Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation Comparison

Intel Arc B370 and NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation occupy different corners of the hardware landscape, and the recorded data shows a decisive separation in performance class. The Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution built for a 25 W power envelope, while the RTX 4000 SFF is a dual-slot workstation card with a 70 W TDP. Benchmark results indicate the NVIDIA part operates in a completely different performance tier, sitting at the 95th percentile among all GPUs, whereas the Intel part lands at the 5th percentile.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two products, but the available individual benchmark scores reveal the scale of the gap. The Intel Arc B370 records a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 points. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation delivers Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores of 124812 and 109364 respectively, producing an average benchmark score of 117088. That average is roughly 99 times higher than the Intel part’s single-score result.

The Arc B370’s nearest rivals in the database illustrate its positioning. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, a mere 0.2% ahead, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% ahead. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% ahead, while the AMD FirePro M2000 trails at 1168, putting the Arc B370 1.4% ahead of that part. These are all older, low-power components, which confirms the Intel integrated GPU competes at the entry level of the performance spectrum.

The RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation sits among much faster company. The NVIDIA GB10 scores 117393, just 0.3% above the RTX 4000 SFF. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 scores 118976, putting it 1.6% ahead. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114395, which is 2.4% behind, and the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile scores 113944, 2.8% behind. This places the RTX 4000 SFF in the upper tier of workstation-class accelerators, with its nearest rivals being other high-end professional and data-center GPUs.

In raw compute terms, the RTX 4000 SFF delivers 19.17 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Arc B370 delivers 6.144 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA part also reaches 99.84 GPixel/s pixel throughput versus 48.00 GPixel/s for Intel, and 299.5 GTexel/s texture throughput versus 96.00 GTexel/s. Every measurable compute metric in the database favors the NVIDIA solution by a wide margin.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The Intel Arc B370 is built on the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. It uses a 3 nm process node fabricated by Intel. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation uses the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the Workstation Ada generation, built on a 5 nm process node from TSMC. Intel’s chip is the newer process, but the architecture targets integrated graphics rather than discrete workstation performance.

The RTX 4000 SFF has 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The Arc B370’s transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database. The NVIDIA part pairs its architecture with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 280.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc B370 uses system-shared memory, with its memory type, bus width, and bandwidth all marked as system dependent. This is a decisive difference: the NVIDIA card has dedicated, high-bandwidth VRAM, while the Intel part relies on whatever system memory is available.

Shader resources differ sharply. The RTX 4000 SFF contains 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, 48 ray tracing cores, and 192 tensor cores. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores, with no tensor core count listed. The NVIDIA part has roughly 4.8 times the shading units, 4.8 times the TMUs, 3.2 times the ROPs, and 4.8 times the RT cores. The NVIDIA GPU also includes tensor cores, which are absent from the Intel specification.

Clock behavior also differs. The Arc B370 has a 300 MHz base clock and a 2400 MHz boost clock. The RTX 4000 SFF runs a 720 MHz base and 1560 MHz boost, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz or 14 Gbps effective. The Intel part boosts higher, but the NVIDIA card compensates with far more execution units and dedicated memory bandwidth.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is less than half the 70 W TDP of the NVIDIA card, and it requires no power connectors at all, with a slot width listed as IGP. The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF is a dual-slot card that also uses no power connectors, but it carries a suggested PSU rating of 250 W. The Intel part is designed for portable devices, with display outputs listed as portable device dependent, and its bus interface is IGP, meaning it does not occupy a PCIe slot. The NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0 x16 and provides four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF wins in every performance category recorded. Its FP32 throughput of 19.17 TFLOPS is more than three times the Arc B370’s 6.144 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance is also 19.17 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part reaches 12.29 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The NVIDIA card’s 280.0 GB/s memory bandwidth stands against a system-dependent figure for Intel. The 20 GB GDDR6 frame buffer allows large workloads to stay local, while the Arc B370 must share system memory.

The RTX 4000 SFF is also the only one of the two with tensor cores, 192 of them, making it the clear choice for workloads that can use those units. The Arc B370 has no listed tensor core count. Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature support is identical.

Physical and power characteristics diverge completely. The Arc B370 is an IGP with no slot width beyond that designation, no power connectors, no suggested PSU, and a 25 W TDP. The RTX 4000 SFF is a dual-slot card measuring 168 mm or 6.6 inches in length and 69 mm or 2.7 inches in height, uses PCIe 4.0 x16, has four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, a 70 W TDP, and a 250 W suggested PSU.

Release timing also differs. The Intel Arc B370 was released on January 26, 2026, while the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation arrived on March 20, 2023. The NVIDIA part lists its predecessor as Workstation Ampere and its successor as Blackwell PRO W, while the Intel part has no predecessor or successor listed. The RTX 4000 SFF belongs to the GeForce 40-series product family, while the Arc B370 belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The NVIDIA card’s 95th percentile standing among all GPUs contrasts with the Arc B370’s 5th percentile, confirming the database places these products in entirely different performance brackets.
