Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | Intel - Arc B570 | AMD - Radeon RX 9060 |
|---|---|---|
| Ray tracing cores | 18 | 28 |
| CUDA / Stream cores | 2304 | 1792 |
| VRAM | 10 GB | 8 GB |
| Memory bus | 160 bit | 128 bit |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 8800 | 10800 |
| Boost clock | 2750 MHz | 3070 MHz |
Between the Arc B570 and Radeon RX 9060, the Arc B570 comes out ahead in cuda / stream cores / vram, while the Radeon RX 9060 wins on ray tracing cores / 3dmark time spy. Overall, the Arc B570 scores 57.8 and the Radeon RX 9060 scores 59.7 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (57.8 vs 59.7). The decision is not about overall quality — both clear the bar — it is about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Arc B570 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are cuda / stream cores, vram, memory bus. The single most decisive one: CUDA / Stream cores — 28.57% more. 2304 vs 1792.
Pick the Radeon RX 9060 if you care most about ray tracing cores / 3dmark time spy. Its strongest claims are ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, boost clock, among others. The single most decisive one: Ray tracing cores — 55.56% more. 28 vs 18.
Both ship with comparable dlss, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
Which should you buy: Intel - Arc B570 or AMD - Radeon RX 9060?
AMD - Radeon RX 9060 leads the current Mars Score by 1.9 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare vram, cuda / stream cores, boost clock, tdp against the way you will actually use the product.
