Intel Arc B390 Benchmarks Surface: A New Contender in the Entry-Level Space
New performance data now available on the PassMark software database regarding the Intel Arc B390 GPU include benchmarks logged on December 7, 2025. This unreleased graphics solution has thus established itself as a competent entry-level contender, showing a clear lead above venerable budget GPUs such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650.
Performance Overview: Arc B390 vs. The Competition
The scores observed in the leaked data, two baseline samples taken in November and December 2025, reveal that the Intel Arc B390 was able to acquire an average G3D Mark of 9,453, scoring decently above some legacy cards but below mid-range options like the RTX 2060.
Here are the G3D Mark scores for the Arc B390 against some well-known desktop GPUs:
- GeForce RTX 2060: 14,113
- Intel Arc B390: 9,453
- GeForce GTX 1650: 7,869
- GeForce GTX 1050 Ti: 6,350
- Intel UHD Graphics 620: 1,041
Thus, the data indicate that the B390 offers a considerable leap over integrated solutions like the UHD 620 and some 20 percent better synthetic performance than the GTX 1650. However, it is left far behind by the RTX 3060 (16,775) and RTX 4060 (19,546).
Detailed Test Results
Aside from the overall score, the PassMark entry lists specific framerate averages across DirectX versions for the Arc B390:
- DirectX 9: 112 Frames/Sec
- DirectX 10: 44 Frames/Sec
- DirectX 11: 74 Frames/Sec
- DirectX 12: 56 Frames/Sec
- GPU Compute: 3,548 Ops/Sec
Market Positioning
Ranking overall 313th in the PassMark database, with B390 appearing aimed at the low mid-range segment. While the price remains NA, the performance characteristics denote that the card is probably intended for budget-conscious builds or compact systems where efficient 1080p performance is given priority.
