Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a single head-to-head comparison between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, using the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This is a demanding modern rasterization benchmark, and the results are decisive. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB scores 2913, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184. That places the NVIDIA card 59.4% ahead, a substantial margin that dwarfs the differences seen in the rival groups of either product.

To put the Intel Arc B370's score in context, its average benchmark score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the database are all older, lower-end parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168. The Intel part sits within a 1.4% delta of these products, meaning its performance class is effectively a match for a family of integrated and entry-level discrete graphics solutions from over a decade ago. The Arc B370 is 0.2% behind the HD 5570, 0.5% behind the HD 5770, and 0.7% behind the HD 7650M, while it is 1.4% ahead of the FirePro M2000.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, by contrast, sits at the 19th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 2913. Its nearest rivals are all modern NVIDIA parts: the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF scores 2910, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB scores 2907, the Quadro P600 scores 2923, and the GeForce RTX 4010 scores 2893. The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is 0.1% ahead of the RTX PRO 4000, 0.2% ahead of the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, 0.7% ahead of the RTX 4010, and 0.3% behind the Quadro P600. These deltas are tiny, indicating the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is clustered tightly with other mid-range to upper-mid-range products.

The delta between the two headline products is enormous in comparison. The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB delivers roughly 2.46 times the raw score of the Arc B370. This is not a close contest; the data indicates a clear tier separation. The Intel part's performance floor is shared with legacy DX11-era mobile and desktop parts, while the NVIDIA part competes with contemporary workstation and higher-end consumer cards.

Architecture Differences

The two products come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Arc B370 is built on a 3 nm process node at Intel's own foundry, using the Xe3-LPG architecture and the Panther Lake chip. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation, which is designed as an integrated graphics processor, or IGP. The chip has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory subsystem is entirely system-shared, with no dedicated VRAM, no dedicated memory type, and no dedicated bus width; memory bandwidth is listed as system-dependent. This means the GPU relies on the host system's main memory for all graphics data.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB uses the AD106 chip, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with the Ada Lovelace architecture. It belongs to the GeForce 40 generation and is a discrete, dual-slot card. Its base clock is 2310 MHz with a boost clock of 2535 MHz. The memory configuration is substantially different: 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is listed as 2250 MHz, or 18 Gbps effective. The NVIDIA card also has a dedicated 16-pin power connector and a suggested power supply rating of 450 W, while the Intel part uses no power connectors and is an IGP with a 25 W TDP.

The compute resources differ sharply. The Intel Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 raster output units, and 10 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card has 4352 shading units, 136 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 34 ray tracing cores, and 136 tensor cores. The Intel part has no tensor core count listed. Pixel rate for the Intel part is 48.00 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card reaches 121.7 GPixel/s and 344.8 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS for Intel versus 22.06 TFLOPS for NVIDIA. FP16 is 12.29 TFLOPS for Intel (at a 2:1 ratio) versus 22.06 TFLOPS for NVIDIA (at a 1:1 ratio). The Intel part's transistor count, die size, and transistor density are all listed as unknown or null, while the NVIDIA chip has 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die, for a density of 121.8M per mm².

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the Intel part is listed as IGP for its bus interface. Display outputs differ as well, with the Intel part being portable-device-dependent and the NVIDIA card having 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows a single decisive win for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, with a delta of 59.4%. The Intel Arc B370 has zero wins in the head-to-head comparison. This means that in this particular workload, the NVIDIA card is the clear choice for anyone seeking maximum frame throughput or raw compute performance in a modern DX12 title.

The Intel Arc B370's role is different. Its 25 W TDP, IGP form factor, and system-shared memory indicate it is intended for ultra-low-power, portable devices where a discrete GPU is not viable. Its performance class, matching the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M, suggests it is suitable for basic graphics output, legacy gaming, or light productivity, not for high-refresh or high-resolution modern gaming. The data shows no scenario where the Intel part wins in a measurable benchmark.

The NVIDIA card, with its 160 W TDP, dual-slot cooler, 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6, and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, is designed for mainstream desktop gaming and workstation use. Its 19th percentile standing, alongside the RTX PRO 4000 and RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, indicates it is competitive in a much higher performance bracket. The 34 ray tracing cores and 136 tensor cores give it hardware support for ray tracing and AI-accelerated features, which the Intel part's 10 ray tracing cores and absent tensor core count cannot match. For any workload involving DX12 gaming, ray tracing, or compute-heavy tasks, the data favors the NVIDIA card without qualification.

The Verdict

The database shows a clear hierarchy. The Intel Arc B370, with a 5th percentile score of 1184, is positioned at the very bottom of the performance scale, alongside legacy parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M. It is an integrated, 25 W solution with no dedicated memory and no tensor cores, intended for power-constrained portable devices. Its performance is sufficient only for the most basic graphics tasks.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, at the 19th percentile with a score of 2913, is a discrete, dual-slot card with 8 GB of GDDR6, 136 tensor cores, and a 160 W TDP. It is 59.4% faster than the Intel part in the Steel Nomad test and sits within 0.7% of rivals like the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF and the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. For buyers selecting between these two, the data directs them to the NVIDIA card for any gaming, ray tracing, or compute workload. The Intel part is only appropriate in scenarios where the IGP form factor, 25 W power draw, and system-shared memory are the primary constraints, and where performance expectations are set by the ATI HD 5000-series class of GPUs. The benchmark record offers no evidence of any workload where the Intel Arc B370 outperforms the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB.
