Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon 860M and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and both wins counters (winsA and winsB) are zero. Consequently, any comparative performance analysis must rely on the available metadata and the Radeon 860M's recorded benchmark scores.

The Radeon 860M's average benchmark score of 26,401 places it near a tight cluster of discrete GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, scores 26,421, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the Radeon trails by a negligible margin. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 scores 26,331, putting the Radeon 0.3% ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26,553, which is 0.6% above the 860M. The NVIDIA RTX A4000 leads the group at 26,683, a 1.1% advantage for that card. These deltas are all within roughly one percentage point, indicating that the Radeon 860M's integrated design performs on par with several discrete options in this score band.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries, so its performance cannot be positioned against the Radeon 860M or any other GPU in the database. The percentile field for the Intel card is 50, but with an average score of 0, this percentile carries no comparative weight. The Radeon 860M's 72nd percentile ranking, by contrast, is supported by actual measured scores.

The Radeon 860M's Vulkan score of 30,043 is notably higher than its OpenCL score of 22,759, a gap of roughly 7,284 points. This indicates stronger performance in Vulkan workloads relative to OpenCL. The Intel card's FP32 output of 12.29 TFLOPS versus the Radeon's 3.072 TFLOPS suggests a raw compute advantage for the B60 Dual, but without benchmark measurements, this cannot be translated into application-level performance.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The process node favors AMD at 4 nm versus Intel's 5 nm. Transistor data is unknown for the Radeon 860M, while the B60 Dual has 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. The Radeon's die size is also unknown.

Clock speeds show a large divergence. The Radeon 860M has a 600 MHz base and 3000 MHz boost, while the Intel card has a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. Memory is system-shared for the Radeon with system-dependent bandwidth, whereas the B60 Dual has 24 GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus delivering 456.0 GB/s.

Compute resources differ substantially. The Radeon has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, while the Intel card has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. Ray tracing cores are 8 on the Radeon versus 20 on the Intel. FP32 output is 3.072 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS. FP16 output is 3.072 TFLOPS (1:1) on the Radeon versus 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1) on the Intel.

Power requirements are starkly different: 15 W TDP with no power connectors for the Radeon, versus 400 W TDP with one 16-pin connector and an 800 W suggested PSU for the Intel card. The Radeon is an IGP with no slot width, while the B60 Dual is a dual-slot card measuring 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x8 versus PCIe 4.0 x8 on the Radeon. Display outputs are portable-device dependent for the Radeon, whereas the Intel card has 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1.

Release dates differ: the Radeon 860M launched on 2025-02-28, and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual on 2025-09-04. The Radeon's predecessor is listed as Navi II IGP, while the Intel card has no predecessor. The Intel card has a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD; the Radeon has no launch MSRP listed.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 860M wins in integrated efficiency. Its 15 W TDP, lack of external power connectors, and system-shared memory make it suitable for portable devices where space and power are constrained. Its 4 nm process node and 3000 MHz boost clock indicate a design focused on maximizing performance within a tight power envelope. Benchmark data confirms the Radeon 860M competes with discrete GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 and RTX 5060, with deltas of -0.1% and +0.3% respectively, all while consuming a fraction of the power.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in raw compute and memory capacity. Its 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 output is approximately four times the Radeon's 3.072 TFLOPS. The 24 GB GDDR6 memory with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth provides dedicated high-speed storage, versus the Radeon's system-shared memory. The Intel card's 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs dwarf the Radeon's 512, 32, and 16 respectively. Its 20 ray tracing cores more than double the Radeon's 8. The B60 Dual also supports PCIe 5.0 x8, doubling the bandwidth of the Radeon's PCIe 4.0 x8 interface.

The Intel card's 400 W TDP and 800 W suggested PSU indicate a workstation-class component designed for sustained heavy workloads, not portable use. Its dual-slot form factor and 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs point toward multi-display professional setups. The Radeon 860M's display outputs being portable-device dependent confirms its mobile orientation.

The Radeon 860M's Vulkan score of 30,043 against its OpenCL score of 22,759 shows a pronounced strength in Vulkan-based applications. This is a meaningful data point for any software stack that leverages Vulkan. The Intel card has no comparable benchmark data to assess its API-specific performance.

The Verdict

The data presents two GPUs with almost no overlap in intended use cases. The AMD Radeon 860M is a 15 W integrated processor from the Krackan Point chip, built on RDNA 3.5 and targeting Strix Point Mobile platforms. Its benchmark scores of 22,759 in OpenCL and 30,043 in Vulkan, with an average of 26,401, place it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. It trades nearly evenly with the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (0.1% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (0.3% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (0.6% behind), and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 (1.1% behind). For an integrated solution, this is a competitive position against discrete cards.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is a 400 W discrete workstation card with 24 GB GDDR6, 2,560 shading units, and 12.29 TFLOPS FP32. It has no benchmark entries in the database, so its real-world performance cannot be verified. Its 50th percentile ranking is based on no measured scores and therefore provides no meaningful comparison. The card's specifications suggest high compute throughput, but the absence of benchmark data means any performance claims remain unsubstantiated.

The choice between these two depends entirely on the platform and workload. For portable devices requiring minimal power draw, the Radeon 860M is the only viable option, as it is an IGP with no external power requirement. Its measured performance, especially in Vulkan, makes it a capable integrated solution. For a professional workstation requiring high memory capacity, large compute throughput, and multi-display output, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual offers the specifications, but its lack of benchmark scores in the database leaves its actual performance unverified. The Radeon 860M has verified performance data and a clear competitive position; the Intel card has specifications only. The verdict from the recorded data is that the Radeon 860M is a proven performer in its class, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual remains an unmeasured quantity that cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark evidence.
