AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU versus the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The database shows zero wins for each part in direct comparison, and the average benchmark score for both is zero. This absence of direct measurement data means the analysis must rely on the architectural and specification fields available in the database.

Looking at the raw compute metrics, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, while the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU provides 1.638 TFLOPS. That is a 7.5x advantage for the Intel part in single-precision floating-point work. The FP16 figures follow the same pattern: 24.58 TFLOPS for Intel versus 3.277 TFLOPS for AMD, a 7.5x gap. These numbers indicate that for any workload that scales with shader throughput, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual will complete the work in a fraction of the time.

The texture and pixel rates reinforce this divide. The Intel part reaches 384.0 GTexel/s and 192.0 GPixel/s, whereas the AMD part manages 51.20 GTexel/s and 25.60 GPixel/s. The Intel card is 7.5x faster in texturing and 7.5x faster in pixel fill. Memory bandwidth tells a similar story: 456.0 GB/s for Intel versus 102.4 GB/s for AMD, a 4.5x difference. This bandwidth gap matters for large datasets, high-resolution textures, and compute kernels that stream data through memory.

The percentile ranking in the database places both parts at the 50th percentile among all GPUs. This field, however, is a relative position and does not reflect the magnitude of performance difference between the two. The AMD part sits at the median of the database population, and the Intel part also sits at the median, but the absolute performance metrics show they occupy very different performance classes.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses the Van Gogh chip built on RDNA 2.0 architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference gives Intel a density advantage: the Intel die packs 19,600 million transistors into 272 mm², yielding a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². The AMD chip contains 2,400 million transistors on a 163 mm² die, for a density of 14.7M per mm². The Intel chip has roughly 8.2x more transistors on a die that is only 1.7x larger.

The shader configuration diverges sharply. AMD uses 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output units. Intel uses 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. That is 5x the shading units, 5x the TMUs, and 5x the ROPs on the Intel side. The ray tracing hardware follows the same pattern: AMD has 8 RT cores, while Intel has 20 RT cores, a 2.5x difference.

Clock speeds also favor Intel. The AMD GPU runs at a 1000 MHz base and 1600 MHz boost. The Intel GPU runs at a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The Intel part boosts 50% higher than the AMD part boosts, and its base clock is double the AMD base clock. Memory clocks differ as well: AMD memory runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective, while Intel memory runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective.

The memory subsystems are built differently. AMD uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 128-bit bus. Intel uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. The bus width difference of 1.5x combines with the memory type and clock differences to produce the 4.5x bandwidth gap. The AMD part uses a USB Type-C display output, while the Intel part provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The Intel card also specifies a dual-slot form factor, a 16-pin power connector, an 800 W suggested PSU, and a PCIe 5.0 x8 bus interface. The AMD part lists none of these fields.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The API feature sets are identical, so software compatibility at the API level does not differentiate them.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in every measured compute and memory category. Its FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS versus 1.638 TFLOPS makes it the clear choice for general compute workloads, simulation, rendering, and any task that relies on shader math. The FP16 advantage of 24.58 TFLOPS versus 3.277 TFLOPS extends this lead to half-precision workloads, which are common in machine learning inference and certain graphics effects. The texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s versus 51.20 GTexel/s favors Intel for texture-heavy rendering, and the pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s versus 25.60 GPixel/s favors Intel for fill-limited scenes.

The memory bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s versus 102.4 GB/s gives Intel a decisive edge in bandwidth-bound applications. Large framebuffers, high-resolution textures, and data-intensive compute kernels will perform substantially better on the Intel part. The 24 GB memory capacity versus 16 GB also allows the Intel card to hold larger working sets without spilling to system memory.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU wins in power consumption. Its TDP is 15 W, while the Intel card is rated at 400 W. That is a 26.7x difference in thermal design power. The AMD part also has a smaller die at 163 mm² versus 272 mm², and simpler power requirements: it does not list a power connector or a suggested PSU rating. The Intel card requires a 16-pin connector and an 800 W suggested PSU. For a system where power draw and heat dissipation are the primary constraints, the AMD part is the only viable option.

The AMD part also wins on release timing, with a release date of 2024-12-31, while the Intel card arrived later on 2025-09-04. The AMD part uses a USB Type-C output, which may integrate more simply into certain compact or embedded designs, whereas the Intel card provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs for multi-monitor professional setups.

The Verdict

The database shows two products at opposite ends of the performance and power spectrum. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual dominates every compute metric: 7.5x FP32, 7.5x FP16, 7.5x texture rate, 7.5x pixel rate, and 4.5x memory bandwidth. It also has 2.5x the RT cores, 5x the shading units, and 1.5x the memory capacity. The 400 W TDP, 16-pin power connector, 800 W suggested PSU, dual-slot cooler, and 300 mm length indicate this is a full-size add-in card for a desktop workstation or server. The launch MSRP of 1,199 USD places it in the professional graphics tier. Its 24 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs suit multi-display and memory-hungry professional workloads.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU operates in a different class entirely. Its 15 W TDP, 163 mm² die, and single USB Type-C output suggest an integrated or embedded solution for compact, power-constrained systems. The 1.638 TFLOPS FP32 figure and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth are modest, but the power envelope is a fraction of the Intel card. The AMD part also arrived earlier, with a release date of 2024-12-31 versus 2025-09-04 for Intel.

The choice depends on the system context. For a workstation or professional rendering node where power delivery and cooling are not limiting factors, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is the only option that can handle high-throughput compute, large textures, and multi-display output. For a low-power embedded or console-class device where the 15 W TDP is the defining constraint, the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU is the appropriate part. The 50th percentile ranking for both parts in the database reflects their positions within the broader GPU population, but the direct specification comparison shows they are not competitors in the same performance tier. The data indicates that any workload that fits within the Intel card's power budget will see substantially higher throughput on that part, while any system that cannot supply 400 W and an 800 W PSU must use the AMD part.
