The AMD GPU operates with a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz, while the Intel GPU has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The Radeon 8050S uses system shared memory, making its bandwidth and capacity entirely dependent on the host platform. The Arc Pro B60 Dual includes 24 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus and 456.0 GB/s of dedicated bandwidth. The AMD GPU has no power connectors and a 55 W TDP, fitting as an IGP with a slot width of IGP. The Intel GPU requires a dual-slot cooler, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and has a 400 W TDP with a suggested PSU of 800 W. The Radeon uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs on the AMD part are portable device dependent, whereas the Intel card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon 8050S and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The AMD GPU has two recorded benchmark scores: 65,818 in Geekbench OpenCL and 58,398 in Geekbench Vulkan. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries listed.

The AMD Radeon 8050S achieves an average benchmark score of 62,108. The nearest rivals in the database for the AMD part are the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M with an average score of 61,896, which is 0.3% behind; the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63,693, which is 2.5% ahead; the AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63,775, which is 2.6% ahead; and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP at 63,830, which is 2.7% ahead. These close margins indicate the Radeon 8050S is tightly grouped with a cluster of mid-range discrete GPUs from its own manufacturer.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no average benchmark score and no nearest rivals listed in the database. This absence makes direct quantitative comparison impossible from the recorded data. The percentile ranking of 89 for the AMD GPU versus 50 for the Intel GPU provides the only relative positioning available.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two GPUs with fundamentally different design goals. The AMD Radeon 8050S is an integrated solution with a 55 W TDP, relying on shared system memory. It achieves an average benchmark score of 62,108 and sits at the 89th percentile. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is a discrete workstation card with 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, a 400 W TDP, and a dual-slot cooler.

For compute performance, the Intel card has the higher FP32 rating at 12.29 TFLOPS versus 11.47 TFLOPS for the AMD part. The Intel card also leads in pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s vs 179.2 GPixel/s) and texture rate (384.0 GTexel/s vs 358.4 GTexel/s). The AMD card has a significant advantage in ray tracing cores with 32 versus 20, and it carries a much higher percentile ranking at 89 versus 50.

The lack of benchmark scores for the Intel card means the database cannot confirm how its theoretical specifications translate into real-world performance. The AMD card has verified scores in Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, along with a list of closely matched rivals. Users seeking a verified, highly ranked integrated GPU with low power draw would select the AMD Radeon 8050S. Users requiring dedicated memory capacity, workstation display outputs, and higher raw throughput specifications would select the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual.

Where Each One Wins

AMD Radeon 8050S: The database records this GPU at the 89th percentile, far above the Intel card's 50th percentile. Its average benchmark score of 62,108 provides concrete evidence of performance, and its Geekbench OpenCL score of 65,818 is a strong result. The 55 W TDP and integrated form factor make it suitable for compact, power-constrained systems. The 32 ray tracing cores are the higher count of the two cards. The 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio indicates balanced compute throughput. The card's closest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 0.3% behind, show it competes with discrete mobile GPUs despite being an IGP. The 2800 MHz boost clock is the highest clock speed between the two parts.

Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual: This GPU offers 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, eliminating dependence on system memory. The 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs are all higher counts than the AMD card. Its FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS is 0.82 TFLOPS above the AMD part, and its FP16 performance of 24.58 TFLOPS is more than double. The 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate exceed the AMD card's respective figures. The 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs provide dedicated workstation connectivity, and the PCIe 5.0 x8 interface uses fewer lanes. The 2000 MHz base clock is 705 MHz higher than the AMD card's base clock, and the 400 W TDP indicates sustained operation at higher power envelopes. The dual-slot design with a 300 mm length provides a larger physical footprint for cooling.
