AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual occupy different performance spaces, and the benchmark data reflects that clearly. For the RX 7700 XT, the recorded measurements show a wide range of results across DirectX 10, 11, 12, and 9 tests, plus OpenCL and Vulkan workloads. Its PassMark G3D score sits at 22547, with a GPU compute score of 12912, and it reaches 138383 in Geekbench OpenCL. The card also delivers 3316 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and 46443 in Geekbench Vulkan. These numbers place it at the 67th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 22549.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile ranking sits at 50, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. This means the data cannot confirm any specific workload wins for the Intel card directly. Instead, the analysis must rely on the architectural specifications and the known performance envelope of the RX 7700 XT to infer where each card would likely excel. The RX 7700 XT clearly wins in raw rasterization throughput based on its FP32 figure of 35.17 TFLOPS, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual shows a different strength: its FP16 output of 24.58 TFLOPS, achieved at a 2:1 ratio, suggests the Intel card is oriented toward compute tasks that leverage half-precision math, such as AI inference or certain professional rendering pipelines.

For gaming-focused workloads, the RX 7700 XT has the edge in pixel and texture processing. Its pixel rate of 244.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 549.5 GTexel/s dwarf the Intel card's 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. The AMD card also has more shading units, 3456 versus 2560, and more ray tracing cores, 54 versus 20. The Intel card compensates with double the memory capacity at 24 GB versus 12 GB, and slightly higher memory bandwidth at 456.0 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s, which could favor large dataset workloads or heavy multitasking.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Wheat Nas and belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, packing 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip based on Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. It also uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, but with fewer transistors: 19,600 million on a 272 mm² die, for a density of 72.1M per mm². The smaller die and lower transistor count suggest the Intel design is less complex in terms of raw compute units.

Clock behavior differs notably. The RX 7700 XT has a base clock of 1435 MHz, a boost clock of 2544 MHz, and a game clock of 2171 MHz. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a higher base clock of 2000 MHz but a lower boost clock of 2400 MHz, and no game clock is listed. Memory clocks also differ slightly: the AMD card runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the Intel card runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective. Both use GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, but the Intel card's higher effective speed yields 456.0 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s.

The memory configuration is a major differentiator. The RX 7700 XT offers 12 GB, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual offers 24 GB. This doubling of capacity likely targets different use cases. The RX 7700 XT's higher FP32 throughput, 35.17 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS, makes it the stronger choice for traditional single-precision graphics workloads. The Intel card's FP16 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS, achieved at a 2:1 ratio compared to its FP32, indicates a design that can switch to half-precision for compute acceleration, a feature absent in the AMD card's 1:1 FP16/FP32 ratio.

Power and interface specifications also diverge. The RX 7700 XT has a TDP of 245 W, uses two 8-pin power connectors, and requires a 550 W suggested PSU. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a TDP of 400 W, uses a single 16-pin connector, and requires an 800 W suggested PSU. The Intel card also uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, while the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ as well: the AMD card has one HDMI 2.1, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C, while the Intel card has four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Physical dimensions favor the Intel card in height and width, but the AMD card is shorter: 267 mm versus 300 mm in length, 135 mm versus 110 mm in height, and 50 mm versus 40 mm in width.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct benchmark comparisons are impossible because the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded scores in the database. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counts for both cards are zero. This absence of data means the analysis must extrapolate from the RX 7700 XT's known results and the architectural specifications of both cards.

The RX 7700 XT's PassMark G3D score of 22547 places it in a competitive position against its nearest rivals. The database lists the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile with an average score of 22435, which is 0.5% behind the AMD card. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile scores 22729, which is 0.8% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, which is 1.5% ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 scores 22170, which is 1.7% behind. These deltas show the RX 7700 XT sits in a tight cluster, within roughly 2% of several established cards, indicating consistent mid-to-high-range performance.

The RX 7700 XT's compute scores reinforce its position. Its PassMark GPU compute result of 12912 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 138383 suggest strong general-purpose compute capabilities. The Vulkan score of 46443 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3316 further confirm its DirectX 12 and Vulkan readiness. The PassMark DirectX 11 score of 232 is notably higher than the DirectX 12 score of 79, which might indicate driver optimization differences or workload characteristics in those specific tests. The DirectX 9 score of 294 and DirectX 10 score of 119 show legacy API support remains functional.

For the Intel card, the absence of benchmarks means no delta percentages can be calculated. The database records its percentile as 50, which is below the RX 7700 XT's 67, but this percentile likely reflects the lack of data rather than measured performance. The Intel card's higher TDP of 400 W and PCIe 5.0 interface suggest it is designed for different priorities, possibly professional compute or AI workloads where memory capacity and half-precision throughput matter more than raw rasterization speed.

The Verdict

The data indicates the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is the stronger choice for graphics-intensive workloads. Its FP32 performance of 35.17 TFLOPS, higher pixel and texture rates, and larger number of shading units and RT cores give it a clear advantage in traditional rendering. The recorded benchmark scores, including a PassMark G3D result of 22547 and a 67th percentile ranking, confirm it performs competitively against established rivals like the RTX 2080 and RTX 4060 Mobile, with deltas within 1.5%. The card's lower TDP of 245 W and 550 W PSU requirement also make it easier to integrate into existing systems.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual presents a different value proposition based on its specifications. The 24 GB memory capacity, doubled from the AMD card, and the FP16 2:1 ratio of 24.58 TFLOPS suggest a focus on professional compute, AI inference, or large-scale data processing. Its PCIe 5.0 x8 interface and four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs reinforce a workstation-oriented design. However, without any recorded benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm its actual performance. The 400 W TDP and 800 W PSU requirement indicate higher power draw, and the lack of measured results means its real-world capabilities remain unverified.

For users prioritizing gaming or mainstream graphics, the RX 7700 XT is the data-backed choice. For those needing maximum memory capacity and half-precision compute, the Intel card offers a specification-based alternative, but its performance remains unproven in the recorded measurements. The choice ultimately depends on whether the workload favors raw FP32 throughput or memory capacity and FP16 acceleration.
