“The Intel Arc Pro B70 is configured with 32 Xe cores (Xe2-HPG), 256 XMX engines, and 32 Ray Tracing Units. It comes with 32 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface, with 608 GB/s of bandwidth on tap. The card comes with a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 host interface. The Arc B70 offers a peak throughput of 367 TOPS (INT8). On the graphics side of things, it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.3. Compute APIs include Intel's own oneAPI, OpenCL 3.0, and OpenVINO. Its media engine supports AV1, HEVC, VP9, and H.265 hardware-accelerated encode and decode. Display outputs include four DisplayPort 2.1 ports. The card comes with power draw ranging between 160 W to 290 W depending on partner implementation (230 W for the Intel reference card). Intel will provide certified drivers for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Linux.”

Good price for a 32 GB card. I'm curious to see what the FP64 performance looks like. (Edit- Guessing it's still 1:4 like the other Pro cards, which would put it at ~5.5 TFlops of FP64, which looks pretty nice at that price)

Kinda see why they cut the consumer version, would get that would perform about the same as a 9060XT in gaming, and when it has 16GB they probably really couldn't launch it at like 400.

"Intel Arc Pro B70 Shows Up on Newegg With April Release Date and $949.99 Price​

by Cpt.Jank Today, 11:45 Discuss (6 Comments)
Intel just announced the Arc Pro B70 and B65 GPUs with the Arc Xe2 Battlemage architecture, featuring 32 and 24 Xe2 cores, respectively—see TechPowerUp's launch coverage fore more details—but it did not include information on pricing or availability. Fortunately, for those interested in the workstation graphics cards, Newegg has listed the Arc Pro B70 online, spilling the beans on price and a prospective launch date.

According to the pre-order page, the Arc Pro B70 will cost $949.99 and launch on April 24, 2026. Unfortunately, there is no listing for the Arc Pro B65 just yet, but that should launch around the same time as the B70 and will likely be priced somewhere between the B60's current retail price of $659.99 and the Arc Pro B70's $949.99 price, thanks to the increased VRAM on the B65."
 

"Sparkle Announces Intel Arc Pro B70 and Intel Arc Pro B65 Series Graphics Cards​

Press Release by GFreeman Today, 14:55 Discuss (1 Comment)
SPARKLE, a leading manufacturer of professional graphics solutions and AI computing platforms, today announced the launch of the SPARKLE Intel Arc Pro B70 and SPARKLE Intel Arc Pro B65 series graphics cards. Designed to deliver powerful AI acceleration and workstation-class graphics performance, these new GPUs expand the Arc Pro B-Series lineup for modern professional computing environments.

The SPARKLE Intel Arc Pro B70 delivers up to 367 TOPS (INT8 Dense) of AI performance, enabling accelerated AI inference, engineering simulation, rendering, and advanced visualization workloads. With powerful compute capability and large memory capacity, the GPU allows professionals to handle complex datasets and AI-driven applications with greater efficiency."
 
I know we all wanted the capitalist open platform and "standards" for modern PC's with interchangeable parts, but I have always wondered why we don't have some maverick company doing something like a modern homebased SPARC / UNIX powerhouse + graphics with some flavor of Linux.

There was a company that tried to create a "LEGO" kinda' stackable component PC where the mobo was a stacked module system that could be easily upgraded with a PSU @ bottom // then hard drives // then mobo input & output chips + ram // CPU & GPU (all seamlessly upgradable) with a common OS layer.

IDK if that was a dream I had or a real hardware company concept, but I like the idea.

that would be quite high now a day it is still the same cores as the B580 just more of them, xe2 has been typically 1:16 (not sure if it is real and sustained....) which is already quite high versus the competition say https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-pro-w7800.c4148 (1/32) or https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/rtx-pro-5000-blackwell.c4276 (1/64), seem to be AI centric marketing wise which tend to love having 4/8/16 bits more than needing 64, will see, but that would be my guess.

The normal XE2 have been 1:16' but the pro cards look like they are 1:4
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-pro-b60.c4350

Intel can do it since they're not really cannibalizing any high end products with it, as their Gaudi stuff isn't really meant for it.

wonder if they put some segmentation limit on the customer one...

Or maybe some theorical versus real ?

In the benchmark of the B50, at fp64 (which tpu also claim 1:4)
https://www.phoronix.com/review/int...e 5 of 8.,the Intel Battlemage graphics cards.

B50 was slower than the B570, despite the giant 2.662 vs 0.72 tflops figure on TPU, maybe it is different when it goes up in the stack or only for some specific 64 bits scenario/use case with windwos drivers

Could be workload, could be driver stuff, not really sure.


Also that's just me on the assumption that all the websites that list it as 1/4 rate are actually true, I keep digging and I can't really find where they get those claims from .
