The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear split between two products with fundamentally different roles. The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor with a 25 W TDP, designed for portable devices where the display output is device dependent. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile, alongside legacy mobile and desktop parts from over a decade ago.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a discrete, dual-slot add-in board with a 285 W TDP, a 600 W suggested PSU, and a 16-pin power connector. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5024 places it at the 84th percentile, directly competing with the RTX 5090 Mobile, Radeon Pro 5500 XT, RTX A6000, and Arc A730M. The benchmark results indicate a 76.4% deficit for the Arc B370 in the single shared test, which reflects the extreme performance separation between an integrated solution and a high-end desktop GPU.

The data suggests the Arc B370 is suited for light, power-constrained workloads in portable systems where no discrete graphics is present. The RTX 4070 Ti, with its end-of-life production status and launch MSRP of 799 USD, targets high-performance desktop gaming and compute tasks. The choice between them is not a matter of preference but of platform and workload requirements, as the two products occupy entirely different performance tiers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one head-to-head comparison for these two products: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The Intel Arc B370 records a score of 1184, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti records 5024. The delta percentage is -76.4%, indicating the NVIDIA card outperforms the Intel part by roughly three-quarters in this test.

This single measurement represents the entirety of the direct comparison, and it is decisive. The RTX 4070 Ti's score is over four times higher than the Arc B370's. Such a margin typically indicates a completely different performance class, rather than a close competitive race. The Arc B370's nearest rivals, such as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186, are within 0.2% of its score. Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals, like the RTX 5090 Mobile at 45152, are within 0.8% of its average across multiple tests.

The RTX 4070 Ti also shows broader capability through its additional benchmark entries. Its Passmark G3D score is 31624, its Geekbench Vulkan score is 213808, and its Geekbench OpenCL score is 176953. These figures are not directly comparable to the Arc B370, which has no corresponding entries, but they demonstrate the NVIDIA card's consistent high performance across different testing methodologies.

The data shows the Arc B370 wins zero head-to-head tests, while the RTX 4070 Ti wins one. This outcome aligns with the percentile rankings: 5th versus 84th. The performance gap is not marginal; it is structural, reflecting the difference between an integrated processor and a dedicated high-end GPU.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every recorded specification. The Intel Arc B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. Memory clocks differ as well: the Arc B370 uses system shared memory, while the RTX 4070 Ti runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed.

Memory capacity and type are entirely different. The Arc B370 has system shared memory of unspecified size and type. The RTX 4070 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Arc B370's bandwidth is system dependent, meaning it varies with the host platform.

Shader resources show a large disparity. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 RT cores. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 60 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. The pixel rate for the Arc B370 is 48.00 GPixel/s, while the RTX 4070 Ti achieves 208.8 GPixel/s. Texture rates are 96.00 GTexel/s versus 626.4 GTexel/s.

Compute throughput follows the same pattern. The Arc B370 delivers 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The RTX 4070 Ti delivers 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 and 40.09 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). Power consumption ranges from 25 W on the Arc B370 to 285 W on the RTX 4070 Ti. The Arc B370 is an IGP with no power connectors and no suggested PSU, while the RTX 4070 Ti is dual-slot, requires a 16-pin connector, and suggests a 600 W PSU.

Physical dimensions are only recorded for the RTX 4070 Ti: 285 mm length, 112 mm height, and 42 mm width. The bus interface is IGP for the Arc B370 versus PCIe 4.0 x16 for the RTX 4070 Ti. Display outputs are portable device dependent for the Arc B370, while the RTX 4070 Ti has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 is built on the Panther Lake chip using the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M generation. It is fabricated on Intel's 3 nm process node. The transistor count and die size are unknown in the database, and transistor density is not recorded. The architecture targets integrated graphics within mobile platforms.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip based on Ada Lovelace architecture, belonging to the GeForce 40-series generation. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process node. The database records 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The predecessor is the GeForce 30 series, and the successor is the GeForce 50 series.

The RTX 4070 Ti includes 240 tensor cores, which the Arc B370 lacks entirely (recorded as null). Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Arc B370's RT core count is 10, while the RTX 4070 Ti has 60. The production status differs: the Arc B370 is active, while the RTX 4070 Ti is end-of-life. Release dates are January 26, 2026 for the Arc B370 and January 2, 2023 for the RTX 4070 Ti.

The architecture choice reflects different design goals. Xe3-LPG on a 3 nm node emphasizes low power and integration, suitable for a 25 W TDP part. Ada Lovelace on a 5 nm node with a massive transistor budget targets maximum throughput and feature set, including dedicated tensor and ray tracing hardware.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is dramatically lower than the RTX 4070 Ti's 285 W, making it suitable for portable devices where battery life and thermal constraints dominate. The IGP form factor requires no power connectors, no additional slot space, and no separate PSU. The display output is portable device dependent, meaning it works directly within the host system. The 3 nm process node suggests a focus on energy-efficient operation. The Arc B370's FP16 performance at 12.29 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio indicates it can handle some compute tasks despite its low absolute throughput.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti wins in every recorded performance metric. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score is 5024 versus 1184, a 76.4% advantage. Its FP32 throughput of 40.09 TFLOPS is over six times higher than the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS. The 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth versus system dependent bandwidth gives it a massive edge in memory-intensive workloads. The 240 tensor cores enable AI acceleration, which the Arc B370 lacks. The 60 RT cores provide more robust ray tracing capability compared to 10.

The RTX 4070 Ti also wins in multi-test consistency. Its average benchmark score of 44795, based on ten tests, shows stable high performance across DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads. The Arc B370's average score of 1184 is based on a single test, limiting the available data for broader comparison.

The use-case split is clear. The Arc B370 serves lightweight, portable, low-power systems where the GPU must share resources with the CPU. The RTX 4070 Ti serves desktop systems with dedicated power delivery, larger chassis, and workloads that demand maximum frame rates, compute throughput, and feature support. The data does not indicate any overlap in their intended roles.
