Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 is built on Intel's 3 nm process using the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M generation for Panther Lake chips. It is manufactured by Intel and integrates 1,280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. The architecture includes 10 RT cores for hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The GPU operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory subsystem is entirely system-shared, meaning it relies on the host system's RAM rather than dedicated VRAM.

The NVIDIA GB10 uses TSMC's 5 nm process with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation. The chip, designated GB20B, has a die size of 382 mm², while the Arc B370's die size is unknown. The GB10 contains 6,144 shading units, 384 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, along with 48 RT cores and 384 tensor cores. Its base clock is 1665 MHz with a boost clock of 2418 MHz. The memory system uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus with 273.2 GB/s bandwidth. The GB10 connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, whereas the Arc B370 uses an IGP bus interface.

The architectural divide is clear: the Arc B370 is a mobile-integrated solution optimized for power efficiency, while the GB10 is a server accelerator designed for massive parallel compute. The GB10's tensor core count of 384 enables AI and deep learning workloads, a feature absent from the Arc B370's spec sheet. The API support also differs sharply, with the Arc B370 supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, while the GB10 lists N/A for all graphics APIs, reinforcing its compute-centric design.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every measurable specification. The Intel Arc B370 uses a 3 nm process node from Intel, while the NVIDIA GB10 uses a 5 nm node from TSMC. The GB10 has a known die size of 382 mm², but the Arc B370's die size is not recorded. Clock speeds show the GB10 with a higher base clock of 1665 MHz versus 300 MHz for the Arc B370, and a slightly higher boost clock of 2418 MHz versus 2400 MHz. Memory configurations are fundamentally different: the Arc B370 uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the GB10 provides 128 GB of LPDDR5X with 273.2 GB/s bandwidth on a 256-bit bus.

Compute resources differ substantially. The GB10 has 6,144 shading units compared to 1,280 for the Arc B370, 384 TMUs versus 40, and 48 ROPs versus 20. Ray tracing cores number 48 on the GB10 versus 10 on the Arc B370. Tensor cores exist only on the GB10, with 384 units. Pixel rate on the GB10 is 116.1 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s on the Arc B370.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows no direct head-to-head tests between the Intel Arc B370 and NVIDIA GB10. Instead, each GPU has its own benchmark suite with scores that can be compared across the database. The Arc B370's sole recorded benchmark is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 1,184. This places it within a narrow band of competitors: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186, just 0.2% higher, while the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1,192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1,168, which is 1.4% lower than the Arc B370. These deltas indicate the Arc B370 performs within a tight cluster of older, low-power mobile GPUs, all within roughly 2% of each other.

The NVIDIA GB10 demonstrates a completely different performance class in its benchmark results. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 120,137, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 114,648, producing an average of 117,393. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, scores 117,088, just 0.3% behind. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 scores 118,976, which is 1.3% higher than the GB10. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114,395, 2.6% lower, and the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile scores 113,944, 3% lower. This profile places the GB10 among professional workstation and server accelerators, with performance deltas under 3% across all four nearest rivals.

Comparing the two GPUs directly, the GB10's average benchmark score of 117,393 is roughly 99 times the Arc B370's 1,184. The percentile rankings confirm the gap: the GB10 sits at the 95th percentile while the Arc B370 sits at the 5th. The data indicates these products occupy opposite ends of the performance spectrum. The Arc B370's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1,184 reflects its integrated nature, while the GB10's Geekbench scores in the 114,000 to 120,000 range reflect its server-grade compute capability. The wins are entirely on the GB10 side, with zero recorded wins for the Arc B370 in head-to-head benchmarks, though no direct comparisons exist in the database. The specification differences, particularly in shading units, memory bandwidth, and tensor cores, explain the performance disparity, with the GB10 offering 4.8 times the FP32 throughput and 4.8 times the shading units of the Arc B370.
