# Debut Enterprise GPU Releases Intel Released the Arc Pro B50 as a Non-Consumer Card By Colin Smith | Published 2025-09-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-pro-b50 References: [kitguru.net](https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/joao-silva/intel-officially-launches-arc-pro-b50-graphics-card/) & [intel](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/242615/intel-arc-pro-b50-graphics/specifications.html)  The [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intel-arc-b570) Arc Pro B50 is the company’s first workstation graphics card built on the “Battlemage” BMG-G21 architecture, targeting [small-form-factor professional systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmktec-evo-x2). It integrates 16 Xe2 execution cores alongside 16 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 Gbps on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224 GB/s of memory bandwidth. For AI inference tasks, the card achieves up to 170 TOPS of [INT8](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmktec-evo-t1) compute performance. Despite its capabilities, the B50 maintains a low board power of 70 W, drawing all power through the motherboard’s PCIe slot and eliminating the need for additional power connectors. The dual-slot, low-profile design and PCIe 5.0 x8 interface make it well suited to compact workstation enclosures. Connectivity on the Arc Pro B50 includes four mini DisplayPort outputs, supporting multi-monitor workflows essential for professional applications. Intel has set a suggested retail price of USD 349, and the card will be offered both as a standalone SKU and pre-installed in OEM systems. While it does not lead raw performance charts, the B50 provides a balanced entry-level workstation solution for users requiring modest graphics, display, and AI compute capabilities in space-constrained builds.
