Intel unveiled two new professional-grade Arc Pro B-series GPUs, the Arc Pro B60 and Arc Pro B50, at Computex 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan, targeting creators, developers, and engineers.
The Arc Pro B60 integrates 20 Xe2 cores and features up to 24GB of dedicated memory. Intel positions this model primarily for workstations performing AI inference tasks.
The Arc Pro B50 is equipped with 16 Xe2 cores and provides up to 16GB of memory, designed for workstations focused on graphics-intensive operations.
Both GPUs leverage the PCI Express 5.0 interface and support both Windows and Linux operating systems. They are certified by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to ensure compatibility with major industry software applications. For Windows, Intel offers both performance-oriented general drivers and stability/compatibility-focused professional drivers. On Linux, the GPUs support a container-based software stack.
In conjunction with the new GPUs, Intel also introduced Project Battlematrix, a GPU platform built upon Intel Xeon processors. This platform is designed to accelerate AI development processes and can accommodate up to eight Arc Pro B60 24GB GPUs, enabling a combined memory pool of 192GB. Project Battlematrix is capable of running large AI models composed of up to 150 billion parameters.
Vivian Lien, Head of Intel Client Graphics, stated that the Arc Pro B-series, utilizing the advanced features of the Xe2 architecture and a robust software ecosystem, will enhance accessibility for small and medium-sized businesses, individual professionals, and entry-level developers.
The Arc Pro B60 is priced at approximately 299. Major graphics card manufacturers, including ASRock, Nir, Lanner, Maxsun, and Onyx, are expected to begin supplying Arc Pro B-series products, particularly integrating the Arc Pro B60 into workstations emphasizing inference performance, starting in July.
