Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Arc B370 shows a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 1184 points. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q has no benchmark entries in the database, placing it in a different measurement situation. The Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 4060 Max-Q sits at the 50th percentile. This percentile gap indicates that the RTX 4060 Max-Q, despite lacking a direct score, is positioned far higher in the overall distribution of recorded GPU performance.

The Arc B370's nearest rivals in the database are older discrete parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% ahead of the Arc B370. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% ahead. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% ahead. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which trails the Arc B370 by 1.4%. These deltas are small, all within a couple of percentage points. The Arc B370 effectively trades blows with a set of GPUs from a much earlier hardware generation.

The RTX 4060 Max-Q has no nearest rivals listed and no average score, so the database cannot compute direct percentage comparisons against it. What the data does show is the percentile placement: the RTX 4060 Max-Q at the 50th percentile means half of all recorded GPUs score below it. The Arc B370 at the 5th percentile means only 5% of recorded GPUs score below it. This is a substantial separation in the overall ranking, even though the specific score for the RTX 4060 Max-Q is absent.

The head-to-head benchmark section in the database is empty for this pair, and the win counters show zero for both sides. That means no direct comparative test results exist between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q. The only quantitative bridge between them is the percentile field, which places the NVIDIA part much higher in the distribution. The Arc B370's raw score of 1184, when compared against the nearest rivals, shows it clustering around 1168 to 1192, a narrow band. The RTX 4060 Max-Q, by virtue of its 50th percentile rank, belongs to a different performance tier entirely.

The Verdict

The benchmark data shows that the Intel Arc B370 delivers a specific measurable score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q has no direct score recorded, but its 50th percentile placement indicates a much stronger overall position in the database distribution. The empty head-to-head benchmarks and zero win counters mean no direct comparison can be drawn from matched tests.

For a user selecting between these two parts, the data supports the RTX 4060 Max-Q for raw performance expectations. The 45-percentage-point gap in percentile rank is the strongest signal in the database. The RTX 4060 Max-Q also carries substantially higher compute resources: 3072 shading units versus 1280, 24 ray tracing cores versus 10, and 96 tensor cores versus none. The FP32 throughput of 9.032 TFLOPS exceeds the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS by about 47%. The pixel rate of 70.56 GPixel/s exceeds 48.00 GPixel/s by about 47%. The texture rate of 141.1 GTexel/s exceeds 96.00 GTexel/s by about 47%.

The Arc B370's advantages are in efficiency and FP16 compute. Its TDP of 25 W is lower than 35 W. Its FP16 rate of 12.29 TFLOPS is higher than the RTX 4060 Max-Q's 9.032 TFLOPS, though the Arc B370 achieves this at a 2:1 ratio while the RTX 4060 Max-Q runs 1:1. The Arc B370 also has a higher boost clock at 2400 MHz versus 1470 MHz, and it uses a more advanced 3 nm process versus 5 nm.

The release dates differ by about three years, with the RTX 4060 Max-Q launching in early 2023 and the Arc B370 in early 2026. This timeline aligns with the newer architecture on the Intel side but does not translate into a higher benchmark percentile.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B370 wins on power efficiency. Its 25 W TDP is the lowest among the two, making it suitable for thermally constrained portable devices. It also wins on FP16 compute throughput, delivering 12.29 TFLOPS versus 9.032 TFLOPS for the RTX 4060 Max-Q. The Arc B370's higher boost clock of 2400 MHz versus 1470 MHz gives it a clock speed advantage, and its 3 nm process node is more advanced than the 5 nm node used by the NVIDIA part. In the nearest rival comparison, the Arc B370 leads the AMD FirePro M2000 by 1.4%, showing it can edge out some older discrete parts.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q wins on overall performance tier. The 50th percentile ranking versus the 5th percentile is the clearest separation in the data. It wins on every raw throughput metric recorded: pixel rate, texture rate, FP32 compute, and memory bandwidth. The RTX 4060 Max-Q has 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc B370 relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. The RTX 4060 Max-Q has more than double the shading units, more than double the TMUs, more than double the ROPs, and more than double the ray tracing cores. It also has 96 tensor cores, which the Arc B370 lacks entirely. The RTX 4060 Max-Q's PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provides a dedicated bus connection, whereas the Arc B370 uses an IGP interface.

The RTX 4060 Max-Q also has a higher TDP at 35 W, which is consistent with its higher throughput. Its FP16 performance at 1:1 ratio means it does not rely on reduced precision to achieve higher rates, unlike the Arc B370's 2:1 ratio. The RTX 4060 Max-Q has a predecessor and successor in the database, indicating an established product line, while the Arc B370 stands alone in that regard.

In practical terms, the data suggests the RTX 4060 Max-Q is the stronger choice for applications that demand high frame rates, complex shading, ray tracing, or tensor-based workloads. The Arc B370 is the more power-conscious option, with a lower TDP and a boost clock that exceeds the NVIDIA part, but its overall compute resources and benchmark percentile place it well below the RTX 4060 Max-Q in the recorded performance hierarchy.
