AMD Radeon 680M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 680M holds all recorded benchmark wins in the database, but the comparison is constrained by a significant data gap. The AMD part has three benchmark entries: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 378 points, Geekbench OpenCL at 23,468 points, and Geekbench Vulkan at 21,965 points. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual currently has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means the head-to-head benchmark comparison cannot produce a direct per-test winner for the Intel card.

The use-case split is therefore driven by what the data does and does not contain. For integrated graphics workloads, the AMD Radeon 680M is the only part with measurable results, placing it in the 57th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, which reflects missing measurements rather than an actual performance floor.

The AMD Radeon 680M wins in any scenario where benchmark scores exist, since the Intel card has no scores to contest those results. In the OpenCL compute test, the AMD part records a score of 23,468, and in the Vulkan test it records 21,965. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 378 is the only direct DX12 data point available, and it belongs exclusively to the AMD card.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins only in the specifications that define its physical and memory architecture, which are covered in the specification and architecture sections. From a pure benchmark perspective, the Intel card cannot claim any wins because the database contains no measured results for it. The AMD card also posts an average benchmark score of 15,270, and its nearest rivals show it trading places with discrete GPUs: the GTX 580 scores 15,283 (0.1% above), the RTX 2060 scores 15,290 (0.1% above), the RTX 3050 OEM scores 15,199 (0.5% below), and the RX 7600 scores 15,171 (0.7% below). This places the integrated AMD part within 1% of several discrete graphics cards, indicating that its measured performance is competitive with dedicated hardware from the previous generation.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database currently has no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon 680M and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The AMD card has three individual benchmark scores, while the Intel card has none. This makes a direct per-test comparison impossible, so the analysis must rely on the AMD card's scores and the nearest rival data that the database provides.

The AMD Radeon 680M's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 378. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 23,468, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 21,965. The average of these results is 15,270, which places the card at the 57th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rival comparisons show a tight cluster: the GTX 580 at 15,283 is 0.1% higher, the RTX 2060 at 15,290 is 0.1% higher, the RTX 3050 OEM at 15,199 is 0.5% lower, and the RX 7600 at 15,171 is 0.7% lower. This indicates the AMD integrated solution performs near the level of those discrete cards in the aggregated benchmark metric.

Because the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries, it has no percentile ranking above the 50th percentile default and no nearest rival list. The data cannot confirm any performance claims for the Intel card. The only measurable outcome in the head-to-head section is that the AMD Radeon 680M is the sole participant with recorded results, and its scores place it among mid-range discrete GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD. The Intel card's absence from the benchmark data means any comparison of actual performance remains unresolved until measurements are recorded.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every physical and memory specification. The AMD Radeon 680M uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC with 13,100 million transistors on a 208 mm² die. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses a 5 nm process node from TSMC with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. Transistor density is 63.0 million per mm² for AMD and 72.1 million per mm² for Intel.

Memory configurations are fundamentally different. The AMD card uses system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth. The Intel card has 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 192-bit bus, and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. The AMD card's memory clock is listed as system shared, while the Intel card runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed.

Compute unit counts favor the Intel card substantially. The AMD Radeon 680M has 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. Pixel rate is 70.40 GPixel/s for AMD versus 192.0 GPixel/s for Intel.

Clock speeds are closer. Both have a 2000 MHz base clock. The AMD boost clock is 2200 MHz, while the Intel boost clock is 2400 MHz. Power delivery differs sharply: the AMD card is a 50 W IGP with no power connectors, while the Intel card is a 400 W dual-slot card with a 1x 16-pin power connector and an 800 W suggested PSU.

The bus interface differs as well. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, and the Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs are portable device dependent for AMD and 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 for Intel. The Intel card has physical dimensions of 300 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card's release date is January 2, 2023, while the Intel card's release date is September 4, 2025. The AMD card has a predecessor (Vega II IGP) and successor (Navi III IGP) in the database; the Intel card has neither. The Intel card has a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 680M is built on RDNA 2.0 architecture, specifically the Rembrandt+ chip, and belongs to the Navi II IGP (Rembrandt Mobile) generation. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses Xe2-HPG architecture with the BMG-G21 chip and belongs to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. These are fundamentally different GPU designs: AMD's is an integrated graphics solution tied to a mobile platform, while Intel's is a discrete professional card.

The manufacturing approach differs in both node size and transistor scale. AMD uses TSMC's 6 nm process and integrates 13,100 million transistors. Intel uses TSMC's 5 nm process and integrates 19,600 million transistors. The Intel die is larger at 272 mm² versus 208 mm², and its transistor density is higher at 72.1 million per mm² versus 63.0 million per mm².

The compute architecture reflects the different market positions. The AMD RDNA 2.0 design uses 768 shading units with 12 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The Intel Xe2-HPG design uses 2,560 shading units with 20 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The AMD card's FP32 throughput is 3.379 TFLOPS, while the Intel card's is 12.29 TFLOPS, a gap that aligns with the difference in shading unit counts and clock speeds.

Memory architecture is another major split. The AMD card has no dedicated VRAM and relies on system shared memory, making its bandwidth system dependent. The Intel card has a dedicated 24 GB GDDR6 pool with a 192-bit interface and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. This gives the Intel card a fixed memory performance profile that does not depend on the host system, whereas the AMD card's memory performance varies with the platform it is installed in.

Power and cooling architecture also differ. The AMD card is an IGP with a 50 W TDP, no slot width beyond the integrated designation, and no power connectors. The Intel card is a dual-slot discrete card with a 400 W TDP, a 1x 16-pin power connector, and an 800 W suggested PSU. The Intel card's physical design includes a 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width, with four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the AMD card's display outputs are portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear split. The AMD Radeon 680M is the only GPU in this comparison with benchmark results, and those results place it at the 57th percentile with an average score of 15,270. Its nearest rival data shows it within 0.7% of the RX 7600 and within 0.1% of the GTX 580 and RTX 2060, which makes it a competitive integrated option despite having only 768 shading units and a 50 W TDP. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm its performance level; it sits at the 50th percentile by default with an average score of zero.

For users selecting based on measured performance, the AMD Radeon 680M is the only part with evidence in the database. For users selecting based on architectural capability, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual offers a larger compute configuration: 2,560 shading units, 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, 12.29 TFLOPS FP32, and a 2400 MHz boost clock. The Intel card also has a later release date of September 4, 2025, versus January 2, 2023, for the AMD card, and it carries a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD.

The specification sheet favors the Intel card on raw resources and memory capacity, while the benchmark data favors the AMD card solely because it has measurable results. The AMD card's integrated nature, 50 W TDP, and system dependent bandwidth make it suitable for platforms where the GPU shares system memory. The Intel card's dual-slot design, 400 W TDP, 800 W suggested PSU, and dedicated 24 GB memory pool indicate a discrete workstation-oriented product, but its absence from the benchmark records leaves its actual performance unverified in this database.
