Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA H100 PCIe 96 GB Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between these two accelerators, but it is not a straightforward comparison. The Intel Arc B370 has one recorded benchmark result, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 points, placing it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The NVIDIA H100 PCIe 96 GB has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its average benchmark score at zero. The H100 sits in the 50th percentile, but this percentile reflects its classification rather than measured performance data.

The Intel Arc B370's benchmark win is singular but measurable. Its nearest rivals in the database are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with an average score of 1186 (0.2% ahead of the Arc), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1190 (0.5% ahead), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with 1192 (0.7% ahead), and the AMD FirePro M2000 with 1168 (1.4% behind the Arc). This positions the Arc B370 in a very specific performance tier, one that is firmly below the modern mainstream but consistent with older discrete mobile and entry-level desktop parts.

The NVIDIA H100 PCIe 96 GB wins on every architectural metric, but it has no measured gaming or synthetic workload scores to compare. Its intended domain is server inference and compute, where its 62.08 TFLOPS FP32 and 248.3 TFLOPS FP16 (4:1) rates indicate a fundamentally different performance class. The H100 does not compete on the same workloads as the Arc B370, which targets portable devices with its integrated graphics design.

The data shows that the Arc B370 is the only one of the two with a confirmed benchmark result, and that result anchors it to a low percentile ranking. The H100, by contrast, has no benchmark entries, meaning its performance profile in this database is unverified. Any direct comparison of measured scores would favor the Arc B370 simply because it has a recorded number, but that would ignore the H100's architectural capacity.

Architecture Differences

The two chips share almost nothing in their underlying designs. The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip built on Intel's 3 nm process with the Xe3-LPG architecture, belonging to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The NVIDIA H100 PCIe 96 GB uses the GH100 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process with the Hopper architecture, part of the Server Hopper (Hxx) generation. The foundries differ: Intel fabricates its own chip, while TSMC produces the H100.

The H100's transistor count is recorded as 80,000 million on a die size of 814 mm², producing a transistor density of 98.3 million per square millimeter. The Arc B370's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, and no density figure is available. This is a significant data gap, but the process node difference (3 nm versus 5 nm) suggests the Arc B370 uses a more advanced lithography despite its far smaller scale.

Clock behavior diverges sharply. The Arc B370 runs at a 300 MHz base and boosts to 2400 MHz, while the H100 operates at 1665 MHz base and 1837 MHz boost. The Arc's higher boost clock reflects its integrated, power-constrained design, whereas the H100's lower clocks accompany a much larger compute array. Memory configurations are entirely different: the Arc B370 uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the H100 carries 96 GB of HBM3 on a 5120-bit bus delivering 3.36 TB/s.

Compute unit counts reinforce the gap. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. The H100 has 16896 shading units, 528 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 528 tensor cores. The H100 does not list ray tracing cores, and the Arc B370 does not list tensor cores. Pixel rates are close (48.00 GPixel/s for Arc versus 44.09 GPixel/s for H100), but texture rates differ massively: 96.00 GTexel/s versus 969.9 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS versus 62.08 TFLOPS, and FP16 throughput is 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1) versus 248.3 TFLOPS (4:1).

Power and physical design are also opposites. The Arc B370 consumes 25 W, is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connectors, and has a slot width of IGP. The H100 consumes 700 W, is a dual-slot card requiring an 8-pin EPS connector, and suggests a 1100 W power supply. The H100 uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the Arc B370 uses IGP. Display outputs are portable-device dependent for the Arc, while the H100 has no outputs at all. The H100 measures 268 mm in length and 111 mm in height; the Arc's dimensions are not recorded.

API support favors the Arc B370 for graphics workloads. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The H100 lists no DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan versions, consistent with its compute-only server role. Release dates differ by nearly three years: the Arc B370 launched on 2026-01-26, while the H100 launched on 2023-03-20. The H100's predecessor is listed as Server Ada and its successor as Server Blackwell; the Arc B370 has no predecessor or successor listed.

The Verdict

The data indicates two products engineered for unrelated purposes. The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution for portable devices, with a single measured benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. That score places it at the 5th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all older ATI or AMD parts with average scores between 1168 and 1192. The Arc B370 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%, while leading the AMD FirePro M2000 by 1.4%. This is a low-power integrated part with modest graphics throughput.

The NVIDIA H100 PCIe 96 GB has no benchmark scores in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking does not derive from measured results, and its average benchmark score of zero confirms the absence of entries. The H100 is a server accelerator with 96 GB of HBM3, 528 tensor cores, and FP16 throughput of 248.3 TFLOPS, designed for data center compute rather than client graphics. Its lack of display outputs and absence of graphics API support further separate it from the Arc B370.

For a user seeking a benchmark-verified client graphics part, the Arc B370 has the only recorded score. For a user seeking a server compute accelerator, the H100 offers the architectural specifications but no database-confirmed performance measurements. The data does not support a direct performance ranking because the two never meet on the same workloads. Each part wins in its own domain: the Arc B370 in portable integrated graphics with a verified score, the H100 in server-scale compute with unmatched memory bandwidth and tensor capacity.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 96 GB. The wins count stands at zero for both parts. This absence of shared tests means no direct score comparison exists.

The only available benchmark data belongs to the Arc B370. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, scores 1186, a 0.2% margin over the Arc. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower than the Arc. These deltas show the Arc B370 clustered within a narrow band around 1180 points, with no rival more than 1.4% away in either direction.

The H100's average benchmark score is zero, and its percentile of 50 reflects its database classification rather than any measured test. Its FP32 throughput of 62.08 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput of 248.3 TFLOPS (4:1) indicate far higher compute capacity than the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1), but these are specification figures, not benchmark results. The texture rate difference is similarly wide: 969.9 GTexel/s for the H100 versus 96.00 GTexel/s for the Arc. Pixel rates are closer, with the H100 at 44.09 GPixel/s and the Arc at 48.00 GPixel/s.

Memory bandwidth separates the two decisively. The H100's 3.36 TB/s over a 5120-bit HBM3 interface dwarfs the Arc B370's system-shared memory, whose bandwidth is listed as system dependent. The Arc's memory clock is also system shared, while the H100 runs at 1313 MHz with 5.3 Gbps effective speed. No head-to-head test exists to translate these specifications into comparative performance, so the database leaves the matchup unresolved.
