Alongside announcing the new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake parts with vPro for commercial PCs and the Xeon 600 workstation processors, Intel finally announced their professional "big Battlemage" [1]BMG-G31 graphics card with the Arc Pro B70 as well as the Arc Pro B65.

Intel finally announced the Arc Pro B70 and B65 discrete GPUs as their newest professional graphics products. Sadly, for consumers, no non-Pro [2]BMG-G31 is announced. The Arc Pro B70 with 32 Xe cores and 32GB of GDDR6 video memory is focused on AI inference workloads, content creation, and other professional workloads.

Intel is promoting the Arc Pro B70 as up to 2.2x larger context windows than the competition, up to 6.2x faster responses for multi-agent/multi-user workloads, and up to 2x the tokens per dollar performance over the competition.

The Arc Pro B70 discrete graphics card is available starting today as an Intel branded card and through AIB partners. The Arc Pro B70 has a suggested starting price of $949 USD. The Intel Arc Pro B70 has a 230 Watt board power rating.

The Arc Pro B65 model will be available in mid-April.

That's all for now, hopefully we'll find our hands on the new Intel hardware soon for Linux support and performance benchmarking.
