Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation Comparison

The Verdict

The data clearly separates these two mobile graphics solutions. The NVIDIA RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation occupies the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile. That 45-point percentile gap is the single most decisive indicator here: the RTX 1000 Mobile is positioned far higher in the performance distribution.

For the Intel Arc B370, the recorded benchmark data shows a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. Its nearest rivals in the database are all older discrete parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186 (0.2% ahead), ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 (0.5% ahead), AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 (0.7% ahead), and AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168 (1.4% behind). This places the Arc B370 in the company of legacy mobile and desktop GPUs from over a decade ago, not modern competitors. The RTX 1000 Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so direct numerical comparison is unavailable, but its 50th percentile ranking versus the Arc B370's 5th percentile is unambiguous.

The RTX 1000 Mobile is the choice when the workload demands dedicated VRAM, tensor cores, and sustained compute throughput. The Arc B370 is the choice when power draw and integration matter more than raw performance: it uses an IGP slot, has no power connectors, and carries a 25 W TDP. The RTX 1000 Mobile also uses an IGP slot with no power connectors, but its 35 W TDP is 40% higher, and it brings a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface instead of the Arc B370's IGP bus interface.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 is built on the Panther Lake chip using the Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on Intel's 3 nm process. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. Its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database.

The NVIDIA RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation uses the AD107 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The database records 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 118.9 million per square millimeter. It belongs to the Ada-MW (x000A) generation and lists Ampere-MW as its predecessor and Blackwell-MW as its successor.

Functional unit counts differ substantially. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 raster operation units, and 10 ray tracing cores. The RTX 1000 Mobile has exactly double the shading units at 2560, double the TMUs at 80, more than double the ROPs at 48, and double the ray tracing cores at 20. The RTX 1000 Mobile also includes 80 tensor cores; the Arc B370 lists none.

Clock behavior differs. The Arc B370 runs at a 300 MHz base clock and boosts to 2400 MHz. The RTX 1000 Mobile runs at a 1485 MHz base clock and boosts to 2025 MHz. The Arc B370 has a much lower base clock but a higher boost clock, while the RTX 1000 Mobile sustains a far higher floor.

API support is identical: both list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs are portable device dependent for both.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two GPUs. The wins and loss counters are both zero. Direct numerical comparison through shared tests is therefore impossible.

What the database does provide is the Arc B370's standalone Steel Nomad DX12 result of 1184 and its nearest rival comparisons. Those nearest rivals are all ATI or AMD parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (1.4% lower). The Arc B370 is therefore within roughly one percent of three of these four legacy GPUs, and it slightly beats only the FirePro M2000 among its listed nearest rivals.

The RTX 1000 Mobile has no benchmark entries and no nearest rivals recorded, so its measured position cannot be compared numerically. Its 50th percentile placement, however, places it far above the Arc B370's 5th percentile in the overall distribution. The Arc B370's nearest rivals, all well below the RTX 1000 Mobile's percentile position, reinforce that gap: even the strongest of those legacy parts sits near the bottom of the database distribution.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 1000 Mobile wins on compute throughput. Its FP32 rating of 10.37 TFLOPS is roughly 69% higher than the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 162.0 GTexel/s is 68.75% higher than 96.00 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate of 97.20 GPixel/s is 102.5% higher than 48.00 GPixel/s. The RTX 1000 Mobile also doubles the ray tracing core count and offers 80 tensor cores where the Arc B370 has none, giving it a clear advantage in workloads that use dedicated hardware acceleration.

The RTX 1000 Mobile wins on memory resources. It has 6 GB of dedicated GDDR6 with 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Arc B370 depends on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. Dedicated VRAM removes contention with the CPU and provides predictable memory performance. The RTX 1000 Mobile also uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, whereas the Arc B370 is limited to an IGP bus interface.

The Arc B370 wins on efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is 28.6% lower than the RTX 1000 Mobile's 35 W TDP. Both use an IGP slot with no power connectors, so neither requires external power cabling, but the Arc B370 draws less power under the database's recorded TDP values. Its FP16 output of 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1 rate) exceeds the RTX 1000 Mobile's FP16 rating of 10.37 TFLOPS (1:1 rate), which means the Arc B370 delivers higher half-precision throughput per watt in workloads that can use the 2:1 ratio.

The release timing separates them as well. The RTX 1000 Mobile launched on 2024-02-25, while the Arc B370 is dated 2026-01-26. The RTX 1000 Mobile has an established production status with a predecessor and successor listed, while the Arc B370 is listed as active with no lineage. For any workload that demands dedicated memory, tensor core acceleration, or maximum rasterization throughput, the data points to the RTX 1000 Mobile. For a low-power integrated solution with competitive FP16 throughput, the Arc B370 has the advantage in the recorded specifications.
