GPU Comparison

The Intel Arc A370M and NVIDIA TITAN RTX occupy opposite ends of the GPU spectrum, and the benchmark data reflects a decisive, though not unexpected, victory for the NVIDIA card. In the shared Geekbench tests, the TITAN RTX outperforms the Arc A370M by a massive margin, winning both head-to-head comparisons. The data shows the NVIDIA card scoring 144,858 in Geekbench OpenCL versus 29,676 for the Intel part, a delta of -79.5% from the perspective of the Arc A370M. Similarly, in Geekbench Vulkan, the TITAN RTX scores 136,073 against 28,673, a -78.9% delta. These are not close contests; they represent a generational and architectural chasm in raw compute capability.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmarks between the two products are Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan, and the results are unambiguous. In OpenCL, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX delivers 144,858 points, which is roughly 4.9 times the Arc A370M's score of 29,676. The deltaPct of -79.5% indicates that the Intel GPU achieves only about one-fifth of the NVIDIA card's performance in this compute-oriented workload. For Vulkan, the pattern repeats: the TITAN RTX scores 136,073, dwarfing the Arc A370M's 28,673, with a delta of -78.9%. This suggests that the NVIDIA card holds a consistent advantage across both OpenCL and Vulkan APIs, making it the clear winner for any application that leverages these interfaces.

Looking at the broader context, the Arc A370M's average benchmark score is 29,175, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH (average score 29,197, delta -0.1%), the AMD FirePro W8000 (29,211, -0.1%), the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28,996, +0.6%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28,874, +1%). This means the Arc A370M is essentially neck-and-neck with those mid-range parts, trading blows within a 1% margin. In contrast, the TITAN RTX's average score of 31,676 places it in the 76th percentile, with rivals like the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31,532, +0.5%), the Intel Arc Pro A30M (31,894, -0.7%), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31,220, +1.5%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31,206, +1.5%). The TITAN RTX is thus firmly in a higher performance tier, despite the percentile difference of only two points, because its absolute scores are significantly higher.

The head-to-head data also reveals a stark contrast in the volume of benchmarks available. The Arc A370M has only two Geekbench entries, while the TITAN RTX has ten, including multiple Passmark tests (DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, G2D, G3D, and GPU compute) and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. This disparity in test coverage means the TITAN RTX's average score is derived from a more diverse workload set, while the Arc A370M's average is based solely on Geekbench. Nevertheless, in the two tests they share, the TITAN RTX's dominance is total.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the data, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX wins every workload category where a direct comparison exists. In Geekbench OpenCL, which often reflects general-purpose GPU compute tasks, the TITAN RTX's 144,858 score is a crushing blow to the Arc A370M's 29,676. In Geekbench Vulkan, a graphics and compute API, the NVIDIA card again wins decisively with 136,073 versus 28,673. There are no benchmark wins for the Intel Arc A370M in the head-to-head data; the winsA field is 0, and winsB is 2.

For the TITAN RTX, additional strengths emerge from its own benchmark suite. It scores 20,491 in Passmark G3D, 10,034 in Passmark GPU Compute, and 3,794 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. It also handles legacy APIs well, with Passmark DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12 scores of 223, 147, 189, and 88, respectively, plus a Passmark G2D score of 860. These numbers suggest a card that is not only powerful for modern workloads but also retains compatibility and speed across older DirectX versions. The Arc A370M has no comparable data in these tests, so its potential in those areas cannot be quantified from the pack.

The Arc A370M's only claim to a "win" is in efficiency-related aspects, which are not benchmark scores. It has a TDP of 35 W versus the TITAN RTX's 280 W, and it is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a slot width of "IGP" compared to the TITAN RTX's dual-slot design. However, in terms of performance, the data provides no area where the Intel part comes out ahead. Its 74th percentile ranking and close rivalry with parts like the AMD Radeon RX 470 (delta +0.6%) show it is a competent entry-level mobile GPU, but it is not in the same league as the TITAN RTX.

The Verdict

The verdict is straightforward: the NVIDIA TITAN RTX is the superior GPU for anyone prioritizing raw performance. Benchmark results indicate it is nearly five times faster than the Intel Arc A370M in both Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan tests. The TITAN RTX's average benchmark score of 31,676 is higher than the Arc A370M's 29,175, and its 76th percentile ranking, while only two points higher, is backed by absolute scores that are multiples of the Intel part's. If the choice is between these two for any compute-intensive task, the data unequivocally favors the NVIDIA card.

