AMD Instinct MI300X vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

AMD Instinct MI300X vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual

The AMD Instinct MI300X and Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual occupy vastly different positions in the database, separated by design goals, market placement, and measured performance. The MI300X sits at the absolute top of the recorded performance distribution with a 100th percentile ranking, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual sits at the 50th percentile, representing the median GPU in the database. The MI300X delivers a Geekbench OpenCL score of 317,994, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark score in the database, leaving its performance position defined solely by its percentile ranking and architectural specifications. This comparison walks through the recorded data, benchmark standings, architectural differences, and what the measurements indicate for each product.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single recorded benchmark for the AMD Instinct MI300X: Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 317,994 points. This score places it in the 100th percentile of all GPUs, meaning no other recorded GPU achieves a higher score in the database. The nearest rivals provide context for this figure. The NVIDIA B200 leads with an average score of 345,482, putting the MI300X 8 percent behind that part. The NVIDIA H200 NVL scores 334,891, placing the MI300X 5 percent behind. Conversely, the MI300X leads the NVIDIA L40S, which averages 295,763, by 7.5 percent, and it leads the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation, which averages 287,237, by 10.7 percent. The MI300X thus sits in a tight cluster with the top NVIDIA accelerators, trailing the two highest-scoring parts by single-digit margins while clearly outpacing the next tier.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and it has no nearest rivals listed. The only performance context available is its 50th percentile ranking, which indicates it falls exactly at the median of all GPUs in the database. Without a recorded Geekbench OpenCL score or any other benchmark figure, the database cannot establish a direct numerical comparison between the MI300X and the Arc Pro B60 Dual. The head-to-head benchmark section is therefore defined by the MI300X's measured dominance and the Arc Pro B60 Dual's lack of any recorded measurement. The MI300X's 317,994 OpenCL score stands as the sole quantitative benchmark data point in this comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Instinct MI300X wins in every category where measured data exists. Its OpenCL score of 317,994 places it in the 100th percentile, which means it outperforms every other GPU in the database. The MI300X is designed for compute-intensive workloads, with its FP32 throughput rated at 81.72 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput also at 81.72 TFLOPS on a 1:1 ratio. Its memory subsystem provides 192 GB of HBM3 across an 8192-bit bus, yielding 5.32 TB/s of bandwidth. These figures support large-scale parallel computation, and the benchmark data confirms this positioning. The MI300X's nearest rivals in the database are all NVIDIA data center accelerators, and the MI300X beats two of the four listed rivals while trailing the other two by small margins.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in categories related to graphics output and consumer-facing features, based purely on its specification sheet. It is the only one of the two with display outputs, offering four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connections, while the MI300X has no display outputs at all. The Arc Pro B60 Dual supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, whereas the MI300X lists N/A for all three APIs. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and 80 ROPs, while the MI300X has a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s and 0 ROPs, confirming that the MI300X is not designed for rasterization or graphics rendering. The Arc Pro B60 Dual also has 20 ray tracing cores, a feature entirely absent from the MI300X's specification. For any workload involving graphics output, ray tracing, or traditional rendering pipelines, the Arc Pro B60 Dual is the only one of the two with the necessary hardware.

Architecture Differences

The MI300X uses the CDNA 3.0 architecture on a chip codenamed Aqua Vanjaram, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the Xe2-HPG architecture on a chip codenamed BMG-G21, also built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Both use the same process node and foundry, but the architectures diverge sharply in focus. CDNA 3.0 is AMD's compute-centric architecture, designed for data center acceleration, while Xe2-HPG is Intel's high-performance graphics architecture, designed for rendering and professional graphics workloads.

The transistor counts differ dramatically. The MI300X integrates 153,000 million transistors on a 1017 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 150.4 million transistors per square millimeter. The Arc Pro B60 Dual integrates 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1 million per square millimeter. The MI300X has nearly eight times the transistor count and nearly four times the die area, reflecting its role as a massive compute accelerator. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is a smaller, more conventional graphics processor.

The shading and texture resources also differ by an order of magnitude. The MI300X has 19,456 shading units and 1,216 texture mapping units, producing a texture rate of 2,553.6 GTexel/s. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units, producing a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s. The MI300X has no ROPs and no ray tracing cores, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual has 80 ROPs and 20 ray tracing cores. FP32 throughput tells the same story: the MI300X delivers 81.72 TFLOPS, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS. The FP16 figures are 81.72 TFLOPS for the MI300X on a 1:1 ratio and 24.58 TFLOPS for the Arc Pro B60 Dual on a 2:1 ratio. The MI300X's architecture prioritizes raw compute throughput, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual's architecture includes fixed-function graphics hardware that the MI300X lacks entirely.

Specification Differences

The memory subsystems are fundamentally different. The MI300X uses 192 GB of HBM3 on a 8192-bit bus with 5.32 TB/s of bandwidth, and its memory clock is 1300 MHz with 5.2 Gbps effective. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and its memory clock is 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective. The MI300X has eight times the memory capacity and over eleven times the bandwidth. The MI300X's memory type and bus width reflect its compute acceleration role, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual's GDDR6 and 192-bit bus reflect a more conventional graphics card design.

The clock speeds differ in the opposite direction. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, while the MI300X has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 2100 MHz. The Arc Pro B60 Dual runs at a higher clock speed, but the MI300X compensates with far more execution resources. Power consumption differs as well: the MI300X has a TDP of 750 W with a suggested PSU of 1150 W, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual has a TDP of 400 W with a suggested PSU of 800 W. The MI300X uses an OAM module slot width with no power connectors, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual uses a dual-slot design with a single 16-pin power connector.

The bus interfaces differ: the MI300X uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8. The MI300X has no display outputs, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual has four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The MI300X lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The physical dimensions are recorded only for the Arc Pro B60 Dual, which measures 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The release dates differ by roughly two years: the MI300X was released on December 5, 2023, and the Arc Pro B60 Dual was released on September 4, 2025. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD; the MI300X has no recorded MSRP. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has an active production status, while the MI300X's production status is not recorded.
