AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs Intel Arc Pro B390 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has concrete benchmark scores, while the Intel Arc Pro B390 has no recorded benchmark entries in the database at all. The AMD card delivers an average benchmark score of 63,830 across two tests, with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,183 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 39,476. The Intel part shows an average score of 0 and holds the 50th percentile among all GPUs, whereas the AMD card sits in the 89th percentile.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT LP's nearest rivals help contextualize its performance. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX posts an average score of 63,842, which is exactly 0% different from the AMD card. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775, a 0.1% gap, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64,212, placing it 0.6% ahead. These figures indicate the RX 9060 XT LP clusters tightly with mid-range GPUs from prior generations, all within roughly one percentage point of one another.

Since the Intel Arc Pro B390 has no recorded benchmarks, no direct head-to-head score comparisons exist. The available data instead shows a stark contrast in measurement coverage: one product has a full benchmark profile, the other does not. The AMD card's FP32 throughput of 24.99 TFLOPS versus the Intel part's 7.680 TFLOPS suggests a substantial raw compute advantage, but the database records no actual test results to confirm real-world behavior for the Intel product.

The pixel and texture rates reinforce the separation. The AMD card renders 195.2 GPixel/s and 390.4 GTexel/s, while the Intel Arc Pro B390 manages 60.00 GPixel/s and 120.0 GTexel/s. These are specification-level figures, not benchmark outcomes, but they align with the absence of recorded Intel test scores. The AMD card also delivers FP16 at 24.99 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Intel part achieves 15.36 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, indicating different compute prioritization.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear separation in measured performance availability. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has a complete benchmark record and ranks in the 89th percentile of all GPUs, a strong position supported by its average score of 63,830. The Intel Arc Pro B390 has no benchmark scores in the database, placing it in the 50th percentile by default, which reflects missing data rather than measured capability.

From the recorded figures, the AMD card is the only one with verifiable compute performance. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel part uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, a configuration that typically introduces variability based on the host platform. The AMD card's 140 W TDP with a 300 W suggested PSU and a single 8-pin connector indicates a discrete, self-contained solution. The Intel part draws 80 W, uses no power connectors, and is an IGP with the bus interface listed as "IGP," meaning it relies entirely on the host system for power and memory access.

The Intel Arc Pro B390's release date of January 26, 2026, comes after the AMD card's December 16, 2025, release. Both products are marked as Active in production status. The AMD card uses a 4 nm TSMC process with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, while the Intel part uses a 3 nm Intel process with unknown transistor count and die size. The data does not permit a performance verdict for the Intel product, only a structural one: it is an integrated graphics solution with lower raw specification ceilings.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins on every metric where recorded data exists. It has a higher boost clock at 3050 MHz versus 2500 MHz, a higher base clock at 1380 MHz versus 300 MHz, and a game clock of 2450 MHz that the Intel part does not list. Its shading unit count of 2048 exceeds the Intel part's 1536, its texture mapping units number 128 versus 48, and its render output units total 64 versus 24. Ray tracing cores also favor AMD at 32 versus 12.

Memory configuration strongly favors the discrete AMD card. The RX 9060 XT LP has dedicated 16 GB GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and 322.3 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Arc Pro B390 uses system-shared memory with no fixed size, type, bus width, or bandwidth; the database lists these as "System Shared" and "System Dependent," meaning performance scales with whatever host memory is available. For workloads that depend on consistent memory bandwidth, the AMD card's dedicated allocation provides a structural advantage.

The Intel Arc Pro B390 wins on power efficiency as a specification. Its 80 W TDP is lower than the AMD card's 140 W, and it requires no power connectors or suggested PSU rating. Its IGP form factor means it occupies no expansion slot, which suits compact portable systems. The Intel part also uses a 3 nm process node from Intel, one step smaller than the AMD card's 4 nm TSMC node, though the database lists the Intel transistor count and die size as unknown, so density comparisons are not possible.

Q: What process nodes do the two GPUs use?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses a 4 nm TSMC process with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die. The Intel Arc Pro B390 uses a 3 nm Intel process, but its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP belongs to the Radeon RX 9000 series and uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture. Its generation is listed as Navi IV (RX 9000), and its predecessor is Navi III. The Intel Arc Pro B390 uses the Panther Lake chip built on Xe3-LPG architecture, with its generation listed as Arc Graphics-WM (Panther Lake) and its predecessor as HD Graphics-WM. This places the two products in entirely different architectural families with different design goals.

The AMD card is a discrete solution with a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface and dual-slot form factor. The Intel part is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with the bus interface listed as "IGP" and the slot width as "IGP," meaning it is embedded into a host processor rather than installed as a separate board. Display outputs differ accordingly: the AMD card provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a, while the Intel part's outputs are "Portable Device Dependent."

Compute capabilities show architectural divergence. The AMD card achieves 24.99 TFLOPS FP32 and the same 24.99 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, indicating equal throughput for both precision formats. The Intel part delivers 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 but 15.36 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, meaning its FP16 throughput is double its FP32 rate. This suggests the Intel architecture prioritizes lower-precision workloads, while the AMD architecture treats FP16 and FP32 equivalently.

Both products support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. The AMD card's transistor density calculates to 149.2 million transistors per square millimeter given its known 29,700 million transistor count and 199 mm² die size. The Intel part lacks this data entirely.

Specification Differences

Clock speeds differ markedly. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has a base clock of 1380 MHz, a boost clock of 3050 MHz, and a game clock of 2450 MHz. The Intel Arc Pro B390 has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, with no game clock listed. The AMD memory clock runs at 2518 MHz or 20.1 Gbps effective, while the Intel memory clock is "System Shared."

Compute unit counts diverge across every category. The AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. Neither product lists tensor cores.

Rasterization throughput reflects these counts. The AMD card produces 195.2 GPixel/s and 390.4 GTexel/s. The Intel part produces 60.00 GPixel/s and 120.0 GTexel/s. The AMD card's pixel rate is more than three times the Intel part's, and its texture rate is also more than three times higher.

Power and physical specifications separate the two clearly. The AMD card has a 140 W TDP, dual-slot width, 1x 8-pin power connector, and a 300 W suggested PSU. The Intel part has an 80 W TDP, IGP slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The AMD card uses PCIe 5.0 x16 for its bus interface; the Intel part uses IGP. Release dates differ by about six weeks, with the AMD card released on December 16, 2025, and the Intel part on January 26, 2026. Neither product has a launch MSRP listed in the database.
