Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B390 is built on Intel’s Panther Lake chip using the Xe3-LPG architecture, which belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The process node is 3 nm, fabricated by Intel. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40-series, and is fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. These fabrication differences lead to distinct transistor counts, though the Intel part’s transistor count is recorded as unknown while the NVIDIA chip carries 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die with a transistor density of 121.1 million transistors per square millimeter.

The Intel Arc B390 operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER runs at a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, meaning the NVIDIA part starts much higher and also boosts slightly higher. Memory configurations differ sharply: the Intel part uses system shared memory with a system shared type, bus width, and system-dependent bandwidth, while the NVIDIA part has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part’s memory clock is listed as System Shared, whereas the NVIDIA part runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed.

Compute resources show a large gap. The Intel Arc B390 has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 24 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 66 RT cores, and 264 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part also delivers higher pixel rate (250.6 GPixel/s versus 60.00 GPixel/s) and texture rate (689.0 GTexel/s versus 120.0 GTexel/s). Floating point performance follows the same pattern: the Intel part reaches 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 and 15.36 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio), while the NVIDIA part reaches 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 and 44.10 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio).

Power and physical design differ substantially. The Intel Arc B390 has a TDP of 80 W, uses no power connectors, and is an integrated graphics product (IGP) with a slot width of IGP. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 285 W, uses a single 16-pin power connector, requires a 600 W suggested PSU, and is a triple-slot card with dimensions of 310 mm length, 140 mm height, and 61 mm width. The bus interface is IGP for the Intel part and PCIe 4.0 x16 for the NVIDIA part. Display outputs are portable-device-dependent for the Intel part, while the NVIDIA part provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Both products support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA part’s predecessor is GeForce 30 and its successor is GeForce 50, while the Intel part has no recorded predecessor or successor.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data contains only a single head-to-head test: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. In that test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins with a score of 5569 versus the Intel Arc B390’s 1482, a delta of negative 73.4 percent for the Intel part. This gives the NVIDIA part one recorded win and the Intel part zero wins. The NVIDIA part also holds the advantage in the broader benchmark suite, with multiple scores across Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, and several Passmark tests. The Intel part has no scores beyond the single 3DMark test, so it cannot claim wins in any other workload category.

The Intel Arc B390’s strengths lie in its integrated nature. With a TDP of only 80 W, no power connectors, and an IGP slot width, it is designed for low-power, portable devices where discrete graphics are not feasible. Its system shared memory and system dependent bandwidth indicate it relies on the host system’s memory, which is typical for integrated parts. This makes the B390 a candidate for scenarios where power draw and physical space are constrained, not for high-end rendering.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, is a discrete, triple-slot card with a 285 W TDP and a dedicated 16 GB GDDR6X pool. Its 672.3 GB/s bandwidth and 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 give it a large performance headroom for demanding workloads. The benchmark results confirm this: the Passmark G3D score of 31811 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 199267 are orders of magnitude above the Intel part’s 1482 average. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the only product in this comparison that demonstrates broad applicability across compute and graphics benchmarks.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records one head-to-head benchmark between these two products: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. In this test, the Intel Arc B390 scores 1482 points, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 5569 points. The delta is negative 73.4 percent for the Intel part, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER outperforms the B390 by a factor of roughly 3.76. This is the only direct comparison available, and it decisively favors the NVIDIA product.

Beyond the head-to-head, the NVIDIA part’s standalone benchmarks reinforce its dominance. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 199267, and in Geekbench Vulkan it scores 53683. Passmark results include 181 for DirectX 10, 278 for DirectX 11, 119 for DirectX 12, 360 for DirectX 9, 1225 for G2D, 31811 for G3D, and 18372 for GPU compute. The Intel Arc B390 has no corresponding entries in the database, so its only recorded performance figure is the 1482 from 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

The nearest rival data for the Intel part places it among low-end NVIDIA mobile and OEM parts. The GT 520MX, 800M, GT 625 OEM, and GT 710 all score within 1.3 to 2.7 percent of the B390’s average of 1482. This places the B390 in a performance tier far below the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, whose nearest rivals are all desktop workstation or high-end gaming GPUs. The Quadro M5000, GRID M60-1Q, RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, and TITAN RTX sit within 0.4 to 1.9 percent of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s average of 31087, which itself is over twenty times the B390’s average.

The percentile rankings capture this separation: the B390 is at the 9th percentile, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at the 76th percentile. In practical terms, the data shows the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivering over three times the 3DMark Steel Nomad score, over twenty times the average benchmark score, and a percentile position that places it far above the majority of GPU database entries. The Intel Arc B390, with its 80 W TDP and integrated design, remains at the low end of the distribution, with no recorded wins in any benchmark category.
