Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA H100 CNX Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA H100 CNX illustrates two fundamentally different market targets. The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor aimed at mobile and low-power systems, while the NVIDIA H100 CNX is a server-grade accelerator designed for high-performance computing and AI workloads.

Based on recorded benchmark results, the Intel Arc B370 has an average score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. This places it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186, ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190, AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192, and AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168. The deltas range from -0.7% to +1.4%, meaning the Arc B370 performs within a tight band around these older discrete and mobile parts.

The NVIDIA H100 CNX has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile is listed at 50, with an average score of zero, and it has no nearest rivals. This indicates that the H100 CNX is not evaluated by the same consumer-oriented 3DMark test suite used for the Arc B370. The data shows these products are not in the same performance category, and direct comparison is not meaningful from the recorded metrics alone.

The Intel Arc B370 is suited for portable devices where low power consumption and integrated graphics are required. The NVIDIA H100 CNX is designed for server deployments, with its enormous memory capacity and compute throughput aimed at data center tasks. Users requiring an integrated solution for a slim laptop would select the Arc B370. Users deploying a server accelerator would choose the H100 CNX. The data does not support choosing one over the other for the same workload because the recorded benchmarks do not overlap.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 uses the Xe3-LPG architecture on the Panther Lake chip, built on a 3 nm process at Intel. Its generation is listed as Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake). The NVIDIA H100 CNX uses the Hopper architecture on the GH100 chip, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Its generation is listed as Server Hopper (Hxx).

These process nodes indicate different manufacturing approaches: Intel's 3 nm process is used for the integrated processor, while TSMC's 5 nm process is used for the server accelerator. The H100 CNX has 80,000 million transistors on a die size of 814 mm², resulting in a transistor density of 98.3M per mm². The Arc B370 has unknown transistor counts and die size, as is typical for integrated parts where the GPU shares the package with the CPU.

The Intel Arc B370 includes 10 ray tracing cores, which the NVIDIA H100 CNX does not list. Conversely, the H100 CNX includes 456 tensor cores, while the Arc B370 does not list tensor cores at all. This reflects their different workloads: the Arc B370 supports real-time graphics features including ray tracing, while the H100 CNX emphasizes matrix operations for AI and scientific computing.

The API support differs substantially. The Arc B370 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The H100 CNX lists no DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan support in the database. This indicates the H100 CNX is not intended for traditional graphics rendering, whereas the Arc B370 is a fully featured graphics processor.

The memory architecture is also fundamentally different. The Arc B370 uses system shared memory, with system-dependent bandwidth. The H100 CNX uses 80 GB of HBM2e on a 5120-bit bus, delivering 2.04 TB/s bandwidth. This massive memory subsystem is designed for large datasets, while the Arc B370 relies on the host system's main memory.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA H100 CNX. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero. The only recorded score for the Arc B370 is 1184 in 3dmark_3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12. The H100 CNX has an empty benchmarks array.

Because the H100 CNX has no recorded scores, a numerical comparison is impossible. The Arc B370's performance relative to its nearest rivals shows it is competitive with older ATI and AMD parts. It trails the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 by 0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 by 0.5%, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M by 0.7%. It leads the AMD FirePro M2000 by 1.4%. These deltas are all under 2%, indicating the Arc B370 sits in a narrow performance band among these historical parts.

For the H100 CNX, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot establish its performance relative to any other GPU. The 50th percentile listing appears to be a default value rather than a measured result, given the zero average score. The data confirms that these two products are not evaluated under the same testing methodology.
