Intel Arc Pro B60 vs NVIDIA H20 Comparison

Intel Arc Pro B60 and NVIDIA H20 occupy different positions in the hardware landscape, and the recorded data reflects that divergence. The Intel part is a workstation-oriented graphics card with a full suite of display outputs and DirectX support, while the NVIDIA H20 is a server accelerator with no display outputs and no graphics API compatibility. The database shows the Arc Pro B60 has a complete set of benchmark results, whereas the H20 has no recorded graphics or compute benchmark scores in the current dataset. This fundamental split shapes every comparison below.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc Pro B60 and the NVIDIA H20. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the wins counters for both items are zero. As such, no side-by-side test scores exist to compare frame rates, compute throughput, or synthetic workloads directly across the two products.

What the database does provide is a full benchmark profile for the Intel Arc Pro B60. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the Arc Pro B60 scores 2646. In PassMark tests, the card records 61 in DirectX 10, 122 in DirectX 11, 76 in DirectX 12, and 179 in DirectX 9. The PassMark G2D score is 763, the G3D score is 14580, and the GPU compute score is 7029. The average benchmark score for the Arc Pro B60 is 3182.

For the NVIDIA H20, the benchmarks array is empty. There are no PassMark scores, no 3DMark results, and no compute workloads recorded. The average benchmark score for the H20 is 0, and its percentile versus all GPUs is listed at 50, which is a positional marker rather than a performance measurement derived from test scores.

Because no direct comparison scores exist, the only quantitative relationship available is through the Arc Pro B60's nearest rivals. Those rivals are all NVIDIA products, and the deltas are small. The Arc Pro B60 sits 0.6% above the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 in average score, 0.9% below the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, 3.2% below the NVIDIA GeForce 920M, and 3.5% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. These are narrow margins, indicating that in the database's aggregate scoring, the Arc Pro B60 lands within a tight band around these comparison points. The H20 has no nearest rivals listed, which means the database cannot place it relative to other accelerators using the same metric.

The data shows that the Arc Pro B60's strongest recorded result is its PassMark G3D score of 14580, which is more than double its GPU compute score of 7029. The DirectX 9 score of 179 exceeds the DirectX 11 score of 122, which in turn exceeds the DirectX 12 score of 76 and the DirectX 10 score of 61. This ordering suggests the card's legacy rasterization performance outpaces its newer API results in these specific PassMark subtests, though the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646 provides a separate modern workload data point.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B60 wins in every category where the database has recorded measurements, because the NVIDIA H20 has no benchmark scores at all. The Arc Pro B60 has measurable results in 3DMark and PassMark, while the H20 contributes nothing to the benchmark database.

In terms of physical and interface characteristics, the Arc Pro B60 provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, making it suitable for multi-monitor workstation setups. The H20 has no display outputs, which confirms its server-oriented role where rendering to a screen is not required. The Arc Pro B60 uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, while the H20 uses PCIe 5.0 x16, giving the H20 twice the interface width for data transfer to the host system.

The memory subsystems differ substantially. The Arc Pro B60 has 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The H20 has 96 GB of HBM3 memory on a 6144-bit bus, delivering 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth. The H20's memory bandwidth is roughly 8.8 times higher, and its capacity is four times larger. For workloads that are memory-bound, such as large model inference or high-resolution tensor operations, the H20's memory configuration provides a decisive advantage. For rasterization and display-oriented tasks, the Arc Pro B60's GDDR6 configuration is sufficient and its pixel rate is higher.

The compute specifications show a clear split. The Arc Pro B60 has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, with 20 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 throughput is 12.29 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 24.58 TFLOPS. The H20 has 9984 shading units, 312 texture mapping units, and 24 render output units, with 312 tensor cores and no listed ray tracing cores. Its FP32 throughput is 39.54 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 79.07 TFLOPS. The H20 delivers approximately 3.2 times the FP32 compute and 3.2 times the FP16 compute of the Arc Pro B60. The H20 also has 312 tensor cores, which the Arc Pro B60 lacks entirely, indicating a hardware specialization for matrix and deep learning operations.

Clock speeds differ as well. The Arc Pro B60 runs at a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with memory at 2375 MHz. The H20 has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 1980 MHz, with memory at 1313 MHz. Despite lower clocks, the H20's massive memory bus width and higher shading unit count produce far greater aggregate throughput.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward conclusion: the Intel Arc Pro B60 is the only one of the two with recorded graphics benchmark results, and the NVIDIA H20 has no benchmark scores in the database. For any comparison based on measured test performance, the Arc Pro B60 is the sole data-bearing product. The H20's average benchmark score of 0 and empty benchmark array mean it cannot be positioned on the same performance scale.

That said, the H20's specifications indicate a different purpose. With 96 GB of HBM3 memory, 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth, 312 tensor cores, and 39.54 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, the H20 is built for server-side compute acceleration, particularly workloads that leverage tensor operations and require large memory capacity. The Arc Pro B60, with 24 GB of GDDR6, 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth, 20 ray tracing cores, and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP32, is built for graphics rendering, display output, and workstation tasks that require DirectX and Vulkan support.

The H20 has no display outputs, no DirectX support, no OpenGL support, and no Vulkan support, per the database. The Arc Pro B60 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and has four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. For a user who needs to render frames to a screen, run graphics APIs, or drive multiple monitors, the Arc Pro B60 is the only viable option from the data. For a user who needs high-capacity memory, tensor cores, and massive bandwidth for compute workloads that do not require graphics output, the H20's specifications are the relevant data points, though no benchmark scores exist to validate its performance in the database.

The Arc Pro B60's nearest rivals are all NVIDIA products with average scores between 3075 and 3287, and the Arc Pro B60 sits within 3.5% of each. This places it in a narrow competitive band. The H20 has no nearest rivals, so no such positioning exists.

The verdict from the data is that these are not competing products. They serve different workloads, and the database only has measurable performance for one of them. The Arc Pro B60 is a graphics card with verified benchmark results. The H20 is a compute accelerator with specifications that point to server use, but no recorded test scores to confirm its real-world behavior.
