Intel has shared specs and performance details for new Arc Pro B series that claim to easily outdo Nvidia.
On its Pro Day 2026, alongside new Core Ultra Series 3 vPro CPUs, Intel has introduced two new discrete graphics cards for its professional portfolio, the Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65. These new GPUs are built for content creation, engineering, and, as expected, AI inferencing workloads. The company says the GPUs are optimized with a fully validated, open software stack such that the AI performance should scale from single to multi‑GPU deployments.
Under the hood, the Arc Pro B70 and B65 are built on Xe2 design and offer up to 32 Xe cores and 32GB of VRAM; both cards, Intel notes, are tuned for multi-user and multi-agent AI workloads. The company highlights the strong price-to-performance ratios for inferencing throughput across workstation and edge deployments.
According to Intel, the new Arc Pro B-series performance-wise delivers:
- Up to 2.2x larger context windows with the Intel Arc Pro B70 versus the competition.
- Up to 6.2x faster responses in multi-agent/multi-user workloads with the Intel Arc Pro B70 versus the competition.
- Up to 2x tokens per dollar performance with the Intel Arc Pro B70 versus the competition.
If you are wondering what kind of competition Intel is talking about, the company has compared its GPUs head-to-head with Nvidia's RTX Pro 4000.
In terms of availability, the Arc Pro B70 will be available starting March 25, 2026, both as an Intel-branded card and also through add-in board (AIB) partners like ARKN, ASRock, Gunnir, Maxsun, and Sparkle.
In terms of pricing, the Intel-branded B70 will start at $949, while partner pricing will vary by configuration. The Arc Pro B65 is scheduled for release in mid-April 2026 though there will be no Intel-branded variant for the smaller sibling.
