Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU better than Intel Arc Pro B50?

Yes. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU averages 23.3% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 12,258 vs 12,208 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is a 2018 card with FSR upscaling, while Intel Arc Pro B50 is a 2025 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

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

Intel Arc Pro B50 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2018, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 5nm process instead of 14nm. 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?

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $349 MSRP, and you are getting 23.3% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.4% higher G3D Mark. Intel Arc Pro B50 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Intel Arc Pro B50 still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

When does Intel Arc Pro B50 make more sense than Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU?

Yes. Intel Arc Pro B50 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (70W vs 300W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $349 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU. The trade-off is that Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU currently gives you 0.4% higher G3D Mark and 23.3% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. Intel Arc Pro B50 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
