Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA H20 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual versus the NVIDIA H20. Both entries have empty benchmark arrays, zero average benchmark scores, and identical percentile rankings at 50th percentile versus all GPUs. The win counters for both items are set to zero, indicating no measured performance victories for either product in the current dataset.

Because no benchmark scores exist, the analysis must rely on the theoretical compute specifications recorded in the database. The NVIDIA H20 delivers 39.54 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, which is 3.2 times the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual's 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 figure. In FP16 compute, the H20 reaches 79.07 TFLOPS (2:1), while the Intel part achieves 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1), a 3.2x advantage for NVIDIA. The H20 also leads in texture rate with 617.8 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s for the Intel card, a 1.6x margin.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual counters in pixel processing. Its 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate is 4.0 times faster than the H20's 47.52 GPixel/s. The Intel card also has 80 ROPs against the H20's 24 ROPs, a 3.3x advantage. These figures indicate the Intel part is optimized for rasterization output, while the NVIDIA part prioritizes compute throughput and texture work.

Memory bandwidth shows a substantial NVIDIA lead. The H20's HBM3 memory delivers 4.03 TB/s, which is 8.8 times the Intel card's 456.0 GB/s from GDDR6. The H20 also has 96 GB of memory versus 24 GB on the Intel card, a 4.0x capacity difference. These gaps suggest the H20 is designed for large working sets and memory-bound workloads, while the Intel card targets lower-capacity, higher-latency-tolerant scenarios.

Clock speeds favor the Intel card in raw frequency. The Arc Pro B60 Dual runs at a 2000 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost, compared to the H20's 1830 MHz base and 1980 MHz boost. The Intel card's boost clock is 21.2% higher than the H20's boost clock. Memory clocks show a similar pattern: Intel uses 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) while NVIDIA uses 1313 MHz (5.3 Gbps effective), though the H20 compensates with a 6144-bit bus versus Intel's 192-bit bus.

Architecture Differences

The two products come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual uses the BMG-G21 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. The NVIDIA H20 uses the GH100 chip on the Hopper architecture, part of the Server Hopper (Hxx) generation. Both are manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts diverge sharply. The H20 integrates 80,000 million transistors on an 814 mm² die, while the Intel card has 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. This yields transistor densities of 98.3M per mm² for NVIDIA and 72.1M per mm² for Intel.

The compute resources differ in scale and type. The H20 has 9984 shading units, 312 TMUs, and 312 tensor cores. The Intel card has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The H20 does not list dedicated ray tracing cores, while the Intel card includes them. The H20's tensor core count of 312 indicates a focus on matrix operations, while the Intel card's ray tracing cores target graphics workloads.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The H20 uses 96 GB of HBM3 across a 6144-bit bus, achieving 4.03 TB/s bandwidth. The Intel card uses 24 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit bus, achieving 456.0 GB/s. The H20's memory bus width is 32 times wider than Intel's, which explains the bandwidth disparity despite the H20's lower memory clock.

Interface and physical design also differ. The Intel card is a dual-slot PCIe 5.0 x8 device with 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The H20 is an SXM Module with PCIe 5.0 x16 and no display outputs. The Intel card has a 400 W TDP and requires a 1x 16-pin power connector with an 800 W suggested PSU. The H20 has a 500 W TDP, no listed power connectors, and a 900 W suggested PSU. The Intel card measures 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The H20 has no recorded dimensions.

API support shows a clear split. The Intel card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The H20 lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, indicating it is not designed for graphics API workloads. This aligns with the H20's server positioning and lack of display outputs.

The Verdict

The data indicates two products with distinct purposes. The NVIDIA H20 is the compute leader. Its FP32 throughput of 39.54 TFLOPS is 3.2x higher than the Intel card. Its FP16 throughput of 79.07 TFLOPS is also 3.2x higher. Memory bandwidth of 4.03 TB/s is 8.8x higher, and memory capacity of 96 GB is 4.0x higher. The H20 also has 312 tensor cores versus none listed on the Intel card, making it the choice for matrix-heavy workloads.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is the graphics-oriented option. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is 4.0x higher than the H20. It has 80 ROPs versus 24, and 20 ray tracing cores versus none listed. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the H20 supports none of these APIs. The Intel card provides display outputs, while the H20 has none.

For rendering workloads, the Intel card's higher pixel throughput, ray tracing support, and graphics API compatibility make it the appropriate choice. For compute workloads requiring large memory, high bandwidth, and tensor operations, the H20 is the data-supported selection. The 400 W TDP of the Intel card versus 500 W for the H20, and the 800 W suggested PSU versus 900 W, indicate the Intel card has a lower power requirement. The Intel card's launch MSRP is 1,199 USD.
