Intel Arc Pro B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB Comparison

The Verdict

The data in this comparison is heavily one-sided due to missing measurement data for the Intel Arc Pro B370. The Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rivals listed. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB, by contrast, has eight recorded benchmark results, an average benchmark score of 2329, and a percentile rank of 15 among all GPUs in the database. The RTX 3050 6 GB also holds a 50th percentile ranking compared to all GPUs for the Intel Arc Pro B370, which is a placeholder value rather than a measured result. The only meaningful verdict available from the recorded data is that the RTX 3050 6 GB is a measured, shipping, end-of-life product with concrete performance data, while the Arc Pro B370 has no comparable database measurements to analyze.

The RTX 3050 6 GB delivers its strongest recorded result in the Passmark G3D test with a score of 10738, and its weakest in Passmark DirectX 12 with a score of 53. Its nearest rivals in the database are all older or lower-tier parts: the GeForce GT 640M at 2335 (0.3% ahead), the Quadro P620 at 2339 (0.4% ahead), the Intel HD Graphics 510 at 2305 (1% behind), and the GeForce GT 550M at 2363 (1.4% ahead). These deltas are all within roughly 1.5%, meaning the RTX 3050 6 GB sits in a tight cluster with those legacy parts in the database's scoring.

For the Arc Pro B370, the absence of benchmark scores means the database cannot place it relative to the RTX 3050 6 GB or any other GPU. It is listed as active production, uses an integrated graphics design, and carries a 25 W TDP. The RTX 3050 6 GB is a dual-slot discrete card with a 70 W TDP and a 250 W suggested PSU. Any user selecting between these two would be choosing between an integrated, low-power, currently active part with no measured data and a discrete, end-of-life part with a full benchmark record.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Pro B370 is built on the Xe3-LPG architecture and uses the Panther Lake chip, manufactured on a 3 nm process at Intel. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-WM generation tied to Panther Lake. Its predecessor is listed as HD Graphics-WM. The design uses 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 raster output units, and 10 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Memory is entirely system shared, with the bus width, type, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. The compute throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS for FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS for FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. Pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The TDP is 25 W, the slot width is IGP, and there are no power connectors. Display outputs are portable device dependent. The API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB uses the Ampere architecture with the GA107 chip, manufactured on an 8 nm process at Samsung. It has 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 43.5 million transistors per square millimeter. The GPU features 2304 shading units, 72 texture mapping units, 32 raster output units, 18 ray tracing cores, and 72 tensor cores. Base clock is 1042 MHz with a boost clock of 1470 MHz. Memory is 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus with 168.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed. FP32 throughput is 6.774 TFLOPS, and FP16 is also 6.774 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. Pixel rate is 47.04 GPixel/s and texture rate is 105.8 GTexel/s. The TDP is 70 W, the slot width is dual-slot, power connectors are none, and the suggested PSU is 250 W. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface and has display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. API support matches the Intel part: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The architectural gap is clear: a 3 nm integrated GPU with shared memory and a 25 W envelope versus an 8 nm discrete GPU with dedicated GDDR6 and a 70 W envelope. The RTX 3050 6 GB has more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more ray tracing cores, and dedicated tensor cores. The Intel part has a much higher boost clock (2400 MHz versus 1470 MHz) and a higher FP16 rate, but its memory bandwidth is system dependent and cannot be compared directly.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array in the database contains no entries, so there are no direct measured comparisons between the Intel Arc Pro B370 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB. The RTX 3050 6 GB has standalone scores across eight tests, but the Arc Pro B370 has none. The wins counter shows 0 for both parts, which reflects the empty head-to-head table.

The RTX 3050 6 GB's recorded scores are as follows. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 1515. In Passmark DirectX 10, it scores 59. In Passmark DirectX 11, it scores 72. In Passmark DirectX 12, it scores 53. In Passmark DirectX 9, it scores 124. In Passmark G2D, it scores 882. In Passmark G3D, it scores 10738. In Passmark GPU Compute, it scores 5192. The average benchmark score is 2329, and the percentile rank versus all GPUs is 15.

The nearest rival data for the RTX 3050 6 GB shows how tightly grouped it is with older parts. The GeForce GT 640M averages 2335, which is 0.3% higher. The Quadro P620 averages 2339, which is 0.4% higher. The Intel HD Graphics 510 averages 2305, which is 1% lower. The GeForce GT 550M averages 2363, which is 1.4% higher. These deltas indicate that the RTX 3050 6 GB's average score of 2329 places it in a narrow band among these legacy GPUs, with no rival exceeding a 1.4% margin.

Without any benchmark entries for the Arc Pro B370, the database cannot establish which part wins in any specific test. The only quantitative statements possible are about the RTX 3050 6 GB's standalone results and its position among its own nearest rivals.
