Intel Arc Pro B70 32 GB GPU Tested In Games - Up To 40% Faster In Raster & 65% Faster In RT Versus B580, Trades Blows With 5060 Ti 16GB
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Intel's Arc Pro B70 32 GB GPU, based on the Battlemage BMG-G31 chip, outperforms the Arc Pro B580 by up to 41% in raster gaming benchmarks and competes closely with NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB.
- In ray tracing benchmarks, the Arc Pro B70 leads the RTX 5060 Ti by an average of 9% in some games and is significantly faster than the Arc B580, showing strong performance in both gaming and AI workloads.
- The Arc Pro B70 features 32 Xe2-HPG cores, 32 RT units, 32 GB GDDR6 memory at 19 Gbps, and a 2800 MHz clock speed, making it a powerful card especially for AI tasks with 367 INT8 TOPS.
- Although the Arc Pro B70 is priced at $949 due to its professional focus and large VRAM, a hypothetical gaming-optimized variant (Arc B770) with 16 GB VRAM priced around $400-$500 could have been a competitive alternative to the RTX 5060 Ti.
- Intel is unlikely to release such a gaming-focused variant soon due to current memory supply constraints affecting the PC consumer market.
