Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual vs NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual or the NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation. Both GPUs have an average benchmark score of zero and a percentile ranking of 50 against all GPUs in the database. With no head-to-head benchmark entries, the wins count stands at zero for each product. This absence of recorded data means the comparison must rely entirely on the architectural and specification differences documented in the database.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual delivers a FP32 compute rating of 12.29 TFLOPS, while the NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation is rated at 15.62 TFLOPS. In raw single-precision throughput, the NVIDIA part leads by 3.33 TFLOPS, a 27% advantage. However, the Intel card counters with a FP16 rating of 24.58 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio, compared to the NVIDIA part's 15.62 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel GPU's FP16 capability exceeds the NVIDIA part by 8.96 TFLOPS, a 57% margin, which matters for workloads that can exploit reduced precision.

Texture fill rates further separate the two. The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual reaches 384.0 GTexel/s, while the NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation achieves 244.1 GTexel/s. The Intel part leads by 139.9 GTexel/s, a 57% advantage in texture throughput. Pixel fill rates reverse the trend: the Intel card outputs 192.0 GPixel/s versus the NVIDIA part's 81.36 GPixel/s, giving Intel a 110.64 GPixel/s lead, or 136% higher pixel throughput.

Memory bandwidth heavily favors the Intel card. The Arc Pro B60 Dual uses a 192-bit bus with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory and reaches 456.0 GB/s. The RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation uses a 128-bit bus with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and delivers 256.0 GB/s. The Intel part provides 200.0 GB/s more bandwidth, a 78% advantage. The NVIDIA part's memory operates at 16 Gbps effective, while the Intel part's memory runs at 19 Gbps effective, a 3 Gbps difference in favor of Intel.

Clock speeds also differ substantially. The Intel card has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a base clock of 1395 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz. The Intel GPU's base clock is 605 MHz higher, and its boost clock is 705 MHz higher. These clock advantages contribute to the Intel part's higher pixel and texture rates despite having fewer shading units.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual wins in memory capacity, memory bandwidth, texture fill rate, pixel fill rate, FP16 compute, and clock speeds. Its 24 GB frame buffer doubles the NVIDIA part's 8 GB, and its 456.0 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the NVIDIA part's 256.0 GB/s. This combination suits workloads with large datasets, high-resolution textures, or compute tasks that require frequent memory access. The 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate position the Intel card for rasterization-heavy scenes where texture sampling and pixel output dominate.

The NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation wins in FP32 compute, shading unit count, ray tracing core count, and tensor core count. Its 15.62 TFLOPS FP32 rating exceeds the Intel part's 12.29 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA GPU contains 4608 shading units versus 2560 on the Intel card, a difference of 2048 units. It also has 36 ray tracing cores versus 20 on the Intel part, and 144 tensor cores, a feature the Intel card lacks entirely (the database lists tensor cores as null). These resources favor workloads that rely on single-precision math, ray-traced rendering, and AI-accelerated operations.

The NVIDIA part operates at a 115 W TDP, while the Intel card is rated at 400 W. The NVIDIA GPU is an integrated mobile processor (IGP slot width) with no power connectors, whereas the Intel card is a dual-slot discrete design requiring a single 16-pin power connector and a suggested 800 W power supply. For mobile platforms where power and space are constrained, the NVIDIA part's lower power envelope and integrated form factor are clear advantages. The Intel card's dimensions of 300 mm length, 110 mm height, and 40 mm width confirm its desktop-oriented design.

Architecture Differences

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 RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation uses the AD106 chip based on Ada Lovelace architecture, belonging to the Ada-MW generation. Both are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but they differ in transistor counts and die sizes. The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 72.1 million transistors per mm². The NVIDIA chip contains 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die, achieving a density of 121.8 million per mm². The NVIDIA die is 84 mm² smaller but packs 3,300 million more transistors.

The Intel GPU's memory subsystem uses a 192-bit bus with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory. The NVIDIA GPU uses a 128-bit bus with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. The Intel card's memory clock is 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective data rate, while the NVIDIA part's memory clock is 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective. The bus width difference directly drives the bandwidth gap: 456.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s.

Compute resource allocation differs significantly. The Intel card has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units.
