Quick Answers

So, is Intel Arc Pro A60 better than Radeon Pro 5600M?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 9,493 vs 9,324 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Intel Arc Pro A60 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Intel Arc Pro A60 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 6nm process instead of 7nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Intel Arc Pro A60 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $380 MSRP. Intel Arc Pro A60 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Intel Arc Pro A60 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $380 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 1.8% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $380 MSRP gets you newer hardware, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

Is Radeon Pro 5600M still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Pro 5600M is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below an unclear MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. Intel Arc Pro A60 is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
