AMD Radeon Pro 460 vs Intel Arc B570 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a decisive overall victory for the Intel Arc B570, which wins both recorded head-to-head comparisons against the AMD Radeon Pro 460. In Geekbench OpenCL, the Intel Arc B570 scores 83,514 against the AMD Radeon Pro 460's 15,284, a delta of 446.4% in Intel's favor. That is not a marginal win; it is a generational gap expressed in raw compute throughput. The Vulkan result is even more lopsided: the Intel Arc B570 posts 96,844 compared to 16,816 for the AMD part, a delta of 475.9%. For any workload that scales across shading units or memory bandwidth, the Intel card simply leaves the AMD product in a different performance class.

Looking at the broader database averages, the Intel Arc B570 carries an average benchmark score of 20,556, while the AMD Radeon Pro 460 sits at 17,509. That places the Intel part in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, versus the 61st percentile for the AMD part. The nearest rivals for the Intel Arc B570, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20,534 and the Intel Arc A750 at 20,582, are within 0.1% of its average score, meaning the B570 trades blows with those parts rather than dominating them. The AMD Radeon Pro 460's nearest rivals tell a similar story: the AMD Radeon Pro 560 at 17,551 is only 0.2% behind, and the AMD Radeon 780M at 17,588 is 0.5% behind. So while the head-to-head numbers are stark, each card competes in its own weight class relative to the broader market.

The Intel Arc B570 also has a Passmark G3D score of 14,195, a Passmark GPU Compute score of 7,281, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 96,844, which align with its higher average. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 has no Passmark scores in the database, but its Geekbench Metal score of 20,426 suggests it is not without merit in Apple-centric environments. Still, on the two benchmarks where both cards were measured, the Intel Arc B570 wins both, and the delta percentages are so large that no reasonable interpretation of the data favors the AMD product.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B570 wins every benchmark in which both cards appear. In OpenCL, it delivers 446.4% higher performance, which indicates a massive advantage in compute tasks such as rendering, physics simulation, or any workload that leverages general-purpose GPU compute. In Vulkan, the 475.9% lead reinforces that the Intel card is substantially faster in modern graphics APIs, which are increasingly common in current games and professional visualization tools. The Intel Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus provides 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the AMD Radeon Pro 460 has 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus for 81.28 GB/s. That bandwidth gap alone explains much of the performance difference in texture-heavy and large-dataset scenarios.

The AMD Radeon Pro 460 does have a niche: its 35 W TDP and IGP slot width make it suitable for compact, low-power systems, particularly Apple Macs from the 400 Series generation. Its Geekbench Metal score of 20,426 is the only benchmark where it posts a competitive number, and Metal is a proprietary API used primarily on Apple platforms. For a user locked into that ecosystem with an older Mac, the Radeon Pro 460 may be the only option that fits. But for any task measured in the database, the Intel Arc B570 wins outright. There is no benchmark category, no workload split, and no use case in the recorded data where the AMD card takes a single victory.

For gaming and DirectX workloads, the Intel Arc B570 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the AMD Radeon Pro 460 supports only DirectX 12 (12_0). That means the Intel card has access to features like mesh shaders and other advanced pipeline stages, which the AMD part cannot accelerate. The Intel card also supports Vulkan 1.4 versus Vulkan 1.3 on the AMD part, a minor but real API version advantage. In practice, the benchmark deltas suggest that any modern game or compute application will run far better on the Intel Arc B570.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is enormous, reflecting nearly a decade of semiconductor progress. The Intel Arc B570 is built on TSMC's 5 nm process and uses the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage generation. It packs 19,600 million transistors into a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². The AMD Radeon Pro 460, by contrast, uses the GCN 4.0 architecture on GlobalFoundries' 14 nm process, with 3,000 million transistors on a 123 mm² die, for a density of 24.4M per mm². The Intel chip has more than six times the transistor count and nearly triple the die area.

Core counts follow the same pattern. The Intel Arc B570 has 2,304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, and 18 ray tracing cores. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores at all. The Intel card's pixel rate is 200.0 GPixel/s versus 14.51 GPixel/s for the AMD card, and its texture rate is 360.0 GTexel/s versus 58.05 GTexel/s. The FP32 compute rating tells the same story: 11.52 TFLOPS for Intel versus 1.858 TFLOPS for AMD. Even the FP16 rates differ in nature: the Intel card achieves 23.04 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the AMD card has a 1:1 ratio at 1.858 TFLOPS, meaning Intel offers a dedicated fast path for half-precision work.

Memory architecture is also completely different. The Intel Arc B570 uses 10 GB of GDDR6 with a 160-bit bus and 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 has 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, delivering only 81.28 GB/s. The clock speeds reflect their respective process nodes: the Intel card runs at a fixed 2500 MHz base and boost, with memory at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective), while the AMD card runs at 850 MHz base and 907 MHz boost, with memory at 1270 MHz (5.1 Gbps effective). The Intel card also supports PCIe 4.0 x8, while the AMD part is limited to PCIe 3.0 x8. Feature support diverges as well: the Intel card has DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6, while the AMD card has DirectX 12 (12_0), Vulkan 1.3, and OpenGL 4.6. The Intel part has 18 dedicated ray tracing cores; the AMD part has none.

The Verdict

The Intel Arc B570 is the clear choice for any user who needs raw performance. Its average benchmark score is 20,556, which is 17.4% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro 460's 17,509. In the head-to-head benchmarks, the Intel card wins by margins of 446.4% and 475.9%, which are not competitive gaps but rather categorical differences in capability. The Intel card has more memory, more bandwidth, more shading units, a faster process node, and support for ray tracing, all of which are absent or significantly reduced on the AMD part. The data shows no scenario where the AMD Radeon Pro 460 outperforms the Intel Arc B570 in any measured workload.

That said, the AMD Radeon Pro 460 has one undeniable advantage: power consumption. At 35 W TDP with an IGP slot width and no power connectors, it fits into systems where a dual-slot, 150 W card like the Intel Arc B570 cannot go. The AMD card's Geekbench Metal score of 20,426 also suggests it has some utility in Apple-specific environments, where Metal is the native API. But those are niche use cases tied to hardware compatibility, not performance. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 is also end-of-life, while the Intel Arc B570 is active in production with a launch MSRP of 219 USD.

For a builder selecting between these two specific parts, the verdict is straightforward: pick the Intel Arc B570 for any task where performance matters. Pick the AMD Radeon Pro 460 only if the system physically requires a 35 W IGP card with no external power, and even then, understand that the performance ceiling is dramatically lower. The benchmark data does not support any other conclusion.
