Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Pro B370 and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell represent fundamentally different design philosophies. Intel's chip, code-named Panther Lake, uses the Xe3-LPG architecture and belongs to the Arc Graphics-WM generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel. The NVIDIA part, based on the GB202 chip, uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and belongs to the Blackwell PRO W (x000) generation, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC.

The most striking architectural contrast lies in the execution resources. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell packs 14,080 shading units, 440 texture mapping units, and 160 ROPs. It also includes 110 ray tracing cores and 440 tensor cores. The Intel Arc Pro B370, by comparison, has 1,280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs, along with 10 ray tracing cores. NVIDIA's tensor cores are absent on the Intel side, which has no equivalent tensor hardware listed.

Memory architecture further separates the two. NVIDIA uses a dedicated 48 GB GDDR7 pool on a 384-bit bus, reaching 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth. Intel's solution relies entirely on system shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent. This means the Intel part's memory performance scales with the host platform, whereas the NVIDIA card has a fixed, high-bandwidth local resource.

Clock behavior also differs. The Intel Arc Pro B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2,400 MHz. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell runs at a 1,740 MHz base and 2,377 MHz boost. Despite similar boost clocks, the NVIDIA card's massive shader count produces far higher throughput rates: 380.3 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1,045.9 GTexel/s texture rate, versus 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s on the Intel part.

The interface and form factor reflect their intended roles. The Intel chip is an IGP with no slot width, no power connectors, and display outputs described as portable device dependent. The NVIDIA card is a dual-slot, 267 mm long, 111 mm tall, and 40 mm wide board using PCIe 5.0 x16, with four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, but the underlying hardware differs completely in scale and purpose.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the Intel Arc Pro B370 and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell. The Intel part has an empty benchmarks array and no average score, while the NVIDIA card records three results: 9,579.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 254,116 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 282,631 in Geekbench Vulkan.

Given the absence of shared tests, the comparison relies on the recorded data for the NVIDIA card and the architectural figures for both. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell's average benchmark score of 182,109 places it near the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB, which scores 183,725 (0.9% higher) and the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation at 184,664 (1.4% higher). It also outperforms the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D, which scores 178,050, by 2.3%. The A100 SXM4 40 GB leads the group with 187,147, which is 2.7% above the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell.

The Intel Arc Pro B370 shows no benchmark scores, so no direct comparison can be made from measured results. The 50th percentile ranking for the Intel part suggests mid-pack performance among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA card's 98th percentile indicates near-top-tier placement. The FP32 compute gap is stark: NVIDIA's 66.94 TFLOPS is more than ten times the Intel part's 6.144 TFLOPS. Similarly, the pixel rate of 380.3 GPixel/s on NVIDIA dwarfs Intel's 48.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate of 1,045.9 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s shows an order-of-magnitude difference in fill-rate capabilities.

For memory-bound workloads, the NVIDIA card's 1.34 TB/s bandwidth and 48 GB capacity provide a clear advantage over Intel's system shared memory, whose bandwidth is not fixed. The NVIDIA part also has a higher boost clock (2,377 MHz vs 2,400 MHz for Intel, a slight edge for Intel), but the core count difference overwhelms clock advantages.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell is a professional workstation GPU with top-tier performance, sitting at the 98th percentile with an average benchmark score of 182,109. Its nearest rivals in the database are other high-end NVIDIA parts: the A100 SXM4 80 GB (0.9% ahead), the RTX 5000 Ada Generation (1.4% ahead), and the GeForce RTX 4090 D (2.3% behind). The Intel Arc Pro B370, with no recorded benchmarks and a 50th percentile ranking, belongs to a different class: integrated graphics for portable devices.

The NVIDIA card's 14,080 shading units, 440 tensor cores, and 48 GB GDDR7 memory make it suitable for compute-heavy, graphics-intensive, and AI-accelerated workloads. Its 66.94 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 performance, along with 1.34 TB/s memory bandwidth, indicate a part designed for sustained professional use. The 300 W TDP and 700 W suggested PSU confirm its high-power design.

The Intel Arc Pro B370, with 1,280 shading units, 10 ray tracing cores, and 25 W TDP, is an integrated solution for power-constrained portable systems. Its system shared memory and lack of dedicated VRAM mean performance depends heavily on the host platform. The 3 nm process and Xe3-LPG architecture represent a modern, efficient design, but the raw compute resources are limited.

The verdict from the recorded data: the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell delivers professional-grade performance with a clear advantage in every measured category. The Intel Arc Pro B370 serves a fundamentally different use case, offering basic graphics capability in an integrated form factor without the need for a discrete power supply or expansion slot. For users requiring the NVIDIA card's compute and memory capacity, there is no comparison; for ultra-portable systems where power and space are constrained, the Intel part fills a distinct niche.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell wins in every performance category recorded in the database. Its 66.94 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 throughput suits compute-heavy simulation, rendering, and scientific workloads. The 48 GB GDDR7 memory with 1.34 TB/s bandwidth handles large datasets and high-resolution textures without spilling to system memory. The 440 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for AI inference and training tasks, a feature entirely absent from the Intel part. The 110 ray tracing cores support professional visualization with hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The 4x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and 300 W TDP indicate a card meant for fixed workstations with dedicated power delivery and multi-monitor setups.

The Intel Arc Pro B370 wins in portability and power efficiency. Its 25 W TDP allows operation without any power connector, making it suitable for thin-and-light portable devices. The 3 nm process and Xe3-LPG architecture represent a modern, energy-efficient design. The IGP form factor means no expansion slot is needed, and display outputs follow the host device. The system shared memory eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM, reducing bill of materials and board complexity. For basic graphics, video decode, and light 3D workloads on portable systems, the Intel part delivers functionality without the space, power, or thermal requirements of a discrete card.

The database indicates no shared benchmarks between the two, so wins are inferred from architectural data. In raw compute, memory bandwidth, and feature set, the NVIDIA card is the clear winner. In system integration, power draw, and form factor flexibility, the Intel part has the advantage. The NVIDIA card's 98th percentile and 182,109 average score place it among the fastest GPUs in the database, while the Intel part's 50th percentile suggests mid-range capability. Users needing professional-grade performance should choose the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell; users constrained to integrated graphics in portable devices will find the Intel Arc Pro B370 as the only option in this comparison.
