AMD Radeon RX 9060 vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between these two cards. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 has a full suite of ten benchmark entries, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means all measurable performance wins currently belong to the AMD card by default, as there is no comparative data for the Intel offering. The AMD part sits at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16014. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (average score 16129, delta -0.7%), the AMD Radeon R9 370X (average score 15862, delta 1%), and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 (average score 15852, delta 1%). These numbers indicate the RX 9060 lands in a competitive midrange position, within roughly one percent of several established cards.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, by contrast, holds the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of data. The database shows no nearest rivals for the Intel card, which further isolates it from direct comparison. The use-case split is therefore lopsided: the RX 9060 demonstrates measurable capability across DirectX 10, 11, 12, and 9 tests, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual offers no verified performance footprint. For any workload where benchmark scores matter, the AMD card is the only one with evidence of execution. The Intel card does carry professional positioning cues from its name and memory capacity, but the database cannot confirm any win for it.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge sharply in their internal design. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, with the codename Strix Point, and belongs to the Navi IV generation (RX 9000 series). It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, containing 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 149.2M per mm². The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip on Xe2-HPG architecture from the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. It is built on a 5 nm TSMC process, with 19,600 million transistors across a 272 mm² die, resulting in a much lower density of 72.1M per mm². The AMD chip packs more transistors into a smaller area, while the Intel die is physically larger but less dense.

Core counts tell a different story. The Intel card has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 render output units, and 20 ray tracing cores. The AMD card has 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. Intel fields more shaders, TMUs, and ROPs, while AMD fields more ray tracing cores. Neither card lists tensor cores. Clock behavior also differs: the AMD part runs at a 1700 MHz base, 2990 MHz boost, and 2400 MHz game clock, whereas the Intel card has a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost with no game clock specified. Memory configurations are radically different. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel card uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192 bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. That is three times the capacity and a substantial bandwidth advantage for Intel.

Power and interface specifications also differ. The AMD card draws a 132 W TDP with a 300 W suggested PSU and a single 8-pin connector. The Intel card draws a 400 W TDP with an 800 W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin connector. Both are dual-slot designs. The bus interface differs: AMD uses PCIe 5.0 x16, Intel uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs also diverge, with the AMD card offering one HDMI 2.1b and two DisplayPort 2.1a outputs, while the Intel card offers four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The Intel card has recorded physical dimensions of 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width, while the AMD card's dimensions are not listed. Release dates place the AMD card at 2025-08-04 and the Intel card at 2025-09-04, one month apart.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty. There are no paired test results comparing the AMD Radeon RX 9060 against the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. Consequently, the largest wins each way cannot be enumerated from direct comparisons. The AMD card's standalone scores, however, provide context for its capability. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 3322. Geekbench OpenCL returns 88183, and Geekbench Vulkan returns 39476. Passmark results include DirectX 10 at 104, DirectX 11 at 182, DirectX 12 at 44, DirectX 9 at 280, G2D at 1002, G3D at 17631, and GPU compute at 9919. These numbers show a card that handles legacy DirectX 9 and 11 workloads with relative strength, while DirectX 12 performance appears weaker on the Passmark scale. The average benchmark score of 16014 places it just below the RTX 3060 Ti's 16129, a difference of only 0.7%. It sits slightly above the R9 370X and RX 7700, both at 1% ahead.

The Intel card has no scores to analyze. Its average benchmark score is zero, and its percentile sits at 50, which likely reflects the absence of data rather than a measured performance level. The database records no nearest rivals for it, meaning there is no reference point for how it might perform. This asymmetry in available data means the RX 9060 wins every measurable head-to-head by default. The Intel card's architectural specifications, such as 24 GB memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, suggest it targets large-data workloads, but the database cannot verify any benchmark outcome. For factual comparison, the AMD card is the only one with recorded evidence of performance.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split in purpose. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers measurable performance across a broad set of benchmarks, with an average score of 16014 and a 59th percentile placement. It competes within one percent of the RTX 3060 Ti, R9 370X, and RX 7700, all of which have average scores between 15679 and 16129. Its 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 28 ray tracing cores suggest strong general-purpose and ray-traced workloads. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, with no benchmark entries, cannot be assessed for performance. Its 24 GB memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, along with a 400 W TDP, indicate a card designed for large data buffers and compute-heavy tasks, but the database contains no evidence of how it executes those tasks. The Intel card's FP16 output of 24.58 TFLOPS exceeds its FP32 output, pointing to a focus on reduced-precision workloads, but again without verification.

For users who require confirmed benchmark results, the RX 9060 is the only choice with recorded data. Its percentile rank of 59 places it above the Intel card's 50th percentile, though that Intel figure may reflect data absence rather than a true performance level. The AMD card also offers a lower TDP of 132 W versus 400 W, a smaller suggested PSU of 300 W versus 800 W, and a more common 8-pin connector. The Intel card counters with three times the memory and a wider 192 bit bus, which could benefit memory-intensive applications if performance were verified. The AMD card's higher FP32 throughput (21.43 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS) and higher boost clock (2990 MHz versus 2400 MHz) suggest faster single-precision execution. The Intel card's higher texture rate (384.0 GTexel/s versus 334.9 GTexel/s) and larger memory pool suggest a different workload orientation. Based strictly on the database, the RX 9060 is the card with demonstrated capability, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual remains an unproven specification sheet.
