AMD Radeon 890M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Radeon 890M has a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This means the head-to-head comparison cannot rely on direct performance measurements, because none exist for the Intel part in the database.

The AMD Radeon 890M delivers an average benchmark score of 9210 across ten tests. Its percentile ranking places it above 45% of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals show how tightly grouped this performance tier is. The AMD Radeon Vega 8 scores 9221, which is 0.1% above the 890M. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 scores 9273, 0.7% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 scores 9294, 0.9% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M scores 9302, 1% higher. These deltas show the 890M sitting within a narrow band of comparable GPUs, all within one point of each other in relative terms.

The individual benchmark results for the 890M reveal its character. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it records 590 points. Geekbench OpenCL shows 37254, while Geekbench Vulkan reaches 40808. Passmark results are mixed: DirectX 10 scores 33, DirectX 11 scores 73, DirectX 12 scores 37, and DirectX 9 scores 97. The G2D score of 979 and G3D score of 8076 indicate stronger performance in 3D workloads than 2D. GPU compute via Passmark records 4157.

Because the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has zero benchmarks and an average score of 0 in the database, no direct wins can be assigned to either side. The wins counter shows 0 for both products. The database cannot confirm any performance advantage for the Intel part, nor can it verify whether the Intel part would outperform or underperform the AMD part in any specific test.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, different architectures, and different process nodes. The AMD Radeon 890M uses the Strix Point chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, belonging to the Navi III IGP generation for Strix Point Mobile. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage Pro Series. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.

Transistor counts differ substantially. The AMD chip contains 34,000 million transistors on a 233 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 145.9 million per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, giving a density of 72.1 million per mm². The AMD design packs more transistors into a smaller area, while the Intel design spreads fewer transistors across a larger die.

The core configurations diverge sharply. The AMD Radeon 890M has 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 2.5 times the shading units, 2.5 times the TMUs, 2.5 times the ROPs, and 1.25 times the ray tracing cores.

Clock behavior differs by design philosophy. The AMD part has a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz, a wide range that suggests aggressive boosting behavior under load. The Intel part has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, a narrower range with a higher floor. Memory clocks show the AMD part using system shared memory, while the Intel part runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed.

The memory subsystems could not be more different. The AMD Radeon 890M uses system shared memory with no dedicated VRAM, no dedicated bus width, and bandwidth that depends on the host system. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192 bit bus with 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a discrete card with its own memory pool versus an integrated GPU borrowing from system RAM.

Rates and compute throughput follow the core counts. The AMD part achieves 92.80 GPixel/s pixel rate and 185.6 GTexel/s texture rate, with 5.939 TFLOPS FP32 and 5.939 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part achieves 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate, with 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The Intel part doubles pixel and texture throughput, doubles FP32, and quadruples FP16 throughput.

Power and physical characteristics separate the two entirely. The AMD part has a TDP of 15 W, is an IGP with no slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The Intel part has a TDP of 400 W, occupies a dual-slot form factor, requires one 16-pin power connector, and needs an 800 W suggested PSU. The Intel card measures 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

The Verdict

The data cannot produce a performance verdict because the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark scores in the database. The AMD Radeon 890M has ten recorded results and an average score of 9210, placing it at the 45th percentile. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile in the database listing, but with an average score of 0, this percentile appears to reflect its database entry status rather than measured performance.

What the data does show is a fundamental product classification difference. The AMD Radeon 890M is an integrated GPU with 15 W TDP, system shared memory, and no power connectors. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is a discrete dual-slot card with 400 W TDP, 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, and a 16-pin power connector. These are different classes of hardware serving different deployment scenarios.

The Intel part offers more raw compute resources on paper: more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more ray tracing cores, higher pixel rate, higher texture rate, and higher FP32 and FP16 throughput. The AMD part offers extreme energy efficiency with its 15 W TDP and integrated form factor. The database records no measurements that would confirm whether the Intel part's theoretical advantages translate into actual benchmark wins.

The release dates show the AMD part launching on July 14, 2024, and the Intel part on September 4, 2025. The AMD part has a predecessor listed as Navi II IGP. The Intel part has no predecessor listed.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 890M wins in energy efficiency by a wide margin. Its 15 W TDP contrasts with the Intel part's 400 W TDP. It requires no power connectors, no suggested PSU, and occupies no slot width because it is an IGP. For systems where power draw and physical footprint matter, the AMD part has clear advantages based on the recorded specifications.

The AMD part also wins on transistor density. Its 145.9M transistors per mm² exceeds the Intel part's 72.1M per mm². The AMD chip packs 34,000 million transistors into a 233 mm² die, while the Intel chip uses 19,600 million transistors across a larger 272 mm² die.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins on raw compute resources. It has more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, and more ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s doubles the AMD part's 92.80 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s doubles the AMD part's 185.6 GTexel/s. Its FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS more than doubles the AMD part's 5.939 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS quadruples the AMD part's 5.939 TFLOPS.

The Intel part wins on memory capacity and bandwidth. It provides 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory versus system shared memory. Its 456.0 GB/s bandwidth is a fixed figure, whereas the AMD part's bandwidth is system dependent. The Intel part also has a wider 192 bit bus compared to the AMD part's system shared bus.

The Intel part wins on connectivity. It offers 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the AMD part's display outputs are portable device dependent. The Intel part uses PCIe 5.0 x8, while the AMD part uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

The benchmark data can only confirm wins for the AMD part, since it has measured scores and the Intel part has none. The AMD Radeon 890M's 9210 average score places it at the 45th percentile, within 1% of its nearest rivals. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual's database entry shows the 50th percentile, but with no measured scores, the database cannot verify any performance win for the Intel part in actual tests.
