 TFLOPS versus 4.198 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 17.04 TFLOPS versus 8.397 TFLOPS. TDP is 60 W versus 35 W. The bus interface is PCIe 5.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8. The NVIDIA part has no power connectors listed, while the Intel part lists none as well. Both share the same API support, DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins in every benchmark category where data exists. In compute-heavy workloads measured by Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, it dominates. Its FP32 throughput of 17.04 TFLOPS versus 4.198 TFLOPS means any application relying on general-purpose shader math will favor NVIDIA. The 184 tensor cores give it a hardware path for AI and machine learning inference that the Intel part lacks entirely. The 12 GB memory capacity and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth make it suitable for large textures, high-resolution assets, and data-heavy rendering tasks. For ray tracing, the 46 RT cores versus 8 provide a clear advantage in any workload that uses DirectX Raytracing or Vulkan ray tracing extensions.

The Arc A370M has no benchmark wins in the recorded data, but its profile suggests specific niches. The 35 W TDP is lower than the NVIDIA part's 60 W, which could translate to longer battery life in a laptop, though the database does not measure battery performance. The higher boost clock of 2050 MHz versus 1447 MHz indicates the Intel GPU can reach higher instantaneous frequencies, which may help in lightly threaded or latency-sensitive scenarios, though no benchmark confirms this. The 4 GB memory is sufficient for older games or lighter workloads, and the 2:1 FP16 ratio (8.397 TFLOPS) offers some half-precision capability, though still below the NVIDIA part's 1:1 FP16 throughput.

For a user choosing between these two, the data is one-sided. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile outperforms the Arc A370M by nearly 400% in the two shared tests, holds a higher percentile rank, and offers more memory, more bandwidth, more cores, and more advanced features like tensor cores. The Intel part's only advantages are its lower power draw and its end-of-life status, which might appeal to someone seeking a legacy or low-power option. But the recorded benchmarks show no scenario where the Arc A370M comes out ahead. The verdict from the database is clear: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the superior GPU by every measured metric.
