2025-09-08
Intel launched the Arc Pro B50, a professional GPU designed for small-form-factor workstations. Based on the Battlemage BMG-G21 GPU with 16 Xe2 cores and 16GB GDDR6 VRAM, it boasts a 70W TDP, eliminating the need for external power connectors. Its PCIe Gen 5 x8 interface ensures efficient bandwidth. The Arc Pro B50 delivers up to 170 TOPS in INT8 compute, ideal for AI inference, machine learning, and data preprocessing, while also optimizing CAD, engineering, and design software. Its low-profile dual-slot design and four mini DisplayPorts make it perfect for space-constrained workstations. Priced at $349, it offers a competitive entry point into the professional GPU market.
