Intel Arc B390 vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a single benchmark entry for the Intel Arc B390, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark scores in the database, leaving direct head-to-head comparisons incomplete. However, the Arc B390's placement against its nearest rivals provides useful context.

The Arc B390 outperforms its closest competitors by narrow margins. Against the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, which averages 1463, the Arc B390 leads by 1.3 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M trails by 1.5 percent with an average score of 1460. The Arc B390 also sits ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM by 2.5 percent, that card averaging 1446, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 by 2.7 percent, which averages 1443. These deltas are small, indicating that the Arc B390 operates in the entry-level segment of the performance spectrum. Its percentile ranking of 9 among all GPUs reinforces that positioning, placing it below the vast majority of discrete graphics cards.

The Arc Pro B60 Dual's absence of benchmark data means no direct wins or losses can be assigned. The head-to-head comparison field is empty, and both win counters sit at zero. What can be stated from the database is the Arc Pro B60 Dual's percentile ranking of 50, which places it at the median of all GPUs, a dramatically higher standing than the Arc B390's 9th percentile. The Arc Pro B60 Dual also carries an average benchmark score of 0, reflecting the lack of recorded test results rather than actual performance. The data confirms the Arc B390 is competitive only within a very low-performance cohort, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual's theoretical positioning suggests it belongs to a far faster tier, though no measured numbers exist to quantify that gap.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent distinct architectural generations from Intel. The Arc B390 uses the Panther Lake chip built on the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip with the Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. These are different design families aimed at different usage contexts: the former is an integrated graphics processor, the latter a professional-grade discrete solution.

The manufacturing processes differ. The Arc B390 is fabricated on a 3 nm node at Intel. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is built on a 5 nm node at TSMC. Transistor counts are listed as unknown for the Arc B390, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1 million per square millimeter.

Core configurations diverge substantially. The Arc B390 has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 24 raster output pipelines, and 12 ray tracing cores. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 raster output pipelines, and 20 ray tracing cores. In every counted resource, the Arc Pro B60 Dual has more hardware, with shading units 1.67 times higher, TMUs 3.33 times higher, ROPs 3.33 times higher, and RT cores 1.67 times higher. Neither GPU lists tensor cores in the database.

Clock behavior reveals a different design philosophy. The Arc B390 runs at a base clock of 300 MHz and boosts to 2500 MHz, a wide dynamic range typical of integrated parts that idle low and scale up under load. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost of 2400 MHz, a narrow range suggesting sustained operation near maximum frequency. Memory architecture also differs fundamentally: the Arc B390 uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed on a 192-bit interface, delivering 456.0 GB/s.

Rasterization and compute throughput numbers reflect the hardware gap. The Arc B390 produces a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 7.680 TFLOPS and FP16 at 15.36 TFLOPS. The Arc Pro B60 Dual produces 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 at 12.29 TFLOPS and FP16 at 24.58 TFLOPS. The Pro card delivers 3.2 times the pixel throughput and 3.2 times the texture throughput, while FP32 performance is 1.6 times higher.

Form factor and power delivery are also architectural indicators. The Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor with no power connectors and a slot width listed as IGP. The Arc Pro B60 Dual is a dual-slot card measuring 300 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm, requiring a 16-pin power connector and a suggested 800 W power supply. The power draw figures are 80 W for the Arc B390 and 400 W for the Arc Pro B60 Dual, a 5 times difference that aligns with the discrete card's larger silicon and dedicated memory subsystem.

Specification Differences

The database records several fields where the two products differ. The process node is 3 nm for the Arc B390 and 5 nm for the Arc Pro B60 Dual. Foundry attribution also differs: Intel for the former, TSMC for the latter. Transistor count is unknown for the Arc B390 but 19,600 million for the Arc Pro B60 Dual, with a die size of 272 mm² and density of 72.1M per mm² only listed for the Pro card.

Clock specifications diverge across the board. Base clock is 300 MHz versus 2000 MHz, boost clock is 2500 MHz versus 2400 MHz, and memory clock is "System Shared" versus 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective.

Memory configuration shows the Arc B390 using system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual has 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. Shading units count 1536 versus 2560, TMUs 48 versus 160, ROPs 24 versus 80, and RT cores 12 versus 20.

Throughput figures differ in every category: pixel rate 60.00 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s, texture rate 120.0 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s, FP32 7.680 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS, and FP16 15.36 TFLOPS versus 24.58 TFLOPS.

Power characteristics are markedly different. The Arc B390 has a TDP of 80 W, IGP slot width, and no power connectors. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has a TDP of 400 W, dual-slot width, one 16-pin power connector, and a suggested 800 W PSU.

Bus interface and display outputs also differ. The Arc B390 uses an IGP bus interface and lists display outputs as portable device dependent. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8 and provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Dimensions are unlisted for the Arc B390 but specified as 300 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm for the Pro card. Release dates differ as well, with the Arc B390 dated 2026-01-26 and the Arc Pro B60 Dual dated 2025-09-04.

The Verdict

The data draws a clear line between two very different products. The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor in the Arc Graphics-M (Panther Lake) generation, using the Xe3-LPG architecture on a 3 nm Intel node. Its single benchmark score of 1482 places it at the 9th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all low-end NVIDIA parts from several generations ago. The Arc B390 leads those by margins between 1.3 and 2.7 percent, indicating it competes at the very bottom of the discrete GPU hierarchy.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is a professional discrete graphics card in the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation, using the Xe2-HPG architecture on a 5 nm TSMC node. It has no recorded benchmark scores, but its 50th percentile ranking situates it at the median of all GPUs, a far higher class than the Arc B390. The Pro card's hardware resources are consistently larger: more shading units, more texture units, more raster units, more ray tracing cores, and a dedicated 24 GB GDDR6 memory subsystem with 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth versus the Arc B390's system shared memory. Its FP32 compute of 12.29 TFLOPS exceeds the Arc B390's 7.680 TFLOPS by roughly 60 percent, and its pixel and texture rates are 3.2 times higher.

The Arc B390 suits systems where an integrated GPU is the only option, such as portable devices, given its IGP form factor, 80 W power draw, and dependance on shared system memory. The Arc Pro B60 Dual targets workstation or professional use, with its dual-slot cooler, PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and 400 W power envelope. The release dates place the B60 Dual earlier at 2025-09-04 and the B390 later at 2026-01-26, but the two are not direct competitors. The database indicates the Arc Pro B60 Dual should be selected when maximum compute resources and dedicated memory are required, while the Arc B390 exists for integrated environments where separate graphics hardware is not available.