However, the choice is not purely about performance. The Arc A370M is a mobile, integrated solution with a 35 W TDP, designed for thin-and-light laptops. It consumes a fraction of the power of the TITAN RTX, which requires a 600 W suggested PSU and dual-slot cooling. The TITAN RTX is a desktop behemoth with a 267 mm length and dual-slot width, making it unsuitable for compact builds. Therefore, the Arc A370M "wins" only in the sense of being a viable option for ultraportable systems where the TITAN RTX physically cannot fit. For users who need a GPU for gaming, rendering, or professional compute, the TITAN RTX is the only choice based on the numbers. For users who need a basic GPU for an ultrabook and do not require high-end performance, the Arc A370M is adequate, as evidenced by its 74th percentile standing among all GPUs.

Who should pick which? Strictly from the data, a user who values performance above all else, has a desktop chassis, and can accommodate a 280 W TDP and dual-slot cooler should pick the NVIDIA TITAN RTX. A user who needs a low-power, integrated GPU for a mobile device and accepts the performance trade-off should pick the Intel Arc A370M. There is no middle ground in the benchmarks; the TITAN RTX wins every test they share.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures and process technologies. The Intel Arc A370M uses the Xe-HPG architecture, specifically the DG2-128 chip, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the Alchemist generation (Arc 3 Mobile) and has a die size of 157 mm² with 7,200 million transistors, resulting in a transistor density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. In contrast, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX uses the Turing architecture with the TU102 chip, built on a 12 nm process, also at TSMC. Its die is significantly larger at 754 mm², housing 18,600 million transistors, but with a lower density of 24.7 million per square millimeter.

The compute resources differ dramatically. The Arc A370M has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The TITAN RTX has 4,608 shading units, 288 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 72 ray tracing cores, and 576 tensor cores. This translates to a peak FP32 performance of 4.198 TFLOPS for the Intel part versus 16.31 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card; FP16 performance is 8.397 TFLOPS and 32.62 TFLOPS, respectively. Pixel and texture rates also favor the TITAN RTX: 169.9 GPixel/s and 509.8 GTexel/s versus 65.60 GPixel/s and 131.2 GTexel/s for the Arc.

The memory subsystems are equally divergent. The Arc A370M uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus, yielding 112.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the TITAN RTX uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus, yielding 672.0 GB/s. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. However, the TITAN RTX's tensor cores give it a distinct advantage for AI and deep learning workloads, a feature the Arc A370M lacks entirely.

Specification Differences

The specification sheets reveal contrasts in nearly every measurable field. The process node differs: the Arc A370M is on 6 nm, while the TITAN RTX is on 12 nm. The die size is 157 mm² for Intel versus 754 mm² for NVIDIA. Transistor counts are 7,200 million versus 18,600 million. Clocks are also different: the Arc has a base of 1550 MHz and boost of 2050 MHz, while the TITAN RTX has a base of 1350 MHz and boost of 1770 MHz; both have identical memory clocks of 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective).

Memory capacity and bandwidth are starkly different: 4 GB versus 24 GB, and 112.0 GB/s versus 672.0 GB/s. The bus width is 64-bit for Intel and 384-bit for NVIDIA. Shader resources scale accordingly: 1,024 vs 4,608 shading units, 64 vs 288 TMUs, 32 vs 96 ROPs, and 8 vs 72 ray tracing cores. The TITAN RTX also has 576 tensor cores; the Arc has none. Power consumption is a major differentiator: TDP is 35 W for the Arc versus 280 W for the TITAN RTX. The Arc is an IGP with no power connectors or suggested PSU, while the TITAN RTX is dual-slot with 2x 8-pin connectors and a 600 W suggested PSU. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8 for Intel versus PCIe 3.0 x16 for NVIDIA. Display outputs are "portable device dependent" for the Arc, whereas the TITAN RTX has 1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, and 1x USB Type-C. Dimensions also differ: the TITAN RTX measures 267 mm in length, 116 mm in height, and 35 mm in width; the Arc has no listed dimensions. Both are end-of-life products, but the Arc was released in March 2022, while the TITAN RTX was released in December 2018. The TITAN RTX has a launch MSRP of 2,499 USD, while the Arc has none listed.
