Intel’s Computex 2025 showcase is relatively muted compared to last year, but the chipmaker still have new products and projects to show us this time around. Specifically for its GPU department, Intel is launching two new Battlemage-based workstation GPUs – Arc Pro B60 and Arc Pro B50.

Intel Arc Pro B60 & B50

The bigger Arc Pro B60 shares some similar specs as the consumer-facing Arc B580, including sharing the same BMG-G21 silicon with 20 Xe-cores and 456GB/s bandwidth via 192-bit memory bus. As a workstation card, the Arc Pro B60 gets double the VRAM (now 24GB), PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, and a wider range of board power, from 120W to 200W – exact values vary between each AIB designs, the chipmaker noted. Speaking of which, Maxsun has taken the design freedom that Team Blue has given them to produce this dual-GPU version of the Arc Pro B60.

For the smaller Arc Pro B50, it is further cut down to 16 Xe-cores, and you do still get pretty healthy amounts of VRAM with 16GB of capacity. This card also consumes just 70W of power, which means it doesn’t require additional power cables – the low power draw will also allow for compact HHHL designs from various AIBs. Intel lists $299 MSRP for this particular model, and given the generous VRAM, the chipmaker boasts twice the performance per dollar for this model. over both its predecessor, the Arc Pro A50, and NVIDIA’s RTX A1000.

Intel is also introducing a side project codenamed ‘Battlematrix’: this workstation will be pre-configured with up to 8x Arc Pro GPUs giving the system a total of 192GB of VRAM to work on the biggest AI models (specifically, 70B+ parameters). The entire system will be powered by a PCIe 5-capable Xeon-based system, with the software side powered by what Intel calls “containerized solution”.

For now, you can expect offerings from Intel’s AIB partners including ASRock, GUNNIR, Maxsun, Sparkle, Onix, Senao, and Lanner all taking different approaches to designing their custom Arc Pro B60 GPUs. Availability is currently projected to be Q3 this year, will full feature enablement set on Q4 this year.

Pokdepinion: VRAM is certainly generous.
