AMD Radeon RX 6450M vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Radeon RX 6450M and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. Neither GPU has an average benchmark score, and both sit at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database. This means direct performance comparisons must be derived from the specification differences and architectural data rather than from empirical test results.

The most striking performance gap appears in raw compute throughput. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is 3.25 times the 3.779 TFLOPS of the AMD Radeon RX 6450M. In FP16 workloads, the Intel card reaches 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) compared to the AMD part's 7.557 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), a 3.25x advantage as well.

Pixel throughput tells a similar story. The Arc Pro B60 Dual achieves 192.0 GPixel/s, while the RX 6450M manages 78.72 GPixel/s, meaning the Intel card fills the frame buffer at 2.44 times the rate. Texture rate is even more lopsided: 384.0 GTexel/s versus 118.1 GTexel/s, a 3.25x margin in favor of Intel.

Memory bandwidth heavily favors the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The card offers 456.0 GB/s across a 192-bit bus, while the RX 6450M is limited to 128.0 GB/s on a 64-bit bus. That is a 3.56x bandwidth advantage. The Intel GPU also carries 24 GB of GDDR6 memory versus 4 GB on the AMD part, a 6x capacity difference that becomes critical in large datasets and multi-application workflows.

Clock speeds are closer than the rest of the specifications. Both GPUs have a 2000 MHz base clock. The AMD part boosts to 2460 MHz, slightly ahead of the Intel card's 2400 MHz boost. The RX 6450M also lists a game clock of 2220 MHz, a metric the Arc Pro B60 Dual does not report. The AMD memory runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective, while the Intel memory runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 6450M uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture on the Navi 24 chip, belonging to the Navi Mobile (RX 6000M) generation. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the Xe2-HPG architecture on the BMG-G21 chip, belonging to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation.

Manufacturing processes differ. TSMC fabricates the Navi 24 at 6 nm, while the BMG-G21 is built at 5 nm, also by TSMC. The smaller node contributes to the Intel chip's higher transistor density. The AMD chip integrates 5,400 million transistors on a 107 mm² die, yielding a density of 50.5M transistors per mm². The Intel chip packs 19,600 million transistors onto a 272 mm² die, achieving 72.1M transistors per mm². That is a 3.63x transistor count advantage and a 2.54x die area advantage for Intel, with a 43% higher transistor density.

Compute unit configurations differ substantially. The RX 6450M has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 raster operation pipelines. It also includes 12 ray tracing cores. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with 20 ray tracing cores. The Intel GPU thus carries 3.33x the shading units, 3.33x the TMUs, 2.5x the ROPs, and 1.67x the ray tracing cores. Neither GPU lists tensor cores in the database.

Power and physical design separate these products into different classes. The RX 6450M consumes 50 W TDP and is an integrated graphics package (IGP) with no power connectors. The Arc Pro B60 Dual consumes 400 W TDP, uses a dual-slot cooler, and requires a single 16-pin power connector. The suggested PSU for the Intel card is 800 W. The AMD GPU's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, while the Intel card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The Intel card measures 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

Bus interfaces also diverge. The RX 6450M connects via PCIe 4.0 x4, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8. The newer, wider interface on the Intel card provides more headroom for data transfer between the GPU and the host system.

Both GPUs support identical API levels: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Production status for both is listed as Active.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 6450M wins in efficiency and compactness. Its 50 W TDP requires no external power connectors and fits as an integrated graphics package, making it suitable for portable devices where space and thermal headroom are constrained. The database lists its display outputs as portable device dependent, confirming its mobile-oriented design. The AMD part also holds a small clock advantage, with a 2460 MHz boost versus 2400 MHz on the Intel card, and a 2220 MHz game clock that the Intel GPU does not report. For workloads that scale with clock speed rather than raw compute width, the RX 6450M's higher boost could narrow the gap, though the underlying 3.25x compute deficit remains.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in every raw performance category recorded. It delivers 3.25x the FP32 and FP16 throughput, 2.44x the pixel rate, 3.25x the texture rate, and 3.56x the memory bandwidth. Its 24 GB memory capacity is six times that of the AMD part, which matters for large rendering scenes, machine learning inference batches, or multi-tasking across professional applications. The 192-bit bus and PCIe 5.0 x8 interface provide data paths that the RX 6450M cannot match. The Intel card also offers 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, enabling multi-monitor professional setups, whereas the AMD GPU's outputs depend on the host portable device.

The use cases split cleanly along these lines. For thin-and-light laptops or embedded systems where power draw must stay low and the GPU must fit within an integrated package, the RX 6450M is the only viable option in this comparison. For workstation-class tasks such as 3D rendering, video processing, or compute workloads that can use 24 GB of VRAM and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, the Arc Pro B60 Dual is the clear choice. The Intel card's 400 W TDP and 800 W suggested PSU require a desktop chassis with substantial power delivery, while the AMD card's 50 W TDP allows deployment in devices with minimal cooling.

The performance-class gap is substantial enough that the two GPUs should not be considered direct competitors. The RX 6450M occupies the low-power mobile segment, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual targets high-end professional desktop use. Benchmark data in the database shows no recorded head-to-head results, which is consistent with products aimed at different market tiers. The Intel card's dual-slot cooler, 300 mm length, and 16-pin power connector further confirm its desktop-only positioning. Neither GPU has a successor listed in the database, and both remain in active production.
