AMD Radeon 680M vs Intel Arc Pro B70 Comparison

AMD Radeon 680M vs Intel Arc Pro B70

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Arc Pro B70 and AMD Radeon 680M do not share any head-to-head benchmark results in the database. The Arc Pro B70 has no recorded benchmark entries, meaning its average benchmark score is listed as zero. The Radeon 680M, by contrast, has three recorded tests: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 378, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 23468, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 21965. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 15270.

The absence of comparable measurements means a direct performance comparison cannot be drawn from the recorded data. The Radeon 680M sits at the 57th percentile among all GPUs, while the Arc Pro B70 sits at the 50th percentile, though that percentile is based on no actual benchmark runs. The Radeon 680M’s nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 with an average score of 15283 and a delta of -0.1 percent, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with an average score of 15290 and a delta of -0.1 percent, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM with an average score of 15199 and a delta of 0.5 percent, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 with an average score of 15171 and a delta of 0.7 percent. These deltas indicate the Radeon 680M is effectively within one percent of all four rivals in average score, placing it in a tightly clustered performance band.

The Arc Pro B70 has no nearest rivals listed, so no comparative deltas exist. Its average benchmark score of zero means no performance estimate can be derived from measured results. The database treats the Arc Pro B70 as having a 50th percentile placement, but this is a placeholder rather than a measured outcome. Consequently, the head-to-head section must rely on the Radeon 680M’s recorded results alone, plus architectural expectations from the specification data.

Architecture Differences

The Radeon 680M uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture on a 6 nm TSMC process node. It is classified as a Navi II IGP from the Rembrandt Mobile generation, built on the Rembrandt+ chip. The integrated GPU contains 13,100 million transistors on a 208 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 63.0 million transistors per square millimeter. The Arc Pro B70 uses the Xe2-HPG architecture on a 5 nm TSMC process node, from the Battlemage Pro Series generation, built on the BMG-G31 chip. Its transistor count is listed as unknown, but its die size is 368 mm², significantly larger than the Radeon 680M’s die.

The Radeon 680M integrates 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. It also includes 12 ray tracing cores. The Arc Pro B70 scales far higher in every throughput category: 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, 128 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The shading unit count alone represents a 5.3x difference in favor of the Arc Pro B70. Pixel rate for the Radeon 680M is 70.40 GPixel/s, while the Arc Pro B70 reaches 358.4 GPixel/s. Texture rate for the Radeon 680M is 105.6 GTexel/s, versus 716.8 GTexel/s for the Arc Pro B70. Floating point performance follows the same pattern: the Radeon 680M delivers 3.379 TFLOPS FP32 and 6.758 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1), while the Arc Pro B70 delivers 22.94 TFLOPS FP32 and 45.88 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1).

Clock speeds also differ substantially. The Radeon 680M has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2200 MHz. The Arc Pro B70 has a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz. The Arc Pro B70 runs at higher base and boost frequencies despite its much larger shader array. Memory architecture is completely different: the Radeon 680M uses system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth, while the Arc Pro B70 uses 32 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256 bit bus with 608.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock for the Arc Pro B70 is listed as 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon 680M is an integrated graphics solution with no power connectors and a slot width of IGP, consuming 50 W TDP. The Arc Pro B70 is a dual-slot discrete card requiring one 8-pin power connector, with a 230 W TDP and a suggested power supply of 550 W. The bus interface differs as well: the Radeon 680M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the Arc Pro B70 uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon 680M wins in the absence of any measured Arc Pro B70 benchmarks. Its recorded scores provide actual data points: 378 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 23468 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 21965 in Geekbench Vulkan. These results place it at the 57th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15270. The nearest rival data shows the Radeon 680M sits within 0.7 percent of the Radeon RX 7600, within 0.5 percent of the RTX 3050 OEM, and within 0.1 percent of both the GTX 580 and RTX 2060. In practical terms, the Radeon 680M delivers performance comparable to those discrete graphics cards from prior generations, which is notable for an integrated solution.

The Arc Pro B70 wins on raw specification dominance. Its 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs dwarf the Radeon 680M’s 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its FP32 throughput of 22.94 TFLOPS is roughly 6.8x higher than the Radeon 680M’s 3.379 TFLOPS. The 32 GB GDDR6 memory with 608.0 GB/s bandwidth stands in stark contrast to the Radeon 680M’s system shared memory. The Arc Pro B70’s 2800 MHz boost clock exceeds the Radeon 680M’s 2200 MHz boost clock by 600 MHz. These specification advantages suggest the Arc Pro B70 is designed for workloads that demand high throughput, large memory capacity, and sustained compute, such as professional rendering, AI inference, or high-resolution content creation.

For power efficiency, the Radeon 680M wins decisively on paper. Its 50 W TDP is a fraction of the Arc Pro B70’s 230 W TDP. The Radeon 680M requires no power connectors and fits as an IGP, meaning no additional card slot. The Arc Pro B70 requires a dual-slot footprint, one 8-pin connector, and a 550 W suggested power supply. For thin-and-light laptops or compact systems, the Radeon 680M is the only viable option of the two, given the Arc Pro B70’s physical dimensions of 267 mm length, 110 mm height, and 39 mm width.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a stark split between these two GPUs. The Radeon 680M is a measured, functional integrated graphics processor with concrete benchmark results. Its average score of 15270 places it alongside discrete cards like the GTX 580, RTX 2060, RTX 3050 OEM, and RX 7600, all within one percent of its score. Its 57th percentile standing among all GPUs confirms it delivers usable performance for an IGP, and its 50 W TDP makes it suitable for portable devices with no dedicated power connectors.

The Arc Pro B70, by contrast, has no benchmark measurements whatsoever. Its average score of zero means the database cannot substantiate any performance claim. What the specifications show is a high-end professional card: 4096 shading units, 32 GB GDDR6, 608.0 GB/s bandwidth, 22.94 TFLOPS FP32, and a 2800 MHz boost clock. These figures point to a card built for compute-heavy tasks, not for integration into low-power systems. The 230 W TDP, dual-slot design, and required 8-pin power connector confirm this classification.

For users selecting a GPU for a portable or ultra-low-power system, the Radeon 680M is the only option with measured performance data and an appropriate power envelope. For users needing maximum throughput, large memory capacity, and professional display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1a, 3x DisplayPort 2.1), the Arc Pro B70 offers specifications that the Radeon 680M cannot approach, but its lack of benchmark results means real-world verification remains pending in the database. The launch MSRP of the Arc Pro B70 is 949 USD. The Radeon 680M reports no launch MSRP.

The choice depends entirely on workload requirements. The Radeon 680M delivers verified performance in the mid-range discrete GPU tier while consuming only 50 W. The Arc Pro B70 offers a specification sheet that suggests far higher compute capability, but no measured scores exist to confirm it. The database records the Radeon 680M as active in production, while the Arc Pro B70’s production status is not listed. The Radeon 680M has a known predecessor and successor, indicating an established product lineage, while the Arc Pro B70 has neither. Without benchmark data for the Arc Pro B70, any performance comparison remains speculative, and the only definitive conclusion from the recorded facts is that the Radeon 680M has verifiable results and the Arc Pro B70 does not.
