AMD Radeon 8060S vs Intel Arc B370 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data separates these two integrated GPUs into entirely different performance strata. The AMD Radeon 8060S holds a clear advantage across the only shared test metric, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark. In that test, the 8060S scores 2162 points against 1184 for the Intel Arc B370, an 82.6% lead. The database records one benchmark win for the AMD part and zero for the Intel part.

The AMD Radeon 8060S also appears in two additional benchmark categories that the Intel Arc B370 does not participate in: Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan. The 8060S records 84626 in OpenCL and 80483 in Vulkan. These results place the AMD part in the 87th percentile of all GPUs tracked by the database, while the Intel Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile. The average benchmark score for the 8060S is 55757, compared to 1184 for the Arc B370.

The Intel Arc B370 does not win any recorded benchmark comparison. Its closest rivals in the database are older discrete parts such as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186 with a delta of -0.2% relative to the Arc B370, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 with a -0.5% delta. These comparisons indicate that the Arc B370's performance level aligns with legacy discrete graphics from over a decade ago, not with modern mid-range or high-end parts.

The AMD part's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698 with a 0.1% delta, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 at 56083 with a -0.6% delta, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 with a 1.7% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 at 54247 with a 2.8% delta. These deltas show the 8060S sitting within a tight band around several high-end discrete GPUs, with the largest gap being 2.8% behind the RTX 4080 and 1.7% ahead of the Radeon Pro W5700X.

Architecture Differences

The two integrated GPUs come from different architectural generations and manufacturing processes. The AMD Radeon 8060S uses the Strix Halo chip built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 308 mm². The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip built on the Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel with the die size listed as unknown.

The AMD part belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, while the Intel part belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. Both are classified as integrated graphics processors with an IGP slot width and no power connectors, but the underlying designs differ substantially.

Shader resources diverge sharply. The 8060S carries 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. Ray tracing cores also differ: the 8060S has 40 RT cores, while the Arc B370 has 10. Neither part lists tensor cores in the database.

Clock behavior reflects different design philosophies. The AMD part runs at a 1295 MHz base clock with a 2900 MHz boost clock. The Intel part has a much lower 300 MHz base clock and a 2400 MHz boost clock. The higher base clock on the AMD part suggests it maintains higher sustained performance under load, while the Intel part's low base clock indicates a power-conscious design.

The memory subsystems are both listed as system shared with system dependent bandwidth, meaning neither GPU has dedicated local memory. The database does not record a memory type, bus width, or bandwidth figure for either part beyond the shared designation.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interfaces differ, with the 8060S using PCIe 5.0 x16 and the Arc B370 listed simply as IGP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single shared benchmark in the database is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 2162, and the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184. The delta works out to 82.6% in favor of the AMD part. This is not a marginal edge; it is a near-doubling of the Intel part's score.

To put that in perspective, the Arc B370's score of 1184 places it among legacy parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc B370. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. The Arc B370 is therefore bracketed by these older parts, with the closest competitor being the HD 7650M at just 0.7% ahead.

The 8060S, by contrast, sits in a different league. Its closest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698, just 0.1% below the 8060S's average of 55757. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 scores 56083, 0.6% above the 8060S. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 1.7% below. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 scores 54247, 2.8% below. These deltas indicate that the 8060S delivers performance comparable to high-end discrete GPUs, despite being an integrated part.

The 82.6% delta between the two integrated GPUs is larger than any delta between the 8060S and its nearest rivals. The gap between the 8060S and the Arc B370 is therefore more significant than the gap between the 8060S and much larger discrete parts like the RTX 4080 or RTX 5080.

Specification Differences

Several specification fields separate the two GPUs. The manufacturing process differs: the 8060S uses 4 nm TSMC, while the Arc B370 uses 3 nm Intel. Die size is recorded only for the AMD part at 308 mm²; the Intel part's die size is unknown.

Shading unit count favors the AMD part by a 2:1 margin: 2560 versus 1280. TMU count shows a 4:1 difference: 160 versus 40. ROP count shows a 3.2:1 difference: 64 versus 20. RT core count shows a 4:1 difference: 40 versus 10.

Clock speeds differ in both base and boost. The 8060S base clock is 1295 MHz versus 300 MHz for the Arc B370. The 8060S boost clock is 2900 MHz versus 2400 MHz for the Arc B370.

Theoretical throughput numbers reflect the resource disparity. The 8060S achieves a pixel rate of 185.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 464.0 GTexel/s. The Arc B370 achieves 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 14.85 TFLOPS for the 8060S versus 6.144 TFLOPS for the Arc B370. FP16 performance differs in ratio: the 8060S delivers 14.85 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the Arc B370 delivers 12.29 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

Thermal design power differs by 30 W: the 8060S is rated at 55 W, and the Arc B370 at 25 W. Both are integrated parts with no power connectors and portable device dependent display outputs.

The bus interface differs, with the 8060S using PCIe 5.0 x16 and the Arc B370 listed as IGP. Release dates also differ: the 8060S was released on January 5, 2025, while the Arc B370 was released on January 26, 2026. The 8060S has a recorded predecessor, Polaris Mobile, while the Arc B370 has no predecessor listed. Production status is active for both.
