Analysis: AMD Radeon 820M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon 820M and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. Both products show an average benchmark score of 0 in the current dataset, and their percentile rankings against all GPUs are identical at 50. This means that no measured performance comparison exists in the database for these two parts, so any evaluation must be derived from their architectural specifications and the performance indicators published in their respective entries.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers a peak FP32 compute throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS, while the AMD Radeon 820M reaches 716.8 GFLOPS. The Intel part therefore presents roughly 17 times the raw single-precision compute capability on paper. Pixel throughput differs significantly as well: the Arc Pro B60 Dual achieves 192.0 GPixel/s, compared to 11.20 GPixel/s for the Radeon 820M. Texture fill rates show a similar gap, with the Intel card producing 384.0 GTexel/s versus 22.40 GTexel/s on the AMD IGP.
Memory bandwidth is another area of clear separation. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 820M relies on system shared memory with no dedicated VRAM, and its bandwidth is listed as system dependent. The Intel card's memory clock runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective transfer rate, while the AMD part's memory speed is not independently specified because it shares system memory.
Architecture Differences
The two products come from different architectural families and manufacturing processes. The AMD Radeon 820M is built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, uses a chip designated Krackan Point 2, and belongs to the Navi III IGP generation for Strix Point Mobile systems. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses Xe2-HPG architecture, based on the BMG-G21 chip, and is part of the Battlemage Pro Series. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.
Transistor counts differ enormously. The Intel part contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 72.1 million transistors per square millimeter. The AMD Radeon 820M lists its transistor count and die size as unknown in the database, so no direct comparison of those metrics is possible.
Execution resource counts are also far apart. The Radeon 820M has 128 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, 4 ROPs, and 2 ray tracing cores. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. Clock behavior differs as well: the AMD IGP has a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz, while the Intel card runs at a 2000 MHz base and a 2400 MHz boost. The AMD part operates at a lower base frequency but reaches a higher boost frequency than the Intel card.
Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The Radeon 820M is an integrated graphics processor with system shared memory, no dedicated bus width, and no independent memory type. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is a discrete dual-slot card with 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit interface. Power requirements reflect this difference: the AMD IGP is rated at 15 W TDP with no power connectors, while the Intel card draws 400 W TDP and requires a single 16-pin power connector. The Intel product also lists a suggested power supply of 800 W.
Interface and display output specifications differ. The Radeon 820M uses PCIe 4.0 x8 and its display outputs are portable device dependent. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8 and provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Physical dimensions are only recorded for the Intel card: 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width, with a dual-slot form factor.
Both products support the same API feature set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. FP16 throughput differs in ratio: the Radeon 820M delivers 716.8 GFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual reaches 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The AMD part is an integrated solution with no expansion slot width, whereas the Intel part occupies two slots.
Where Each One Wins
The AMD Radeon 820M wins on power efficiency and system integration. Its 15 W TDP allows it to operate without any external power connectors, making it suitable for portable devices where dedicated graphics cards cannot be installed. Its 4 nm process node is smaller than the Intel part's 5 nm node, and its base clock of 400 MHz with a boost of 2800 MHz indicates a design that scales up under load while idling at very low frequencies. As an IGP with system shared memory, it has no dedicated VRAM cost and no physical installation requirements beyond the host processor.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins decisively on raw performance metrics. Its FP32 output of 12.29 TFLOPS is substantially higher, its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is more than 17 times the AMD part's 11.20 GPixel/s, and its texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s is similarly dominant. The 24 GB GDDR6 memory pool with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth provides dedicated high-speed storage for workloads, whereas the Radeon 820M depends entirely on system memory performance. The Intel card's 20 ray tracing cores versus 2 on the AMD part suggest stronger ray-traced workload capability, though no benchmark scores in the database confirm this directly.
The Intel card also carries a much larger execution resource pool: 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs versus 128, 8, and 4 respectively. Its PCIe 5.0 x8 interface doubles the generation of the AMD part's PCIe 4.0 x8 connection, which matters for data transfer in compute-heavy environments. The four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs on the Intel card give it a fixed multi-display configuration, while the AMD IGP's outputs depend on the portable device design.

The Verdict
The data in the database supports a clear split based on usage context. The AMD Radeon 820M is an integrated processor with a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and system shared memory. Its release date is recorded as February 28, 2025, and it belongs to the Navi III IGP generation for Strix Point Mobile. This part is designed for portable devices where discrete graphics cannot be physically or thermally accommodated, and its 4 nm process node and 400 MHz base clock reflect a power-conscious design.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, released September 4, 2025, is a discrete dual-slot card with a 400 W TDP, 24 GB GDDR6, PCIe 5.0 x8, and four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Its launch MSRP is 1,199 USD. It uses the BMG-G21 chip with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, and its 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 output, 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth position it for demanding graphics and compute workloads that require dedicated memory and substantial power delivery.
Neither product can be said to win overall because they occupy entirely different market segments. The Radeon 820M is an integrated solution with no expansion slot, no dedicated memory, and minimal power draw. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is a high-power discrete accelerator with a 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width, requiring an 800 W suggested power supply. A user selecting between them would be choosing between a zero-footprint IGP for a portable device and a full-size dual-slot card for a desktop workstation. The benchmark database contains no direct performance scores for either product, so the specification sheet, not measured results, is the only basis for selection. The Intel card's specifications dominate in every performance-related metric, while the AMD part's specifications dominate in power efficiency, integration simplicity, and physical footprint.
