AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has recorded benchmark scores across multiple test suites, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This absence of data for the Intel card means direct numeric comparisons cannot be established from the recorded measurements.

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT posts an average benchmark score of 13,543 across its ten recorded tests. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7,260 represents the highest single-test result in its profile. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 65,879 is substantially higher than the OpenCL result of 17,428, indicating a strong graphics API path. The PassMark G3D score of 26,795 dwarfs the DirectX 10, 11, and 12 individual results of 154, 292, and 78 respectively, as well as the DirectX 9 score of 353. The PassMark GPU Compute score reaches 15,864, while the G2D score sits at 1,328.

The database places the RX 9070 XT at the 55th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest recorded rivals in average score are the AMD Radeon HD 7770M at 13,536 (a 0.1% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 at 13,515 (0.2% delta), the NVIDIA P106-090 at 13,470 (0.5% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro 555 at 13,407 (1% delta). These deltas are all within one percentage point, meaning the RX 9070 XT's average score is statistically close to those older or lower-tier cards despite its far higher peak scores.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual carries an average benchmark score of zero and a 50th percentile placement. With no recorded test results, the database cannot substantiate any performance advantage for the Intel card in head-to-head terms. The only quantitative conclusion available is that the RX 9070 XT has a measurable benchmark profile, whereas the Arc Pro B60 Dual does not.

Architecture Differences

The two cards diverge at nearly every architectural level. The RX 9070 XT uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, 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, yielding a transistor density of 151.0 million per mm². The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip based on Xe2-HPG architecture from the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. It is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, for a density of 72.1 million per mm².

The AMD card features 4,096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units. It carries 64 RT cores dedicated to ray tracing. The Intel card has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 RT cores. Neither card lists tensor cores in the database.

Clock behavior also differs. The RX 9070 XT has a base clock of 1660 MHz, a boost clock of 2970 MHz, and a game clock of 2400 MHz. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz with no game clock listed. Memory clocks show 2518 MHz for the AMD card (20.1 Gbps effective) against 2375 MHz for the Intel card (19 Gbps effective).

The memory subsystem is a major differentiation point. The RX 9070 XT uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD card has more bandwidth, while the Intel card has more capacity.

Throughput figures confirm the AMD card's raw compute advantage. The RX 9070 XT delivers 48.66 TFLOPS FP32 and the same 48.66 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. Pixel rates are 380.2 GPixel/s for the AMD card versus 192.0 GPixel/s for the Intel card. Texture rates are 760.3 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s.

Power and interface specs also separate the two. The RX 9070 XT is rated at 304 W TDP with a suggested 700 W PSU, using dual 8-pin power connectors. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is rated at 400 W TDP with a suggested 800 W PSU, using a single 16-pin connector. Both are dual-slot cards. The AMD card uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs differ as well: the RX 9070 XT has one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort 2.1a ports, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual has four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Where Each One Wins

Based on recorded data, the RX 9070 XT wins in every measurable performance category. Its FP32 compute of 48.66 TFLOPS is four times the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its FP16 output of 48.66 TFLOPS is roughly double the Intel card's 24.58 TFLOPS. The AMD card's 644.6 GB/s memory bandwidth exceeds the Intel card's 456.0 GB/s by a wide margin. Its 380.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 760.3 GTexel/s texture rate both more than double the Intel figures of 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has advantages in specific configuration areas rather than raw speed. It offers 24 GB of memory versus 16 GB, a difference that matters for workloads requiring large datasets resident in VRAM. Its base clock of 2000 MHz is higher than the AMD card's 1660 MHz, though the AMD boost clock of 2970 MHz far exceeds the Intel boost of 2400 MHz. The Intel card's four mini-DisplayPort outputs may suit multi-display professional setups, while the AMD card offers HDMI alongside DisplayPort.

In ray tracing resources, the RX 9070 XT carries 64 RT cores against 20 for the Intel card. The shader, TMU, and ROP counts all favor AMD by approximately 1.6 to 1.6 to 1.6 respectively, reflecting the larger chip.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT outperforms the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual in every compute metric available: FP32, FP16, pixel rate, texture rate, memory bandwidth, and ray tracing core count. Its benchmark profile, including a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7,260 and a PassMark G3D score of 26,795, provides concrete evidence of strong graphics capability. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmarks, so the database cannot confirm any performance level for it.

The Intel card's case rests on three differentiators. Its 24 GB memory capacity is 50% larger than the AMD card's 16 GB. Its four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs exceed the AMD card's three DisplayPort and one HDMI arrangement for multi-display configurations. Its launch MSRP of 1,199 USD is double the AMD card's 599 USD launch MSRP, which positions it as a higher-priced product despite lower measured specifications.

The RX 9070 XT's 55th percentile placement versus the Intel card's 50th percentile placement, combined with the AMD card's transistor density of 151.0M per mm² against 72.1M per mm², indicates a more advanced implementation on a smaller process node. The AMD card also draws less power at 304 W versus 400 W, and it uses a wider PCIe 5.0 x16 interface versus the Intel card's x8.

For users prioritizing raw compute, memory bandwidth, and ray tracing resources, the RX 9070 XT is the only card with recorded evidence of those capabilities. For users who need more than 16 GB of VRAM or require four mini-DisplayPort outputs, the Arc Pro B60 Dual offers those specific features, but without benchmark data to substantiate its performance. The database supports choosing the RX 9070 XT for measured performance, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual remains a configuration option for memory capacity and display output flexibility.
