AMD Radeon 8060S vs Intel Arc Pro B65 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two GPUs into very different competitive categories. AMD Radeon 8060S has three benchmark entries in the database, while Intel Arc Pro B65 has no recorded benchmark scores at all, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rivals listed. That single fact determines the entire comparison structure.

The AMD Radeon 8060S delivers measurable results across three tests. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2162 points. Its Geekbench OpenCL result reaches 84626 points, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 80483 points. These three results produce an average benchmark score of 55757 points and place it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The Intel Arc Pro B65, by contrast, has an empty benchmark array. Its percentile against all GPUs sits at 50, which is the midpoint by definition, and its average score is zero. Without any recorded test results, the database shows no wins for either product in a head-to-head comparison, with winsA and winsB both at zero.

The use-case split is therefore stark. The Radeon 8060S wins wherever actual measured performance matters, because it is the only one of the two with measured performance. The Arc Pro B65 cannot claim any benchmark victory, as no benchmark data exists for it in the database. In compute workloads represented by OpenCL and Vulkan, the Radeon 8060S shows scores in the 80,000 range, indicating strong general-purpose throughput. In a DirectX 12 workload at the Steel Nomad preset, it delivers a four-digit score that places it near other established desktop GPUs.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different foundries and use different process nodes. AMD Radeon 8060S uses the Strix Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Intel Arc Pro B65 uses the BMG-G21 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, also fabricated at TSMC but on a 5 nm process. The Radeon belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, while the Arc Pro B65 belongs to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation.

Die size differs. The Radeon 8060S measures 308 mm², and the Arc Pro B65 measures 272 mm². The Intel part has a disclosed transistor count of 19,600 million and a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². The AMD part has no transistor count listed in the database, nor a density figure.

Shader resources are identical in count: both have 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units. Raster output units differ, with the Radeon 8060S at 64 ROPs and the Arc Pro B65 at 80 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: the Radeon 8060S has 40 ray tracing cores, while the Arc Pro B65 has 20. Neither product lists tensor cores in the database.

Clock behavior is very different. The Radeon 8060S runs a base clock of 1295 MHz and boosts to 2900 MHz. The Arc Pro B65 has a fixed clock of 2400 MHz for both base and boost. The Radeon's memory clock is listed as "System Shared" because it uses shared system memory, while the Arc Pro B65 runs its GDDR6 memory at 2375 MHz, which the database records as 19 Gbps effective.

Pixel and texture throughput show the tradeoffs. The Radeon 8060S reaches 185.6 GPixel/s and 464.0 GTexel/s. The Arc Pro B65 reaches 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. The Intel part has a higher pixel rate, the AMD part a higher texture rate. Floating point performance favors AMD in FP32 at 14.85 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS, while Intel takes FP16 at 24.58 TFLOPS against AMD's 14.85 TFLOPS, because the Intel architecture runs FP16 at a 2:1 ratio while AMD runs it at 1:1.

Power and physical configuration are radically different. The Radeon 8060S is an integrated graphics processor with a 55 W TDP, no power connectors, and an IGP slot width. The Arc Pro B65 is a dual-slot discrete card with a 200 W TDP, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested power supply of 550 W. Both use PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interfaces. Display outputs differ: the Radeon 8060S depends on the portable device it is built into, while the Arc Pro B65 provides four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature levels are equal.

The Verdict

The data supports only one verdict structure: the AMD Radeon 8060S is a measured, active GPU with competitive benchmark results, and the Intel Arc Pro B65 is an active product with zero recorded performance data.

The Radeon 8060S sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 55757 points. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698 points, which is 0.1% behind, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 at 56083 points, which is 0.6% ahead, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 points, which is 1.7% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 at 54247 points, which is 2.8% behind. This places the 8060S squarely in the middle of a group spanning a 5080 and a 4080, with a spread of only a few percent across all four comparisons.

For the Arc Pro B65, the database records a 50th percentile position and no average score. That percentile is a default placement, not a measured one. There are no nearest rivals and no head-to-head benchmark entries. The only useful conclusions available are architectural ones: it has 32 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 256 bit bus with 608.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a fixed 2400 MHz clock, a higher ROP count than the Radeon, and a higher FP16 rate. These are specifications, not performance results.

Who should pick which follows directly from the recorded data. A user requiring measured performance evidence should choose the AMD Radeon 8060S, as it is the only product in this comparison with benchmark scores in the database. A user constrained by power draw and physical integration should also prefer the Radeon 8060S, since its 55 W TDP and IGP form factor require no power connectors and no separate slot. A user needing 32 GB of dedicated memory with 608.0 GB/s bandwidth, or four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, would select the Intel Arc Pro B65, but must accept that no benchmark data is available to validate its performance.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon 8060S and the Intel Arc Pro B65. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. This means there is no direct test that pits one against the other in any workload.

However, the Radeon 8060S has standalone scores that can be interpreted. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 2162 points represents its DirectX 12 rasterization performance. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626 points and Vulkan score of 80483 points represent compute and graphics API throughput respectively. The OpenCL result is higher than the Vulkan result by 4143 points, indicating that the OpenCL driver path performs slightly better in that workload.

The Arc Pro B65 cannot be placed relative to these numbers. Its theoretical specifications suggest certain strengths. Its 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate exceeds the Radeon's 185.6 GPixel/s, which is a 3.4% advantage in raw pixel throughput. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 rate is 65.4% higher than the Radeon's 14.85 TFLOPS, which could benefit FP16-heavy compute workloads if the architecture scales accordingly. Its 608.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is far above the Radeon's system dependent shared memory bandwidth, which has no fixed figure in the database. These are all specification-level comparisons, not measured benchmark results.

The Radeon 8060S counters with architectural advantages of its own. Its 14.85 TFLOPS FP32 rate is 20.8% higher than the Arc Pro B65's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its 464.0 GTexel/s texture rate is 20.8% higher than the Arc's 384.0 GTexel/s. Its 40 ray tracing cores double the Arc's 20. Its boost clock of 2900 MHz exceeds the Arc's fixed 2400 MHz by 500 MHz. Its 55 W TDP is 72.5% lower than the Arc's 200 W TDP.

The absence of Arc Pro B65 benchmark data means the only head-to-head conclusions are negative ones: the Intel part does not appear in any measured comparison, so no win can be attributed to it, and the AMD part's wins are implicit through its presence in the benchmark database rather than through direct comparison.
