Intel today officially launched two new Arc Pro workstation graphics cards-Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65. Both products are equipped with the BMG-G31 core of the "Big Battlemage" architecture and are equipped with 32GB GDDR6 video memory. They are mainly targeted at local AI reasoning, agent workloads, software development and professional graphics applications.
As the flagship model released this time, Arc Pro B70 is equipped with 32 Xe cores and 256 XMX engines, with a peak AI computing power of 367TOPS and a memory bandwidth of 608GB/s. Its full board power consumption ranges from 160W to 290W, and Intel's own-brand version is rated at 230W.
The product will be available on March 25 through Intel and its partners (including ASRock, Gunnir, Maxxuan, Senao, Lanner, Onix, etc.), with a starting price of $949.
Arc Pro B65 uses a streamlined BMG-G31 core, equipped with 20 Xe cores and 160 XMX engines. It is also equipped with 32GB GDDR6 video memory, with a peak AI computing power of 197TOPS and a total board power consumption of 200W. This model is expected to be launched through board partners in mid-April and will be priced lower than the Arc Pro B70. The specific price has not yet been announced.
In its promotional materials, Intel focuses on Linux-based AI inference scenarios. According to official data, Arc Pro B70 performed outstandingly in multiple tests compared with NVIDIA RTX Pro 4000:
· The context window capacity can be up to 2.2 times that of the opponent
· Increased token throughput by up to 85% in multi-user workloads
· The first token response time can be shortened by up to 6.2 times
· Up to 2x improvement in token performance per dollar earned in specific tests
In addition, in terms of professional applications, Intel claims that Arc Pro B70 can improve performance by up to 69% compared to the previous generation Arc Pro B60 in the SPECviewperf 15 test.
