Analysis: AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual
The Verdict
The recorded data presents a clear split between these two professional graphics cards. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 sits in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 58,657. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, by contrast, holds only the 50th percentile and has no recorded benchmark scores, giving it an average of zero in the database. Benchmark results indicate the AMD card is the established performer, while the Intel card remains an unverified quantity.
The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the choice for any workload where compute performance has been measured. Its 88th percentile ranking places it well above the median, and its nearest rivals in the database, such as the NVIDIA P102-100 at a 0.2% delta and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at a 0.5% delta, confirm it sits in a competitive tier. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual cannot be positioned against these results because the database contains no scores for it.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual does have one distinct advantage in the specifications: it is the only card of the two with display outputs. The AMD card lists "No outputs" while the Intel card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1. Any deployment requiring direct display connectivity must use the Intel card. The AMD card, lacking outputs entirely, is strictly a compute-oriented accelerator.
The data also shows a significant difference in power requirements. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has a TDP of 400 W and suggests an 800 W power supply, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 has a TDP of 158 W and suggests a 450 W power supply. The AMD card is far lighter on system power demands, using a single 8-pin connector versus the Intel card's single 16-pin connector.
Architecture Differences
The two cards come from different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename "Wheat Nas" and belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation.
Both cards are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process node, but the transistor counts differ substantially. The AMD chip packs 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². The AMD die is larger and denser.
The compute resources diverge sharply. The AMD card has 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, and 54 ray tracing cores. The Intel card has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The AMD card leads in every unit count, with more than double the ray tracing cores.
Memory configurations also differ. The AMD card has 28 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 224-bit bus, producing 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel card has 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, producing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD card has both more memory and more bandwidth.
The floating-point capabilities show a notable architectural split. The AMD card delivers 27.65 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, a 1:1 ratio. The Intel card delivers 12.29 TFLOPS for FP32 but 24.58 TFLOPS for FP16, a 2:1 ratio. The AMD card is more than twice as fast in FP32, while the Intel card is closer in FP16 but still trails.
Clock speeds favor Intel on paper. The Intel card has a 2000 MHz base clock and 2400 MHz boost clock, versus the AMD card's 1900 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost. Memory clocks also favor Intel at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) versus AMD's 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The bus interface differs as well: the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16 while the Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x8.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two cards. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 has two recorded benchmark scores: 853 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and 116,460 in Geekbench OpenCL. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has zero recorded benchmark scores. This absence of recorded data for the Intel card is itself informative, as it means the database cannot confirm any performance claims for the Intel product.
The AMD card's average benchmark score of 58,657 places it near several known competitors. The nearest rival is the NVIDIA P102-100 with an average score of 58,528, a delta of 0.2%. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58,392, a 0.5% delta. The Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239, a 0.7% delta. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085, a 1% delta. These small deltas indicate the AMD card performs within 1% of this entire cluster of rivals.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual's percentile of 50 indicates it sits at the median of the database's GPU distribution, but without any benchmark scores, this percentile cannot be validated against measured performance. The AMD card's 88th percentile demonstrates its position well above the median, and the data supports that position with concrete scores.
The FP32 throughput gap is one of the largest measured differences. The AMD card's 27.65 TFLOPS is more than double the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. In FP16, the AMD card still leads at 27.65 TFLOPS versus 24.58 TFLOPS, though the margin narrows considerably due to the Intel card's 2:1 FP16 ratio.
Pixel rates are identical at 192.0 GPixel/s for both cards. Texture rates favor AMD at 432.0 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s for Intel. These equal pixel rates suggest similar rasterization output stages despite the differing architecture.

Where Each One Wins
The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in every measured performance category in the database. Its FP32 throughput of 27.65 TFLOPS more than doubles the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 27.65 TFLOPS exceeds the Intel card's 24.58 TFLOPS. Texture rate favors AMD at 432.0 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. Memory capacity favors AMD at 28 GB versus 24 GB, and bandwidth favors AMD at 504.0 GB/s versus 456.0 GB/s. The AMD card also has more shading units (3,456 versus 2,560), more TMUs (216 versus 160), more ROPs (96 versus 80), and more ray tracing cores (54 versus 20). The AMD card's 88th percentile ranking and recorded benchmark scores give it a verified performance profile.
The AMD card also wins on power efficiency. It achieves its higher performance with a 158 W TDP versus the Intel card's 400 W TDP. The suggested power supply of 450 W for the AMD card is substantially lower than the 800 W suggested for the Intel card. The AMD card occupies a single slot and uses a single 8-pin power connector, while the Intel card requires dual slots and a single 16-pin connector.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in areas that are not compute performance. It is the only card with display outputs, providing 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1. It has higher clock speeds, with a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost versus the AMD card's 1900 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost. Its memory clock of 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) exceeds the AMD card's 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The Intel card also uses the newer PCIe 5.0 x8 interface versus the AMD card's PCIe 4.0 x16. The Intel card has a production status of "Active" while the AMD card's production status is not recorded.
The Intel card's 2:1 FP16 ratio means it produces 24.58 TFLOPS from a 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 base, a more efficient conversion than the AMD card's 1:1 ratio. However, the AMD card's raw FP16 throughput still exceeds it. The Intel card's smaller die (272 mm² versus 346 mm²) and lower transistor count (19,600 million versus 28,100 million) indicate a more compact implementation, but the recorded data does not translate that into a performance advantage.
Specification Differences
