Intel Arc B370 vs Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains only one benchmark result for the Intel Arc B370: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. The Intel Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has no benchmark entries in the database, which makes a direct head-to-head comparison impossible. The Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, while the Data Center GPU Max Subsystem is positioned at the 50th percentile, indicating that the latter occupies a fundamentally different performance tier.

The Arc B370's nearest rivals in the database, based on average scores, are ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% ahead), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% ahead), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% ahead), and AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% behind). The Arc B370's score of 1184 places it within a tight cluster of older discrete and mobile GPUs, with deltas ranging from minus 0.7% to plus 1.4% against these four rivals. This grouping suggests the Arc B370 delivers performance comparable to a mid-range GPU from roughly a decade earlier, not a data center compute part.

The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has no recorded benchmark scores and no nearest rivals in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, which reflects the absence of test data rather than a performance result. The 50th percentile ranking is a positional marker within the overall GPU distribution, but without benchmark numbers, the database cannot quantify its rasterization or compute performance relative to the Arc B370.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc B370 wins in the only measured benchmark category present in the database. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 is the sole data point available, and it demonstrates functional 3D rendering capability. The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has no such data, so it cannot claim a win in any recorded test. The Arc B370 also holds advantages in several measured specifications that translate to practical use cases. It delivers a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s, figures that support real-time graphics output. It has display outputs described as portable device dependent, meaning it can drive screens in mobile form factors. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support enables modern graphics features, and its Vulkan 1.4 API support adds cross-platform rendering capability.

The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem wins in raw compute throughput and memory resources. Its FP32 performance is 52.43 TFLOPS, and its FP16 performance is also 52.43 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, indicating balanced compute for workloads that do not rely on reduced precision acceleration. It has 128 GB of HBM2e memory with a 3.21 TB/s bandwidth and an 8192-bit bus, which suits large data sets and memory-intensive parallel processing. Its texture rate of 1,638.4 GTexel/s vastly exceeds the Arc B370's 96.00 GTexel/s, and its 16384 shading units dwarf the Arc B370's 1280. The Data Center GPU also has 128 ray tracing cores versus 10 on the Arc B370, though its pixel rate is recorded as 0 MPixel/s because the board has no display outputs. This part is built for compute, not graphics presentation.

The Arc B370 wins on power efficiency in absolute terms. Its TDP is 25 W, which suits integrated graphics in portable devices. The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem draws 2400 W and requires a 2800 W suggested power supply, a figure that reflects its data center role. The Arc B370 needs no power connectors and uses an IGP bus interface, while the Data Center GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface and a single 16-pin connector.

Architecture Differences

The two Intel parts come from completely different architectural lineages. The Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's foundry. The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem uses the Ponte Vecchio chip with the Generation 12.5 architecture, part of the Data Center GPU (Ponte Vecchio) generation, manufactured on a 10 nm process. The transistor counts differ enormously: the Arc B370's transistor count is listed as unknown, while the Data Center GPU Max Subsystem contains 100,000 million transistors on a 1280 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 78.1M per mm². The Arc B370 has no listed die size.

The Arc B370's Xe3-LPG architecture is designed for low-power integrated graphics. It has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 raster output units, and 10 ray tracing cores. The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has 16384 shading units, 1024 texture mapping units, 0 raster output units, and 128 ray tracing cores. The absence of ROPs on the Data Center part confirms its compute-first design, as it has no display path. The Arc B370 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and OpenGL 4.6 but has no Vulkan support listed.

Memory architecture also differs fundamentally. The Arc B370 shares system memory, with its memory size, type, and bus width all listed as system shared, and bandwidth as system dependent. The Data Center GPU Max Subsystem has dedicated 128 GB of HBM2e memory on an 8192-bit bus with 3.21 TB/s of bandwidth. Clock behavior differs as well. The Arc B370 runs at a 300 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost, while the Data Center GPU Max Subsystem runs at 900 MHz base and 1600 MHz boost. Memory clocks show the Arc B370 at system shared speed versus 1565 MHz (3.1 Gbps effective) for the Data Center part.

Specification Differences

The specification table shows clear divergences across every major category. The Arc B370 uses a 3 nm process; the Data Center GPU Max Subsystem uses 10 nm.
