Class differences between them makes this comparison less fair. However the 60D is a two-digit camera designed for those who are more serious about photography. Then 60D may beat the 650D in such matters:
ergonomics and grip size (60D more steady when held)
prism (pentaprism 60D using a lighter)
button and dial the rear wheels (needed by photographers who often change settings quickly)
additional small LCD screen at the top
a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 sec (maximum 650D 1/4000 sec)
But in some ways like the 60D 650D is able to match in terms of module AF (9 cross type points), metering module, 5 fps burst and the ability to control an external flash wirelessly. Resolution of both is the same sensor that is 18 MP. Even 650D 60D outperformed in some aspects like the maximum ISO, HDR features and of course the ability of continuous auto focus while recording video.
