Intel's Arc Pro GPU journey began with the first-generation Alchemist A-series products, and last year, the company introduced its Battlemage B-Series products. The first generation of products was aimed at the budget segment, offering good perf/$, and while the positioning continues with the Battlemage lineup, it looks like Intel is slightly moving towards a higher-end segment with its Arc Pro B60, B65, and B70 series. This move comes at a time when AI is the talk of the town, and local AI agents are becoming more and more popular. Also, Intel's recent workstation lineup, the Xeon 600 series, makes getting […]

It's good to see even workstation Intel Arc GPUs being able to play Crimson Desert, but the game shows some weird behavior. Crimson Desert Now Supports Intel Arc Pro B70 Workstation GPU, But Shimmering Ruins the Experience Except on Ultra Settings After nearly three weeks of launch, the latest Pearl Abyss title Crimson Desert received support for Intel Arc GPUs. The official notes for the latest game patch revealed that the game should now run on Intel Arc discrete and integrated graphics cards, and should also bring the XeSS 3 and Frame Generation support. Since Arc GPUs are categorized into […]

With limited reviews available, you will hardly hear about the Arc Pro B70's performance. Here's a sneak peek into the analysis by Hardware Luxx. Hardware Luxx Intel Arc Pro B70 Review Reveals GPU's Performance Against Its Competitors Intel's flagship workstation Big Battlemage GPUs were released roughly two weeks ago, but since then, we have hardly seen any reviews for the Arc Pro B65 and the Arc Pro B70. It appears that the GPUs don't have good availability, and similar to what we heard about the Arc Pro B60 last year, both the newer GPUs may not be that abundant in […]

Maxsun has officially launched its new Arc Pro B70 series graphics cards, built in partnership with Intel. These new GPUs are made for AI work, content creation, and other heavy tasks. The company says this new series brings better performance, more memory, and improved software support compared to the earlier models.

The biggest highlight is the large 32GB VRAM. This helps users run big AI models and handle complex projects without running into memory issues. With 32 Xe cores, the card is designed to keep performance stable even during long workloads.

Maxsun has also improved how memory is used. With special settings from Intel Arc Pro, the GPU can reduce memory usage during AI tasks. This means users can get good performance without needing extra hardware, which can help save money.

The Arc Pro B70 cards also support PCIe 5.0 x16, which improves communication between multiple GPUs. This is useful for users who want to build powerful systems with more than one graphics card. The dual-slot design also makes it easier to install multiple GPUs in one system.

In terms of raw performance, the Arc Pro B70 series offers up to 608 GB/s memory bandwidth and up to 367 TOPS of AI power. This allows faster AI processing, smoother rendering, and better video work.

On the software side, the GPU supports tools like PyTorch and comes with ISV certifications for stability in professional apps. It also supports vLLM for large AI models and uses Docker to make setup simple and quick.

For display, users get three DisplayPort 2.1 ports and one HDMI 2.1a port. This allows multiple high-quality displays without losing image clarity.

Maxsun is offering two versions of the card. The Turbo version uses active cooling with a fan and vapor chamber, while the fanless version is made for server systems that rely on airflow inside the case.

With this launch, Maxsun is clearly focusing on AI and professional users. The Arc Pro B70 series brings strong performance, high memory, and flexible setup options, making it a solid choice for modern workloads.

Intel has introduced its latest commercial client portfolio, led by the new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and a pair of professional‑grade Arc Pro GPUs. The lineup targets business laptops, desktops and workstations, with a focus on efficiency, security and as you would expect in 2026, AI‑accelerated workloads.

The Core Ultra Series 3 processors are built on Intel’s new 18A manufacturing process. These chips aim to deliver higher performance per watt, improved integrated graphics and expanded on‑chip AI acceleration.

In the slides below you can see some of the performance charts from Intel showing the performance improvement for the new Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs in a number of applications, ranging from ML Perf 1.5 and UL Procyon to Crossmark, Speedometer 3.1 and 3DMark.

For integrated graphics in the Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs, Intel is utilising the new Xe 3 architecture, offering up to 12 Xe 3 cores, led by the Arc B390 iGPU in the Core Ultra X7 and X9 models. In the slides below, Intel details the performance of this top-end iGPU in apps like Maya, Unreal Engine, Solidworks and more:

Alongside all of this, Intel has also announced new Arc Pro desktop graphics cards for workstations. The new Arc Pro B70 offers up to 32 Xe cores and 32GB of VRAM, tuned for multi-agent AI tasks. There is also going to be an Arc Pro B65 launching in April, with 20 Xe cores and 32GB of VRAM. In the slides below Intel details the performance improvement for the Arc Pro B70 versus the previous Arc Pro B60 GPU:

Finally, vPro is also receiving a number of major updates. A new certification program has been put in place to optimise application behaviour and reduce unnecessary background activity. Device IQ introduces AI‑driven analytics to help IT teams detect and diagnose issues at a faster pace, with broader integration planned for later in 2026. The company is also expanding its vPro Fleet Services, offering a turnkey, SaaS‑based activation model tied directly into Microsoft Intune for simplified deployment.

Laptops powered by Core Ultra Series 3 will begin rolling out from March 31st. The Arc Pro B70 launches today, with the B65 following in mid‑April. Intel’s new Xeon 600 workstation processors, announced earlier this year, are also now available at retail.
