Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6 Comparison

Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6 occupy very different positions in the database. The RTX 4070 GDDR6 has a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4334.5, placing it at the 25th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 (4360, 0.6% higher), the AMD FirePro W2100 (4295, 0.9% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce 930M (4388, 1.2% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M (4282, 1.2% lower). The Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores and no nearest rivals, so the comparison relies on the RTX 4070 GDDR6’s measured data and the architectural specifications of both cards.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6. The only measured performance data available is for the RTX 4070 GDDR6. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4334.5 sits within a narrow band of its listed nearest rivals. The spread is tight: the fastest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce 930M, scores 4388, which is 1.2% above the RTX 4070 GDDR6. The slowest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M, scores 4282, which is 1.2% below. This indicates that the RTX 4070 GDDR6’s measured result is effectively a midpoint in that particular cluster of comparison points.

Because the Arc Pro B60 Dual has an average benchmark score of 0 and no entry in the head-to-head table, the data cannot confirm any performance win for either card. The Arc Pro B60 Dual’s percentile rank of 50 versus the RTX 4070 GDDR6’s percentile rank of 25 suggests the Intel card is positioned higher in the overall distribution, but this percentile field is not backed by a measured score. The RTX 4070 GDDR6 delivers 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers 12.29 TFLOPS. That is a 2.37x difference in raw shader throughput in favor of the NVIDIA card, based on the recorded specification data.

The texture rate tells a similar story: the RTX 4070 GDDR6 reaches 455.4 GTexel/s, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual reaches 384.0 GTexel/s. This is an 18.6% advantage for the NVIDIA card. Pixel rate goes the other way: the Arc Pro B60 Dual outputs 192.0 GPixel/s versus the RTX 4070 GDDR6’s 158.4 GPixel/s, a 21.2% advantage for the Intel card. Memory bandwidth is close, with the RTX 4070 GDDR6 at 480.0 GB/s and the Arc Pro B60 Dual at 456.0 GB/s, a 5.3% edge for NVIDIA.

The Verdict

Based strictly on recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6 has a measurable benchmark result (4334.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12) while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has none. That makes the RTX 4070 GDDR6 the only card in this comparison with verified performance in the database. Its raw compute specifications are also substantially higher: 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 versus 12.29 TFLOPS, and 455.4 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. For any workload that depends on shader throughput or texture fill, the recorded data points to the NVIDIA card.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual counters with 24 GB of memory versus 12 GB, a 21.2% higher pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s versus 158.4 GPixel/s), and an Active production status. It also carries a higher percentile rank (50 versus 25), though this is not supported by a measured score. For workloads that require large memory capacity or high fill-rate operations, the Intel card’s specifications are favorable. The RTX 4070 GDDR6 is end-of-life, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual is still active, which may matter for availability planning.

The database does not support a blanket performance winner. It confirms the RTX 4070 GDDR6 as the only card with a benchmark score, and it shows the NVIDIA card with a large lead in compute and texture throughput. It also shows the Intel card with a memory capacity and pixel rate lead. A buyer prioritizing measured 3DMark results or raw FP32 throughput should choose the NVIDIA card. A buyer prioritizing memory capacity, ROP count, or active production status should consider the Intel card.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every major specification field. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6 uses the AD104 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. The NVIDIA chip has 82.7% more transistors and a 8.1% larger die, with a transistor density of 121.8M per mm² versus 72.1M per mm² for the Intel chip.

Clock speeds are close: the Intel card has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, while the NVIDIA card has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. The Intel card has a higher base clock by 4.2%, but the NVIDIA card has a higher boost clock by 3.1%. Memory clocks are 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for Intel versus 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA.

Memory capacity is the largest single difference: 24 GB for the Arc Pro B60 Dual versus 12 GB for the RTX 4070 GDDR6. Both use GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, but the NVIDIA card has 480.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 456.0 GB/s for Intel. Shading unit count favors NVIDIA heavily: 5888 versus 2560. TMUs are 184 versus 160, ROPs are 64 versus 80. The NVIDIA card has 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores; the Intel card has 20 RT cores and no tensor core field.

Thermal design power is 400 W for the Intel card versus 200 W for the NVIDIA card, with suggested PSUs of 800 W and 550 W respectively. The Intel card uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ: the Intel card has 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1, while the NVIDIA card has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Dimensions are 300 mm length for Intel versus 240 mm for NVIDIA, with identical height (110 mm) and width (40 mm).

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6 uses the Ada Lovelace architecture from the GeForce 40 series. Both are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts reveal different design priorities. The NVIDIA chip packs 35,800 million transistors into 294 mm², achieving a density of 121.8M per mm². The Intel chip uses 19,600 million transistors across 272 mm², at a density of 72.1M per mm².

The RTX 4070 GDDR6’s shading unit count of 5888 and tensor core count of 184 indicate a design focused on parallel compute and AI workloads. The Arc Pro B60 Dual’s 2560 shading units and 20 RT cores show a leaner configuration. The RTX 4070 GDDR6 runs FP16 at 1:1 ratio with FP32 (29.15 TFLOPS), while the Intel card runs FP16 at 2:1 ratio (24.58 TFLOPS), meaning the Intel card halves its FP16 rate relative to FP32.

The Intel card’s 80 ROPs versus 64 on the NVIDIA card, combined with its higher pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s versus 158.4 GPixel/s), suggests a rasterization-oriented design. The NVIDIA card’s higher texture rate (455.4 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s) and higher FP32 throughput indicate a compute-oriented design. The PCIe interface also differs: Intel uses PCIe 5.0 x8, NVIDIA uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GDDR6 wins on raw compute performance. Its FP32 throughput of 29.15 TFLOPS is more than double the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual’s 12.29 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s is 18.6% higher. It also has more shading units (5888 versus 2560), more TMUs (184 versus 160), more RT cores (46 versus 20), and tensor cores (184) where the Intel card lists none. The only measured benchmark in the database belongs to the NVIDIA card, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4334.5. The NVIDIA card also has a higher memory clock (2500 MHz versus 2375 MHz) and higher memory bandwidth (480.0 GB/s versus 456.0 GB/s). Its lower TDP of 200 W versus 400 W and lower suggested PSU of 550 W versus 800 W point to lower system power requirements.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins on memory capacity, with 24 GB versus 12 GB, a 2x difference. It also has a higher pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s versus 158.4 GPixel/s) and more ROPs (80 versus 64). Its base clock is higher (2000 MHz versus 1920 MHz), and it uses a newer PCIe 5.0 x8 interface. The Intel card has a higher transistor density figure in terms of its own die (72.1M per mm²), though this is lower than the NVIDIA chip’s density. The Intel card is in Active production status, while the NVIDIA card is End-of-life. The Intel card’s display outputs are all mini-DisplayPort 2.1, versus the NVIDIA card’s mixed HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a setup. The Intel card also has a larger physical length (300 mm versus 240 mm), which may affect case compatibility.
