Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile and Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual occupy opposite ends of Intel’s graphics spectrum, one designed for mobility and the other for professional workloads. The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark scores for these two parts, as their target platforms and performance envelopes do not overlap. However, the recorded specifications and architectural data provide a clear picture of their relative capabilities, and the analysis below draws exclusively from those recorded figures.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no shared benchmark results between these two GPUs. The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual also records an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50. This absence of direct measurements means any comparison must rely on the raw computational throughput derived from their clock speeds and core configurations.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, a figure that dwarfs the 1,382.4 GFLOPS (approximately 1.38 TFLOPS) of the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile. That places the Pro B60 Dual at roughly 8.9 times the FP32 throughput of the mobile part, a gap that stems directly from its 2560 shading units versus 384, and its 2000 MHz base clock versus 300 MHz. The Pro B60 Dual also boosts to 2400 MHz, compared to the mobile chip’s 1800 MHz boost, compounding the core count advantage.

In texture processing, the Pro B60 Dual achieves 384.0 GTexel/s, while the mobile part manages 43.20 GTexel/s. That is a factor of approximately 8.9 again, reflecting the proportional increase in texture mapping units (160 versus 24). Pixel throughput shows a similar pattern: the Pro B60 Dual renders 192.0 GPixel/s, against the mobile GPU’s 14.40 GPixel/s, a 13.3 times difference driven by the Pro B60’s 80 raster output units compared to just 8 on the mobile chip.

FP16 compute tells the same story. The Pro B60 Dual reaches 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1), while the mobile part delivers 2.765 TFLOPS (2:1). The Pro B60 Dual thus offers roughly 8.9 times the half-precision throughput as well. Across every measured computational metric, the Pro B60 Dual wins by a wide margin, and the mobile part’s only advantage lies in its integrated form factor and lower power envelope.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 28 W TDP, built on the Xe-LPG architecture and manufactured on Intel’s 10 nm process. Its system-shared memory and portable-device-dependent display outputs make it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where discrete graphics are impractical. The data shows no benchmark wins for this part, but its design goals are evident: low power consumption, embedded operation, and reliance on system memory rather than dedicated VRAM.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins decisively in every recorded performance category. It is a dual-slot, 400 W discrete card with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 20 ray tracing cores and 12 Ultimate (12_2) DirectX support indicate a capability for hardware-accelerated ray tracing, something the mobile part lacks entirely with no ray tracing cores listed. The Pro B60 Dual also features four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, enabling multi-display professional setups, whereas the mobile GPU’s outputs depend entirely on the host device.

For compute-heavy professional workloads, the Pro B60 Dual’s 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16 place it in a different class. The mobile part’s 1.38 TFLOPS FP32 may suffice for basic graphics acceleration but will not handle demanding rendering or simulation tasks. The Pro B60 Dual also carries a 19,600 million transistor count on a 272 mm² die, with a transistor density of 72.1 million per square millimeter, indicating a much more complex and capable silicon design.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is the superior performer in every recorded metric. Its 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores provide a level of compute and rendering throughput that the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile, with 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, cannot approach. The Pro B60 Dual’s 24 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth also vastly exceed the mobile part’s system-shared memory, which has system-dependent bandwidth.

The Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile serves a different purpose. Its 28 W TDP and IGP form factor make it appropriate for portable devices where power efficiency and integration take priority over absolute performance. Its 10 nm process node and Meteor Lake chip design suggest a focus on battery life and thermal constraints. The Pro B60 Dual, conversely, is a professional-grade card with a 400 W TDP, an 800 W suggested PSU, and a 1x 16-pin power connector, designed for workstations that can accommodate its size and power draw.

Choosing between these two depends entirely on the use case. For a mobile device requiring basic graphics output, the Intel Arc Graphics 48EU Mobile is the only option that fits the form factor. For professional rendering, compute, or multi-display workloads, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is the clear choice based on its recorded specifications. The database shows no scenario where the mobile part outperforms the Pro B60 Dual in raw performance.
