Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 and Intel Arc Pro B70 represent two distinct architectural approaches. The RX 9060 uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture with the codename Strix Point, part of the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. The Arc Pro B70 uses the BMG-G31 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation.

The RX 9060 is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, packing 29,700 million transistors into a 199 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 149.2M per mm². The Arc Pro B70 uses a 5 nm process at TSMC with a substantially larger 368 mm² die, though its transistor count remains unknown in the database. This die size difference is significant, with the Intel chip being roughly 85% larger in area.

The shading resources differ considerably. The RX 9060 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The Arc Pro B70 more than doubles these resources with 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: the RX 9060 has 28 RT cores versus 32 RT cores on the Arc Pro B70. Neither GPU has tensor cores recorded.

Clock behavior separates the two as well. The RX 9060 runs at a 1700 MHz base clock with a 2990 MHz boost and a 2400 MHz game clock. The Arc Pro B70 has a higher base clock at 2280 MHz but a lower boost at 2800 MHz, and no game clock is recorded. Memory clocks also differ: the RX 9060 uses 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) while the Arc Pro B70 uses 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective).

The compute capabilities show interesting differences. The RX 9060 delivers 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 and the same 21.43 TFLOPS of FP16 (a 1:1 ratio). The Arc Pro B70 delivers 22.94 TFLOPS of FP32 and 45.88 TFLOPS of FP16 (a 2:1 ratio). This means the Intel card has modestly higher FP32 throughput but more than double the FP16 throughput. Pixel and texture rates follow the resource counts: the RX 9060 produces 191.4 GPixel/s and 334.9 GTexel/s, while the Arc Pro B70 produces 358.4 GPixel/s and 716.8 GTexel/s.

Both GPUs support PCIe 5.0 x16 and list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ in configuration: the RX 9060 has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a, while the Arc Pro B70 has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. The Arc Pro B70 has recorded physical dimensions of 267 mm length, 110 mm height, and 39 mm width, while the RX 9060 has no dimensions recorded. Both are dual-slot cards.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results directly comparing the AMD Radeon RX 9060 and Intel Arc Pro B70. The wins count stands at 0 for each GPU. The Arc Pro B70 has an empty benchmark array, meaning no individual test scores are recorded for it. The RX 9060, in contrast, has ten recorded benchmark scores across multiple suites.

For the RX 9060, the recorded data shows: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 3322, Geekbench OpenCL at 88183, Geekbench Vulkan at 39476, Passmark DirectX 10 at 104, Passmark DirectX 11 at 182, Passmark DirectX 12 at 44, Passmark DirectX 9 at 280, Passmark G2D at 1002, Passmark G3D at 17631, and Passmark GPU Compute at 9919. These scores produce the RX 9060's average benchmark score of 16014.

Without any recorded benchmarks for the Arc Pro B70, direct numerical comparison is impossible. However, the nearest rivals for the RX 9060 provide context for its performance tier. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 0.7% higher on average, placing it just ahead. The AMD Radeon R9 370X and RX 7700 each score 1% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 scores 2.1% lower. These narrow margins place the RX 9060 in a tightly contested performance band.

The compute-oriented workloads show the RX 9060 achieving 9919 on Passmark GPU Compute, while its G3D score reaches 17631. The DirectX 9 score of 280 is substantially higher than the DirectX 11 score of 182 and DirectX 10 score of 104, while DirectX 12 shows the lowest at 44. The Geekbench OpenCL result of 88183 is more than double the Vulkan result of 39476, indicating different performance characteristics across API families.

For the Arc Pro B70, the only performance-relevant figures come from its theoretical specifications. Its FP32 rating of 22.94 TFLOPS is 7% higher than the RX 9060's 21.43 TFLOPS. Its FP16 rating of 45.88 TFLOPS is 114% higher. The texture rate of 716.8 GTexel/s is 114% higher than the RX 9060's 334.9 GTexel/s, and the pixel rate of 358.4 GPixel/s is 87% higher than the RX 9060's 191.4 GPixel/s. The memory bandwidth of 608.0 GB/s is 111% higher than the RX 9060's 288.0 GB/s.

These theoretical advantages are substantial on paper, but without benchmark data, they remain unverified. The RX 9060's 59th percentile ranking reflects actual measured performance, while the Arc Pro B70's 50th percentile appears to be a placeholder or estimate given its zero average score.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 wins in the only category with actual measured results: benchmark scores. Its ten recorded tests provide a complete performance profile, and its 59th percentile ranking places it above half of all GPUs in the database. The average benchmark score of 16014, with nearest rivals within 2.1% either direction, indicates a stable, competitive position in its segment. The RX 9060 also wins on power efficiency metrics, with a 132 W TDP and 300 W suggested PSU compared to 230 W and 550 W for the Arc Pro B70. Its smaller die and higher transistor density suggest a more compact, efficient design.

The Intel Arc Pro B70 wins on raw specification counts. Its 32 GB memory capacity is four times that of the RX 9060, and its 608.0 GB/s bandwidth is more than double. The 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs all double or nearly double the RX 9060's corresponding resources. FP16 throughput at 45.88 TFLOPS is more than double, which could benefit workloads that leverage packed math. The 368 mm² die provides substantially more silicon area for these resources. The higher base clock of 2280 MHz suggests strong sustained performance potential. The 32 RT cores exceed the RX 9060's 28.

The absence of benchmark data for the Arc Pro B70 means its specification advantages remain theoretical. The RX 9060's measured performance, including the 17631 Passmark G3D score and 88183 Geekbench OpenCL result, demonstrates real-world capability. The Arc Pro B70's 50th percentile ranking, despite no recorded scores, places it below the RX 9060's 59th percentile in the database's overall standings.

Workload segmentation follows the data. The RX 9060 suits scenarios where power draw and PSU requirements matter, given its 132 W TDP. Its established benchmark scores provide confidence for DirectX and OpenCL workloads. The Arc Pro B70 targets memory-intensive applications where 32 GB capacity and 608.0 GB/s bandwidth are decisive. Its FP16 capability at 45.88 TFLOPS could benefit compute tasks using reduced precision. The larger die and higher TDP indicate a card designed for sustained heavy loads rather than efficiency.

The release timeline also separates the two. The RX 9060 arrived in August 2025 with Active production status. The Arc Pro B70 followed in March 2026 with a 949 USD launch MSRP. The later release date for the Intel card aligns with its larger resource counts, suggesting a different market positioning despite the nominal performance-tier overlap implied by the percentile values.
