Following its announcement at Computex 2025, Intel has officially released the new Arc Pro B50. This is the first workstation card based on the “Battlemage” architecture, and it's aimed squarely at the compact, small-form-factor professional market, where power and size are key considerations.
The Arc Pro B50 (via VideoCardz) is built on the “BMG-G21” silicon and features 16 of the new Xe2 cores. This is paired with a generous 16GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 Gbps on a 128-bit bus, which provides a total of 224 GB/s of memory bandwidth. For AI workloads, Intel rates the card for a respectable 170 TOPS of INT8 compute performance.
The Arc Pro B50 features a board power of just 70W, which means it draws all of its power directly from the motherboard's PCIe slot, eliminating the need for external power connectors. The card itself is a dual-slot, low-profile design, making it ideal for SFF workstations. It connects via a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface and features four mini DisplayPort outputs, making it suitable for multi-monitor setups.
Intel has announced a suggested retail price of $349 for the card, which will be available both as a standalone product and in pre-built systems.

KitGuru says: Although it won't top performance charts, the Intel Arc Pro B50 appears to be worth considering if you're looking for an entry-level workstation card.
