AMD Radeon 840M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the AMD Radeon 840M and the Intel Arc Pro B60 is a study in contrast between an integrated graphics processor and a dedicated professional GPU. The Intel Arc Pro B60 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark scores in the database, holding an average benchmark score of 3182. This places it at the 20th percentile among all GPUs. The AMD Radeon 840M has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile, meaning its position is derived from its specifications rather than measured performance. The data indicates the Arc Pro B60 is designed for professional workloads with its 24 GB GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the 840M is an IGP with system-shared memory and system-dependent bandwidth. The Intel card carries a launch MSRP of 499 USD. Users needing a dedicated professional solution with substantial memory capacity should select the Arc Pro B60; those needing an integrated solution for a portable device should consider the 840M.

These deltas place the Arc Pro B60 in a narrow performance band around these rival cards despite the very different product tiers represented.

Since the 840M has no benchmark scores, no direct numerical comparison can be made from measured performance. The specification analysis is the only available basis for comparison.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Arc Pro B60 wins in every measurable performance category. It delivers 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 against 1,484.8 GFLOPS for the AMD 840M. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is over eight times higher than 23.20 GPixel/s. Texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s dwarfs 46.40 GTexel/s. The 24 GB GDDR6 memory with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth provides dedicated professional capacity, whereas the 840M relies on system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. The Intel card's PCIe 5.0 x8 interface doubles the bus generation of the AMD's PCIe 4.0 x8. Its 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs support multi-display professional setups, while the 840M's outputs depend on the portable device it is integrated into.

The AMD Radeon 840M wins in power efficiency. Its 15 W TDP is dramatically lower than the 200 W TDP of the Arc Pro B60, and it requires no power connectors or suggested PSU rating. Its 4 nm process node is smaller than the Intel's 5 nm node. The boost clock of 2900 MHz is higher than the Intel's 2400 MHz. The 840M also integrates directly into a portable device, needing no expansion slot beyond the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Its release date of 2025-02-28 precedes the Intel card's 2025-09-04 date.

The Arc Pro B60 carries a launch MSRP of 499 USD. The 840M has no launch MSRP recorded. The Intel card's average benchmark score of 3182 and its 20th percentile ranking are the only measured performance data available in this comparison. The 840M's 50th percentile ranking is not supported by any benchmark entries.

The data shows the Arc Pro B60 is the only one of the two with validated performance results, making it the choice for any workflow requiring measured GPU throughput, dedicated memory capacity, or professional display outputs. The 840M is the choice for power-constrained integrated scenarios where its 15 W TDP and system-shared memory model fit within a portable device's constraints.
