AMD Radeon Instinct MI308X vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no benchmark scores for either the AMD Radeon Instinct MI308X or the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counts for both parts are zero. Consequently, a direct performance comparison based on measured application or game tests is not possible from the database. The analysis must instead rely on the architectural and specification data available for each product.

The AMD Radeon Instinct MI308X delivers 81.72 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, a substantial figure compared to the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual's 12.29 TFLOPS. This represents a 6.65x advantage in raw single-precision throughput for the AMD part. In FP16 workloads, the MI308X reaches 653.7 TFLOPS using an 8:1 ratio, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual achieves 24.58 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The AMD accelerator offers 26.6x the FP16 throughput, a massive difference that points toward its design for dense compute tasks.

Memory bandwidth similarly favors the AMD part overwhelmingly. The MI308X provides 10.3 TB/s of bandwidth across an 8192-bit HBM3 interface, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual offers 456.0 GB/s over a 192-bit GDDR6 bus. The AMD part delivers 22.6x the memory bandwidth, a critical factor for large-scale data movement and compute-heavy kernels. Texture rate also diverges sharply: the MI308X is rated at 2,553.6 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s for the Intel card, a 6.65x difference that mirrors the FP32 gap.

Pixel rate tells a different story. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual outputs 192.0 GPixel/s, while the MI308X is listed at 0 MPixel/s, essentially a non-functional figure for rasterization. This reflects the AMD part's lack of display outputs and its role as a compute accelerator rather than a graphics card. The Intel card, with 80 ROPs and 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, is a functional graphics solution for professional visualization.

The database shows no wins for either product in head-to-head tests. Without benchmark results, the only verdict available is the specification comparison, which overwhelmingly favors the AMD accelerator for compute throughput and memory capacity, while the Intel card holds the advantage in display capabilities and graphics-oriented features like ray tracing.

Architecture Differences

The two products share a 5 nm TSMC process node but diverge entirely in their underlying designs. The AMD Radeon Instinct MI308X uses the CDNA 3.0 architecture, built for data center acceleration. Its chip, codenamed Aqua Vanjaram, packs 153,000 million transistors on a 1017 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 150.4M per mm². The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the Xe2-HPG architecture from the Battlemage Pro Series, with a BMG-G21 chip containing 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, for a density of 72.1M per mm². The AMD chip is 3.7x larger in die area and holds 7.8x more transistors.

The MI308X is a compute-only accelerator. It has no display outputs, no ROPs (0), and no specified RT cores or tensor cores in the database. Its shading units number 19,456, with 1,216 TMUs. The Intel card is a full graphics processor: 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 RT cores. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the AMD part lists no API support in the database.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The MI308X uses 192 GB of HBM3 on an 8192-bit bus, delivering 10.3 TB/s. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 456.0 GB/s. The AMD accelerator carries 8x the memory capacity and 22.6x the bandwidth. Clock speeds are comparatively modest on the AMD side: a 1000 MHz base and 2100 MHz boost, versus the Intel card's 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The Intel part also runs its memory at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective), while the AMD part uses 2525 MHz (10.1 Gbps effective).

Power and physical design reflect their different purposes. The MI308X has a 750 W TDP, uses an OAM module form factor, and has no power connectors (it relies on the module socket). The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a 400 W TDP, is a dual-slot card, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and measures 300 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm. The AMD part suggests a 1150 W power supply, while the Intel card suggests 800 W. The AMD accelerator connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, and the Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x8.

Release timing also differs. The MI308X launched on 2023-12-05, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual launched on 2025-09-04. The AMD part's production status is not listed in the database, while the Intel card is marked as Active. The AMD part's predecessor is listed as FirePro Data Center, with no successor recorded. The Intel card has no predecessor or successor listed.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon Instinct MI308X wins decisively in compute-heavy workloads. Its FP32 throughput of 81.72 TFLOPS is 6.65x higher than the Intel card, and its FP16 output of 653.7 TFLOPS is 26.6x higher. Memory bandwidth of 10.3 TB/s is 22.6x greater, and capacity of 192 GB is 8x larger. These figures position the MI308X for data center acceleration, large-scale matrix operations, and workloads that demand massive data movement. Its 750 W TDP and OAM module form factor are typical for server installations where density and power are less constrained.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in graphics and display-oriented tasks. It has 80 ROPs and a 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, while the MI308X has zero ROPs and no pixel output. The Intel card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, full API support including DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, and 20 RT cores for ray-traced rendering. Its 24 GB GDDR6 memory, while far smaller than the AMD part, is still substantial for professional visualization. The 400 W TDP and dual-slot design make it adaptable to workstation environments, and the 1x 16-pin power connector simplifies installation compared to the OAM module.

The MI308X is the only choice for pure compute acceleration. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is the only choice for tasks that require displaying results or interacting with graphics APIs. Neither product overlaps meaningfully in the database's specification set, so the use-case split follows their architectural roles.

The Verdict

The database indicates that the AMD Radeon Instinct MI308X and Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual serve entirely different purposes. The MI308X is a data center compute accelerator with 81.72 TFLOPS FP32, 192 GB HBM3, and 10.3 TB/s bandwidth. Its 750 W TDP and OAM module form factor confirm a server-oriented design. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is a professional graphics card with 12.29 TFLOPS FP32, 24 GB GDDR6, 80 ROPs, 20 RT cores, and four display outputs, packaged in a dual-slot form factor with a 400 W TDP.

For anyone selecting a component for compute-heavy machine learning or scientific workloads, the MI308X delivers 6.65x the FP32 performance, 26.6x the FP16 performance, and 22.6x the memory bandwidth of the Intel card. Its 192 GB capacity dwarfs the 24 GB on the Arc Pro B60 Dual. The MI308X is the appropriate choice for these tasks.

For professional visualization, rendering, or any workload that requires a display output, the Arc Pro B60 Dual is the functional option. The MI308X has no outputs and zero pixel rate, making it unsuitable for graphics presentation. The Intel card's DirectX 12 Ultimate support, Vulkan 1.4, and RT cores provide a complete graphics feature set that the AMD part lacks entirely.

The verdict from the data is clear: the MI308X for compute acceleration, the Arc Pro B60 Dual for graphics and display. They are not competitors in the same market segment, and their specification sheets reflect divergent design goals. The MI308X's release in December 2023 and the Arc Pro B60 Dual's release in September 2025 further separate them in time and intended use.
