Intel Arc G3 Extreme vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc G3 Extreme and the Intel Arc Pro B60. However, the recorded data for the Arc Pro B60 provides a clear picture of its measured performance, while the Arc G3 Extreme has no benchmark scores listed. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible, but the available data allows for a meaningful analysis of what each part delivers.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 shows a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646. In PassMark testing, it records 61 in DirectX 10, 122 in DirectX 11, 76 in DirectX 12, and 179 in DirectX 9. Its PassMark G3D score is 14580, with a GPU compute score of 7029 and a G2D score of 763. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 3182. The Arc G3 Extreme carries no benchmark entries, so its performance profile rests entirely on its architectural specifications rather than measured results.

The Arc Pro B60 sits at the 20th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in average score include the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 at 3163, which is 0.6% ahead, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER at 3075, which the Arc Pro B60 leads by 3.5%. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 scores 3210, putting the Arc Pro B60 0.9% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce 920M scores 3287, which is 3.2% ahead of the Arc Pro B60. These deltas are small, indicating the Arc Pro B60 clusters tightly with these older or lower-tier parts in aggregate performance.

The Arc G3 Extreme has a percentile rank of 50, which places it mid-pack among all GPUs, but without benchmark scores, this percentile cannot be cross-checked against actual test results. The data shows a part that is architecturally modern but unmeasured in the database. The Arc Pro B60, by contrast, has concrete numbers that place it in the lower half of the performance distribution.

The Verdict

The data points to two very different products. The Intel Arc G3 Extreme is an integrated graphics processor with a 50th percentile rank, built for portable devices, using system-shared memory and drawing 80 W. The Intel Arc Pro B60 is a discrete dual-slot card with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 200 W power draw, and a 20th percentile rank. The recorded benchmark scores for the Arc Pro B60 confirm it operates at a level comparable to older discrete GPUs, with its nearest rival deltas all within 3.5% of its average score.

The Arc G3 Extreme has no measured scores, so the database cannot confirm its real-world performance. Its specifications indicate a part aimed at integrated use, with a boost clock of 2500 MHz and 1536 shading units. The Arc Pro B60 has 2560 shading units, a boost clock of 2400 MHz, and a 192-bit memory bus delivering 456.0 GB/s. These are substantial specification differences, but the absence of Arc G3 Extreme benchmarks means any performance verdict must rely on the architectural and specification data rather than direct comparisons.

Who should pick which depends on the use case. The Arc Pro B60 is a discrete card with a launch MSRP of 499 USD, a 550 W suggested PSU, and four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. It is built as a standalone add-in board. The Arc G3 Extreme is an IGP with no power connectors and no slot width, designed to be part of a portable device. The recorded data shows the Arc Pro B60 is a measurable, benchmarked product, while the Arc G3 Extreme remains unverified in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc Pro B60 wins in every category where measured data exists. Its 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 throughput exceed the Arc G3 Extreme's 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 and 15.36 TFLOPS FP16 figures. The Arc Pro B60 also delivers a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s, compared to 60.00 GPixel/s and 120.0 GTexel/s for the Arc G3 Extreme. These are clear numerical advantages for the discrete card.

The Arc Pro B60 has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The Arc G3 Extreme has 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. In every one of these counts, the Arc Pro B60 is ahead. Memory is another major split: the Arc Pro B60 has 24 GB of dedicated GDDR6 with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc G3 Extreme relies on system-shared memory with bandwidth that is system dependent.

The Arc G3 Extreme wins in power efficiency and integration. It draws 80 W compared to 200 W for the Arc Pro B60. It is an IGP with no power connectors and no slot width, making it suitable for portable devices where a discrete card cannot fit. The Arc Pro B60 requires a dual-slot footprint, a single 8-pin power connector, and a 550 W suggested PSU. The Arc G3 Extreme uses a 3 nm process node with Intel as the foundry, while the Arc Pro B60 uses a 5 nm node from TSMC.

The Arc G3 Extreme also holds a higher percentile rank at 50 compared to 20 for the Arc Pro B60, though this rank is not backed by any recorded benchmark scores. The Arc G3 Extreme has a higher boost clock at 2500 MHz versus 2400 MHz for the Arc Pro B60, and a lower base clock at 300 MHz versus 2000 MHz. These clock differences reflect their different roles: an IGP with a wide boost range versus a discrete card with a steady base clock.
