Submission + - AI Inference is Coming to Your Desk
Intel has announced its Arc Pro B-series of graphics cards at Computex 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan, with a heavy focus on AI workstation inference performance boosted by segment-leading amounts of VRAM. The Intel Arc Pro B50, a compact card that's designed for graphics workstations, has 16GB of VRAM and will retail for $299, while the larger Intel Arc Pro B60 for AI inference workstations slots in with a copious 24GB of VRAM. While the B60 is designed for powerful 'Project Battlematrix' AI workstations sold as full systems ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, it will carry a roughly $500 per-unit price tag.
There's something to be said for the price point of 24 GB of VRAM for $500. Apparently, one demo included a system running the full 675B parameter Deepseek model entirely on one 8-GPU system, including 256 experts running on the CPU and the most frequently used experts running on the GPU.
