Intel Arc Graphics 64EU vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Intel Arc Graphics 64EU and Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual target entirely different segments of the graphics market. The 64EU is an integrated graphics solution built into Arrow Lake-S processors, while the B60 Dual is a professional add-in board based on the Battlemage architecture. The recorded data shows a fundamental gap in compute resources, memory configuration, and performance positioning. Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are not available in the database, so the analysis relies on the individual specifications and the limited benchmark entries for the 64EU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two parts. For the Intel Arc Graphics 64EU, the sole recorded benchmark is a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 733. That score places the integrated GPU at the 3rd percentile of all GPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms only a small fraction of the entire field. The nearest rivals for the 64EU include the Intel Arc Graphics 32EU with an identical average score of 733, and the Intel Arc Graphics 24EU, also at 733. Both comparisons show a delta of 0 percent, indicating no measurable performance difference among these three Intel integrated graphics configurations in this particular test. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M trails with an average score of 723, a delta of 1.4 percent behind the 64EU. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M sits slightly ahead with a score of 751, which represents a 2.4 percent advantage over the 64EU.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and it has no nearest rivals recorded. The percentile field for the B60 Dual is set at 50, which indicates it falls in the middle of the database distribution, but without actual benchmark scores, the data cannot confirm the exact placement. The absence of benchmark data for the B60 Dual means the performance comparison between the two cards cannot be expressed through direct score deltas. Instead, the analysis must rely on the specification differences to infer relative capability.

The 64EU delivers a pixel rate of 30.40 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 60.80 GTexel/s. The B60 Dual produces a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s. These figures indicate the B60 Dual operates at roughly 6.3 times the pixel throughput and 6.3 times the texture throughput of the 64EU. Floating-point performance shows a similar gap: the 64EU computes 1.946 TFLOPS in FP32, while the B60 Dual reaches 12.29 TFLOPS, a difference of approximately 6.3 times. The FP16 figures follow the same pattern, with the 64EU at 3.891 TFLOPS and the B60 Dual at 24.58 TFLOPS.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Graphics 64EU wins in the integrated graphics space. It requires no separate power connector, fits as an IGP within the processor package, and draws 65 W. Its bus interface is a ring bus, which means it connects directly to the processor rather than through a PCIe slot. This makes the 64EU suitable for systems where a discrete GPU is not an option, such as compact desktops or office machines that rely on the processor's built-in display outputs. The motherboard determines the display outputs, which adds flexibility for system integrators. The 64EU also holds a narrow edge over the AMD Radeon HD 6470M in the 3DMark Steel Nomad test, with a 1.4 percent delta in its favor.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in raw graphics throughput and professional capability. Its 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units dwarf the 64EU's 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The B60 Dual includes 20 ray tracing cores, while the 64EU lists no ray tracing cores at all. The 24 GB GDDR6 memory with 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth provides a dedicated memory pool, whereas the 64EU depends on system memory with unspecified performance. The B60 Dual supports PCIe 5.0 x8, a modern host interface for high-bandwidth data transfer. Its four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs provide a professional display configuration, compared to the motherboard-dependent outputs of the 64EU. The B60 Dual also carries a 400 W TDP and requires an 800 W suggested power supply, which reflects its higher performance envelope.

The B60 Dual also wins on clock speeds. Its base clock of 2000 MHz and boost clock of 2400 MHz exceed the 64EU's base clock of 300 MHz and boost clock of 1900 MHz. The memory clock of 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective transfer rate on the B60 Dual further separates the two, as the 64EU's memory clock is system dependent. The B60 Dual's FP32 throughput of 12.29 TFLOPS is approximately 6.3 times that of the 64EU, and its FP16 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS is similarly scaled. These figures indicate that the B60 Dual is designed for sustained compute workloads, not just display output.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification category. The 64EU uses the Arrow Lake-S chip with Xe-LPG architecture, while the B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip with Xe2-HPG architecture. The process nodes differ: the 64EU is built on TSMC's 3 nm process, and the B60 Dual uses TSMC's 5 nm process. The 64EU contains 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 73.3 million per mm². The B60 Dual contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a density of 72.1 million per mm². The B60 Dual has more transistors and a larger die, but the 64EU has a slightly higher transistor density due to the smaller process node.

Clock speeds show a major split. The 64EU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1900 MHz. The B60 Dual has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Memory configurations are entirely different: the 64EU uses system shared memory, while the B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. The 64EU's memory clock is system dependent, while the B60 Dual operates at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective transfer rate.

Compute unit counts differ substantially. The 64EU has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The B60 Dual has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The B60 Dual adds 20 ray tracing cores, a feature absent from the 64EU. Power and physical specifications also differ: the 64EU has a 65 W TDP and an IGP slot width, while the B60 Dual has a 400 W TDP, a dual-slot width, a 1x 16-pin power connector, and dimensions of 300 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm. The bus interface changes from a ring bus on the 64EU to PCIe 5.0 x8 on the B60 Dual. Display outputs go from motherboard dependent on the 64EU to 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 on the B60 Dual.

Architecture Differences

The architecture gap is significant. The 64EU belongs to the Arc Graphics (Arrow Lake) generation and uses the Xe-LPG architecture. The B60 Dual belongs to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation and uses the Xe2-HPG architecture. Xe-LPG is the integrated graphics design found in Arrow Lake-S processors, optimized for power efficiency within a 65 W envelope. Xe2-HPG is the second-generation high-performance gaming and compute architecture, designed for discrete GPUs with higher power budgets. The B60 Dual's 400 W TDP reflects this architectural direction.

The process node difference is notable: the 64EU uses TSMC's 3 nm process, while the B60 Dual uses TSMC's 5 nm process. The newer 3 nm node allows the 64EU to achieve a higher transistor density of 73.3 million per mm² compared to 72.1 million per mm² for the B60 Dual, despite the B60 Dual having more total transistors. The 64EU's smaller die at 243 mm² holds 17,800 million transistors, while the B60 Dual's larger 272 mm² die holds 19,600 million transistors.

The memory architecture reflects the different design goals. The 64EU relies on system shared memory, meaning the graphics engine accesses the same memory pool as the CPU, with bandwidth and capacity dependent on the host system. The B60 Dual has dedicated 24 GB of GDDR6 memory with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is essential for professional workloads that need consistent, high-bandwidth memory access. The B60 Dual also includes dedicated ray tracing hardware in the form of 20 RT cores, while the 64EU has no RT core count listed.

The API support is identical: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The production status for both is active. The 64EU was released on 2024-10-23, and the B60 Dual followed on 2025-09-04. The B60 Dual has a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD. The 64EU has no launch MSRP listed, as it ships as part of the processor package. The predecessor field for the 64EU is HD Graphics, while the B60 Dual has no predecessor recorded. The B60 Dual's 24 GB frame buffer and 192-bit bus, combined with its 2560 shading units and 20 RT cores, place it in a different performance class entirely. The 64EU's 3rd percentile ranking in the database underscores its position as an entry-level integrated solution, while the B60 Dual's 50th percentile field, despite the absence of recorded benchmarks, suggests a mid-pack standing that would be confirmed by actual test data.
