Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA H200 NVL Comparison

The Verdict

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual and NVIDIA H200 NVL occupy opposite ends of the GPU spectrum. The recorded data shows the Intel part is a workstation-oriented graphics card with a 50th percentile standing among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA H200 NVL sits at the 100th percentile, indicating it is at the very top of the performance distribution. The H200 NVL is a server accelerator with no display outputs, designed for compute workloads, whereas the Arc Pro B60 Dual includes four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and full graphics API support.

For users needing a graphics card with display connectivity, DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 support, the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual is the only option between the two, as the NVIDIA part lists no graphics APIs. For compute-intensive tasks such as large-scale AI inference or training, the H200 NVL delivers substantially higher raw throughput, with FP32 performance of 60.32 TFLOPS versus 12.29 TFLOPS on the Intel card. The H200 NVL also provides 141 GB of HBM3e memory with 4.89 TB/s bandwidth, compared to 24 GB of GDDR6 at 456.0 GB/s on the Intel card.

The benchmark data shows the H200 NVL achieves an average score of 334,891 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA B200, scores 345,482, which is 3.1% higher, while the AMD Instinct MI300X trails by 5.3% with a score of 317,994. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC leads the group at 369,831, 9.4% above the H200 NVL, and the NVIDIA L40S falls 13.2% behind with 295,763. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so direct numerical comparison is limited to specification analysis.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs use different architectures from different manufacturers. Intel builds the Arc Pro B60 Dual on the Xe2-HPG architecture with the BMG-G21 chip, part of the Battlemage (Pro Series) generation. NVIDIA builds the H200 NVL on the Hopper architecture with the GH100 chip, part of the Server Hopper (Hxx) generation. Both use a 5 nm process node from TSMC, but the transistor counts differ dramatically: the Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, while the NVIDIA chip packs 80,000 million transistors on an 814 mm² die. The transistor density reflects this: 72.1 million transistors per square millimeter for Intel versus 98.3 million per square millimeter for NVIDIA.

The Intel GPU uses GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus, while the NVIDIA GPU uses HBM3e with a 6144-bit bus. This bus width difference explains the memory bandwidth gap: 456.0 GB/s for Intel versus 4.89 TB/s for NVIDIA. The Intel card has 24 GB of memory; the NVIDIA card has 141 GB, nearly six times as much.

Core configurations differ fundamentally. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, and 20 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA H200 NVL has 16,896 shading units, 528 texture mapping units, 24 raster operation units, and 528 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part does not list ray tracing cores, and the Intel part does not list tensor cores. The raster operation unit count is notably higher on the Intel card (80 versus 24), which aligns with its graphics-oriented role, while the NVIDIA card emphasizes tensor cores for compute workloads.

Clock speeds also differ. The Intel GPU runs at a base clock of 2000 MHz and boosts to 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA GPU runs at a base clock of 1365 MHz and boosts to 1785 MHz. Despite lower clocks, the NVIDIA part achieves far higher throughput due to its larger core count. The Intel card has a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card has a pixel rate of 42.84 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 942.5 GTexel/s. The lower pixel rate on NVIDIA reflects its 24 raster operation units, while the higher texture rate reflects its 528 texture mapping units.

The power connectors differ: the Intel card uses a 1x 16-pin connector with a 400 W TDP and an 800 W suggested PSU, while the NVIDIA card uses an 8-pin EPS connector with a 600 W TDP and a 1000 W suggested PSU. Both are dual-slot cards. The Intel card measures 300 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The NVIDIA card measures 267 mm in length and 111 mm in height, with no width listed. The bus interface also differs: PCIe 5.0 x8 for Intel versus PCIe 5.0 x16 for NVIDIA.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual and the NVIDIA H200 NVL. The Intel card has no benchmark entries at all, while the NVIDIA card has a single Geekbench OpenCL score of 334,891. The wins tally shows zero wins for each card in direct comparison.

The H200 NVL's nearest rivals provide context for its performance level. The NVIDIA B200 achieves 345,482, which is 3.1% higher than the H200 NVL. The AMD Instinct MI300X achieves 317,994, which is 5.3% lower. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC achieves 369,831, which is 9.4% higher. The NVIDIA L40S achieves 295,763, which is 13.2% lower. This places the H200 NVL in the upper-middle range of its competitive set, behind the B200 and B300 but ahead of the MI300X and L40S.

Without recorded benchmarks for the Intel card, specification-based analysis is the only available method for comparing the two. The FP32 compute figures show the NVIDIA card delivers 60.32 TFLOPS, which is roughly five times the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. The FP16 figures show a similar ratio: 120.6 TFLOPS for NVIDIA versus 24.58 TFLOPS for Intel, both expressed at a 2:1 ratio. Memory bandwidth favors NVIDIA by a factor of roughly ten: 4.89 TB/s versus 456.0 GB/s.

The Intel card's higher pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s versus 42.84 GPixel/s) indicates stronger rasterization throughput, which aligns with its graphics-oriented feature set. The NVIDIA card's higher texture rate (942.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s) indicates stronger texture processing, driven by its 528 texture mapping units.
