Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark results for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, but the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores in the current dataset. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most tests. The RTX 5070's recorded average benchmark score is 40,377, placing it in the 82nd percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (average score 40,318, a 0.1% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (average score 40,063, a 0.8% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (average score 40,870, a -1.2% delta). The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile trails slightly with an average score of 39,568, a 2% delta behind the RTX 5070.

For the RTX 5070, the strongest individual benchmark result comes from Passmark G3D, where it scores 29,137. In compute workloads, the Passmark GPU Compute test returns 15,787. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 172,660, while the Geekbench Vulkan score is 178,923. In DirectX 12, the 3DMark Steel Nomad test yields a score of 5,077. Older DirectX workloads show lower numbers, with Passmark DirectX 11 scoring 277, DirectX 10 scoring 180, and DirectX 9 scoring 320. The Passmark DirectX 12 result is 108, and the Passmark G2D score is 1,305.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries, so its percentile rank of 50 is based on its specifications rather than measured performance. The database does not record any wins for either card in head-to-head testing, as the head-to-head benchmark list is empty. Consequently, the data cannot show which card performs better in any specific test. The only meaningful comparison comes from the RTX 5070's recorded scores, which demonstrate consistent performance across compute and graphics workloads, with particularly strong results in Vulkan and OpenCL API tests.

Architecture Differences

The two cards use fundamentally different architectures. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, specifically the BMG-G21 chip, and belongs to the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB205 chip and belongs to the GeForce 50 generation. Both are manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts differ substantially. The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a die size of 272 mm², resulting in a transistor density of 72.1 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs 31,100 million transistors onto a 263 mm² die, achieving a density of 118.3 million per mm², which indicates a significantly more compact design.

The core configurations diverge sharply. The RTX 5070 has 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, 48 ray tracing cores, and 192 tensor cores. The Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, and 20 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed in the database. These differences translate into raw compute throughput: the RTX 5070 delivers 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Arc Pro B60 Dual provides 12.29 TFLOPS. For FP16, the RTX 5070 maintains 30.87 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, whereas the Intel card reaches 24.58 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32. The pixel rate is also higher on the NVIDIA card at 201.0 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 482.3 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s.

Memory architecture shows notable differences in capacity and type. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 uses 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on the same 192-bit bus width, but delivers 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth due to the higher effective memory clock of 28 Gbps versus 19 Gbps. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. The PCIe interface differs, with the Intel card using PCIe 5.0 x8 and the NVIDIA card using PCIe 5.0 x16, which gives the RTX 5070 twice the available bandwidth to the host system.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every measured specification in the database. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual runs at 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost. The RTX 5070's shading unit count of 6,144 is more than double the Intel card's 2,560. Texture mapping units number 192 for NVIDIA and 160 for Intel. Both have 80 raster operation units, but the RTX 5070 has 48 ray tracing cores versus 20 on the Intel card, and 192 tensor cores versus none listed for Intel.

Memory capacity is a major differentiator: the Intel card offers 24 GB of GDDR6, while the NVIDIA card has 12 GB of GDDR7. Despite the lower capacity, the RTX 5070 achieves higher memory bandwidth at 672.0 GB/s compared to 456.0 GB/s. The memory clock rates are 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for Intel and 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA. The power draw is also distinct, with the Intel card rated at 400 W TDP and the NVIDIA card at 250 W TDP. The suggested power supply is 800 W for the Intel card and 600 W for the NVIDIA card. Both use a dual-slot form factor and a single 16-pin power connector.

Physical dimensions differ as well. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual measures 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The NVIDIA card is shorter at 245 mm in length, slightly taller at 115 mm, and the same 40 mm width. Display outputs are different: the Intel card provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connectors, while the NVIDIA card offers one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b connectors. The bus interface is PCIe 5.0 x8 for Intel and PCIe 5.0 x16 for NVIDIA. Release dates place the RTX 5070 in March 2025 and the Arc Pro B60 Dual in September 2025. The RTX 5070 has a predecessor (GeForce 40) and a successor (GeForce 60) listed, while the Intel card has neither.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance advantage for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 in every measurable category. Its average benchmark score of 40,377 places it in the 82nd percentile, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile based on specifications alone. The RTX 5070 delivers 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is 2.5 times the 12.29 TFLOPS of the Intel card. Memory bandwidth is 672.0 GB/s versus 456.0 GB/s, and the NVIDIA card has more than double the shading units and ray tracing cores. The RTX 5070 also consumes less power at 250 W versus 400 W TDP, making it more efficient in terms of performance per watt based on the available data.

However, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual offers a larger memory capacity of 24 GB versus 12 GB, which can be relevant for workloads requiring large datasets. The database does not include any benchmark results for the Intel card, so its real-world performance remains unmeasured. The RTX 5070's nearest rivals have average scores within a narrow range, confirming that its performance is well established in the database, whereas the Intel card's absence from benchmark testing limits any definitive conclusions about its capabilities.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 wins in raw compute performance, as evidenced by its 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 rating and its recorded benchmark scores. The Passmark G3D score of 29,137 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 178,923 indicate strong graphics and compute performance. The higher pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s suggest advantages in fill-rate-bound workloads. The 192 tensor cores also position the RTX 5070 for AI and deep learning tasks, though the database provides no specific tensor benchmarks to confirm this.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in memory capacity, offering 24 GB compared to 12 GB on the NVIDIA card. This larger frame buffer can accommodate larger textures, datasets, or multi-application workloads without exceeding memory limits. The Intel card also has a lower transistor density (72.1M per mm² versus 118.3M per mm²), which may indicate a different design trade-off, though the database does not provide performance data to assess the impact. The four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs could be advantageous for multi-monitor professional setups, while the NVIDIA card offers one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b connectors.

The power consumption figures favor the RTX 5070 for energy-conscious deployments, with a 250 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU versus the Intel card's 400 W TDP and 800 W suggested PSU. The RTX 5070 also has a shorter physical length at 245 mm versus 300 mm, which may ease installation in smaller cases. For users prioritizing measured performance, the RTX 5070 is the only option with recorded benchmark data; the Intel card's capabilities remain unquantified in the database.
