The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two cards into different roles. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is positioned by its benchmark percentile at 89, with measured scores in OpenCL and Vulkan. The Intel Arc Pro B65 has no measured scores, placing it at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0.

The AMD card's compute advantage is substantial. At 24.99 TFLOPS FP32, it delivers more than double the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its boost clock reaches 3050 MHz, far above the Intel card's fixed 2400 MHz. The AMD card also uses less power at 140 W versus 200 W, and requires a smaller suggested PSU at 300 W versus 550 W.

The Intel card's advantages lie in memory capacity and bandwidth. At 32 GB and 608.0 GB/s, it offers twice the capacity and roughly 89% more bandwidth than the AMD card's 16 GB and 322.3 GB/s. It also has more shading units (2,560 versus 2,048), more TMUs (160 versus 128), and more ROPs (80 versus 64), though its ray tracing core count is lower at 20 versus 32.

The data suggests the AMD card is the stronger choice for compute-heavy workloads that favor FP32 throughput and higher clock speeds. The Intel card is the stronger choice for memory-intensive workloads that require large capacity and high bandwidth, such as large dataset processing or multi-display configurations with its 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Where Each One Wins

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins on raw compute. Its 24.99 TFLOPS FP32 rating is roughly double the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its FP16 output of 24.99 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio matches its FP32 output, while the Intel card achieves 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 only through a 2:1 ratio. The AMD card's boost clock of 3050 MHz is 650 MHz higher than the Intel card's fixed 2400 MHz boost.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins on efficiency. The recorded TDP is 140 W for AMD versus 200 W for Intel. The suggested PSU is 300 W for AMD versus 550 W for Intel. The AMD card also uses a denser 4 nm process with 149.2M transistors per mm², compared to the Intel card's 72.1M per mm² on 5 nm.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP wins on ray tracing core count. The recorded data shows 32 ray tracing cores for AMD versus 20 for Intel.

Intel Arc Pro B65 wins on memory capacity. At 32 GB, it offers twice the 16 GB of the AMD card. This is the largest single specification gap between the two cards.

Intel Arc Pro B65 wins on memory bandwidth. At 608.0 GB/s, it delivers roughly 89% more bandwidth than the AMD card's 322.3 GB/s, supported by a 256-bit bus versus 128-bit.

Intel Arc Pro B65 wins on display outputs. The 4x DisplayPort 2.1 configuration exceeds the AMD card's 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a.

Intel Arc Pro B65 wins on raw shader resources. With 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, it outnumbers the AMD card's 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, though its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s are slightly lower than the AMD card's 195.2 GPixel/s and 390.4 GTexel/s.

The AMD card also has the advantage of measured performance data. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,183 and Vulkan score of 39,476 are recorded, while the Intel card has none. The AMD card's 89th percentile standing among all GPUs provides a reference point that the Intel card's 50th percentile, with no scores, cannot match.
