On January 27, 2026, Intel made an official announcement regarding the release of the Arc Pro B series professional graphics cards. These cards are built on the cutting-edge Xe2 Battlemage architecture and encompass the flagship B70 and the mainstream B65 models. The launch of these graphics cards is slated for the first quarter of 2026, and there's a possibility that it will align with the release of the Core Ultra 200 Plus "Arrow Lake Refresh" processors.

Tailored specifically for high-end workstations, this series places a strong emphasis on elevating ray tracing and AI performance. Both the B70 and B65 models come packed with 32GB of GDDR6 memory and feature a 256-bit memory interface. Moreover, they support ECC error correction, a crucial feature that caters to the stringent demands of high-load tasks. These tasks include 8K video editing, ultra-large-scale urban modeling, and intricate weather simulations.

The Arc Pro B70 stands out with its fully-enabled BMG-G31 GPU core, which is equipped with 32 Xe2 cores (equivalent to 4096 FP32 cores). This configuration enables it to deliver double the performance of the Arc B580. On the other hand, the Arc Pro B65 is armed with 20 Xe2 cores and 12GB of memory. Due to its lower power consumption and cost-effectiveness, it emerges as the top pick for small-to-medium design studios and university labs.

In addition to these hardware features, Intel has forged close partnerships with software vendors such as Adobe and Autodesk. The goal is to ensure that the Arc Pro B series benefits from hardware acceleration optimization in mainstream professional applications. Furthermore, Intel provides enterprise-grade driver support, which includes long-term stability testing. This approach is designed to guarantee consistent and reliable hardware performance over an extended period.
