Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only recorded head-to-head measurement in the database is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 posts a score of 2893, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184. The delta between them is 59.1% in favor of the RTX 4010. This is not a marginal gap; the NVIDIA part delivers more than double the raw performance in this workload.

The Intel Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals cluster tightly around it: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2% ahead), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% ahead), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% ahead). The only rival it beats among its nearest four is the AMD FirePro M2000, which scores 1168, a 1.4% deficit. The data places the Arc B370 in a performance tier populated by decade-old discrete and mobile parts, which contextualizes its absolute score as low-end even by the database's broad historical range.

The RTX 4010, by contrast, lands in the 18th percentile, a significantly stronger position. Its average score of 2893 places it just behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB (2907, 0.5% ahead), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF (2910, 0.6% ahead), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB (2913, 0.7% ahead). The NVIDIA Quadro P600 scores 2923, sitting 1% above the RTX 4010. These deltas are small, all under 1.1%, indicating that the RTX 4010 performs within a narrow band of much more recognizable desktop GPUs. The contrast in competitive positioning is stark: the Arc B370's nearest rivals are all ancient ATI parts, while the RTX 4010's rivals include current-generation RTX 4060 Ti variants.

The 59.1% difference in the head-to-head test is the single most important number in the comparison. It is not a close race, and the gap is consistent with the percentile divergence: 5th versus 18th percentile represents a wide chasm in the database's distribution.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The RTX 4010 uses the GA107 chip on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The process node difference is substantial, with Intel's 3 nm node holding a density and efficiency advantage on paper.

The Arc B370 carries 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 ROPs. It includes 10 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 throughput is rated at 6.144 TFLOPS, with FP16 at 12.29 TFLOPS via a 2:1 ratio. Pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The RTX 4010 counters with 768 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, plus 6 ray tracing cores and 24 tensor cores. Its FP32 is 2.706 TFLOPS, and FP16 matches at 2.706 TFLOPS via a 1:1 ratio. Pixel rate is 28.19 GPixel/s, texture rate is 42.29 GTexel/s. In raw shader throughput, the Arc B370 has more than double the FP32 capability of the RTX 4010, yet it loses the benchmark by a wide margin. This indicates that the architectural efficiency, driver maturity, or memory subsystem of the RTX 4010 compensates for its lower compute ceiling, or that the Steel Nomad workload does not scale with raw FP32.

The memory configuration diverges completely. The Arc B370 uses system shared memory, with system dependent bandwidth and no dedicated VRAM. The RTX 4010 uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, delivering 96.00 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 1500 MHz effective. The RTX 4010's dedicated memory and fixed bandwidth are a structural advantage for a benchmark like Steel Nomad, which is memory sensitive. The Arc B370's shared memory model means its performance varies with the host system's memory, a variable the database cannot control.

Clock speeds also differ sharply. The Arc B370 runs at a 300 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The RTX 4010 runs at 1417 MHz base and 1762 MHz boost. Despite the Arc B370's higher boost clock, the RTX 4010's higher base clock and dedicated memory produce the better result. Power draw favors the Arc B370 at 25 W versus 50 W for the RTX 4010, but the database shows no efficiency metric to weigh against the performance gap.

The RTX 4010 has a defined physical footprint: 163 mm in length, 69 mm in height, single-slot width, with four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor, with no slot width, no power connectors, and display outputs dependent on the portable device. The RTX 4010 also specifies a 250 W suggested PSU, while the Arc B370 lists none.

Transistor data is asymmetric. The RTX 4010 is documented with 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, yielding a density of 43.5 million transistors per mm². The Arc B370's transistor count and die size are unknown, so no density comparison is possible from the recorded data.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010. It wins the only head-to-head benchmark by 59.1%, holds an 18th percentile rank versus the Arc B370's 5th, and its nearest rivals are far more capable GPUs. The Intel part's architectural advantages, including a smaller process node, higher shader count, more TMUs and ROPs, and higher FP32 throughput, do not translate into benchmark victories. The RTX 4010's dedicated 4 GB GDDR6 memory, higher base clock, and mature Ampere architecture deliver the performance that matters in the recorded test.

The Arc B370's role is that of an integrated GPU in a Panther Lake platform. It is not a competitor to a discrete single-slot card in the same performance class. The RTX 4010 is a low-profile desktop part with a fixed memory subsystem and a proven architecture. Any user comparing these two for a build would find the RTX 4010's benchmark position far more persuasive, though the Arc B370's 25 W power envelope and integrated nature suit a different class of system.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 wins in benchmark performance, percentile rank, memory configuration, and competitive positioning. Its 2893 score in Steel Nomad places it in the 18th percentile, and its nearest rivals include the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB and RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, both within 0.7%. The RTX 4010 also provides a fixed 4 GB GDDR6 memory pool with 96.00 GB/s bandwidth, a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. It has a defined physical footprint of 163 mm length and 69 mm height, making it a compact discrete card.

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency, with a 25 W TDP versus 50 W for the RTX 4010. It also holds the advantage in raw compute specifications: 1280 shading units versus 768, 40 TMUs versus 24, 20 ROPs versus 16, 10 ray tracing cores versus 6, 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 versus 2.706 TFLOPS, 48.00 GPixel/s versus 28.19 GPixel/s, and 96.00 GTexel/s versus 42.29 GTexel/s. Its 3 nm process node is more advanced than the RTX 4010's 8 nm node, and its boost clock of 2400 MHz exceeds the RTX 4010's 1762 MHz.

The data suggests a split: the RTX 4010 is the choice for anyone seeking actual 3D performance, as evidenced by the 59.1% benchmark lead. The Arc B370 is only viable in scenarios where integrated graphics are required and power draw of 25 W is a hard limit. Its higher theoretical compute throughput does not overcome the RTX 4010's dedicated memory and architectural efficiency in the recorded test. The RTX 4010's release date of 2024-04-15 also predates the Arc B370's 2026-01-26 release, giving NVIDIA a maturity advantage in driver and software support within the database's timeframe.
