AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents two very different graphics cards with distinct intended roles. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is positioned as a mainstream gaming solution, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual targets professional workloads. The AMD card has an average benchmark score of 42,723 and sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Intel card, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking.

For gamers, the RX 7650 GRE is the only card with measurable performance data. It delivers 22.08 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, a figure that places it within 1.3% of the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 and 1.2% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER in average score. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no comparable gaming benchmarks, so any gaming performance claims would be unsupported by the database.

For professionals working with large datasets or memory-intensive applications, the Intel card offers 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, three times the capacity of the AMD card's 8 GB. The Intel card also supports PCIe 5.0 x8, while the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8. These specifications suggest the Intel card is built for workloads that demand large memory footprints and high-bandwidth data transfer, though its 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 rate is considerably lower than the AMD card's 22.08 TFLOPS.

The launch MSRP for the AMD card is 279 USD. The Intel card carries a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between these two cards is fundamental. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip based on Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation.

Manufacturing processes differ by one node step. The AMD card uses a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel card uses a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. Transistor counts reflect this difference: the AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a density of 65.2M transistors per mm². The Intel chip packs 19,600 million transistors onto a 272 mm² die, achieving 72.1M transistors per mm². The Intel chip is therefore larger, denser, and contains roughly 47% more transistors.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel card has 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. This gives the Intel card 58% more memory bandwidth and triple the capacity.

Compute unit layouts also differ. The AMD card has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel card has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. Despite having 25% more shading units, the Intel card delivers only 12.29 TFLOPS FP32, while the AMD card delivers 22.08 TFLOPS FP32. The AMD card also leads in pixel rate at 172.5 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s for Intel, and in texture rate at 345.0 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s for Intel. The AMD card's higher FP32 throughput suggests better raw shader performance per unit.

FP16 processing reveals another architectural difference. The AMD card achieves 22.08 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, meaning no dedicated half-precision acceleration. The Intel card achieves 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio, indicating dedicated FP16 hardware that doubles throughput. This makes the Intel architecture potentially better suited for AI inference and scientific workloads that use reduced precision.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ: the AMD card has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Intel card has 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the database records zero wins for either card. This means there are no direct comparison scores available. However, the individual benchmark data for the AMD card provides context. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the AMD card scores 2,336. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 83,109. These results contribute to its average benchmark score of 42,723 and its 83rd percentile ranking.

The nearest rivals for the AMD card provide reference points. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has an average score of 43,223, which is 1.2% higher than the AMD card. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262, also 1.2% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43,268, 1.3% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43,301, 1.3% higher. The AMD card is thus clustered tightly with these four GPUs, all within a 1.3% range.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the median of all GPUs in the database, but this ranking is based on incomplete data. The absence of measured scores means the Intel card cannot be directly compared to the AMD card using recorded benchmark results.

The data indicates that the AMD card's performance level is well established through multiple benchmark tests. The Intel card's performance profile remains unquantified in the database. Any head-to-head comparison must therefore rely on specification analysis rather than measured performance.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in scenarios that demand raw FP32 compute. Its 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 rate is 79.6% higher than the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. This gives the AMD card a clear edge in traditional gaming, where shader performance directly affects frame rates. The AMD card also has a higher boost clock at 2695 MHz versus 2400 MHz, which supports its case for gaming responsiveness. Its 170 W TDP and single 8-pin connector make it a more accessible option for standard desktop builds, with a suggested 450 W power supply.

The AMD card's 83rd percentile ranking and average score of 42,723, with nearest rivals all within 1.3%, indicate a well-measured, competitive mainstream gaming card. Its 8 GB memory capacity is sufficient for current gaming resolutions, and its 204 mm length fits smaller cases.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 24 GB GDDR6 pool is triple the AMD card's 8 GB, which matters for large 3D scenes, machine learning datasets, and professional visualization workloads. The 456.0 GB/s bandwidth is 58% higher, reducing data transfer bottlenecks in memory-heavy tasks. The PCIe 5.0 x8 interface doubles the per-lane bandwidth potential of the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface on the AMD card, benefiting data-intensive professional workflows.

The Intel card also leads in FP16 compute with 24.58 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, which could benefit AI inference and scientific computing that use half-precision arithmetic. Its 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs provide higher peak throughput for pixel fill and texture operations, with 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s respectively, compared to 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s for AMD. The 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs support multi-display professional setups.

The Intel card's 400 W TDP and 800 W suggested power supply indicate a power-hungry professional card. Its 300 mm length requires larger chassis support. The 5 nm process and 19,600 million transistors suggest a more complex, modern silicon design, though the measured performance data is absent.

In summary, the AMD card wins for gaming and general compute based on measured data and higher FP32 throughput. The Intel card wins for memory-intensive professional applications and FP16 workloads, based on its specification advantages in capacity, bandwidth, and half-precision compute.
