Intel Unveils Arc Pro B70 AI GPU With 32GB VRAM Starting at $949
Intel’s long‑awaited “Big Battlemage” GPU has finally arrived—but it’s built for AI, not gaming. Here’s what the new Arc Pro B70 brings and why it’s turning heads.
Intel has officially introduced its new Arc Pro B70 “Big Battlemage” desktop GPU, a long‑anticipated high‑end graphics card built primarily for AI workloads. The card comes equipped with 32GB of VRAM and up to 32 Xe2 cores, positioning it for professional and compute‑heavy applications rather than gaming.
Intel will sell a reference version of the Arc Pro B70 for $949, while pricing for partner‑designed models will vary depending on the manufacturer.
Alongside it, Intel is also launching the Arc Pro B65, which features 20 Xe2 cores. However, this model will only be available through board partners rather than as an Intel reference design.
While these GPUs are clearly aimed at AI and professional tasks, many enthusiasts may still hope to see gaming‑focused versions of Battlemage with similar specifications in the future.
Here are the full specifications below. A gaming‑oriented version of these GPUs would definitely be exciting to see.
