Intel Announces Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs

600 GB/s of memory bandwidth isn't anything to sneeze at.

~$1000 for the Pro B70, if Microcenter is to be believed:

Any idea if it'll be possible to mix these with nvidia cards? Adding 32GB to a single 3090 setup would be pretty nice.

Where's the A310 / A40 successor? Gimme some SR-IOV in a slot-powered, single-width, low-profile card.

I think this shows a shift in model architecture. MOE and similar need more memory for the compute available than just one big model with a lot of layers and weights. I think this is likely a trend that will accelerate. You build the trade-off in which encourages even more experts which means more of a tradeoff, so more experts.....

New cards in 2026, and targeting Vulkan 1.3?!

32GB of vram for a decent price? I wonder if these will work well for VR, because vram is my current main issue.

Both have 32gb vram. Could be a pretty compelling choice.

Too little too late, classic Intel

Anyone running an ARC card for desktop Linux who can comment on the experience? I've had smooth sailing with AMD GPU's but have never tried Intel.

Wake me when they wake up and release a middling card with 128GB memory.

Since they fired the entire Arc team and a lot of the senior engineers already updated their Linkedins to reflect their new positions at AMD, Nvidia, and others, as well as laying off most of their Linux driver team (GPU and non-GPU), uh...

WTF?

Not sure why you'd want this over an apple setup. M4 max is 545GB/s of memory bandwidth - $2k for an entire Mac Studio with 48GB of RAM vs 32 for the B70.
