Intel Arc Pro B370 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Comparison

The Verdict

The data places these two devices in entirely different segments. The Intel Arc Pro B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) designed for portable devices, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is a dual-slot discrete add-in board. The RTX 5060 holds the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, while the Arc Pro B370 sits at the 50th percentile. The RTX 5060 carries an average benchmark score of 26331, whereas the Arc Pro B370 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database.

The RTX 5060 is the clear choice for any workload requiring sustained graphics throughput, dedicated memory, or ray tracing performance. Its 3840 shading units, 30 RT cores, and 8 GB of GDDR7 memory provide a hardware foundation that the integrated Arc solution cannot match. The Arc Pro B370, with its 25 W TDP and system-shared memory, is suited for thin-and-light portable devices where power draw and physical space are the primary constraints.

Architecture Differences

The two processors represent fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Arc Pro B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process at Intel's foundry. It is part of the Arc Graphics-WM generation and serves as the successor to HD Graphics-WM. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 uses the GB206 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process with 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.0M per mm².

The compute resources differ substantially. The Arc Pro B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 render output units, and 10 RT cores. The RTX 5060 has 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 30 RT cores, and 120 tensor cores. The Arc Pro B370 has no tensor core count listed, while the RTX 5060's 120 tensor cores support AI-accelerated workloads. The FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS for the Intel part versus 19.18 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA part. The Arc Pro B370 achieves 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 5060 delivers 19.18 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio.

Memory architecture is a decisive differentiator. The Arc Pro B370 uses system-shared memory, with bandwidth described as system-dependent. The RTX 5060 has 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The Intel part's base clock is 300 MHz with a 2400 MHz boost, while the RTX 5060 runs at 2280 MHz base and 2497 MHz boost.

Power and physical specifications separate the designs further. The Arc Pro B370 has a 25 W TDP, is an IGP with no power connectors, and uses the IGP bus interface. The RTX 5060 has a 145 W TDP, requires a single 8-pin power connector, suggests a 300 W PSU, and uses PCIe 5.0 x8. The NVIDIA card measures 241 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, occupying a dual-slot configuration. Display outputs for the Intel part are portable-device dependent, while the RTX 5060 provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5060 wins in every benchmark category where data exists. The recorded benchmark suite includes 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, PassMark DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12, PassMark G2D, G3D, and GPU Compute. The Arc Pro B370 has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning the comparison is one-sided: the RTX 5060 demonstrates measurable performance across all tested workloads, while the Intel part has no recorded scores.

For discrete graphics workloads such as gaming, rendering, or GPU compute, the RTX 5060 delivers 19.18 TFLOPS FP32, 119.9 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 299.6 GTexel/s texture rate. These figures indicate a part designed for high-throughput tasks. The Arc Pro B370's 6.144 TFLOPS, 48.00 GPixel/s, and 96.00 GTexel/s are roughly a third of the NVIDIA part's throughput, which aligns with its integrated positioning.

The Arc Pro B370's advantage lies in power efficiency and integration. At 25 W TDP, it consumes substantially less power than the RTX 5060's 145 W. The Intel part requires no power connectors and occupies no expansion slot, making it suitable for portable devices where the display outputs are device-dependent. The RTX 5060 requires a dual-slot footprint, an 8-pin connector, and a 300 W PSU recommendation.

The RTX 5060's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its standing. The AMD Radeon 860M scores 26401, which is 0.3% higher than the RTX 5060's average. The NVIDIA GeForce MX550 scores 26421, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26553, 0.8% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT scores 26011, which is 1.2% lower. This places the RTX 5060 in a tight competitive cluster where the differences are within roughly one percentage point.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two GPUs, and the Intel Arc Pro B370 has no individual benchmark scores recorded. The comparison therefore relies on the RTX 5060's measured results and the architectural specifications of both parts.

The RTX 5060's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 3628. In Geekbench OpenCL it scores 112787, and in Geekbench Vulkan it scores 113321. The PassMark suite shows a G3D score of 20891, a GPU Compute score of 10899, and a G2D score of 1154. The legacy DirectX tests show 225 for DirectX 9, 200 for DirectX 11, 127 for DirectX 10, and 77 for DirectX 12. The average benchmark score across all tests is 26331.

The architectural gap between the two parts is quantifiable through their compute rates. The RTX 5060's FP32 throughput of 19.18 TFLOPS is roughly three times the Arc Pro B370's 6.144 TFLOPS. The pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s represents a 2.5x advantage. The texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s is approximately a 3.1x difference. These ratios align with the shading unit count difference: 3840 versus 1280 is exactly 3x.

The RTX 5060's tensor core count of 120 provides AI acceleration capability that the Intel part does not list. The RT core counts differ by 3x as well, with 30 versus 10. The memory bandwidth gap is not directly comparable because the Intel part's bandwidth is system-dependent, but the RTX 5060's fixed 448.0 GB/s represents a dedicated, consistent resource.

The release timeline shows the RTX 5060 launched on 2025-05-18, while the Arc Pro B370 launched on 2026-01-26. The RTX 5060's predecessor is GeForce 40, and its successor is GeForce 60. The Arc Pro B370's predecessor is HD Graphics-WM. The RTX 5060 has a launch MSRP of 299 USD.

The RTX 5060's percentile ranking of 72 places it above the majority of all GPUs in the database. The Arc Pro B370's 50th percentile indicates a median position. With no benchmark scores recorded for the Intel part, its percentile is derived from specifications rather than measured performance. The practical conclusion from the data is that the RTX 5060 is a discrete, high-throughput GPU for desktop systems, while the Arc Pro B370 is an integrated solution for portable devices with minimal power draw and no expansion requirements.
