AMD Radeon 860M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Comparison

The AMD Radeon 860M and Intel Arc Pro B60 occupy opposite ends of the graphics hardware spectrum. The Radeon 860M is an integrated graphics processor built into AMD’s Krackan Point chip, designed for portable devices with a 15 W power envelope. The Arc Pro B60 is a dual-slot discrete workstation card from Intel’s Battlemage Pro Series, drawing 200 W and featuring 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory. Database measurements place the Radeon 860M at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, while the Arc Pro B60 sits at the 20th percentile. The average benchmark score for the Radeon 860M is 26,401, compared to 3,182 for the Arc Pro B60. These figures indicate a substantial performance gap, but the Arc Pro B60’s dedicated memory, larger compute resources, and professional feature set define a different role.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes the positioning clear. The AMD Radeon 860M delivers an average benchmark score of 26,401, which places it 72.0 percent above all other GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (average score 26,421, a delta of -0.1 percent), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (26,331, delta +0.3 percent), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (26,553, delta -0.6 percent). This means the Radeon 860M performs in the same range as these discrete desktop and mobile cards, an impressive result for an integrated solution. The Intel Arc Pro B60, by contrast, shows an average benchmark score of 3,182, ranking it close to the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (3,163, delta +0.6 percent) and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (3,210, delta -0.9 percent). The Arc Pro B60 sits at the 20th percentile, indicating that it trails most of the database entries.

For general graphics workloads, synthetic compute tests, and gaming-oriented tasks, the Radeon 860M is the clear choice based on the data. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 22,759 and Vulkan score of 30,043 demonstrate far higher raw compute output than the Arc Pro B60’s Passmark results. The Arc Pro B60’s Passmark G3D score of 14,580 and GPU compute score of 7,029 are substantial in their own right, but they do not approach the Radeon 860M’s aggregate performance. The Arc Pro B60 is better suited for tasks that require large amounts of dedicated memory, such as rendering large scenes, AI inference with substantial model sizes, or multi-display professional setups. Its 24 GB GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth is a resource the Radeon 860M cannot match, since the latter relies on system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

The launch MSRP for the Arc Pro B60 is 499 USD. The Radeon 860M has no launch MSRP recorded, reflecting its integrated nature. Users with a portable device that includes the Radeon 860M receive a high-performing IGP with no additional power connectors and a 15 W TDP. The Arc Pro B60 requires a dual-slot chassis, a 1x 8-pin power connector, and a suggested 550 W power supply. The data indicates that the Radeon 860M is the better general performer, while the Arc Pro B60 offers dedicated memory capacity and professional connectivity options.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon 860M and the Intel Arc Pro B60. The wins tally is zero for both GPUs. However, the individual benchmark suites recorded for each card allow for a comparison of their respective performance profiles.

The Radeon 860M has two recorded benchmarks. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 22,759, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 30,043. These are the only two tests recorded for this GPU. The Arc Pro B60 has eight recorded benchmarks in the Passmark suite. Its highest Passmark score is the G3D result of 14,580, followed by the GPU compute score of 7,029. The Passmark DirectX 9 score is 179, DirectX 10 is 61, DirectX 11 is 122, and DirectX 12 is 76. The Passmark G2D score is 763.

The Radeon 860M’s Vulkan score of 30,043 is more than double the Arc Pro B60’s highest Passmark result of 14,580. Even the Radeon 860M’s OpenCL score of 22,759 exceeds the Arc Pro B60’s G3D result by a wide margin. The Arc Pro B60’s average benchmark score of 3,182 is heavily influenced by its lower Passmark scores, particularly the DirectX 10 result of 61, DirectX 12 result of 76, and DirectX 11 result of 122. These low scores drag the average down despite the comparatively strong G3D and GPU compute results.

The Radeon 860M’s percentile rank of 72 versus the Arc Pro B60’s rank of 20 summarizes the overall standing. The Radeon 860M’s nearest rivals, the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, both have average scores near 26,400, confirming that the Radeon 860M competes with dedicated mobile and desktop graphics cards from a recent generation. The Arc Pro B60’s nearest rivals, the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, are older or lower-tier products, which positions the Arc Pro B60 in a much lower performance bracket.

The Radeon 860M’s FP32 throughput of 3.072 TFLOPS is modest compared to the Arc Pro B60’s 12.29 TFLOPS, and the Arc Pro B60’s FP16 rate of 24.58 TFLOPS is eight times the Radeon 860M’s FP16 rate of 3.072 TFLOPS. This suggests the Arc Pro B60 has a theoretical compute advantage in workloads that use FP16 or FP32 math efficiently. The recorded benchmark scores, however, do not reflect this advantage. The Radeon 860M’s higher average score and percentile rank indicate that its real-world performance in the recorded tests is stronger.

The memory bandwidth difference is large. The Arc Pro B60’s 456.0 GB/s bandwidth is a major asset for memory-intensive workloads, while the Radeon 860M’s bandwidth is system dependent and cannot be quantified from the database. The Arc Pro B60’s 24 GB capacity is far beyond the shared memory available to the Radeon 860M, which depends entirely on the host system’s RAM.

The Radeon 860M achieves its results within a 15 W TDP, while the Arc Pro B60 requires 200 W. The performance per watt is not directly recorded, but the data shows the Radeon 860M delivers a higher average benchmark score at a fraction of the power draw. The Arc Pro B60’s dual-slot design, 8-pin power connector, and 550 W suggested power supply indicate a desktop-oriented discrete card with different thermal and power requirements.

The Arc Pro B60’s Passmark G3D score of 14,580 is its strongest recorded result, yet it remains below the Radeon 860M’s Geekbench OpenCL score of 22,759. The Arc Pro B60’s GPU compute score of 7,029 is less than a third of the Radeon 860M’s OpenCL result. The Passmark DirectX 9 score of 179 and DirectX 11 score of 122 are the highest in the DirectX family for the Arc Pro B60, but they are far below the Radeon 860M’s recorded scores.

The data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The Radeon 860M ranks at the 72nd percentile with an average score of 26,401, placing it in the upper quarter of all GPUs. The Arc Pro B60 ranks at the 20th percentile with an average score of 3,182, placing it in the lower fifth. The Radeon 860M’s nearest rivals all have average scores within 1.1 percent of its own, indicating tight competition at that level. The Arc Pro B60’s nearest rivals are similarly close, with deltas ranging from 3.5 percent to -3.2 percent.

Neither GPU has a recorded direct head-to-head benchmark result. The available data consists of separate test suites: Geekbench for the Radeon 860M and Passmark for the Arc Pro B60. Different test methodologies make a direct comparison imperfect, but the aggregate metrics from the database provide a consistent picture. The Radeon 860M is the higher-performing GPU in the recorded tests, while the Arc Pro B60 offers dedicated memory, higher theoretical compute rates, and professional display outputs.
