GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop vs Intel Arc A370M: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop vs Intel Arc A370M
The GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the Intel Arc A370M. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop starts at $20 CAD against $1,792 CAD for the Intel Arc A370M.
Power & Efficiency
The Intel Arc A370M draws just 50W versus 115W for the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 4GB, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Intel Arc A370M's 4GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Intel Arc A370M is roughly 6 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop (Alchemist vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Intel Arc A370M offers Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap. The Intel Arc A370M also has dedicated ray-tracing hardware that the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop lacks — a real gap if you play ray-traced titles.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop or Intel Arc A370M?
The GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is the faster card by about 50%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
