Analysis: AMD Radeon RX 7700 vs Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual
Where Each One Wins
The benchmark database separates these two cards into very different competitive tiers. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 records an average benchmark score of 15,852, placing it at the 58th percentile of all GPUs in the database. It runs within a tight cluster of rivals: it sits 0.1% behind the AMD Radeon R9 370X (15,862), 1% behind the AMD Radeon RX 9060 (16,014), 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 (15,679), and 1.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (16,129). The RX 7700 wins clearly in synthetic DirectX workloads, posting a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,865 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 106,028. Its PassMark G3D score of 20,974 and GPU compute score of 10,963 further confirm that it is a general-purpose gaming and compute card with measurable, consistent results across multiple test suites.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is 0, its percentile versus all GPUs is 50, and it has no nearest rivals listed. The data cannot show a single direct win for the Intel card in any benchmark category. However, the Arc Pro B60 Dual wins on paper in memory capacity: it carries 24 GB of GDDR6, versus 16 GB on the RX 7700. That capacity advantage does not translate into any measured performance win in the database, as there are no head-to-head benchmark results, no wins for either card, and no recorded scores for the Intel part. The RX 7700 is the only card with measurable wins in every benchmark category where data exists.
Architecture Differences
Both cards use a 5 nm process node from TSMC, but the underlying architectures diverge sharply. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 uses the Navi 32 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, part of the Navi III (RX 7000) generation, with the codename Wheat Nas. It integrates 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 81.2 million per mm². The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip with Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation, with no codename listed. It contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, for a density of 72.1 million per mm². The AMD chip has 43% more transistors and a 27% larger die, while Intel's chip is denser in absolute terms but less dense per area.
The two cards share identical shading unit counts (2,560) and texture mapping units (160), but differ in render output units: the RX 7700 has 96 ROPs, while the Arc Pro B60 has 80. Ray tracing cores also differ: the RX 7700 has 40, the Arc Pro B60 has 20. The AMD card lists FP32 performance at 25.18 TFLOPS with FP16 at 25.18 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). The Intel card lists FP32 at 12.29 TFLOPS but FP16 at 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), indicating a different compute pipeline. Clock speeds are close: the RX 7700 runs a 1900 MHz base and 2459 MHz boost, while the Arc Pro B60 runs a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. Memory clocks are also similar: 2438 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective) for AMD versus 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for Intel.
The power envelope differs significantly. The RX 7700 has a TDP of 200 W with a suggested PSU of 550 W, using two 8-pin connectors. The Arc Pro B60 has a TDP of 400 W with a suggested PSU of 800 W, using a single 16-pin connector. Both are dual-slot cards, but the RX 7700 is shorter at 267 mm versus 300 mm, and taller at 135 mm versus 110 mm. The RX 7700 uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Arc Pro B60 uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs differ as well: the RX 7700 offers one HDMI 2.1a, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C; the Arc Pro B60 offers four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon RX 7700 and the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual. The wins counter shows 0 for both cards. Consequently, all comparative analysis must rely on the RX 7700's recorded scores and the Intel card's absence of scores. The RX 7700 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,865, which places it in the 58th percentile overall. Its PassMark results show strong legacy DirectX performance: 92 in DirectX 10, 186 in DirectX 11, 96 in DirectX 12, and 261 in DirectX 9. The PassMark G2D score of 1,206 indicates solid 2D acceleration, while the G3D score of 20,974 and GPU compute score of 10,963 round out the profile.
The nearest rival data for the RX 7700 provides context. It trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti by 1.7% in average score, which is a narrow margin given that the RTX 3060 Ti averages 16,129. It also trails the AMD Radeon RX 9060 by 1% (16,014). Against the AMD Radeon R9 370X, the RX 7700 is effectively tied, at 0.1% behind (15,862 versus 15,852). It leads the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 by 1.1% (15,679 versus 15,852). These deltas are all within a few percentage points, indicating that the RX 7700 sits in a crowded mid-range performance band. The Arc Pro B60 has no comparable figures, so no precise delta can be stated for it.
The RX 7700's FP32 throughput of 25.18 TFLOPS is more than double the Arc Pro B60's 12.29 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s also exceed the Intel card's 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. The memory bandwidth gap is substantial: 624.1 GB/s for the RX 7700 versus 456.0 GB/s for the Arc Pro B60. These numbers indicate that the AMD card processes geometry and shading at a higher rate, while the Intel card compensates only with a larger memory pool (24 GB versus 16 GB) and a faster bus interface (PCIe 5.0 versus 4.0).

The Verdict
The data points clearly to the AMD Radeon RX 7700 as the measured performer. It has a full suite of benchmark scores across 3DMark, Geekbench, and multiple PassMark tests, with an average score of 15,852 and a 58th percentile ranking. It holds its own against established rivals, staying within 1.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and beating the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 by 1.1%. Its FP32 compute is double that of the Intel card, its memory bandwidth is 37% higher, and its TDP is half. For any workload that relies on raw shading, rasterization, or compute throughput, the RX 7700 is the only card with actual data proving its capability.
The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins only in memory capacity (24 GB versus 16 GB) and launch MSRP (1,199 USD, stated once). It also offers four mini-DisplayPort outputs and a PCIe 5.0 interface, which may suit specific professional display or bandwidth needs. But with no recorded benchmark scores, no head-to-head results, and no rival comparisons, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage. Its 400 W TDP and 800 W PSU requirement also demand a heavier power infrastructure. For users who need measurable performance, the RX 7700 is the only card with evidence in the database. For users who prioritize maximum memory capacity and are willing to accept unverified performance, the Arc Pro B60 remains an option, but the data does not support it as a faster card.
