Intel Arc Pro B70 and B65 “Considerable Battlemage” GPUs Launching March 25
Intel is set to unveil its Arc Pro B70 and B65 “Big Battlemage” GPUs on March 25th, targeting workstation users rather than gamers. The launch marks a significant step for Intel in the professional graphics market.
Big Battlemage Specifications
Both the Arc Pro B70 and B65 will feature 32GB of ECC GDDR6 memory Videocardz. However, they differ in core count and power consumption.
- Arc Pro B70: 32 Xe2 cores, with a power rating ranging from 160W to 290W (Intel’s design is rated at 230W) Overclock3D.
- Arc Pro B65: 20 Xe2 cores, the same core count as the Arc B60, with a 200W power rating Overclock3D.
Performance and Positioning
The Arc Pro B70’s power configuration is notably higher than the Arc B60 Dual’s 400W, even as the Arc Pro B65 maintains the same 200W rating as the B60 Videocardz. This suggests the B65 will offer a memory upgrade over the B60, while the B70 aims for increased performance.
Availability
Intel has confirmed that both cards will have AIB (Add-in Board) variants available, meaning buyers won’t be limited to Intel’s Limited Edition designs Videocardz. The exact availability and pricing of the Arc Pro B70 and B65 remain unknown.
