Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison available is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB wins with 4019 points. The Intel Arc B390 finishes with 1482 points. The recorded delta is -63.1%, which means the Arc B390 trails by 63.1% in this test. The database counts 1 benchmark win for the NVIDIA part and 0 for the Intel part.

Context from the nearest-rival lists reinforces the gap. The Arc B390's average score of 1482 is 1.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463), 1.5% above the NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1460), 2.5% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446), and 2.7% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (1443). The RTX 5060 Ti's average score of 4970 is 0.2% below the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (4979), 0.6% below the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics (4998), 0.8% above the AMD Radeon R7 M360 (4931), and 0.8% above the AMD Radeon R7 M265 (4929).

Where Each One Wins

The win split is lopsided. The Arc B390 has no recorded benchmark wins. The RTX 5060 Ti wins the only shared test, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with the Arc B390 trailing by 63.1%. In addition to that DirectX 12 result, the database includes PassMark records for the RTX 5060 Ti only: DirectX 9 scores 238, DirectX 10 scores 144, DirectX 11 scores 219, DirectX 12 scores 89, G2D scores 1206, G3D scores 22618, and GPU compute scores 11224. The Arc B390 has no PassMark entries in the database, so no PassMark-based win can be assigned to it.

Because the Arc B390 is an IGP with system shared memory, no power connectors, and display outputs described as Portable Device Dependent, its form factor is integrated. The RTX 5060 Ti is a dual-slot card with 16 GB GDDR7 memory. In the shared benchmark, the NVIDIA part is the winner; the Intel part's only recorded result is its Steel Nomad score.

Architecture Differences

Beyond the specification table, the architecture records show distinct designs. The Arc B390 is an IGP using Xe3-LPG, built on the Panther Lake chip for the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The RTX 5060 Ti is a dual-slot Blackwell 2.0 part using the GB206 chip in the GeForce 50 generation. The Intel part uses a 3 nm process at Intel; the NVIDIA part uses a 5 nm process at TSMC. Cache sizes are not recorded in the database for either part.

Compute resources follow the same split. The Arc B390 has 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 12 RT cores. The RTX 5060 Ti has 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 36 RT cores, plus 144 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part also records higher pixel and texture rates: 123.5 GPixel/s versus 60.00 GPixel/s, and 370.4 GTexel/s versus 120.0 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 23.70 TFLOPS versus 7.680 TFLOPS. FP16 throughput is 23.70 TFLOPS (1:1) versus 15.36 TFLOPS (2:1).

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The Arc B390 uses System Shared memory with bandwidth described as System Dependent. The RTX 5060 Ti uses 16 GB GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s. The Arc B390 is an IGP with no power connector and an 80 W TDP; the RTX 5060 Ti is a dual-slot card with a 1x 8-pin connector, a 180 W TDP, and a suggested PSU of 450 W. Both parts list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The recorded data selects the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB for the only benchmark where both parts have scores. It leads 4019 to 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12; the Intel part trails by 63.1%. The win count is 1 for NVIDIA and 0 for Intel. The percentile rank is 29 for the NVIDIA part and 9 for the Intel part. The average benchmark score is 4970 versus 1482.

The Arc B390 does not win any recorded benchmark. Its advantages are structural rather than measured: an integrated form factor, no power connector, system shared memory, and an 80 W TDP. The RTX 5060 Ti carries a 180 W TDP, a 1x 8-pin connector, and a suggested PSU of 450 W. The data does not identify a scenario where the Arc B390 wins. For the workloads represented in the database, the RTX 5060 Ti is the faster option; the Arc B390's data does not support a performance win.
