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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data in the database shows a single benchmark result for the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries. The AMD part scores 516 points in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 1st percentile of all GPUs. That score sits within a narrow band of older discrete graphics parts: it trails the Intel HD Graphics P4000 by 3.4% (534 points) and the AMD Radeon HD 6870 by 3.7% (536 points), while leading the AMD Radeon HD 6750M by 6.6% (484 points). The AMD Radeon HD 6770M is 9.3% ahead at 569 points.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so direct performance comparisons cannot be made from measured results. Its percentile rank of 50 indicates it sits at the median of all GPUs in the database, a considerably higher standing than the AMD part's 1st percentile. The average benchmark score for the Intel card is listed as 0, which reflects the absence of recorded test data rather than a performance result.

Because the head-to-head benchmark table is empty, the numerical comparison relies on the single AMD score and the Intel card's percentile placement. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU's 516-point result is characteristic of entry-level integrated graphics performance, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual's median percentile suggests it occupies a fundamentally different performance tier. The database records no overlapping test results, so exact deltas between the two cards cannot be computed.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear split. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU is a 28 W part with a 4 nm process node and a 233 mm² die, built for compact or power-limited systems. Its 516-point Steel Nomad score and 1st percentile ranking place it among legacy discrete GPUs from over a decade ago. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, by contrast, is a 400 W dual-slot card with a 272 mm² die on a 5 nm node, a 24 GB frame buffer, and a 50th percentile ranking. It targets workstation-class workloads with professional display outputs and a 16-pin power connector.

For users whose priority is low power draw and integration into small form factor systems, the AMD part is the only sensible choice from the recorded data. Its 28 W TDP, lack of external power connectors, and single USB Type-C output indicate a design for handheld or embedded use. The Intel card requires an 800 W suggested PSU and a PCIe 5.0 x8 slot, which rules out most compact builds.

For users who need memory capacity, bandwidth, or output flexibility, the Intel card dominates on paper. It offers 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192 bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, compared to 16 GB of LPDDR5X on a 128 bit bus with 128.0 GB/s bandwidth. It also provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs versus a single USB Type-C. The architecture differences in shading units, texture units, and ray tracing cores all favor Intel substantially.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme GPU wins in power efficiency and physical integration. Its 28 W TDP is dramatically lower than the Intel card's 400 W TDP. It requires no external power connector, while the Intel card needs a single 16-pin connector. The AMD part's 4 nm process node from TSMC gives it a higher transistor density of 145.9M per mm², compared to 72.1M per mm² for the Intel part, despite the AMD chip carrying 34,000 million transistors versus 19,600 million. The AMD card also uses LPDDR5X memory, which is suited to low-power designs.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in raw compute and memory throughput. Its FP32 performance is 12.29 TFLOPS, more than double the AMD part's 5.530 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance is 24.58 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the AMD part delivers 5.530 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel card's pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s dwarf the AMD part's 129.6 GPixel/s and 172.8 GTexel/s. The Intel card also has 20 ray tracing cores to the AMD part's 16, and it supports a much larger memory pool.

The Intel card wins on output capabilities. It provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connectors, enabling multi-monitor professional setups, while the AMD part provides a single USB Type-C output. The Intel card is a dual-slot design measuring 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, indicating a full-size add-in board. The AMD part has no recorded dimensions, slot width, or bus interface, consistent with an integrated or embedded GPU.
