Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile Comparison

Intel Arc B370 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile represent two very different approaches to mobile graphics, separated by process technology, architecture, and performance class. The benchmark data in the database shows a wide gap between them, with the RTX 4060 Mobile occupying a significantly higher performance tier. The Arc B370, with a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, sits at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The RTX 4060 Mobile, by contrast, delivers an average benchmark score of 22729 across nine tests, placing it at the 67th percentile. This difference in percentile ranking alone indicates that the two parts are not direct competitors in the same performance segment.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain direct head-to-head benchmark runs between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile. Instead, the comparison must be drawn from their individual recorded scores and their positions relative to other GPUs. The Arc B370’s sole benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, produced a score of 1184. The RTX 4060 Mobile’s closest equivalent metric is its PassMark G3D score of 17469, which is a different test, so a direct numerical comparison is not possible. However, the overall average benchmark scores tell the story: the Arc B370 averages 1184, while the RTX 4060 Mobile averages 22729. This represents a difference of roughly 19 times the Arc B370’s total output.

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database clarifies the positioning. The Arc B370’s closest competitors are legacy parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, a delta of -0.2% relative to the Arc B370, meaning the Arc B370 trails by 2 points. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, a delta of -0.5%, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, a delta of -0.7%. The only rival the Arc B370 beats is the AMD FirePro M2000, which scores 1168, giving the Arc B370 a 1.4% advantage, or 16 points. These are all GPUs from over a decade ago, indicating the Arc B370’s performance level is anchored in the entry-level segment.

The RTX 4060 Mobile’s nearest rivals are far more modern and powerful. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, a delta of -0.7% relative to the RTX 4060 Mobile, meaning the RTX 4060 Mobile trails by 166 points. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 22549, a delta of 0.8%, putting the RTX 4060 Mobile 180 points ahead. The Intel Arc B580 scores 23021, a delta of -1.3%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile scores 22435, a delta of 1.3%. The RTX 4060 Mobile’s average score of 22729 places it in the same performance band as desktop GPUs like the RTX 2080 and the RX 7700 XT.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4060 Mobile wins on raw compute across every recorded benchmark category. Its PassMark G3D score of 17469 reflects strong DirectX performance, while its Geekbench OpenCL score of 89420 and Vulkan score of 89569 show substantial compute throughput. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 6816 further confirms its capability in non-graphics workloads. The Arc B370 has no comparable recorded scores in these tests, so the RTX 4060 Mobile dominates in every measurable dimension.

The Arc B370’s only recorded win is in its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, but this is not a win over the RTX 4060 Mobile, as that test was not run on the NVIDIA part. The Arc B370’s advantage lies in its power profile. At 25 W TDP, it consumes 90 W less than the RTX 4060 Mobile’s 115 W TDP. This makes the Arc B370 suitable for ultra-portable devices where power draw is the primary constraint. The RTX 4060 Mobile, with its higher TDP, requires a more robust cooling solution and larger battery to sustain its performance.

In use-case terms, the RTX 4060 Mobile is clearly aimed at gaming laptops and mobile workstations where performance is the priority. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and 128-bit bus width provides adequate capacity and speed for modern game textures and compute workloads. The Arc B370’s system-shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent, means its performance scales with the host system’s memory configuration, which is a significant variable. For a user prioritizing sustained frame rates in demanding titles, the RTX 4060 Mobile is the only logical choice based on the data.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures and process nodes. The Intel Arc B370 uses the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel’s 3 nm process. It is part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation, with the chip codenamed Panther Lake. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile uses the Ada Lovelace architecture, built on TSMC’s 5 nm process, with the chip codenamed AD107. The process node difference is notable: Intel’s 3 nm node is more advanced in terms of feature size, but the RTX 4060 Mobile compensates with a larger die and more transistors.

The RTX 4060 Mobile has 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.9M per mm². The Arc B370’s transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so a direct density comparison is impossible. However, the RTX 4060 Mobile’s transistor budget is clearly focused on maximizing compute resources. The Ada Lovelace architecture includes dedicated tensor cores and RT cores, which the Arc B370 lacks in terms of tensor cores (the field is null). The RTX 4060 Mobile has 96 tensor cores and 24 RT cores, while the Arc B370 has 10 RT cores and no tensor cores listed.

Shader configuration also differs significantly. The RTX 4060 Mobile has 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. This means the RTX 4060 Mobile has 2.4 times the shading units, 2.4 times the TMUs, and 2.4 times the ROPs. The pixel rate of the RTX 4060 Mobile is 90.72 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s for the Arc B370, and texture rate is 181.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput is 11.61 TFLOPS for the RTX 4060 Mobile versus 6.144 TFLOPS for the Arc B370. The RTX 4060 Mobile’s FP16 rate is identical to its FP32 rate at 11.61 TFLOPS (1:1), while the Arc B370’s FP16 rate is 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1), indicating a different ratio for half-precision work.

Specification Differences

Several specifications differ between the two parts. The most striking difference is memory. The RTX 4060 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The Arc B370 uses system-shared memory, with no dedicated VRAM, a bus width described as system shared, and bandwidth that is system dependent. The base clock of the RTX 4060 Mobile is 1545 MHz with a boost clock of 1890 MHz, while the Arc B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The Arc B370 boosts to a higher frequency, but its lower shader count limits its overall throughput.

The TDP difference is substantial: 25 W for the Arc B370 versus 115 W for the RTX 4060 Mobile. Both are listed as IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and portable device dependent display outputs. The bus interface differs: the Arc B370 uses IGP, while the RTX 4060 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The RTX 4060 Mobile has a production status of active with a release date of 2023-01-02, while the Arc B370 is also active with a release date of 2026-01-26. The RTX 4060 Mobile has a predecessor (GeForce 30 Mobile) and successor (GeForce 50 Mobile), while the Arc B370 has neither listed. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.
