AMD Radeon RX 9060 vs Intel Arc B770 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a significant scoring gap between the AMD Radeon RX 9060 and the Intel Arc B770, but the comparison is constrained by the available measurements. The RX 9060 has a full set of benchmark scores across ten different tests, while the Arc B770 currently has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means a direct head-to-head numerical comparison cannot be constructed from the existing data.

What can be established is the absolute performance level of the RX 9060. Its average benchmark score is 16014, placing it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The nearest rival data provides context: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti averages 16129, which is 0.7% higher than the RX 9060. The AMD Radeon R9 370X averages 15862, which is 1% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 averages 15852, also 1% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 averages 15679, which is 2.1% lower. These deltas show the RX 9060 sitting within a narrow performance band, effectively trading places with the RTX 3060 Ti while edging out the other three rivals.

The RX 9060's individual benchmark results show a wide spread across test types. In PassMark G3D, it scores 17631, which is its strongest absolute result. The PassMark G2D score is 1002, and the PassMark GPU Compute score is 9919. In Geekbench, the OpenCL score reaches 88183, while the Vulkan score is 39476. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 3322. The older DirectX API tests show lower numbers: PassMark DirectX 9 scores 280, DirectX 11 scores 182, DirectX 10 scores 104, and DirectX 12 scores 44. These results indicate that the card performs substantially better in modern compute and graphics workloads than in legacy API paths, which is consistent with its architecture generation.

For the Arc B770, the database records no benchmark scores at all. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile rank is 50, which is the median placeholder for unmeasured hardware. The nearest rivals array is empty. Therefore, the head-to-head section must rely on the only concrete comparison available: the RX 9060's measured scores versus the Arc B770's absence of measured scores. The data confirms that the RX 9060 has verifiable performance figures, while the Arc B770 does not yet have any recorded results to compare.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 uses the Navi 44 chip, built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, with the codename Strix Point. It belongs to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation and is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 149.2 million per square millimeter.

The Intel Arc B770 uses the BMG-G31 chip, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, and belongs to the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 368 mm², which is considerably larger than the RX 9060's die, though the transistor count is listed as unknown, so a direct density comparison is not possible.

Clock behavior differs substantially. The RX 9060 has a base clock of 1700 MHz, a boost clock of 2990 MHz, and a game clock of 2400 MHz. The Arc B770 has a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with no game clock listed. The RX 9060's boost clock is 590 MHz higher than the Arc B770's boost clock, which is a notable advantage in peak frequency.

Memory architecture is a major divergence. The RX 9060 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The Arc B770 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256 bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. That is exactly double the memory capacity and 224 GB/s more bandwidth, which is a decisive advantage for the Intel part in memory-heavy workloads. The memory clock also differs: the RX 9060 runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the Arc B770 runs at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective).

Compute resources show a different balance. The RX 9060 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc B770 has 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, 128 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has more than double the shading units, exactly double the TMUs and ROPs, and four more RT cores. However, the peak FP32 throughput tells a different story: the RX 9060 delivers 21.43 TFLOPS, while the Arc B770 delivers 19.66 TFLOPS. The RX 9060 is ahead in FP32 despite having fewer than half the shading units, which indicates a much higher per-shader efficiency. In FP16, the RX 9060 delivers 21.43 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), while the Arc B770 delivers 39.32 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), giving the Intel part a 17.89 TFLOPS advantage in half-precision work.

Pixel and texture rates also favor Intel. The Arc B770 achieves 307.2 GPixel/s and 614.4 GTexel/s, while the RX 9060 achieves 191.4 GPixel/s and 334.9 GTexel/s. The Intel part is 60.5% higher in pixel rate and 83.5% higher in texture rate.

Power and interface specifications differ as well. The RX 9060 has a TDP of 132 W and a suggested PSU of 300 W, using one 8-pin power connector. The Arc B770 has a TDP of 225 W and a suggested PSU of 550 W, using one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector. The RX 9060 uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc B770 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs are similar in count but differ in versions: the RX 9060 has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a, while the Arc B770 has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear conclusion: the AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the only one of the two with measured performance, and its scores place it in a competitive position against established rivals. With an average benchmark score of 16014 and a 59th percentile rank, it sits within 0.7% of the RTX 3060 Ti and ahead of three other comparable GPUs by margins ranging from 1% to 2.1%. Buyers seeking verifiable performance data should select the RX 9060, as the Arc B770 has no recorded benchmark results to substantiate any performance claim.

For users who prioritize memory capacity and bandwidth, the Arc B770's 16 GB GDDR6 on a 256 bit bus with 512.0 GB/s bandwidth is a clear advantage over the RX 9060's 8 GB and 288.0 GB/s. The Intel part also leads in raw compute unit counts, pixel rate, texture rate, and FP16 throughput. However, none of these specifications are backed by measured scores in the database. The RX 9060 leads in FP32 throughput, boost clock, power efficiency (132 W TDP versus 225 W), and PCIe interface version.

The verdict hinges on what the data can prove. The RX 9060 has demonstrated performance across ten benchmarks. The Arc B770 has demonstrated none. For any application where benchmark scores matter, the RX 9060 is the only defensible choice based on the recorded data.
