Analysis: AMD Radeon RX 9070 vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The Intel card has no benchmark entries in the database, with an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearest rivals listed. The AMD card, by contrast, has a full set of measured scores across multiple test suites.
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6290. In Geekbench, it records 131539 in OpenCL and 58705 in Vulkan. Passmark results show a G3D score of 25381, a GPU compute score of 14737, and legacy DirectX scores of 343 in DirectX 9, 281 in DirectX 11, 141 in DirectX 10, and 74 in DirectX 12. The Passmark G2D score is 1280.
The average benchmark score for the AMD card is 23877, placing it at the 69th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z with an average score of 23736 and a delta of 0.6 percent, the AMD Radeon RX 6800S at 24063 with a delta of -0.8 percent, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile at 23628 with a delta of 1.1 percent, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER at 24170 with a delta of -1.2 percent. These deltas are small, indicating the RX 9070 sits in a tightly packed performance cluster where a 1.1 percent advantage over the RTX 3080 Mobile and a 1.2 percent deficit to the RTX 2080 SUPER represent the full spread.
Without any measured scores for the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, the database cannot quantify its performance relative to the RX 9070. The Intel card holds the 50th percentile rank among all GPUs, but this figure is based on its inclusion in the database, not on any recorded benchmark output. The absence of data means no direct comparison of frame rates, compute throughput, or graphics scores is possible from the available records.
Architecture Differences
The two cards use fundamentally different GPU designs. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 48 chip, part of the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 151.0 million transistors per square millimeter.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the Xe2-HPG architecture with the BMG-G21 chip, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 72.1 million transistors per square millimeter. The AMD chip packs more than 2.7 times the transistor count on a die that is only about 31 percent larger, which explains the substantially higher density figure.
The RX 9070 has 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 128 raster output units. It carries 56 ray tracing cores. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with 20 ray tracing cores. In every compute resource category, the AMD card holds a numerical advantage: 40 percent more shading units, 40 percent more TMUs, 60 percent more ROPs, and 2.8 times the ray tracing cores.
Clock behavior differs significantly. The RX 9070 has a base clock of 1330 MHz, a boost clock of 2520 MHz, and a game clock of 2070 MHz. The Arc Pro B60 Dual starts at a higher 2000 MHz base but boosts to only 2400 MHz, with no game clock listed. The AMD card's boost clock exceeds Intel's by 120 MHz despite the lower base, indicating a wider dynamic range.
The AMD card delivers 36.13 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 36.13 TFLOPS of FP16 (at a 1:1 ratio). The Intel card provides 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 (at a 2:1 ratio). The RX 9070 produces nearly three times the FP32 throughput. Pixel rate stands at 322.6 GPixel/s for AMD versus 192.0 GPixel/s for Intel, and texture rate is 564.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. The AMD card leads in both.
Memory architecture also diverges. The RX 9070 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus with 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth and memory clocked at 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective). The Arc Pro B60 Dual offers 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth and memory at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The AMD card has 41 percent more bandwidth, while the Intel card has 50 percent more capacity.
Power delivery differs sharply. The RX 9070 has a 220 W TDP, uses dual 8-pin power connectors, and suggests a 550 W power supply. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a 400 W TDP, uses a single 16-pin connector, and suggests an 800 W power supply. The Intel card draws 82 percent more power.

The Verdict
The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and no benchmark data for the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The RX 9070 sits at the 69th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 23877, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual holds only the 50th percentile with no recorded scores. This means any performance-based selection between the two must rely entirely on the AMD card's measured results and the architectural specifications of both.
The RX 9070 leads in every raw performance metric recorded: FP32 compute, pixel rate, texture rate, shading units, ray tracing cores, memory bandwidth, and boost clock. It also requires substantially less power, with a 220 W TDP versus 400 W, and a suggested PSU of 550 W versus 800 W. The Arc Pro B60 Dual counters with 24 GB of memory versus 16 GB, a higher base clock, and a longer physical footprint with specified dimensions.
For general graphics work, gaming, and compute tasks that rely on FP32 throughput, the recorded data points decisively to the RX 9070. Its measured scores place it among established GPUs like the RTX 2080 SUPER and RTX 3080 Mobile, and its architectural advantages over the Intel card are large in every compute category. The Intel card's 24 GB frame buffer may benefit workloads with very large memory footprints, but the database provides no benchmark confirmation of its performance in such scenarios.
Where Each One Wins
AMD Radeon RX 9070 wins in: FP32 compute (36.13 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS), pixel fill rate (322.6 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s), texture fill rate (564.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s), ray tracing core count (56 versus 20), memory bandwidth (644.6 GB/s versus 456.0 GB/s), boost clock (2520 MHz versus 2400 MHz), shading unit count (3584 versus 2560), TMU count (224 versus 160), ROP count (128 versus 80), transistor density (151.0M / mm² versus 72.1M / mm²), and power efficiency (220 W TDP versus 400 W TDP). It also has the only measured benchmark scores in the comparison.
Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in: memory capacity (24 GB versus 16 GB), base clock (2000 MHz versus 1330 MHz), transistor efficiency is not a win but the smaller die (272 mm² versus 357 mm²) means less silicon area, FP16 throughput in raw terms is lower but the 2:1 ratio indicates a different compute path (24.58 TFLOPS versus 36.13 TFLOPS), PCIe 5.0 x8 interface uses fewer lanes, four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs versus one HDMI and three DisplayPort, and it has specified physical dimensions (300 mm length, 110 mm height, 40 mm width) while the AMD card has none listed.
The Intel card also launched later, on 2025-09-04 versus 2025-03-05, and carries a higher launch MSRP of 1,199 USD versus 549 USD.
The data shows a clear split: the RX 9070 dominates performance metrics and efficiency, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual offers more memory and a different display output configuration. For workloads that fit within 16 GB of VRAM, the RX 9070 is the stronger option on every measured and computed specification. For workloads that require more than 16 GB of memory, the Arc Pro B60 Dual provides that capacity, but without recorded benchmark data to validate its execution speed.
