Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single recorded benchmark comparison between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this workload, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 scores 16,504 points, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1,184 points. The delta between the two is -92.8%, meaning the Intel part trails by a substantial margin. This is not a close contest; the NVIDIA GPU delivers approximately 13.9 times the raw score of the Intel integrated graphics solution.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 also holds a decisive edge in the broader database percentile ranking. It sits at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, while the Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile. That 54-point percentile gap places the two products in entirely different performance tiers. The RTX 5090 D V2's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA T400 (average score 16,508, delta 0%), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (16,415, +0.5%), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16,408, +0.6%), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16,361, +0.9%). These comparisons show the RTX 5090 D V2 trading blows with professional workstation cards and older high-end gaming GPUs, all within a narrow 0.9% band.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are far lower in the performance hierarchy. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (average score 1,186, delta -0.2%), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1,190, -0.5%), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1,192, -0.7%), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1,168, +1.4%) all cluster within 1.4% of the Arc B370's score. This places the Intel part in territory occupied by integrated and entry-level discrete GPUs from over a decade ago, at least in this specific DirectX 12 workload.

The head-to-head record reflects this disparity: the NVIDIA GPU wins the sole benchmark, with zero wins attributed to the Intel part. The performance gap is so large that no other measured comparison exists in the database; the 92.8% delta is the only quantifiable relationship between these two products.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 is built on the Panther Lake chip using the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. It uses a 3 nm process node fabricated by Intel. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 uses the GB202 chip with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 series. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process node.

The transistor counts are dramatically different. The NVIDIA chip contains 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, with a transistor density of 122.9M per mm². The Intel chip's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, so no direct comparison is possible on those metrics.

Shader processor counts also diverge sharply. The Intel Arc B370 has 1,280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output pipelines. It includes 10 ray tracing cores but no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 has 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. It includes 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores.

The compute rates reflect the architectural scale. The Intel part delivers 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP16 compute with a 2:1 ratio. The NVIDIA part delivers 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 and 104.8 TFLOPS of FP16 with a 1:1 ratio. Pixel fill rates are 48.00 GPixel/s for Intel versus 423.6 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. Texture fill rates are 96.00 GTexel/s versus 1,636.8 GTexel/s.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so the API feature sets are identical. The clock behavior differs, however. The Intel chip runs at a 300 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost, while the NVIDIA chip runs at a 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost. The NVIDIA part's boost clock is only 7 MHz higher, but its base clock is 1,717 MHz higher, indicating a fundamentally different power and frequency envelope.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every measurable specification in the database. The most obvious difference is memory configuration. The Intel Arc B370 uses System Shared memory, with the type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as System Shared or System Dependent. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 has 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock is 1750 MHz, or 28 Gbps effective.

Power requirements are also vastly different. The Intel Arc B370 has a TDP of 25 W, uses no power connectors, and is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a slot width of IGP. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 has a TDP of 575 W, uses a single 16-pin power connector, requires a suggested PSU of 950 W, and is a dual-slot card. The bus interface differs as well: the Intel part uses IGP, while the NVIDIA part uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

Physical dimensions are only recorded for the NVIDIA card: 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. The Intel IGP has no listed dimensions, as it is integrated into a portable device. Display outputs also differ. The Intel part's outputs are listed as Portable Device Dependent, while the NVIDIA card has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

Release dates are recorded for both. The Intel Arc B370 was released on 2026-01-26, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 was released on 2025-08-14. The NVIDIA part has a listed predecessor (GeForce 40) and successor (GeForce 60), while the Intel part has no predecessor or successor listed. The NVIDIA card has a launch MSRP of 2,299 USD; the Intel part has no launch MSRP recorded.

The shading unit count alone shows the scale gap: 1,280 versus 21,760, a 17x difference. TMUs are 40 versus 680, ROPs are 20 versus 176, and ray tracing cores are 10 versus 170. The NVIDIA part also has 680 tensor cores, a feature entirely absent from the Intel specification list.

The Verdict

The data shows a complete mismatch in performance class. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is a discrete, dual-slot, 575 W PCIe 5.0 card with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, and a 59th percentile database ranking. The Intel Arc B370 is a 25 W integrated GPU with system-shared memory, 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, and a 5th percentile ranking. The single benchmark result, a 92.8% deficit for the Intel part, confirms that these products are not competitors in any measurable sense.

For users seeking maximum performance in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 workload, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is the only viable choice from this pairing. Its score of 16,504 places it alongside professional workstation GPUs like the NVIDIA T400 and AMD Radeon PRO W7500, all within a 0.9% margin. The Intel Arc B370's score of 1,184 places it alongside decade-old integrated and entry-level discrete parts, with its nearest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, just 0.2% higher.

The Intel Arc B370 may be appropriate for scenarios where power consumption is the dominant constraint, given its 25 W TDP versus 575 W for the NVIDIA card. The database, however, records no benchmark where the Intel part wins. The verdict from the recorded data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 delivers vastly superior performance, while the Intel Arc B370 operates in a fundamentally different, much lower performance tier.
