AMD Instinct MI325X vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Instinct MI325X or the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. Both products show an empty benchmark array, and both sit at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The average benchmark score for each is recorded as zero, which means no direct performance comparison can be drawn from measured data. This absence of results is notable given how differently the two accelerators are positioned in the hardware landscape.

The AMD Instinct MI325X is a data-center compute accelerator with a peak FP32 throughput of 81.72 TFLOPS and FP16 performance also at 81.72 TFLOPS on a 1:1 ratio. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS of FP16 on a 2:1 ratio. On paper, the MI325X holds a 6.65x advantage in FP32 throughput and a 3.32x advantage in FP16 throughput. However, these figures come from specification sheets, not from executed benchmarks. The database lists zero wins for either part in head-to-head testing, because no head-to-head tests were run.

The texture rate tells a similar story. The MI325X processes 2,553.6 GTexel/s, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual handles 384.0 GTexel/s. That is a 6.65x gap in texture fill rate, consistent with the FP32 difference. Pixel rate is a different matter entirely. The MI325X records 0 MPixel/s because it has no raster output units, whereas the Arc Pro B60 Dual reaches 192.0 GPixel/s with its 80 ROPs. For any workload that requires rasterization or traditional pixel output, the Intel card has the only measurable capability.

Memory bandwidth also diverges sharply. The MI325X provides 6.14 TB/s across an 8192-bit HBM3e interface, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual offers 456.0 GB/s over a 192-bit GDDR6 bus. That is a 13.46x bandwidth advantage for the AMD part. In memory-bound compute tasks, this gap would likely dominate any benchmark. The absence of actual benchmark data, however, prevents any confirmation of how these specifications translate into real workloads.

Because the database records no benchmark results for either product, the head-to-head section must rely entirely on published specifications. The data indicates that the MI325X is engineered for massive parallel compute, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual is built for workstation graphics with display output. The recorded wins counter remains at zero for both sides, reflecting the lack of measured performance data rather than any competitive outcome.

Architecture Differences

The two accelerators share a 5 nm manufacturing process from TSMC, but diverge in nearly every other architectural dimension. The AMD Instinct MI325X uses the CDNA 3.0 architecture on the Aqua Vanjaram chip, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual employs the Xe2-HPG architecture on the BMG-G21 die. The AMD part belongs to the Instinct (MIx) generation, and the Intel part belongs to the Battlemage Pro Series generation.

Transistor counts reveal a massive scale difference. The MI325X integrates 153,000 million transistors across a 1017 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 150.4 million per mm². The Arc Pro B60 Dual integrates 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, for a density of 72.1 million per mm². The AMD chip uses roughly 7.8x more transistors and occupies 3.74x more die area. The density gap indicates the AMD design packs far more logic per square millimeter.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The MI325X carries 19,456 shading units and 1,216 texture mapping units, with no ROPs. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The AMD part also lacks dedicated ray tracing cores, while the Intel part includes 20 RT cores. Neither product lists tensor cores in the database, so any AI acceleration claims must rest on the FP16 and FP32 paths alone.

Memory architecture separates the two decisively. The MI325X uses 256 GB of HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus, running at 1500 MHz with 6 Gbps effective speed. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, running at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed. The AMD memory subsystem delivers 6.14 TB/s, while the Intel subsystem delivers 456.0 GB/s. The capacity difference is 10.67x, and the bandwidth difference is 13.46x.

Clock behavior also differs. The MI325X runs at a 1000 MHz base and 2100 MHz boost. The Arc Pro B60 Dual runs at 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The Intel part starts at twice the base clock of the AMD part and boosts 14.3% higher. Yet the AMD part still achieves far higher throughput because of its much larger execution resource count.

API support is another dividing line. The MI325X lists DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support as N/A. The Arc Pro B60 Dual supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD accelerator has no display outputs, while the Intel card provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connections. The MI325X uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and the Arc Pro B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8.

Power and cooling configurations reflect their different deployment targets. The MI325X is an OAM module with no power connectors, drawing a 1000 W TDP and requiring a 1400 W suggested PSU. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is a dual-slot card with a single 16-pin connector, drawing 400 W TDP and requiring an 800 W suggested PSU. The AMD part consumes 2.5x the power of the Intel part.

Physical dimensions are recorded only for the Intel card: 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width. The MI325X dimensions are not listed, consistent with its modular form factor.

The Verdict

The data draws a clear line between two products built for entirely different tasks. The AMD Instinct MI325X is a compute accelerator with no display output, no graphics API support, and no rasterization hardware. Its specifications point toward large-scale parallel workloads: 256 GB of HBM3e, 6.14 TB/s of memory bandwidth, 81.72 TFLOPS of FP32, and 19,456 shading units. It consumes 1000 W and mounts as an OAM module, which indicates a server rack deployment rather than a desktop workstation.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is a workstation graphics card. It has four display outputs, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, includes 20 ray tracing cores, and delivers 192.0 GPixel/s of pixel throughput. Its 24 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth suit graphics workloads and moderate compute tasks. It draws 400 W and fits in a dual-slot PCIe form factor with a single 16-pin connector.

The recorded data shows no benchmark results for either product, so the verdict must rest on architectural intent. The MI325X is the choice for data-center compute where raw FP32 or FP16 throughput and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is the choice for any workload requiring display output, graphics API compatibility, or ray tracing support. The MI325X holds a 6.65x advantage in FP32, a 3.32x advantage in FP16, and a 13.46x advantage in memory bandwidth. The Arc Pro B60 Dual holds a 100% advantage in base clock, a 14.3% advantage in boost clock, and exclusive capability in pixel output and graphics APIs.

Neither product can substitute for the other in their intended roles. The MI325X cannot drive a monitor, and the Arc Pro B60 Dual cannot match the AMD part's compute scale. The production status of the Intel card is listed as active, while the AMD card has no production status recorded. The release dates differ by roughly 11 months, with the MI325X arriving first on 2024-10-09 and the Arc Pro B60 Dual on 2025-09-04. The Intel card carries a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD. The AMD card has no listed launch MSRP.

Users seeking a server-side compute accelerator should look at the MI325X based on its specification sheet. Users seeking a workstation graphics card with modern API support and display outputs should look at the Arc Pro B60 Dual. The benchmark database currently provides no measured performance to refine this assessment, so the decision rests on the recorded architectural and specification data alone.
