AMD Radeon 740M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark scores for the AMD Radeon 740M, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark entries. Direct head-to-head comparison is therefore limited to the AMD part's measured performance and its position relative to other GPUs in the database.

The AMD Radeon 740M achieves an average benchmark score of 12,870. This places it at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs tracked in the database. Its individual test results show a Geekbench OpenCL score of 10,172 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 15,568. The Vulkan result is notably higher, indicating stronger performance in modern graphics API workloads compared to the OpenCL compute workload.

The AMD Radeon 740M's nearest rivals in the database, based on average score, are all within a narrow margin. The AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12,847, which is 0.2% behind the 740M. The AMD Radeon Pro 455 scores 12,831, 0.3% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 also scores 12,830, 0.3% behind. The AMD Radeon RX 580 scores 12,928, which is 0.4% ahead of the 740M. These deltas are minimal, placing the 740M in a tightly contested performance band where no single competitor holds a decisive edge.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark scores listed, no wins recorded, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, which reflects the absence of measured data rather than actual performance. Consequently, the head-to-head comparison between these two products cannot be quantified with recorded numbers. The 740M's data stands alone in this section, and the Arc Pro B60 Dual's performance characteristics remain unmeasured in the current database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different design philosophies and market positions. The AMD Radeon 740M is an integrated graphics processor based on the Phoenix2 chip, using the RDNA 3.0 architecture. It belongs to the Navi III IGP generation and is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip, based on the Xe2-HPG architecture, and belongs to the Battlemage Pro Series. Intel's part is fabricated on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.

Transistor counts are similar in magnitude but distributed very differently. The AMD chip contains 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 152.6 million per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a much larger 272 mm² die, resulting in a density of 72.1 million per mm². The AMD process node is more advanced in terms of density, while the Intel die is nearly twice the physical size.

Compute resources differ substantially. The AMD Radeon 740M has 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, 8 raster output units, and 4 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 raster output units, and 20 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has ten times the shading units, ten times the TMUs, and five times the ray tracing cores. These are discrete GPU-class resources compared to the integrated-class resources of the AMD part.

Clock speeds and throughput figures reflect the different implementations. The AMD part has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2,800 MHz, producing a pixel rate of 22.40 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 44.80 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute of 2.867 TFLOPS. FP16 performance matches FP32 at 2.867 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part has a base clock of 2,000 MHz and a boost clock of 2,400 MHz, producing a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute of 12.29 TFLOPS. FP16 performance doubles to 24.58 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The Intel part delivers 4.3 times the FP32 throughput and 8.6 times the texture rate.

Memory configurations are entirely different. The AMD Radeon 740M uses system shared memory, with size, type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is listed as 2,375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective data rate. The Intel part's dedicated memory with high bandwidth is a defining architectural advantage, while the AMD part relies on shared system memory with bandwidth that varies by platform.

Power and physical specifications diverge sharply. The AMD part has a TDP of 45 W, uses no power connectors, and is an IGP with motherboard-dependent display outputs. The Intel part has a TDP of 400 W, requires a 16-pin power connector, an 800 W suggested PSU, and is a dual-slot card measuring 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. It offers four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The bus interface also differs: AMD uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while Intel uses PCIe 5.0 x8.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate with feature level 12_2, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD Radeon 740M was released on 2024-01-30, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual was released on 2025-09-04. The AMD part lists its predecessor as Navi II IGP and successor as Navi III IGP. The Intel part lists no predecessor or successor in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 740M wins in the domain of integrated graphics. Its 45 W TDP, lack of power connectors, and IGP form factor make it suitable for compact systems where dedicated GPU installation is not possible. The 4 nm process node provides the transistor density advantage, with 152.6 million transistors per mm² compared to the Intel part's 72.1 million per mm². This density allows substantial compute capability within the integrated design. The 740M's measured benchmark results show it competes with established discrete GPUs from previous generations, as its average score of 12,870 sits within 0.4% of the Radeon RX 580 and ahead of the FirePro W5100, Radeon Pro 455, and GeForce GTX 590. Its Vulkan score of 15,568 indicates strong performance in Vulkan-based workloads.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in raw compute and dedicated memory resources. Its 2,560 shading units, 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth position it as a discrete workstation-class card. The FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS is 4.3 times the AMD part's 2.867 TFLOPS. The FP16 figure of 24.58 TFLOPS is 8.6 times higher, and the 2:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio indicates dedicated half-precision acceleration capability. The 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate are 8.6 times and 8.6 times higher respectively. The 20 ray tracing cores provide five times the ray tracing resources of the AMD part's 4 cores.

The Intel part also wins on memory bandwidth and capacity. Its 456.0 GB/s is fixed and dedicated, whereas the AMD part's bandwidth is system dependent and shared with the CPU. The Intel part's 24 GB capacity is a discrete memory pool that does not compete with system memory for bandwidth. The PCIe 5.0 x8 interface provides a newer bus standard compared to the AMD part's PCIe 4.0 x8.

The AMD part wins on platform flexibility and power efficiency. It requires no additional power connectors and fits into the IGP slot width, which means it can operate in systems without discrete GPU power delivery. The Intel part requires a 16-pin connector and an 800 W suggested PSU, constraining it to systems with substantial power delivery capabilities. The AMD part's release date of 2024-01-30 also precedes the Intel part's release date of 2025-09-04.

The benchmark data shows the AMD Radeon 740M as a measured entity with competitive results against older discrete GPUs. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark data, so its performance position in the database is unquantified. The 740M's 53rd percentile ranking places it slightly above the midpoint of all tracked GPUs, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual's 50th percentile is a default value given the absence of measured performance. The database records two wins for the AMD part and zero for the Intel part, though this reflects data availability rather than head-to-head testing results.
