Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB vs AMD RX 7900 XTX for local LLMs
5 reports on the Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB and 28 on the AMD RX 7900 XTX
Which is faster for local LLMs?
On Qwen3.8 27B at 4-bit, the Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB runs at 18.8 tokens per second (2 runs) and the AMD RX 7900 XTX at 41.2 (2 runs). Those are community reports whose engines and settings differ, so the gap is a rough sign, not a controlled measure of the two cards. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 2.1x higher on the AMD RX 7900 XTX (456 GB/s on the Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB, 960 on the AMD RX 7900 XTX).

Measured on both
Median tokens per second from plain runs (one device, one request, no speculative decoding, the whole model in the device's memory) of the same model size at the same quant level. Engines and context lengths can still differ between the runs. How to read these

Estimated by the calculator
The quant the calculator recommends for each card and its estimated speed at a 32,768-token context with 32 GB of system RAM, from memory bandwidth and the model's shape. Where a model was also measured above, the measurement wins.
