AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries comparing the AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU and the Intel Arc Pro B60. What the recorded data does provide is a complete benchmark profile for the Intel Arc Pro B60 and a percentile ranking for the AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU, which places it at the 50th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc Pro B60 sits at the 20th percentile, which indicates that the AMD part occupies a higher overall position in the distribution of recorded performance.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646. Its PassMark G3D score reaches 14580, while the PassMark GPU Compute score is 7029. The DirectX 11 PassMark result is 122, DirectX 12 is 76, DirectX 10 is 61, and DirectX 9 is 179. The 2D PassMark score is 763. The average benchmark score for the Intel card is 3182.

Since the AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU has no individual benchmark scores in the database, its average benchmark score is recorded as 0. This makes a direct numeric comparison impossible. However, the percentile data places the AMD part at 50, meaning it sits above the midpoint of all recorded GPUs, while the Intel part at 20 sits below that midpoint. The Intel Arc Pro B60's nearest rivals in the database further illustrate its standing. The NVIDIA Quadro P1000 is 0.6% ahead of it with an average score of 3163. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 is 0.9% behind it with an average score of 3210. The NVIDIA GeForce 920M trails by 3.2% with an average of 3287. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER leads the Intel card by 3.5% with an average score of 3075.

The data confirms that the Intel Arc Pro B60 is clustered tightly with these rival GPUs, with all deltas within a 3.5% band. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU, by contrast, has no comparable rival list in the database, so its relative position can only be inferred from the percentile figure. That percentile difference, 50 versus 20, is the clearest performance separation available in the recorded data.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU uses the Hawk Point chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 4 nm process. The Intel Arc Pro B60 uses the BMG-G21 chip built on Xe2-HPG architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 5 nm process. The AMD chip packs 25,390 million transistors into a 178 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 142.6 million per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a density of 72.1 million per mm². The AMD part is therefore the denser design, while the Intel part uses a larger die with fewer transistors per area.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5X on a 128 bit bus, with memory clocked at 937 MHz and 7.5 Gbps effective, yielding 119.9 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Arc Pro B60 uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192 bit bus, with memory at 2375 MHz and 19 Gbps effective, delivering 456.0 GB/s. The Intel card has 3.8 times the memory bandwidth of the AMD part, a decisive architectural advantage for bandwidth-heavy workloads.

The compute units also differ substantially. The AMD GPU has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. The Intel GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The Intel card has more than three times the shading units and more than three times the TMUs, while its ROP count is 2.5 times higher. Pixel rate for the Intel card is 192.0 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s for the AMD part. Texture rate is 384.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 12.29 TFLOPS for Intel and 8.294 TFLOPS for AMD. FP16 throughput differs in ratio as well: the AMD part runs FP16 at 8.294 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, while the Intel card reaches 24.58 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

Power delivery is another major split. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU has a 28 W TDP and requires no power connectors. The Intel Arc Pro B60 has a 200 W TDP, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and carries a suggested PSU rating of 550 W. The Intel card is a dual-slot design measuring 167 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The AMD part has no recorded dimensions or slot width. The Intel card uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 bus interface, while the AMD part has no bus interface recorded. Display outputs also differ: the AMD GPU provides a single USB Type-C output, while the Intel card provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both are listed as Active in production status. The AMD part was released on December 31, 2024, while the Intel part was released on September 4, 2025.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B60 wins decisively on raw compute metrics. Its FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS exceeds the AMD part's 8.294 TFLOPS by a large margin. Its FP16 output of 24.58 TFLOPS is nearly three times the AMD figure. Texture rate, pixel rate, and memory bandwidth all favor the Intel card, and those metrics translate directly to workloads that saturate texture units, fill rate, or memory. The 24 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth is a professional-grade memory subsystem, suited for large datasets, high-resolution textures, and compute tasks that need capacity and throughput. The four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs give the Intel card a clear advantage in multi-display professional setups.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU wins on efficiency and physical footprint. Its 28 W TDP is dramatically lower than the Intel card's 200 W, and it requires no power connectors at all. That makes it viable in compact, low-power systems where the Intel card would need a 550 W PSU recommendation and a dual-slot chassis. The AMD part uses the smaller 178 mm² die despite having more transistors, which reflects its denser 4 nm process. Its 50th percentile ranking in the database places it above the Intel card's 20th percentile, indicating that in the overall distribution of GPU performance, the AMD part sits higher despite its lower peak compute numbers.

The use-case split is clear. The Intel Arc Pro B60 is built for sustained, bandwidth-hungry professional workloads where its 24 GB memory, 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, and higher TFLOPS matter more than power draw. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU is built for constrained, low-power environments where its 28 W envelope and compact design are the primary considerations, and where its higher percentile ranking suggests competitive real-world performance within its class.

The Verdict

The data describes two GPUs with opposite design priorities. The Intel Arc Pro B60 is the higher-performing part in raw specifications: more shading units, more ray tracing cores, more memory, more bandwidth, and higher TFLOPS across the board. Its 24 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth place it in a different class for memory-intensive tasks. Its four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and PCIe 5.0 x8 interface support professional multi-display and high-throughput workflows. The recorded benchmarks confirm it is a functional, active product with a measured average score of 3182.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU is the efficiency-focused part. A 28 W TDP with no power connectors makes it suitable for systems where the Intel card's 200 W draw and 550 W PSU recommendation would be impractical. Its 4 nm process and denser transistor layout, 142.6M per mm² versus 72.1M per mm², show a design aimed at packing capability into a small power envelope. Its 50th percentile ranking against all GPUs is higher than the Intel card's 20th percentile, which suggests that within its intended class, the AMD part holds a stronger relative position.

The choice between them depends entirely on the workload and system constraints. The Intel Arc Pro B60 is the pick for professional rendering, compute, and multi-display environments where memory bandwidth, frame buffer size, and raw throughput are the limiting factors. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU is the pick for low-power, compact builds where the 28 W envelope and lack of power connectors are decisive, and where the higher percentile ranking indicates competitive performance relative to the broader GPU landscape. The Intel card carries a launch MSRP of 499 USD. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. Neither product has a recorded predecessor or successor in the database.
