Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 is built on Intel's 3 nm process and uses the Xe3-LPG architecture with the Panther Lake chip. The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation uses TSMC's 5 nm process and the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip. The B370 belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation, while the NVIDIA part belongs to the Ada-MW generation and lists its predecessor as Ampere-MW and successor as Blackwell-MW.

The B370 integrates 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, which is 2.4 times the shading units, 2.4 times the TMUs, and 2.4 times the ROPs. The Intel part includes 10 ray tracing cores, while the NVIDIA part includes 24 RT cores. NVIDIA also adds 96 tensor cores, a feature class the Intel B370 does not list.

The transistor counts differ substantially. The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation contains 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.9M per mm². The B370's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown. Clock behavior differs as well: the B370 has a 300 MHz base and a 2400 MHz boost, whereas the NVIDIA part has a 1530 MHz base and a 2010 MHz boost.

The NVIDIA part uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part uses an IGP bus interface. Both are listed as IGP slot width with no power connectors and portable-device-dependent display outputs. The B370 carries a 25 W TDP, and the NVIDIA part carries a 50 W TDP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation. The wins count for each is 0. Direct numerical comparison across the same test is therefore not available from the recorded measurements.

What can be examined is the B370's position in the broader database. Its 1184 score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 places it at the 5th percentile, with nearest rivals within a narrow band. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 averages 1186, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 averages 1190, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M averages 1192. The AMD FirePro M2000 averages 1168. The B370 is effectively clustered within roughly one percent of those parts, showing no decisive margin over any of them.

The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark score in the database. Its percentile of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs, but the lack of a measured score prevents a direct delta calculation. The data shows the NVIDIA part has the higher theoretical throughput: 12.35 TFLOPS FP32 versus 6.144 TFLOPS for the Intel B370, a difference that indicates the NVIDIA part can process roughly twice the floating-point work per cycle in the recorded specifications.

Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern. The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation lists 96.48 GPixel/s and 193.0 GTexel/s. The Intel B370 lists 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA part doubles both rates. FP16 performance also differs: the B370 reaches 12.29 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the NVIDIA part reaches 12.35 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates two different design targets. The Intel Arc B370 is a low-power integrated part at 25 W with system-shared memory, built for a portable device context. Its 5th percentile ranking and narrow margins against older discrete GPUs suggest it delivers entry-level performance. The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation is a 50 W part with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory and a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, aimed at a higher performance class.

The absence of a measured benchmark score for the NVIDIA part makes a direct performance verdict impossible from the database. What can be stated is that the specification sheet for the NVIDIA part dominates in every compute metric: shading units, texture units, ROPs, RT cores, FP32 throughput, and memory bandwidth. The B370 has a higher boost clock (2400 MHz versus 2010 MHz) and a smaller process node (3 nm versus 5 nm), but those advantages appear in a part with half the shading units and half the memory throughput capability.

The B370's nearest rivals, all scoring between 1168 and 1192, show that its 1184 average is a mid-pack result among a cluster of older parts. The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation's 50th percentile ranking suggests it occupies the middle of the entire GPU distribution, but without a recorded score, the delta cannot be quantified. The data supports picking the NVIDIA part for workloads that need sustained compute and dedicated memory, and the Intel part for integration contexts where the 25 W envelope and system-shared memory are acceptable.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency on paper. Its 25 W TDP is half the 50 W TDP of the NVIDIA part. It also carries the higher boost clock at 2400 MHz versus 2010 MHz, and the newer 3 nm process node at Intel versus the 5 nm node at TSMC. For a portable device where thermal and power budgets are tight, the B370 offers a lighter footprint with no power connectors and an IGP bus interface.

The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation wins in raw compute specifications. Its 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs are each 2.4 times the Intel counts. The 12.35 TFLOPS FP32 figure is roughly double the B370's 6.144 TFLOPS. The 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth over a 128-bit GDDR6 bus is a dedicated resource, whereas the B370 depends on system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth.

The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation also wins on ray tracing and AI-related features. It has 24 RT cores versus 10, and 96 tensor cores where the B370 lists none. The 1:1 FP16 ratio on the NVIDIA part means FP16 throughput matches FP32 at 12.35 TFLOPS, while the B370's 2:1 ratio delivers 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 from a 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 base.

The B370 wins on release recency, dated 2026-01-26 versus the NVIDIA part's 2023-03-20. The NVIDIA part wins on ecosystem maturity, with a documented predecessor and successor in the database. The B370 has no listed predecessor or successor. For applications that depend on the PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, the NVIDIA part is the only one of the two that lists it. For applications that require a specific transistor count or die size, only the NVIDIA part provides those figures: 18,900 million transistors on 159 mm².
