Intel Arc Pro B60 vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Comparison

Intel Arc Pro B60 and NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server represent two distinct approaches to professional graphics. The Intel card is a compact, display-equipped workstation solution built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, while the NVIDIA part is a server-oriented accelerator with no display outputs, using the Blackwell 2.0 architecture. The database contains benchmark scores for the Intel card, while the NVIDIA card has no recorded benchmark results, so the comparison relies on architectural and specification data.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc Pro B60 wins in scenarios where its display connectivity and compact physical profile are essential. It provides four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, making it suitable for direct display attachment in workstation or multi-monitor configurations. Its dual-slot design with a length of 167 mm and height of 69 mm fits into smaller chassis, and the single 8-pin power connector draws from a suggested 550 W power supply. The card’s 24 GB GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which supports texture-heavy workloads. Its base clock of 2000 MHz and boost clock of 2400 MHz are higher than the NVIDIA card’s clocks, though the NVIDIA part reaches a similar boost frequency.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server wins in raw compute throughput and memory capacity. It packs 10,496 shading units, 328 texture mapping units, 112 render output units, 82 ray tracing cores, and 328 tensor cores. This configuration yields 50.70 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 792.1 GTexel/s texture rate. The 32 GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus achieves 800.3 GB/s bandwidth, nearly double the Intel card’s bandwidth. The NVIDIA part also has a higher transistor density at 120.6M per mm², compared to Intel’s 72.1M per mm², and a larger die size of 378 mm². Its single-slot design and 165 W TDP with a 16-pin connector and suggested 450 W power supply suit dense server environments. The absence of display outputs confirms its server focus, where compute and memory capacity matter more than display functionality.

The Verdict

The data indicates two different purchasing directions. For workstation users who need direct display output, the Intel Arc Pro B60 is the only option with native display connectors. Its four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, compact dimensions, and 24 GB memory make it a functional choice for multi-monitor professional setups. The card’s benchmark scores, including a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646 and a PassMark G3D score of 14580, place it at the 20th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 3182.

For server deployments where display output is irrelevant and compute density is paramount, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server is designed for that role. Its 32 GB GDDR7 memory, 50.70 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, and 800.3 GB/s bandwidth provide substantially higher compute capacity. The 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores support ray tracing and AI-accelerated workloads. Its single-slot, 165 W profile allows higher card density in server racks. The NVIDIA card has no benchmark scores in the database, but its architectural specifications indicate a much larger compute resource. The 50th percentile ranking and zero average benchmark score reflect the absence of recorded measurements, not a performance verdict.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list between these two cards is empty, and the win counts are zero for both. The database has no direct comparison tests, so the analysis must use individual benchmark results and specification differences.

For the Intel Arc Pro B60, the recorded benchmarks show a range of DirectX performance. In PassMark tests, the DirectX 9 score is 179, DirectX 10 is 61, DirectX 11 is 122, and DirectX 12 is 76. The G2D score is 763, and the GPU compute score is 7029. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2646 provides a modern DirectX 12 workload result. These scores place the card at the 20th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 3182. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 with an average score of 3163, a 0.6% difference, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER with an average score of 3075, a 3.5% difference. The Intel card is 0.6% ahead of the Quadro P1000 and 3.5% ahead of the RTX 5080 SUPER, while being 0.9% behind the GeForce GT 640 and 3.2% behind the GeForce 920M.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server has no recorded benchmarks, no nearest rivals, and an average benchmark score of zero. Its performance cannot be directly compared to the Intel card through benchmark data. The specification sheet shows 50.70 TFLOPS FP32, which is 4.1 times the Intel card’s 12.29 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 800.3 GB/s is 1.75 times the Intel card’s 456.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card’s 32 GB memory is 8 GB larger than the Intel card’s 24 GB. These are the largest numerical deltas between the two, but they are specification differences rather than benchmark outcomes.
