Big Battlemage Is Here – Intel Unveils Arc Pro B70 & B65 GPUs, Up To 32 GB Memory & 367 TOPS For AI

Intel has finally unveiled its “Big Battlemage” GPUs, the Arc Pro B70 & Arc Pro B65, with up to 32 GB of memory for AI & Pro workloads.

Intel Expands Its AI & Pro Fleet With Big Battlemage-Powered Arc Pro B70 & Arc Pro B65 GPUs

At its Pro Day 2026, Intel finally unveiled the one GPU that we have all been waiting for. The GPU is the one and only “Big Battlemage“, and while we would’ve loved to see a gaming-oriented variant, Intel’s first outing with this GPU is for the rapidly rising AI & Pro segment. These GPUs are designed as a balance for everyday professionals and heavy-duty Pros and are part of the same Arc Pro B-Series, which has seen the likes of the Arc Pro B60 & Arc Pro B50.

The previous entries in the Arc Pro B-series family were based on the Battlemage BMG-G21 GPU with up to 24 GB of memory.

The new cards utilize the brand new BMG-G31 GPU, which is a larger chip, based on the same TSMC N5 process technology, and offering an increased number of cores and memory. Both GPUs are designed for the Pro Workstation segment, a market that is expected to reach $17B by 2029 with a 60% share in mobile and 40% share in desktops. While a small chunk compared to the Local AI inference market, which is expected to reach $250B by 2030, Intel is still catering to its Pro and Workstation markets.

So there are two graphics cards that are based on the Intel Big Battlemage GPU that are launching today. These are the Intel Arc Pro B70 and the Arc Pro B65. Let’s start with the specifications of these cards.

Intel Arc Pro B70 – 32 Xe Cores, 32 GB Memory, Up To 367 AI TOPS

The Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card is the flagship Arc B-Series offering. It features the full BMG-G31 GPU, which packs 32 Xe2-HPG cores, 256 XMX Engines, 32 RT units, and provides 367 INT8 TOPS for AI workloads. The graphics card will feature 32 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus interface. The memory is clocked at 19 Gbps, delivering 608 GB/s of total bandwidth. The GPU itself is clocked at 2800 MHz.

The graphics card will be offered in both AIC and Intel-branded variants. The power rating for the Intel-branded variant is 230W, while the AIC models can scale from 160W up to 290W. Power will be provided through a single 16-pin connector interface for the Intel-branded variant, while AICs have the choice to select the number of connectors based on their designs. Another important thing to remember is that a few AICs made multi-GPU models of the Arc Pro B60 with two BMG-G21 GPUs and up to 48 GB of VRAM. So we can expect some partners to be given the green light to produce such variants with two BMG-G31 GPUs and up to 64 GB of memory.

Some highlights of the graphics card include:

• 32 GB memory runs large AI models with higher precision & accuracy
• 256 XMX AI Engines (Intel Xe Matrix eXtensions)
• Xe2 architecture for fast content creation & AI applications
• Scalable multiple-GPU LLM Linux support
• XMX AI Engines for AI-enhanced gaming, content creation & media
• Ray tracing hardware acceleration for fast, photo-realistic renders
• Pro drivers with ISV software certifications
• Windows & Linux OS support
• Xe Media Engine – Comprehensive content creation toolkit

In terms of display, the Arc Pro B70 will feature four DP2.1 outputs by default, and supports all the latest API and hardware acceleration engines such as DX12 Ultimate, oneAPI, OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.3, OpenVINO, XMX AI Engines, RT support, AV1/HEVC/H.264/VP9 encode/decode support. The Arc Pro B70 is designed for powerful local inferencing, scalable multi-GPU deployments, and advanced software development.

Intel Arc Pro B65 – 20 Xe Cores, 32 GB Memory, Up To 197 AI TOPS

Moving over to the second GPU, the Intel Arc Pro B65 is the second graphics card to feature a cut-down BMG-G31 GPU. This is a cost-optimized solution for AI inferencing, which features 20 Xe2-HPG cores, 160 XMX Engines, 20 RT units, and up to 197 INT8 TOPS for AI computing. The GPU is clocked at 2400 MHz.

The graphics card features the same 32 GB of GDDR6 memory running across a 192-bit bus interface, and pumping out 608 GB/s bandwidth. The card is pretty much the same in terms of display and acceleration support. The main difference is that the power consumption is rated at 200W (TBP) and varies by partner.

Some highlights of the graphics card include:

• 32 GB Memory runs large AI models with higher precision & accuracy
• 160 XMX AI Engines (Intel Xe Matrix eXtensions)
• Xe2 architecture for fast content creation & AI applications
• Scalable multiple-GPU LLM Linux support
• XMX AI Engines for AI-enhanced gaming, content creation & media
• Ray tracing hardware acceleration for fast, photo-realistic renders
• Pro drivers with ISV software certifications
• Windows & Linux OS support
• Xe Media Engine – Comprehensive content creation toolkit

The Arc Pro B65 is designed for high-precision local inferencing, scalable multi-GPU deployments, and advanced software development. Both the Intel Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 are supported in Windows 11, Windows 10, and Linux Ubuntu OS.

Pricing & Availability

The Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card will be available starting 25th March, 2026, from Intel and its AIC partners such as ARKN, ASRock, Gunnir, Maxsun, and Sparkle. The graphics card has a starting price of $949 US, while AIB models will vary in pricing and designs.

The Intel Arc Pro B65 will be available starting in mid of April 2026, and will come in AIC models with pricing lower than the Arc Pro B70.
