ASUS launches first Intel Arc Pro B70 card: 32GB ECC VRAM, 367 TOPS
ASUS has introduced its first Intel discrete GPU, the UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 32GB GDDR6, aimed at AI inference and workstation workloads — marking the vendor's return to Intel's add-in card lineup after skipping several generations. The card uses the Xe2-based Big Battlemage GPU with 32 Xe cores, 256 XMX AI engines, 32GB of GDDR6 ECC memory, 608GB/s bandwidth, PCIe 5.0 x16 and a 310W typical board power; ASUS rates INT8 throughput at up to 367 TOPS. ASUS says it supports frameworks including vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, PyTorch, OpenVINO, oneAPI and Vulkan, and that up to four cards can be combined for 128GB of total memory to run larger models. ASUS has not published a price; IT之家 notes comparable Arc Pro B70 cards typically sell for about $1,299 to over $2,000.
A 32GB ECC card that pools memory across up to four GPUs gives local-inference and small-workstation buyers an alternative to Nvidia.
