The Verdict

The data shows a clear split: the Intel Arc B570 is a fully benchmarked gaming-oriented card with recorded performance scores, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries in the database. For users who need validated performance data, the B570 is the only option with measurable results. Its average benchmark score of 20556 places it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% higher) and the Intel Arc A750 (0.1% lower).

The Arc Pro B60 Dual, despite lacking benchmark scores, delivers substantially more memory (24 GB vs. 10 GB), higher bandwidth (456.0 GB/s vs. 380.0 GB/s), and more compute units (2560 shading units vs. 2304). Its 400 W TDP and 800 W suggested PSU indicate a professional workstation orientation rather than a mainstream consumer product. The Pro card also uses PCIe 5.0 x8, while the B570 uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

For gaming or general consumer workloads where benchmark evidence matters, the Intel Arc B570 is the verified choice. For memory-intensive professional tasks requiring 24 GB of VRAM, the Arc Pro B60 Dual is the only card in this comparison that can address that requirement, though its performance remains unmeasured in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Arc B570 and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. However, the B570's individual benchmark results provide a performance profile that can be analyzed against its nearest rivals.

The Intel Arc B570's strongest recorded result is in Geekbench Vulkan, scoring 96844. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 83514. In Passmark tests, the B570 achieves a G3D score of 14195 and a GPU compute score of 7281. DirectX-specific Passmark scores include 164 for DirectX 9, 118 for DirectX 11, 72 for DirectX 12, and 65 for DirectX 10. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2649.

The nearest rival comparison shows the B570's average score of 20556 sits within 0.5% of four other GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534 (0.1% higher), the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582 (0.1% lower), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480 (0.4% higher), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662 (0.5% lower). This clustering indicates the B570 delivers performance in a tightly competitive band.

Since the Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries, no direct score comparisons can be made. The Pro card's theoretical advantages in shading units, memory capacity, and bandwidth cannot be quantified against the B570's measured results.

Specification Differences

The Intel Arc B570 and Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual share the same chip (BMG-G21), architecture (Xe2-HPG), process node (5 nm, TSMC foundry), transistor count (19,600 million), die size (272 mm²), and transistor density (72.1M / mm²). Both use GDDR6 memory at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) and have 80 ROPs.

Key differences appear in clock speeds: the B570 runs at 2500 MHz base and boost, while the Pro B60 Dual runs at 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The B570 has 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 18 RT cores, versus 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 20 RT cores on the Pro card.

Memory configuration differs significantly: the B570 has 10 GB on a 160-bit bus with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Pro B60 Dual has 24 GB on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. The B570 achieves a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, while the Pro card achieves 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s.

FP32 compute is 11.52 TFLOPS on the B570 versus 12.29 TFLOPS on the Pro card. FP16 is 23.04 TFLOPS on the B570 versus 24.58 TFLOPS on the Pro card. Power draw is 150 W for the B570 and 400 W for the Pro card, with corresponding PSU recommendations of 450 W and 800 W.

The B570 uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while the Pro B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs differ: the B570 has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Pro card has 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1. Physical dimensions vary: the B570 is 272 mm long and 115 mm tall, while the Pro card is 300 mm long, 110 mm tall, and 40 mm wide.

Release dates differ: the B570 launched on 2025-01-15, and the Pro B60 Dual launched on 2025-09-04. The B570 has a predecessor (Alchemist) and a launch MSRP of 219 USD. The Pro B60 Dual has no predecessor listed and a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD.

Architecture Differences

Both cards use the same Xe2-HPG architecture on the BMG-G21 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. The transistor count of 19,600 million and die size of 272 mm² are identical. The architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 on both cards.

The architectural differences lie in the execution resources. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual scales up with 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 20 RT cores, compared to 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 18 RT cores on the Intel Arc B570. This represents an 11.1% increase in shading units and TMUs, and an 11.1% increase in RT cores.

The memory architecture also differs. The B570 uses a 160-bit memory bus, while the Pro B60 Dual uses a 192-bit bus. This wider bus, combined with the same 19 Gbps effective memory speed, yields 456.0 GB/s bandwidth on the Pro card versus 380.0 GB/s on the B570, a 20% bandwidth advantage.

Clock behavior reflects different design priorities. The B570 maintains a constant 2500 MHz clock, while the Pro card has a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The B570's higher clocks produce a higher pixel rate (200.0 GPixel/s vs. 192.0 GPixel/s), but the Pro card's additional TMUs deliver a higher texture rate (384.0 GTexel/s vs. 360.0 GTexel/s).

The Pro B60 Dual's 400 W TDP and 16-pin power connector indicate a different power delivery architecture compared to the B570's 150 W TDP and 8-pin connector. The PCIe 5.0 x8 interface on the Pro card doubles the per-lane bandwidth available compared to the B570's PCIe 4.0 x8.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B570 wins in clock speed, with a 2500 MHz boost versus 2400 MHz on the Pro B60 Dual. It also achieves a higher pixel rate at 200.0 GPixel/s compared to 192.0 GPixel/s. The B570 has a lower power requirement at 150 W TDP versus 400 W, and a smaller physical footprint at 272 mm length versus 300 mm. The B570 is the only card with recorded benchmark scores, with an average of 20556 and a 65th percentile ranking. Its nearest rival comparison shows it performs within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile and Intel Arc A750. The B570 offers HDMI 2.1a output, which the Pro card lacks. Its launch MSRP of 219 USD is also recorded, while the Pro card's is 1,199 USD.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in raw resource counts: 2560 shading units versus 2304, 160 TMUs versus 144, and 20 RT cores versus 18. It delivers 24 GB of memory versus 10 GB, with a 192-bit bus versus 160-bit, and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 380.0 GB/s. The Pro card achieves higher texture rate (384.0 GTexel/s vs. 360.0 GTexel/s) and higher FP32 compute (12.29 TFLOPS vs. 11.52 TFLOPS). It uses PCIe 5.0 x8 versus PCIe 4.0 x8, and provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs versus the B570's three DisplayPort 2.1 and one HDMI. The Pro card has a wider physical profile at 40 mm width, suggesting a larger cooler. It launched later on 2025-09-04 compared to the B570's 2025-01-15.

The use-case split follows the specification differences. The B570 suits scenarios requiring validated performance data, lower power draw, and smaller physical size. The Pro B60 Dual suits memory-intensive workloads needing 24 GB capacity and higher bandwidth, along with applications that benefit from additional shading units and ray tracing cores. The Pro card's professional display outputs (four mini-DisplayPort) and PCIe 5.0 interface point toward workstation integration, while the B570's combination of HDMI and DisplayPort outputs targets consumer displays.
