Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions these two processors at opposite ends of the GPU spectrum. The Intel Arc B370, an integrated graphics processor in the Panther Lake chip, delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. That score places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, meaning 95% of recorded graphics hardware outperforms it. Its nearest rivals in the database include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with an average score of 1186, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192, all within a narrow band of 0.2% to 0.7% ahead. The AMD FirePro M2000 trails slightly at 1168, which is 1.4% behind the Arc B370.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Workstation holds no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs, a far higher standing than the Arc B370's 5th percentile. The data does not include any head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two, and neither product records a win in direct competition. Buyers seeking a discrete workstation GPU with dedicated memory and a median performance standing should examine the NVIDIA part. The Intel integrated solution serves portable devices where graphics capability is secondary and system memory is shared. The data indicates no overlap in their intended usage scenarios.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process at Intel's foundry. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M generation for Panther Lake. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 uses the GB203 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The transistor counts differ enormously: the NVIDIA part contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, yielding a density of 120.6 million transistors per square millimeter. Intel's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database.

Clock behavior separates the two clearly. The Intel part runs a base clock of 300 MHz and boosts to 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a base clock of 1635 MHz and boosts to 2407 MHz, a modest 7 MHz advantage in boost. Memory architecture presents the starkest contrast. The Arc B370 uses system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth, meaning its performance scales with the host device's RAM. The RTX PRO 4500 carries 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

The Intel processor integrates 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 raster output units, and 10 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA processor uses 10496 shading units, 328 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 82 ray tracing cores, and 328 tensor cores. Intel lists no tensor core count. Pixel and texture rates follow the hardware counts: Intel achieves 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s, while NVIDIA reaches 269.6 GPixel/s and 789.5 GTexel/s. Floating point throughput shows Intel at 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. NVIDIA reaches 50.53 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, indicating equal performance across those precisions.

Power and physical design differ by design intent. The Intel Arc B370 draws 25 W, fits an IGP slot width, uses no power connectors, and relies on the portable device for display output. The NVIDIA card consumes 200 W, occupies a dual-slot width, requires a single 16-pin power connector, and lists a 550 W suggested PSU. Its dimensions measure 267 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility does not separate them. The NVIDIA card connects via PCIe 5.0 x16 and provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, while the Intel part uses an integrated bus interface.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP allows operation without external power connectors, and its IGP form factor suits thin portable devices. The system shared memory architecture means it uses whatever RAM the host provides, a flexibility that no discrete card offers. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184, while low in absolute terms, exceeds the AMD FirePro M2000 by 1.4%, showing it can edge past older discrete mobile workstation parts. The 300 MHz base clock with a 2400 MHz boost reveals a wide dynamic range that helps conserve power when idle.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 wins in raw compute, memory capacity, and bandwidth. The 32 GB GDDR7 pool with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth dwarfs any shared memory configuration. Its 50.53 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is roughly 8.2 times the Intel part's 6.144 TFLOPS. The 269.6 GPixel/s pixel rate is about 5.6 times higher than Intel's 48.00 GPixel/s. Texture rate of 789.5 GTexel/s exceeds Intel's 96.00 GTexel/s by a factor of about 8.2. The 328 tensor cores provide dedicated AI acceleration that the Intel part lacks entirely. The 82 ray tracing cores more than octuple the Intel's 10, indicating substantially stronger ray tracing workloads.

The database shows no head-to-head wins for either product, so direct benchmark victories cannot be assigned. Based on the recorded specifications, the Intel part serves light graphics duties in portable systems, while the NVIDIA card targets professional rendering, simulation, and AI tasks where its compute and memory resources matter. The median percentile rank of the NVIDIA card versus the 5th percentile of the Intel part frames the performance gap clearly.

The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% below the Arc B370. These deltas show the Intel part clustered tightly with decade-old discrete GPUs, within a 2% band across all four rivals.

Specification gaps substitute for missing benchmark data. The NVIDIA part's FP32 throughput of 50.53 TFLOPS versus Intel's 6.144 TFLOPS shows an 8.2x compute advantage. The pixel rate difference, 269.6 versus 48.00 GPixel/s, gives NVIDIA a 5.6x lead. The texture rate difference, 789.5 versus 96.00 GTexel/s, gives NVIDIA an 8.2x lead. The NVIDIA part's 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth cannot be matched by a system shared configuration whose bandwidth is system dependent. The 32 GB GDDR7 capacity versus shared system memory further separates the two.

The NVIDIA card's 10496 shading units versus Intel's 1280 indicates an 8.2x shading resource advantage. Its 328 TMUs versus 40 gives an 8.2x texture unit advantage. Its 112 ROPs versus 20 gives a 5.6x raster output advantage. The 82 ray tracing cores versus 10 gives an 8.2x ray tracing resource advantage. The 328 tensor cores have no Intel equivalent in the data.
