Intel Arc B390 vs NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Comparison

The Intel Arc B390 and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super occupy different positions in the database. The Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor with a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super is a compact module with 8 GB LPDDR5 memory and no recorded benchmark score. This comparison relies on the single benchmark result for the Arc, the specification fields for both products, and the percentile placements assigned by the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no shared benchmark result between these two products. The database shows no head-to-head measurement, and neither product is credited with a win. The only benchmark entry in this comparison belongs to the Intel Arc B390: 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super has no benchmark entries, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0.

The Arc B390's 1482 score places it at the 9th percentile among all GPUs. Against its closest recorded competitor scores, the Arc leads by small margins: 1.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, which scores 1463; 1.5% above the NVIDIA GeForce 800M, which scores 1460; 2.5% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM, which scores 1446; and 2.7% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710, which scores 1443.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super is assigned a 50th percentile placement among all GPUs, but no benchmark score accompanies that placement. Because the Jetson has no recorded score, the database cannot produce a percentage difference between the two products. The largest measurable advantage in this comparison is therefore the Arc B390's 1482 score against an empty benchmark record for the Jetson, not a direct performance margin.

The Verdict

Based on recorded performance, the Arc B390 is the only product with a measurable result. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 places it in the 9th percentile, with the closest recorded competitor scores within 1.3% to 2.7% above or below it. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has no recorded score and is placed at the 50th percentile.

For a requirement that depends on a known 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result, the Arc B390 is the only product supported by the data. For a requirement that depends on the Jetson's listed hardware features, such as 8 GB LPDDR5 memory, 32 tensor cores, and a 25 W TDP, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is the only product supported by the data. The database does not provide enough information to declare an overall winner across both products.

Architecture Differences

The two products come from different chip designs. The Intel Arc B390 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture and is built on a 3 nm process at Intel. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super uses the GA10B chip with Ampere architecture and is built on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The Jetson lists a die size of 200 mm², while the Arc does not list a die size.

Compute resources differ. The Arc B390 has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 24 raster operation units, and 12 ray tracing cores. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 1024 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 raster operation units, and 32 tensor cores. The Arc does not list tensor cores, and the Jetson does not list ray tracing cores.

Clock behavior differs. The Arc B390 lists a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. The Jetson Orin Nano Super lists no base or boost clock; instead it lists a memory clock of 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective transfer.

Memory architecture differs. The Arc B390 uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus with 102.4 GB/s bandwidth.

Throughput numbers differ. The Arc B390 reaches 60.00 GPixel/s, 120.0 GTexel/s, 7.680 TFLOPS FP32, and 15.36 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio. The Jetson Orin Nano Super reaches 16.32 GPixel/s, 32.64 GTexel/s, 2.089 TFLOPS FP32, and 4.178 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio.

Where Each One Wins

On the only recorded benchmark, the Arc B390 wins by default because it has a score and the Jetson does not. The Arc also leads in shading units, texture mapping units, raster operation units, pixel rate, texture rate, FP32 throughput, FP16 throughput, and ray tracing core support.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super leads in the specification categories that the Arc does not match: 8 GB dedicated LPDDR5 memory, 102.4 GB/s memory bandwidth, 32 tensor cores, a 25 W TDP, a PCIe 4.0 x4 bus interface, and a 70 mm by 45 mm footprint. The Arc has no listed dimensions, no listed tensor cores, and no dedicated memory pool. The Jetson has no listed ray tracing cores and no recorded benchmark score.

For a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 workload, the recorded data supports the Arc B390. For a workload that depends on tensor cores or a dedicated 8 GB memory pool, the recorded data supports the Jetson Orin Nano Super. There is no shared benchmark result to determine which part wins a common workload.
