Intel Arc Pro B60 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark database presents an unusual comparison. The Intel Arc Pro B60 carries an active production status, a 2025 release date, and a launch MSRP of 499 USD. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is marked end-of-life, launched in 2024, and had a launch MSRP of 399 USD. The Arc Pro B60 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark data in the database, showing a 20th percentile ranking across all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 3182. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has no recorded benchmarks, a zero average score, and no nearest rivals listed.

The data indicates the Arc Pro B60 is positioned as a workstation-oriented card with 24 GB of memory, while the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is a consumer gaming card with 8 GB. The Arc Pro B60's nearest rivals in the database are all older or lower-tier cards: it sits 0.6% above the NVIDIA Quadro P1000, 0.9% below the GeForce GT 640, 3.2% below the GeForce 920M, and 3.5% above the GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. These deltas place the Arc Pro B60 in a narrow performance band around those entries. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 cannot be positioned from recorded data, as the database contains no measurements for it. Any verdict must therefore rely on the specification differences and the single recorded benchmark suite for the Intel card.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc Pro B60 uses the BMG-G21 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage Pro Series generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 uses the AD104 chip on the Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40 generation. Both are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process, but the transistor counts differ substantially: the NVIDIA chip packs 35,800 million transistors, nearly double the Intel chip's 19,600 million, despite the NVIDIA die being only slightly larger at 294 mm² versus 272 mm². This results in a transistor density of 121.8 million per mm² for NVIDIA compared to 72.1 million per mm² for Intel.

The shading unit counts diverge sharply. The NVIDIA card has 4352 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 48 raster operation pipelines. The Intel card has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation pipelines. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 also includes 34 ray tracing cores and 136 tensor cores, while the Intel card lists 20 ray tracing cores and no tensor core count in the database. The Intel card's higher ROP count (80 versus 48) supports its higher pixel rate, while the NVIDIA card's higher shader count drives its FP32 throughput.

The API support is identical in the database: both cards list DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interfaces differ, with the Intel card using PCIe 5.0 x8 and the NVIDIA card using PCIe 4.0 x8. Display output configurations also differ, with the Intel card offering four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 connectors and the NVIDIA card offering one HDMI 2.1 plus three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors.

Specification Differences

The recorded specifications show clear separation between the two cards. Memory capacity: 24 GB for Intel versus 8 GB for NVIDIA. Memory type is GDDR6 for both, but the bus width is 192-bit for Intel and 128-bit for NVIDIA. Memory clocks are 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for Intel and 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA. Bandwidth is 456.0 GB/s for Intel and 288.0 GB/s for NVIDIA.

Compute throughput: FP32 is 12.29 TFLOPS for Intel and 22.06 TFLOPS for NVIDIA. FP16 is 24.58 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio for Intel and 22.06 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio for NVIDIA. Pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s for Intel and 121.7 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. Texture rate is 384.0 GTexel/s for Intel and 344.8 GTexel/s for NVIDIA.

Clock speeds: base 2000 MHz for Intel versus 2310 MHz for NVIDIA, boost 2400 MHz for Intel versus 2535 MHz for NVIDIA. Power: 200 W TDP for Intel, 160 W for NVIDIA. The Intel card suggests a 550 W power supply, the NVIDIA card suggests 450 W. Power connectors are 1x 8-pin for Intel and 1x 16-pin for NVIDIA.

Physical dimensions: the Intel card is 167 mm long, 69 mm high, and 40 mm wide. The NVIDIA card is 240 mm long, 111 mm high, and 40 mm wide. Both are dual-slot cards. The production status differs, with Intel active and NVIDIA end-of-life. Release dates are September 2025 for Intel and March 2024 for NVIDIA. The NVIDIA card's predecessor is listed as GeForce 30 and successor as GeForce 50; the Intel card has no listed predecessor or successor.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Pro B60 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104. The wins counters for both cards are zero. The only recorded benchmark data belongs to the Intel card: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646, Passmark DirectX 10 score of 61, DirectX 11 score of 122, DirectX 12 score of 76, DirectX 9 score of 179, G2D score of 763, G3D score of 14580, and GPU compute score of 7029. These results place the Intel card at the 20th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 3182.

The nearest rival data for the Intel card provides context for its measured performance. The Arc Pro B60 is 0.6% above the Quadro P1000, a professional workstation card from NVIDIA, and 3.5% above the GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. It trails the GeForce GT 640 by 0.9% and the GeForce 920M by 3.2%. These are all older or lower-tier entries, suggesting the Intel card's recorded scores cluster in a modest performance tier. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104, with no recorded benchmarks and no nearest rivals, cannot be compared directly through measured data.

The specification gap in FP32 throughput is substantial: the NVIDIA card's 22.06 TFLOPS is 79.5% higher than the Intel card's 12.29 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card also has 70% more shading units (4352 versus 2560) and 70% more ray tracing cores (34 versus 20). However, the Intel card counters with a 57.8% higher pixel rate (192.0 versus 121.7 GPixel/s) and an 11.4% higher texture rate (384.0 versus 344.8 GTexel/s). The Intel card's memory subsystem is also decisively larger, with triple the capacity and 58.3% more bandwidth.

The absence of recorded benchmarks for the NVIDIA card limits the analysis to specification-based inference. The database shows the Intel card as the only measured entry, with its nearest rivals all being older NVIDIA products. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104's percentile ranking of 50 versus the Intel card's 20 suggests the NVIDIA card sits higher in the overall distribution, but no measured scores support a quantitative delta. The recorded data confirms the Intel card's strengths in memory capacity, bandwidth, pixel throughput, and texture throughput, while the specification data indicates the NVIDIA card's advantages in shader count, FP32 compute, and clock speeds.
