Intel Arc Pro B65 and B70 said to offer ‘cost-effective, high-performance’ solutions for pro graphics and AI inference workloads
Intel has unveiled the Arc Pro B65 and B70, new ‘high-end’ discrete graphics cards for workstations which are said to complete the full Arc Pro B-series GPU portfolio. This follows the launch of the mainstream Arc Pro B50 (16 GB) (read our review) and Arc Pro B60 (24 GB) last year.
Both new GPUs are full height, dual slot boards and feature 32 GB RAM with 608 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The main difference is processing power with the Arc Pro B65 featuring 20 Xe cores and delivering 197 pTOPS of performance compared to the Arc Pro B70’s 32 Xe cores and 367 pTOPS.
According to Intel, the B65 boasts similar performance to the B60 in many workloads but offers increased memory capacity and bandwidth.

The Arc Pro B65 and B70 are rated at 200W and 230W respectively, though B70 boards that are made by partners range from 160W – 290W. The price point of the Intel-branded Arc Pro B70 will be around $1,000.
Beyond established workstation workflows such as CAD and visualisation, including hardware ray tracing, Intel sees a big opportunity for these new cards in AI, for customers that want to run inference workloads locally. According to Intel, these workloads include enterprise workflow agents, local code generation, natural language search, autonomous analytics and agentic loops and iterations.
Intel says 32 GB of VRAM will enable the new cards to run larger, more advanced AI models with higher precision. Multiple cards can also be combined to handle more demanding AI workloads.
Meanwhile, Intel has announced the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor family, which includes integrated graphics up to Intel Arc B390 with 12 Xe3 cores, which is said to deliver discrete-level performance at low power – up to 120 TOPS for AI tasks.
The new chips are being deployed in business laptops and mobile workstations, such as the new Dell Pro Precision 5 and 7 and Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 7 and ThinkPad P1 Gen 9.
