AMD Radeon RX 9060 vs Intel Arc B370 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a decisive outcome. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is categorically the faster graphics processor, holding a 180.6% advantage over the Intel Arc B370 in the only shared benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The RX 9060’s average benchmark score of 16014 places it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs, while the Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile with an average score of 1184. The RX 9060 is positioned near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (average score 16129, delta -0.7%) and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 (average score 15852, delta 1%). The Intel Arc B370 is instead comparable to legacy parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (average score 1190, delta -0.5%). For any desktop gaming or compute workload, the RX 9060 is the only viable choice from this data. The Arc B370, with its 25 W TDP and integrated form factor, serves a fundamentally different, low-power mobile or embedded role, but its performance ceiling is dramatically lower.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge completely in their design philosophies and target platforms. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 uses the Navi 44 chip on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 29,700 million transistors into a 199 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 149.2M / mm². The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process. Its transistor count and die size are recorded as unknown. The RX 9060 is a discrete add-in board with a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, a dual-slot cooler, and a single 8-pin power connector, requiring a 300 W suggested PSU. The Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connectors and a system-dependent memory configuration.

Key architectural features differ sharply. The RX 9060 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. The RX 9060 delivers 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 and 21.43 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). The Arc B370 delivers 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The RX 9060 has dedicated GDDR6 memory with a 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Arc B370 uses system shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity exists, but the raw execution resources are vastly different.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark in the database is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. In this test, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 3322 points, while the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 points. The delta is 180.6% in favor of the RX 9060, meaning the RX 9060 delivers nearly three times the performance of the Arc B370 in this specific workload.

The RX 9060's broader benchmark suite reinforces its dominance. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 88183, and its Vulkan score is 39476. In Passmark tests, it scores 17631 in G3D, 9919 in GPU compute, 1002 in G2D, and 280 in DirectX 9. The Arc B370 has no recorded scores in any of these tests, so direct comparison is limited to the single 3DMark result. The RX 9060 also holds a percentile rank of 59 versus the Arc B370's 5, a 54-point gap in overall standing.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 wins in every recorded metric. It is the clear choice for discrete desktop gaming, delivering 180.6% higher 3DMark Steel Nomad performance. Its 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 334.9 GTexel/s texture rate, and 191.4 GPixel/s pixel rate make it suitable for high-resolution rendering and compute workloads. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth provides dedicated, fast storage for frame buffers and textures. The RX 9060's 28 ray tracing cores and 12 Ultimate support position it for modern gaming features.

The Intel Arc B370 wins only in the categories of power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is dramatically lower than the RX 9060's 132 W, and its IGP form factor requires no additional power connectors or expansion slot. This makes it suitable for compact, low-power portable devices where battery life and thermal constraints outweigh raw performance. Its FP16 output of 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1) indicates some compute capability, but its FP32 performance of 6.144 TFLOPS is far below the RX 9060. For any application where performance is the primary criterion, the RX 9060 is the unequivocal winner. For ultra-low-power integrated graphics, the Arc B370 serves that niche, but it cannot compete with the RX 9060 in any head-to-head benchmark.
