Intel Arc A370M vs NVIDIA TITAN V Comparison

The NVIDIA TITAN V and Intel Arc A370M sit at opposite ends of the GPU spectrum, and the benchmark data reflects that divide clearly. The TITAN V is a desktop-class compute monster from the Volta era, while the Arc A370M is a low-power mobile chip built for efficiency. The database shows the TITAN V winning both recorded head-to-head tests by a massive margin, but the Arc A370M still holds relevance for specific use cases. This analysis breaks down where each card wins, what separates their architectures, and who should actually consider each one.

Where Each One Wins

The TITAN V dominates in raw compute throughput. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 157,265 points against the Arc A370M's 29,676 points, a lead of 429.9%. In Geekbench Vulkan, the margin is nearly identical at 430.5%, with scores of 152,117 and 28,673 respectively. These are not close contests; the TITAN V is in a different performance class entirely. For anyone running OpenCL workloads, physics simulations, or Vulkan-based rendering tasks, the TITAN V is the obvious choice. Its average benchmark score of 34,355 places it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs, while the Arc A370M sits at 29,175 average and the 74th percentile.

The Arc A370M does not win any recorded benchmark tests. However, its strength is not in raw scores but in its physical profile. It is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a 35 W TDP, meaning it can fit into thin-and-light laptops where a dual-slot, 250 W desktop card cannot. The TITAN V requires a 600 W suggested power supply and dual-slot chassis space, while the Arc A370M has no power connectors and no dedicated dimensions listed, indicating it is designed for soldered mobile use. For portable systems, the Arc A370M is the only viable option between the two. It also features 8 ray tracing cores, a capability the TITAN V lacks entirely, making it the better choice for any workload that leverages DirectX 12 Ultimate ray tracing features.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap is generational and physical. The TITAN V uses the GV100 chip on TSMC's 12 nm process, packing 21,100 million transistors into an 815 mm² die. That is a transistor density of 25.9 million per square millimeter. The Arc A370M uses the DG2-128 chip on TSMC's 6 nm process, with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, achieving 45.9 million transistors per square millimeter. The Arc A370M is significantly more dense, but the TITAN V has nearly three times the transistor count and over five times the die area.

Memory configurations differ completely. The TITAN V has 12 GB of HBM2 with a 3072-bit bus and 651.3 GB/s bandwidth. The Arc A370M has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus with 112.0 GB/s bandwidth. The TITAN V's memory bus is 48 times wider, and its bandwidth is roughly 5.8 times higher. Clock speeds favor the Arc A370M, which boosts to 2050 MHz versus the TITAN V's 1455 MHz, but that advantage does not compensate for the massive difference in shading units (5120 vs 1024), texture mapping units (320 vs 64), and render output units (96 vs 32).

The TITAN V includes 640 tensor cores, which the Arc A370M lacks. The Arc A370M includes 8 ray tracing cores, which the TITAN V lacks. The TITAN V supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the Arc A370M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both cards support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The TITAN V uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the Arc A370M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, which offers similar bandwidth but different lane configurations. The TITAN V is from the GeForce 10 generation, released in December 2017, while the Arc A370M is from the Alchemist generation, released in March 2022. Both are end-of-life products.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database includes two direct comparisons: Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan. The TITAN V wins both, and the margins are extraordinary. In Geekbench OpenCL, the TITAN V scores 157,265 against the Arc A370M's 29,676, a 429.9% advantage. In Geekbench Vulkan, the TITAN V scores 152,117 against 28,673, a 430.5% advantage. These are not incremental wins; the TITAN V is performing roughly 5.3 times better in each test.

To put these numbers into context, the TITAN V's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (average score 34,207, delta 0.4%), the NVIDIA RTX A2000 12 GB (34,154, delta 0.6%), and it sits slightly behind the AMD Radeon HD 7970 (34,541, delta -0.5%) and NVIDIA T1000 8 GB (34,561, delta -0.6%). The Arc A370M's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH (29,197, delta -0.1%), AMD FirePro W8000 (29,211, delta -0.1%), and it slightly beats the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28,996, delta 0.6%) and AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28,874, delta 1%). The TITAN V's average score is about 17.7% higher than the Arc A370M's, but in the two common tests, the gap expands to over 400% due to the compute-heavy nature of those workloads.

The TITAN V also has a higher PassMark G3D score of 19,805, though the Arc A370M has no recorded PassMark scores in this database. The TITAN V's PassMark GPU Compute score is 9,263, and its DirectX 9 score is 213, DirectX 10 is 153, DirectX 11 is 152, and DirectX 12 is 81. These older API tests are not available for the Arc A370M, so no direct comparison is possible. The TITAN V's pixel rate of 139.7 GPixel/s and texture rate of 465.6 GTexel/s dwarf the Arc A370M's 65.60 GPixel/s and 131.2 GTexel/s, respectively.

The Verdict

The data makes the decision straightforward for most users. The NVIDIA TITAN V is the pick for anyone who needs maximum compute throughput, large memory capacity, or high bandwidth. Its 12 GB of HBM2 with 651.3 GB/s bandwidth is suited for large datasets, and its 14.90 TFLOPS FP32 performance is in a different league from the Arc A370M's 4.198 TFLOPS. If you are running OpenCL or Vulkan workloads, the TITAN V's 430% lead in both recorded tests is decisive. It also has tensor cores, which the Arc A370M lacks, making it the only choice for workloads that leverage those units.

The Intel Arc A370M is the pick for a completely different scenario: portable systems. Its 35 W TDP, IGP form factor, and lack of power connectors mean it can be integrated into laptops where the TITAN V physically cannot exist. It also brings ray tracing support via 8 dedicated cores, which the TITAN V does not have. The Arc A370M's 4 GB of GDDR6 memory is limited, but for a mobile GPU, it is a reasonable configuration. Its 74th percentile ranking is respectable for a low-power part. The TITAN V's 79th percentile is higher, but that ranking comes with a 250 W power draw and a dual-slot footprint that restricts it to desktop builds.

For a desktop workstation or high-end rendering rig, the TITAN V is the clear winner. For a thin-and-light laptop with ray tracing needs, the Arc A370M is the only practical option. The two cards do not compete in the same market segment, and the benchmark results confirm that the TITAN V is categorically faster. Choose based on your platform constraints first, then performance. If you have the space and power budget, the TITAN V delivers. If you need a mobile solution, the Arc A370M is the one that fits.
