Intel Arc Pro A60 vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Arc Pro A60 versus the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The A60 has two recorded benchmark scores, while the B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct performance comparison impossible based on measured results alone.

The Intel Arc Pro A60 records an average benchmark score of 60,326 across its two tests. It achieved 63,485 in Geekbench OpenCL and 57,166 in Geekbench Vulkan. This places the A60 in the 88th percentile of all GPUs tracked in the database. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, shows an average score of 60,347, a delta of 0 percent, meaning the A60 and the RTX 4090 are statistically tied in this metric. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61,896, placing it 2.5 percent ahead of the A60. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60,140, which is 0.3 percent behind the A60. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58,657, putting it 2.8 percent behind the A60.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits in the 50th percentile of all GPUs. It has no nearest rivals listed in the database. The absence of recorded benchmark data means the B60 Dual cannot be ranked against the A60 or any other GPU in the database at this time. The percentile ranking of 50 for the B60 Dual reflects an entry with no measured performance data, not a verified performance level.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different Intel architecture generations. The Intel Arc Pro A60 is built on the Xe-HPG architecture and belongs to the Alchemist Pro Series generation. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the Xe2-HPG architecture from the Battlemage Pro Series generation.

The manufacturing process differs between the two. The A60 uses a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the B60 Dual uses a 5 nm process at TSMC. The transistor count scales accordingly: the A60 contains 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 42.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The B60 Dual contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 72.1 million transistors per square millimeter. The B60 Dual packs nearly double the transistor count into a barely larger die, reflecting the denser 5 nm process.

Core counts differ across the two designs. The A60 has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 16 ray tracing cores. The B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, and 20 ray tracing cores. The B60 Dual holds a 25 percent advantage in shading units, TMUs, and ROPs, and a 25 percent advantage in ray tracing cores as well.

Compute throughput follows the core count differences. The A60 delivers 8.397 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 16.79 TFLOPS of FP16 performance at a 2:1 ratio. The B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS of FP16 at the same 2:1 ratio. That represents a 46 percent higher FP32 throughput for the B60 Dual. Pixel and texture rates also scale: the A60 reaches 131.2 GPixel/s and 262.4 GTexel/s, while the B60 Dual reaches 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s.

The memory subsystem differs in capacity and speed, although the bus width is identical. Both cards use a 192-bit memory bus with GDDR6 memory. The A60 runs memory at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, yielding 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The B60 Dual runs memory at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed, yielding 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The B60 Dual provides 19 percent more memory bandwidth and double the memory capacity: 24 GB versus 12 GB.

The bus interface also differs. The A60 uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the B60 Dual uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Both provide similar total bus bandwidth, but the B60 Dual uses the newer PCIe 5.0 standard with fewer lanes.

Display outputs differ as well. The A60 provides 4x DisplayPort 2.0 connectors. The B60 Dual provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connectors.

Both cards support the same API feature set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear split between the two cards, but with an important caveat. The Intel Arc Pro A60 has verified benchmark results in the database, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has none. Performance conclusions about the B60 Dual must come from its specification sheet rather than measured results.

For users relying on measured benchmark data, the Intel Arc Pro A60 is the only card of the two with a recorded performance profile. Its average score of 60,326 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and the database shows it operating within a tight band around the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, with a delta of 0 percent. The A60 also leads the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 by 0.3 percent and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 by 2.8 percent, while trailing the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M by 2.5 percent. These results indicate the A60 is a competitive professional GPU within its peer group.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual presents a different profile. Its specifications point to substantially higher compute throughput: 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32 versus 8.397 TFLOPS, 2,560 shading units versus 2,048, and 20 ray tracing cores versus 16. It also doubles memory capacity to 24 GB and raises bandwidth to 456.0 GB/s. The newer Xe2-HPG architecture, 5 nm process, and higher clocks (2400 MHz boost versus 2050 MHz) all indicate a more capable processor on paper. However, the database records no benchmark scores for it, so its real-world standing against the A60 or any rival cannot be quantified from the available data.

The power and physical requirements differ substantially. The B60 Dual has a 400 W TDP and requires a suggested 800 W power supply, while the A60 has a 130 W TDP and a suggested 300 W power supply. The B60 Dual occupies two slots and measures 300 mm in length, while the A60 is a single-slot card with no dimensions listed. The B60 Dual also requires a 16-pin power connector, while the A60 lists no power connector requirement.

The release timeline also separates the two. The A60 launched on 2023-06-05, while the B60 Dual launched on 2025-09-04, more than two years later. The B60 Dual carries a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD, while no launch MSRP is listed for the A60.

The data indicates that buyers with a verified performance requirement should look to the A60, as it is the only card with measured results in the database. The B60 Dual offers a stronger specification sheet across nearly every compute metric, but its lack of recorded benchmark data means its performance position remains unverified. The choice between the two depends on whether a user prioritizes confirmed benchmark results or the higher theoretical specifications of the newer Battlemage architecture.
