Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B60 wins outright in every recorded benchmark category. Its average benchmark score of 3182 places it at the 20th percentile among all GPUs, while the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 shows no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile.

The Intel card delivers 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 compute versus 7.885 TFLOPS for the AMD card, a 55.8% advantage in raw single-precision throughput. The gap widens in FP16: the Intel card produces 24.58 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while AMD delivers 7.885 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, meaning Intel has roughly three times the half-precision throughput.

For memory-intensive workloads, the Intel card's 456.0 GB/s bandwidth and 24 GB capacity dwarf the AMD card's 172.8 GB/s and 8 GB. Texture and pixel fill rates also favor Intel: 384.0 GTexel/s versus 123.2 GTexel/s, and 192.0 GPixel/s versus 70.40 GPixel/s.

The AMD card wins on efficiency and physical footprint. Its 55 W TDP requires no auxiliary power connectors, fits in a single slot, and needs only a 250 W suggested PSU. The Intel card demands 200 W, a dual-slot design, an 8-pin connector, and a 550 W PSU.

Architecture Differences

The two cards represent different generations and design philosophies. AMD's RDNA 3.0 architecture on the Navi 33 chip uses a 6 nm TSMC process with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². Intel's Xe2-HPG architecture on the BMG-G21 chip uses a 5 nm TSMC process with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, achieving 72.1M per mm² density.

The AMD card provides 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel card counters with 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. Intel has more of everything except ray tracing cores, where AMD holds a 28-to-20 advantage.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity exists. Display outputs differ: AMD offers 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while Intel offers 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1.

The AMD card's codename is Hotpink Bonefish from the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation, with a predecessor of Radeon Pro Vega. The Intel card belongs to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation with no predecessor listed.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data includes benchmark scores for the Intel Arc Pro B60 only. Its average benchmark score of 3182 places it at the 20th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 with an average score of 3163 (0.6% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 at 3210 (0.9% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce 920M at 3287 (3.2% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER at 3075 (3.5% lower).

The Intel card's Passmark G3D score of 14580 indicates strong general 3D rendering performance. Its Passmark GPU Compute score of 7029 shows compute throughput roughly half of its G3D result. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646 provides a modern DirectX 12 workload result.

The DirectX legacy scores tell a mixed story: DX9 delivers 179, DX11 delivers 122, DX12 delivers 76, and DX10 delivers 61. The 2D score of 763 reflects desktop and compositing workloads.

Since the AMD card has no recorded benchmarks, direct comparison relies on theoretical specifications. The Intel card's FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS exceeds the AMD card's 7.885 TFLOPS by 55.8%. In FP16, Intel's 24.58 TFLOPS at 2:1 ratio more than triples AMD's 7.885 TFLOPS at 1:1 ratio. Memory bandwidth favors Intel at 456.0 GB/s versus 172.8 GB/s, a 163.9% advantage.

The Intel card's pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is 172.7% higher than AMD's 70.40 GPixel/s. Texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s exceeds AMD's 123.2 GTexel/s by 211.7%.

The AMD card's 28 ray tracing cores outnumber Intel's 20, suggesting a possible advantage in ray-traced workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this. The AMD card also uses fewer transistors (13,300 million versus 19,600 million) and less die area (204 mm² versus 272 mm²), which correlates with its lower 55 W TDP.

The Verdict

The data supports choosing the Intel Arc Pro B60 for compute-heavy, memory-intensive, or high-resolution workloads. Its 24 GB memory capacity, 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, 12.29 TFLOPS FP32, and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 provide substantial headroom for large datasets and parallel workloads. The 200 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate a card designed for workstation systems with adequate power delivery. Its launch MSRP of 499 USD positions it in the mid-range professional segment.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 suits constrained environments. Its 55 W TDP requires no power connectors, fits in a single slot, and works with a 250 W suggested PSU. The 8 GB memory and 172.8 GB/s bandwidth limit large-scale workloads, but the 28 ray tracing cores offer potential advantages in ray-traced rendering. The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while older than Intel's PCIe 5.0 x8, remains compatible with most modern platforms.

The Intel card's nearest rival data shows it performs near the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (0.6% higher), within 1% of the GeForce GT 640, 3.2% below the GeForce 920M, and 3.5% above the RTX 5080 SUPER. These deltas indicate the Intel card sits in a specific performance band rather than dominating the field.

The AMD card's 50th percentile ranking versus Intel's 20th percentile suggests the AMD card may outperform the Intel card relative to the broader GPU population, but without recorded benchmark scores for the AMD card, this remains speculative.

For builders prioritizing raw throughput, memory capacity, and modern PCIe 5.0 connectivity, the Intel Arc Pro B60 is the data-backed choice. For compact, low-power workstations where single-slot installation and minimal power draw matter more than peak performance, the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 fits the requirement profile. The 5 nm Intel process delivers higher transistor density (72.1M per mm² versus 65.2M per mm²), indicating more efficient use of silicon area despite the larger absolute die size.
