Analysis: Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation
The database contains one direct benchmark comparison between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation, and it is decisive. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the NVIDIA card scores 1767, the Intel integrated GPU scores 1184, and the recorded delta is -33 percent. The RTX 2000 Ada sits at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, while the Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile. These are not adjacent products: one is a discrete workstation card with 16 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, the other is an IGP with system shared memory.
The Verdict
Strictly from the recorded data, the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation is the performance pick. It wins the only head-to-head benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with 1767 points to 1184 for the Intel Arc B370. The recorded delta is -33 percent, meaning the Arc's score is 33 percent below the RTX's score. The RTX also ranks at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, versus the 5th percentile for the Arc. The nearest-rival data reinforces this gap: the Arc's average score of 1184 places it near ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, ATI Radeon HD 5770, AMD Radeon HD 7650M, and AMD FirePro M2000, while the RTX's average score of 18954 places it near AMD Radeon RX 6600, NVIDIA Quadro K6000, NVIDIA Tesla K80, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile. The Arc has zero recorded head-to-head wins; the RTX has one. The only scenario where the Arc is the natural selection is an integrated-platform one: it is an IGP with a 25 W TDP, no power connector, and system shared memory. The RTX is a dual-slot 70 W card, 168 mm by 69 mm, with a 250 W suggested PSU. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation had a launch MSRP of 649 USD.
Architecture Differences
Intel builds the Arc B370 around the Panther Lake chip and Xe3-LPG architecture on a 3 nm process at Intel. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. NVIDIA builds the RTX 2000 Ada around the AD107 chip and Ada Lovelace architecture on TSMC's 5 nm process, in the Workstation Ada (x000A) generation. The NVIDIA die contains 18,900 million transistors on 159 mm², a density of 118.9M per mm². The Intel part's transistor count and die size are unknown in the database. Both parts carry an Active production status.
The compute resources differ by a wide margin. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 RT cores; no tensor core count is listed. The RTX 2000 Ada has 2816 shading units, 88 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 22 RT cores, and 88 tensor cores. FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS for the Arc and 12.00 TFLOPS for the RTX. FP16 throughput is 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1) for the Arc and 12.00 TFLOPS (1:1) for the RTX, a rare nominal advantage for the Intel part in a specification column. Pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s for the Arc and 102.2 GPixel/s for the RTX; texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s for the Arc and 187.4 GTexel/s for the RTX.
Memory architecture is the largest structural difference. The Arc B370 uses system shared memory, with system dependent bandwidth. The RTX 2000 Ada has 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and a 2000 MHz, 16 Gbps effective memory clock. The Arc's base clock is 300 MHz and its boost clock is 2400 MHz. The RTX's base clock is 1620 MHz and its boost clock is 2130 MHz.
Physical specifications continue the split. The Arc is an IGP with a 25 W TDP, no power connector, and display outputs described as portable device dependent. The RTX is a dual-slot card with a 70 W TDP, no power connector, a 250 W suggested PSU, PCIe 4.0 x8, and four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The RTX measures 168 mm by 69 mm. Both GPUs list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX's recorded predecessor is Workstation Ampere and its successor is Blackwell PRO W; the Arc has no predecessor or successor in the database.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The head-to-head table contains one entry: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The RTX 2000 Ada scores 1767; the Arc B370 scores 1184. The database records a -33 percent delta, so the Intel GPU's result is 33 percent lower than the NVIDIA result. This is the biggest win in the comparison and also the only win. The win count is 1 for NVIDIA and 0 for Intel.
The surrounding data gives context. The Arc B370's average benchmark score is 1184. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186 (-0.2 percent), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 (-0.5 percent), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 (-0.7 percent), and the AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168 (+1.4 percent). The RTX 2000 Ada's average benchmark score is 18954. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 at 19030 (-0.4 percent), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 at 19036 (-0.4 percent), the NVIDIA Tesla K80 at 18866 (+0.5 percent), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile at 19049 (-0.5 percent).
The RTX's average is built from a larger set of recorded tests, including Geekbench OpenCL at 78074, Geekbench Vulkan at 83360, Passmark G3D at 16927, and Passmark GPU Compute at 7834. The Arc's average is identical to its single recorded benchmark score. Both products support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), so the Steel Nomad comparison takes place within the same API generation.

Where Each One Wins
On the recorded benchmark, NVIDIA wins outright. The only direct comparison, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, ends at 1767 for the RTX 2000 Ada and 1184 for the Arc B370, with a -33 percent delta. The Arc has no recorded head-to-head win, and the RTX has one.
The Arc B370 still has a defined use case in the data. It is an integrated GPU with a 25 W TDP, no power connector, and system shared memory, built on Intel's 3 nm process with the Xe3-LPG architecture. Its FP16 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1) is nominally higher than the RTX's 12.00 TFLOPS (1:1), although no FP16 benchmark is recorded to verify a win. The RTX 2000 Ada is a dual-slot 70 W discrete card with 16 GB of GDDR6, 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, and a 250 W suggested PSU. For a system that requires an integrated GPU with no dedicated VRAM and no power connector, the Arc is the only one of the two that fits. For any recorded performance comparison, the RTX is the winner.
