Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single benchmark result for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark entries. This asymmetry limits direct head-to-head comparison to one data point. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the RTX 5090 D V2 scores 16504 points. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA T400 at 16508 points (a delta of 0 percent), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 at 16415 points (0.5 percent behind), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at 16408 points (0.6 percent behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT at 16361 points (0.9 percent behind). The RTX 5090 D V2 effectively sits at parity with the T400, which is a remarkable outcome given the specification gap between those two cards. The delta percentages are tiny, all under 1 percent, meaning the RTX 5090 D V2 delivers nearly identical performance to these rivals in this specific workload.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores, so its performance cannot be quantified against the RTX 5090 D V2 or any other card in the database. The percentile ranking for the Intel card is 50, placing it at the midpoint of all GPUs tracked. The NVIDIA card holds a percentile of 59, indicating it outperforms a larger share of the GPU population. However, with only one benchmark result for the NVIDIA card and zero for the Intel card, the percentile figures rest on uneven data. The Intel card's average benchmark score is 0, which reflects the absence of test data rather than actual performance. The NVIDIA card's average benchmark score of 16504 confirms its measured performance level.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark data for the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, any performance comparison must rely on architectural specifications rather than measured results. The RTX 5090 D V2 shows a clear advantage in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance reaches 104.8 TFLOPS, while the Intel card delivers 12.29 TFLOPS. This represents an 8.5 times difference in single-precision floating-point capability. The NVIDIA card also leads in texture rate at 1,636.8 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s for Intel, and pixel rate at 423.6 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s. These figures indicate the NVIDIA card processes geometry and texture work substantially faster.

Memory bandwidth favors the NVIDIA card decisively. The RTX 5090 D V2 offers 1.34 TB/s across a 384-bit bus using GDDR7 memory, while the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual provides 456.0 GB/s across a 192-bit bus using GDDR6. The NVIDIA card's bandwidth is roughly 2.9 times higher, which matters for high-resolution textures and compute workloads that saturate memory throughput. Both cards carry 24 GB of memory, so capacity is identical, but the NVIDIA card moves data far faster.

The Intel card does hold advantages in specific areas. Its power draw is 400 W compared to 575 W for the NVIDIA card, meaning the Intel card consumes less energy for a given workload. The Intel card also has a smaller physical footprint at 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width versus 304 mm, 137 mm, and 48 mm for the NVIDIA card. The RTX 5090 D V2 requires a 950 W suggested power supply, while the Intel card lists 800 W. These differences position the Intel card as a more compact, lower-power option, though the NVIDIA card's performance headroom is substantial.

Architecture Differences

The two cards represent fundamentally different architectures from their respective manufacturers. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, belonging to the Battlemage Pro Series generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 uses the GB202 chip on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50-series. Both chips are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts diverge sharply. The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs 92,200 million transistors onto a 750 mm² die, achieving 122.9 million per mm². The NVIDIA die is 2.8 times larger and holds 4.7 times more transistors.

Core configuration differences are extreme. The NVIDIA card has 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units. The Intel card has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The NVIDIA card's shading unit count is 8.5 times higher, its TMU count is 4.25 times higher, and its ROP count is 2.2 times higher. Ray tracing cores also differ: NVIDIA includes 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores, while Intel lists 20 RT cores and no tensor core data. The tensor cores on the NVIDIA card enable AI-accelerated workloads that the Intel card cannot match through dedicated hardware.

Clock speeds sit close together. The Intel card runs a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost, while the NVIDIA card runs 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost. The NVIDIA card's clocks are marginally higher, but the performance gap comes primarily from the massive difference in execution resources rather than frequency. Memory technology also differs: Intel uses GDDR6 at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective), while NVIDIA uses GDDR7 at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The GDDR7 standard delivers higher data rates per pin, contributing to the NVIDIA card's bandwidth advantage.

The bus interface differs as well. The Intel card connects via PCIe 5.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The wider bus on the NVIDIA card doubles the available bandwidth for host communication, which can benefit data transfer-heavy workloads. Display outputs also differ: the Intel card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1, while the NVIDIA card offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical.

The Verdict

The data available in the database presents an incomplete picture, as the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no benchmark results while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 has one. Based on the recorded specifications, the NVIDIA card dominates in raw compute, memory bandwidth, and core resources. Its FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS dwarfs the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS, and its 1.34 TB/s memory bandwidth exceeds the Intel card's 456.0 GB/s by a wide margin. The NVIDIA card's 21,760 shading units and 680 tensor cores provide capabilities that the Intel card cannot approach with 2,560 shading units and no tensor core data.

The Intel card counters with lower power consumption at 400 W versus 575 W, a smaller physical footprint, and the same 24 GB memory capacity. Its 50th percentile ranking versus the NVIDIA card's 59th percentile suggests the NVIDIA card sits higher in the overall GPU distribution, though the benchmark data supporting these percentiles is thin. The RTX 5090 D V2's measured score of 16504 in Steel Nomad places it in a tight cluster with rivals within 0.9 percent, indicating that its real-world performance may not fully reflect its specification advantage in this particular workload. The Intel card's lack of benchmark data prevents any conclusion about its actual performance level.

For workloads demanding maximum compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and AI acceleration, the NVIDIA card is the clear choice based on specifications. For applications prioritizing lower power draw and compact dimensions while still offering 24 GB of memory, the Intel card presents a viable alternative. The launch MSRP for the Intel card is 1,199 USD, while the NVIDIA card carries a launch MSRP of 2,299 USD. The database records show the NVIDIA card as the performance leader, but the absence of Intel benchmark scores means the actual performance gap remains unquantified.
