Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements for the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual against the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation. The Intel card has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. The NVIDIA card, by contrast, has a full set of ten benchmark results across DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads.

The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation shows an average benchmark score of 18,954 across all recorded tests. Its percentile ranking places it at 63, meaning it sits above the midpoint of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals for the NVIDIA card are tightly clustered: the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 averages 19,030 (0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 averages 19,036 (0.4% higher), the NVIDIA Tesla K80 averages 18,866 (0.5% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile averages 19,049 (0.5% higher). This clustering indicates the RTX 2000 Ada Generation performs within a narrow band of roughly half a percent of four established cards.

Across the individual benchmark tests, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation delivers its strongest showing in Geekbench Vulkan with a score of 83,360, followed closely by Geekbench OpenCL at 78,074. The Passmark G3D score of 16,927 and Passmark GPU Compute score of 7,834 represent the other substantial results. The DirectX legacy tests are much lower: Passmark DirectX 9 scores 216, DirectX 11 scores 138, DirectX 10 scores 82, and DirectX 12 scores 71. The Passmark G2D score of 1,072 indicates 2D workload performance.

Since the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has no recorded scores, the database cannot confirm any win for either card in direct comparison. The wins counter shows zero for both sides. What the data does show is a complete absence of measurement data for the Intel product, which means any head-to-head comparison must rely entirely on architectural specifications rather than empirical results.

Architecture Differences

The two cards diverge substantially in their underlying designs despite both using a 5 nm process from TSMC. 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation uses the AD107 chip built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, belonging to the Workstation Ada generation. Both share the same DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 API support.

Transistor counts are broadly similar but not identical. Intel packs 19,600 million transistors into a 272 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². NVIDIA packs 18,900 million transistors into a 159 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 118.9M per mm². The density difference is stark: NVIDIA achieves roughly 65% more transistors per square millimeter, indicating a much tighter packing of logic on the Ada Lovelace chip.

Clock behavior also differs meaningfully. The Intel card runs a base clock of 2000 MHz with a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA card runs a base clock of 1620 MHz with a boost clock of 2130 MHz. Intel operates at higher clocks in both states, with a 380 MHz advantage at base and a 270 MHz advantage at boost.

Shader configuration shows a different balance. The Intel card has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. The NVIDIA card has 2,816 shading units, 88 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output pipelines. NVIDIA has 256 more shading units, while Intel has 72 more TMUs and 32 more ROPs. The ray tracing core count is close: 20 on Intel versus 22 on NVIDIA. NVIDIA additionally has 88 tensor cores, while the Intel card lists no tensor core count at all.

The memory subsystem differs significantly. Intel provides 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. NVIDIA provides 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Intel has 50% more memory capacity and 78% more memory bandwidth. The memory clock rates are 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for Intel versus 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA.

Power and physical characteristics diverge sharply. The Intel card has a TDP of 400 W, requires a 16-pin power connector, and recommends an 800 W power supply. The NVIDIA card has a TDP of 70 W, uses no power connectors, and recommends a 250 W power supply. The Intel card is 300 mm long and 110 mm tall, while the NVIDIA card is 168 mm long and 69 mm tall. Both are dual-slot designs.

The bus interface also differs: Intel uses PCIe 5.0 x8, while NVIDIA uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs are both four mini-DisplayPort connections, but Intel provides mini-DisplayPort 2.1 while NVIDIA provides mini-DisplayPort 1.4a.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unusual situation. The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation has comprehensive benchmark results, a 63rd percentile ranking, and an average score of 18,954 that places it within half a percent of four comparable workstation and mobile cards. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual has zero benchmark results, zero average score, and a 50th percentile ranking that reflects no measured data at all.

For workloads where benchmark scores exist, the NVIDIA card demonstrates consistent performance across modern APIs. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 83,360 and OpenCL score of 78,074 indicate strong compute and cross-platform graphics capability. The Passmark G3D score of 16,927 supports this. The legacy DirectX scores are much lower, with DirectX 12 at 71 and DirectX 11 at 138, suggesting the card is optimized for newer rendering paths.

The Intel card's architectural specifications suggest capability in specific areas: higher memory capacity (24 GB versus 16 GB), higher memory bandwidth (456.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s), higher clock speeds, and more texture and raster hardware. The 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 rate versus 12.00 TFLOPS for NVIDIA is nearly identical. The FP16 rate of 24.58 TFLOPS (2:1) for Intel versus 12.00 TFLOPS (1:1) for NVIDIA indicates Intel has a dedicated packed FP16 path that NVIDIA does not expose at the same ratio.

The data cannot support a definitive performance verdict because the Intel card has no measured scores. The database shows the NVIDIA card as a measured, active product with known performance relative to its peers. The Intel card remains an unmeasured specification sheet with promising architectural numbers but no empirical confirmation.
