Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA H100 NVL 94 GB Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single recorded benchmark for the Intel Arc B370: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. The NVIDIA H100 NVL 94 GB has no recorded benchmarks in the database, so a direct head-to-head comparison rests entirely on the Arc B370’s score and its position among near-equivalent GPUs.

The Arc B370’s score of 1184 places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, all with average scores within a few points, are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, -0.2% delta), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, -0.5% delta), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, -0.7% delta), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, +1.4% delta). The data shows the Arc B370 is essentially tied with these older parts, with deltas under one percentage point in either direction. It trails the HD 7650M by 0.7% and the HD 5770 by 0.5%, while leading the FirePro M2000 by 1.4%.

The NVIDIA H100 NVL 94 GB, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero and no nearest rivals listed. This absence of recorded data means the database cannot provide a numerical comparison between the two. What is clear is that the H100 NVL is designed for an entirely different workload category, as evidenced by its 50th percentile ranking (which, with no benchmarks, reflects its classification rather than measured performance).

For the only measurable benchmark, the Arc B370 delivers a score that sits in a cluster of legacy mobile and desktop parts from over a decade ago. The 1184 score indicates entry-level rendering capability, far below what the H100 NVL’s compute resources suggest, but the lack of H100 data prevents a quantified delta.

Where Each One Wins

Based on recorded data, the Intel Arc B370 wins in the only benchmark where both could theoretically appear, since the H100 NVL has no scores. The Arc B370’s 1184 Steel Nomad result is its sole win, and it also holds advantages in areas like API support: it lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, whereas the H100 NVL lists no graphics APIs at all. The Arc B370 also has integrated display outputs (Portable Device Dependent), while the H100 NVL has no display outputs.

The NVIDIA H100 NVL 94 GB wins in raw compute specifications, but these are not benchmark-verified. Its 16896 shading units, 528 TMUs, 528 tensor cores, and 60.32 TFLOPS FP32 performance are vastly higher than the Arc B370’s 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, 10 RT cores, and 6.144 TFLOPS FP32. The H100 NVL also leads in memory: 94 GB of HBM3 on a 6016-bit bus with 3.94 TB/s bandwidth, versus the Arc B370’s System Shared memory with bandwidth described as System Dependent.

Use-case separation is stark. The Arc B370’s 25 W TDP and IGP slot width point to a low-power integrated solution for portable devices, likely for light graphics workloads. The H100 NVL’s 400 W TDP, dual-slot width, and 800 W suggested PSU indicate a server accelerator intended for compute-heavy tasks, particularly those leveraging its tensor cores. The data supports no crossover: the Arc B370 is a graphics-first part, the H100 NVL is a compute-first part with no display or graphics API support.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every recorded specification. The Intel Arc B370 uses a 3 nm process at Intel’s foundry, while the NVIDIA H100 NVL 94 GB uses a 5 nm process at TSMC. Transistor count and die size are unknown for the Arc B370; the H100 NVL has 80,000 million transistors on an 814 mm² die with a density of 98.3M / mm².

Clock speeds: the Arc B370’s base is 300 MHz with a boost of 2400 MHz; the H100 NVL’s base is 1080 MHz with a boost of 1785 MHz. Memory clocks differ: the Arc B370 lists System Shared, while the H100 NVL lists 1310 MHz (5.2 Gbps effective).

Compute units: the Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, 10 RT cores, and no tensor cores. The H100 NVL has 16896 shading units, 528 TMUs, 24 ROPs, no RT cores, and 528 tensor cores. Pixel and texture rates: the Arc B370 delivers 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s; the H100 NVL delivers 42.84 GPixel/s and 942.5 GTexel/s.

The H100 NVL’s predecessor is Server Ada and successor is Server Blackwell; the Arc B370 has no listed predecessor or successor.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 is built on the Xe3-LPG architecture with the Panther Lake chip, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. It has 10 ray tracing cores, a feature the NVIDIA H100 NVL lacks entirely. The H100 NVL uses the Hopper architecture with the GH100 chip, part of the Server Hopper (Hxx) generation. It has 528 tensor cores, while the Arc B370 has none.

The process nodes reflect different design goals: the Arc B370 uses Intel’s 3 nm node, the H100 NVL uses TSMC’s 5 nm node. The H100 NVL’s transistor density is given as 98.3M / mm², but no density is recorded for the Arc B370. The Arc B370 supports a full graphics API stack (DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4); the H100 NVL lists no graphics APIs, consistent with its server accelerator role. The Arc B370’s memory is system-shared, meaning it relies on host memory, whereas the H100 NVL has dedicated HBM3 with a 6016-bit interface.

The H100 NVL’s 528 tensor cores are its defining feature, designed for matrix operations, while the Arc B370’s 10 RT cores handle ray tracing. The Arc B370’s FP16 throughput is exactly double its FP32 (12.29 TFLOPS vs 6.144 TFLOPS), indicating a 2:1 ratio. The H100 NVL’s FP16 is four times its FP32 (241.3 TFLOPS vs 60.32 TFLOPS), a 4:1 ratio. These ratios reflect different compute priorities: the Arc B370 balances graphics and compute, the H100 NVL emphasizes tensor-heavy workloads.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows no overlap in purpose. The Intel Arc B370, with its 1184 Steel Nomad score, 25 W TDP, and integrated design, is positioned for portable devices requiring basic 3D rendering and API compatibility. Its performance cluster, within 1.4% of legacy ATI and AMD parts, confirms an entry-level tier. The absence of tensor cores and dedicated memory further limits it to graphics duties.

The NVIDIA H100 NVL 94 GB, with no benchmark scores, cannot be compared numerically. Its specifications, however, indicate a server-grade accelerator: 16896 shading units, 94 GB HBM3, 3.94 TB/s bandwidth, and 528 tensor cores. The 400 W TDP and dual-slot form factor are consistent with data-center deployment. The lack of display outputs and graphics APIs means it is not a rendering device in the conventional sense.

Who should pick which? From the data alone, the Arc B370 suits systems needing integrated graphics with DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan support, particularly where power draw is constrained to 25 W. The H100 NVL suits compute environments requiring massive FP32/FP16 throughput and tensor core acceleration, with no need for display output. The 50th percentile ranking for the H100 NVL, despite no benchmarks, reflects its classification as a mid-tier server part in the database’s hierarchy. The Arc B370’s 5th percentile ranking, based on its one score, places it among the lowest-performing GPUs in the database. The choice is not a competition; it is a function of workload.
