Intel Arc Graphics 24EU vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a single benchmark result for the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, with a score of 733. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, making a direct numerical comparison impossible. The Arc Graphics 24EU sits at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual is at the 50th percentile, indicating a substantial gap in expected performance based on their respective positions in the database distribution.

The Arc Graphics 24EU’s score of 733 places it exactly level with the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, both of which also record an average score of 733, a 0 percent difference. Against the AMD Radeon HD 6470M, the 24EU is 1.4 percent ahead, with that rival scoring 723. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M posts 751, putting the 24EU 2.4 percent behind. These deltas are narrow, confirming that the integrated graphics solution operates in a performance tier comparable to entry-level discrete GPUs from over a decade ago.

The Arc Pro B60 Dual, by contrast, has no nearest rivals listed and no average benchmark score, so the database provides no direct evidence of its computational output. Its percentile placement at 50 suggests it lands in the middle of the global GPU distribution, but without a recorded score, the data cannot quantify how far it pulls ahead of the 24EU in any specific test.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split in purpose. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is an integrated graphics processor within the Arrow Lake-S chip, built for systems where a separate graphics card is not required. Its benchmark score of 733 and 3rd percentile ranking indicate it handles only the lightest graphical workloads, those typical of basic desktop use or legacy applications. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is a dedicated, dual-slot add-in card with a 24 GB GDDR6 memory pool, a 192-bit bus, and 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications, combined with its 50th percentile standing, place it far above the integrated part in the database’s hierarchy.

Users who rely on the integrated graphics of an Arrow Lake-S processor will find the 24EU adequate only for tasks that do not stress the GPU. The data shows no head-to-head benchmark entries, so any assertion of a specific performance ratio would be unsupported. What the data does show is a massive divergence in core resources: the 24EU has 192 shading units, 12 texture mapping units, and 6 render output units, while the B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The B60 Dual also carries 20 ray tracing cores, a feature entirely absent from the 24EU’s specification sheet.

The B60 Dual is the only choice for any workload requiring dedicated memory, high throughput, or ray tracing. Its 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 24.58 TFLOPS of FP16 compute dwarf the 24EU’s 768.0 GFLOPS and 1.536 TFLOPS respectively. The pixel rate of the B60 Dual is 192.0 GPixel/s against 12.00 GPixel/s for the 24EU, and the texture rate is 384.0 GTexel/s versus 24.00 GTexel/s. These are order-of-magnitude differences that the benchmark data, though sparse, corroborates through the percentile gap.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs diverge across nearly every measurable specification. The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip with the Xe-LPG architecture, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip with the Xe2-HPG architecture. The 24EU is an integrated processor (IGP) with a slot width of IGP, whereas the B60 Dual is a dual-slot card measuring 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The B60 Dual connects via PCIe 5.0 x8; the 24EU uses a Ring Bus interface.

Clock speeds differ significantly. The 24EU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The B60 Dual has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Memory clocks are not directly comparable, as the 24EU uses system shared memory, while the B60 Dual has dedicated GDDR6 at 2375 MHz.

The core counts show a 13.3x difference in shading units: 192 on the 24EU versus 2560 on the B60 Dual. Texture mapping units number 12 versus 160, and render output units number 6 versus 80. The B60 Dual adds 20 ray tracing cores, which the 24EU lacks entirely. Pixel rate is 12.00 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 24.00 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 768.0 GFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS, and FP16 compute is 1.536 TFLOPS versus 24.58 TFLOPS.

The TDP is 65 W for the 24EU and 400 W for the B60 Dual. The B60 Dual requires an 800 W suggested power supply and uses a 1x 16-pin power connector; the 24EU has no power connectors listed. The B60 Dual offers 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the 24EU’s outputs are motherboard dependent. The launch MSRP of the B60 Dual is 1,199 USD; the 24EU has no launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU is based on the Xe-LPG architecture, which is a low-power graphics architecture designed for integration into the Arrow Lake-S processor. It is manufactured on a 3 nm TSMC process with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 73.3M per mm². The architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, but it does not include dedicated ray tracing cores.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the Xe2-HPG architecture, a high-performance graphics architecture for discrete cards. It is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². This architecture also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and it includes 20 ray tracing cores. The B60 Dual is part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation, while the 24EU belongs to the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation.

The memory architecture differs fundamentally. The 24EU uses system shared memory with a bus width and bandwidth that are system dependent. The B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with a fixed bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. The B60 Dual’s memory operates at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective), providing deterministic bandwidth for compute-heavy tasks.

The 24EU has no tensor cores or ray tracing cores listed, and its FP16 performance is delivered at a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32, indicating a co-located execution path. The B60 Dual also lists FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, but its absolute throughput is 16x higher, enabling substantially larger FP16 workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 24EU wins in scenarios where a discrete GPU is unnecessary. Its 65 W TDP and integrated design mean it consumes no additional slot space and requires no power connectors. Systems using the Arrow Lake-S chip with this IGP can handle basic 2D rendering, video playback, and legacy DirectX 11-era applications, as evidenced by its 733 score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, which places it at the 3rd percentile. Its performance parity with the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU and 64EU at 733 suggests that within the integrated lineup, the 24EU is not a performance outlier.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in every compute-heavy category recorded. Its 24 GB GDDR6 memory with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth allows large datasets to reside on the GPU, avoiding system memory bottlenecks. The 20 ray tracing cores enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which the 24EU cannot perform. The 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 performance, along with 192.0 GPixel/s pixel fill rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate, position it for professional rendering, simulation, and AI inference workloads. Its 50th percentile ranking across all GPUs indicates it sits above the median, while the 24EU sits near the bottom.

The data also shows the B60 Dual supports PCIe 5.0 x8, doubling the interface bandwidth available to the 24EU’s Ring Bus connection. The B60 Dual’s 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs support multi-display professional setups, whereas the 24EU’s output capability depends entirely on the motherboard implementation. The B60 Dual’s dual-slot cooler and 400 W TDP are appropriate for sustained workloads, while the 24EU’s 65 W TDP limits it to brief, low-intensity bursts.
