Intel Arc B370 vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single direct comparison between the Intel Arc B370 and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The results are decisively one-sided. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell scores 9,579.5 points, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1,184 points. This translates to a delta of -87.6% for the Intel part, meaning the NVIDIA card outperforms it by roughly sevenfold in this specific workload.

The magnitude of this gap is not subtle. A score of 1,184 places the Intel Arc B370 at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in that scoring range are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1,186 points, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1,190 points, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1,192 points. The Intel part sits within 1% of these older discrete and mobile parts, which indicates that its absolute rendering throughput in this test is comparable to hardware from a much earlier era.

On the other side, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell achieves a 98th percentile ranking. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 182,109, a figure that includes additional workloads beyond the Steel Nomad run. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate are the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB at 183,725 points (-0.9%), the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation at 184,664 points (-1.4%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D at 178,050 points (+2.3%). The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell sits essentially at parity with these data-center and high-end workstation accelerators, trailing the A100 SXM4 80 GB by less than 1% and leading the RTX 4090 D by 2.3%.

The head-to-head count confirms the sweep: the Intel Arc B370 wins zero tests, and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell wins one. There is no recorded instance where the Intel part takes the lead. The data does not show a close contest, a narrow margin, or a competitive niche for the Arc B370 in this benchmark. The difference is absolute.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different design philosophies and market positions. The Intel Arc B370 is built on a 3 nm process node at Intel's foundry, using the Panther Lake chip with the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell uses the GB202 chip on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the Blackwell PRO W (x000) generation.

The transistor counts could not be more different. The Intel part's transistor count is listed as unknown, while the NVIDIA chip contains 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 122.9M per mm². The Intel part's die size is also unknown, which prevents a direct density comparison, but the NVIDIA chip is a massive piece of silicon by any standard.

Clock behavior diverges sharply. The Intel Arc B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell runs at a base of 1740 MHz and boosts to 2377 MHz. The Intel part's boost clock is slightly higher than NVIDIA's, but its base clock is drastically lower. Memory clocks differ as well: the Intel part uses system-shared memory with a clock listed as "System Shared," while the NVIDIA part runs GDDR7 at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Compute resources show a similar chasm. The Intel Arc B370 has 1,280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell has 14,080 shading units, 440 TMUs, 160 ROPs, 110 RT cores, and 440 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part has 11 times the shading units, 11 times the TMUs, 8 times the ROPs, and 11 times the RT cores. The Intel part's FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS, while the NVIDIA part delivers 66.94 TFLOPS. The FP16 figures tell a similar story: 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1) for Intel versus 66.94 TFLOPS (1:1) for NVIDIA.

Memory architecture could not be more different. The Intel Arc B370 uses system-shared memory with a system-shared bus width and system-dependent bandwidth. The NVIDIA part has 48 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus with 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part's memory configuration is entirely dependent on the host system, while the NVIDIA card has a fixed, dedicated memory subsystem.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell also carries dedicated hardware features that the Intel part lacks: 440 tensor cores for AI workloads. The Intel part has no tensor core count listed, suggesting it relies on other processing paths for such tasks. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level compatibility is identical.

The physical and power profiles differ dramatically. The Intel Arc B370 has a TDP of 25 W, is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connectors, and uses an IGP bus interface. The NVIDIA part has a TDP of 300 W, is a dual-slot card, requires a single 16-pin power connector, suggests a 700 W power supply, and uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The Intel part's display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," while the NVIDIA card offers 4x DisplayPort 2.1b. The NVIDIA card measures 267 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

The Verdict

The data makes the choice unambiguous for any workload that appears in this benchmark set. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell wins the only recorded head-to-head test by a margin of -87.6% for the Intel part. Its 98th percentile ranking places it among the fastest GPUs in the database, within 1.4% of the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation and 2.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D in aggregate score. The Intel Arc B370, at the 5th percentile, sits in the company of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570-class hardware.

For users requiring maximum rendering performance, the NVIDIA part is the only choice supported by the recorded data. Its 66.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 1.34 TB/s of memory bandwidth, and 48 GB of GDDR7 memory place it in an entirely different performance class. The Intel part's 6.144 TFLOPS and system-shared memory cannot compete on any recorded metric.

For users constrained to a 25 W integrated solution, the Intel Arc B370 exists in a separate category. Its IGP form factor, no power connectors, and system-dependent memory make it a different product type entirely. The data shows that it performs at a level comparable to legacy discrete parts from over a decade ago, which may be sufficient for basic rendering tasks but falls far short of the NVIDIA part's capabilities.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell also carries a launch MSRP of 5,099 USD, a figure that reflects its workstation positioning. The Intel part has no launch MSRP recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell wins every recorded benchmark category. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 9,579.5 versus 1,184 for the Intel Arc B370. In Geekbench OpenCL, it records 254,116 points, and in Geekbench Vulkan, 282,631 points. These additional results exist only for the NVIDIA part, giving it a broader benchmark footprint.

The Intel Arc B370's only recorded win is relative to the AMD FirePro M2000, which it leads by 1.4% in the Steel Nomad test. It trails the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 by 0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 by 0.5%, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M by 0.7%. These margins are within noise, but they establish that the Intel part's performance class is near these older parts.

The use-case split follows the hardware specifications. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, with 440 tensor cores and 66.94 TFLOPS FP16 throughput, is positioned for compute-heavy workstation tasks, AI inference, and professional rendering. Its 48 GB memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth support large datasets. The Intel Arc B370, with a 25 W TDP and IGP form factor, is suited for portable devices where power draw and physical integration matter more than peak performance. Its system-shared memory means its performance scales with the host system's memory configuration.

The release dates differ by roughly ten months: the NVIDIA part launched on 2025-03-17, while the Intel part launched on 2026-01-26. The NVIDIA card's predecessor is listed as Workstation Ada, while the Intel part has no predecessor recorded. Neither has a successor recorded in the database.

The data does not support any scenario where the Intel Arc B370 outperforms the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell. The single head-to-head result is a decisive victory for NVIDIA, and the percentile rankings place the two parts in entirely different performance tiers. The Intel part may find a role in low-power integrated contexts, but the recorded measurements show no overlap in capability with the NVIDIA workstation card.
