AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs Intel Arc B370 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database shows a decisive performance gap between the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP and the Intel Arc B370. The AMD card's average benchmark score of 63,830 places it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs, while the Intel Arc B370 averages just 1,184, sitting in the 5th percentile. This is not a close contest by any measure.

Looking at the two recorded benchmark tests, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP delivers 88,183 in Geekbench OpenCL and 39,476 in Geekbench Vulkan. The Intel Arc B370 has a single recorded result of 1,184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The RX 9060 XT LP's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA CMP 30HX at 63,842 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63,775 (0.1% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63,693 (0.2% delta). The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, sits near the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1,186 (-0.2% delta) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1,190 (-0.5% delta).

The raw performance difference is approximately 54 times in favor of the AMD part when comparing average benchmark scores. Even accounting for different benchmark suites, the gap is overwhelming. The AMD card's FP32 throughput of 24.99 TFLOPS versus the Intel part's 6.144 TFLOPS shows a 4x advantage in raw compute. Texture rate tells a similar story: 390.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s, a 4x margin. Pixel rate favors AMD at 195.2 GPixel/s versus Intel's 48.00 GPixel/s.

The Intel Arc B370's only advantage appears to be thermal and power characteristics, with a 25 W TDP compared to the AMD card's 140 W. But in pure performance terms, the database shows no benchmark where the Intel part wins or comes close. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, meaning no shared test exists between these two products, so the comparison relies on their respective average scores and percentile rankings.

The Verdict

The data supports only one conclusion: the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is in a completely different performance class from the Intel Arc B370. The AMD card's 89th percentile ranking versus the Intel part's 5th percentile makes the hierarchy unambiguous. Anyone selecting between these two for compute-intensive workloads should choose the AMD card without hesitation, provided the 140 W power requirement and dual-slot form factor are acceptable.

The Intel Arc B370, with its 25 W TDP and integrated graphics package, targets a fundamentally different use case. Its nearest rivals are legacy mobile parts from over a decade ago, which indicates the intended segment is low-power, portable devices where performance expectations are modest. The Intel part uses system shared memory, which ties its bandwidth to the host system, whereas the AMD card has dedicated 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivering 322.3 GB/s.

For users who need a discrete graphics card with active cooling, a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and dedicated video memory, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is the only sensible option. The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated processor graphics solution, not a comparable add-in board. The benchmark data does not support any scenario where the Intel part outperforms the AMD card.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 149.2 million per square millimeter. The Intel Arc B370 uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process at Intel. Intel has not disclosed transistor count, die size, or density for this part.

The AMD card's clock strategy includes a 1380 MHz base clock, a 2450 MHz game clock, and a 3050 MHz boost clock. Memory runs at 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective speed. The Intel part has a 300 MHz base clock and a 2400 MHz boost clock, with no game clock specified. Its memory operates as system shared, meaning speed is dependent on the host platform.

Shading unit counts differ substantially: the AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The Intel part has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. Ray tracing cores number 32 on the AMD card versus 10 on the Intel part. Neither product lists tensor cores.

Compute precision handling differs as well. The AMD card delivers 24.99 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part provides 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. This means the Intel architecture can double its FP16 throughput relative to FP32, while AMD maintains parity between the two precisions.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins in every measurable performance category recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score of 63,830 places it alongside the NVIDIA CMP 30HX and AMD Radeon RX 7600M, all within 0.2% of each other. The card's 24.99 TFLOPS FP32 compute, 390.4 GTexel/s texture fill, and 195.2 GPixel/s pixel throughput make it suitable for demanding 3D workloads, content creation, and gaming at high settings. The 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with 322.3 GB/s bandwidth provides ample capacity for large textures and datasets.

The Intel Arc B370 wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 25 W TDP is 115 W lower than the AMD card's 140 W requirement. As an integrated part with no power connectors, it can be deployed in compact, fanless, or battery-powered systems where the AMD card's dual-slot footprint and external power needs would be prohibitive. The 3 nm Intel process node and Xe3-LPG architecture target low-power operation, and the FP16 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio suggests the architecture prioritizes half-precision workloads where power per FLOP matters more than absolute performance.

For users with a 300 W PSU and room for a dual-slot card, the AMD part is the clear choice. For ultra-portable devices where system shared memory and integrated graphics are the only options, the Intel Arc B370 provides a baseline level of 3D capability with minimal power draw. The database shows no overlap in their intended performance envelopes.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses a 4 nm TSMC process with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, while the Intel Arc B370 uses a 3 nm Intel process with undisclosed transistor count and die size. Clock speeds show the AMD card boosting to 3050 MHz versus the Intel part's 2400 MHz, with base clocks of 1380 MHz and 300 MHz respectively.

Memory configurations are fundamentally different: the AMD card has 16 GB GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and 322.3 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. The AMD card's memory clock is 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective speed; the Intel part lists no memory clock.

Compute resources differ in every category: 2048 versus 1280 shading units, 128 versus 40 TMUs, 64 versus 20 ROPs, and 32 versus 10 ray tracing cores. Pixel rate is 195.2 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s, texture rate is 390.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 24.99 TFLOPS versus 6.144 TFLOPS.
