ASUS enters Intel Arc Pro market with workstation card

·1 min read

ASUS has launched the UGen Arc Pro B70, its first Intel Arc graphics card, targeting AI inference and professional workstations rather than consumer gaming. Built around Intel’s flagship Battlemage BMG-G31 GPU, the card includes 32 GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC and delivers a stated 367 TOPS of INT8 compute at 310W total board power.

A dual-slot blower cooler is designed for densely packed workstation and server chassis. The card supports four-way multi-GPU configurations with 128 GB of combined VRAM, which ASUS says can run models with up to 120 billion parameters. Software compatibility includes vLLM, Ollama, PyTorch with Intel’s IPEX extension, OpenVINO, and llama.cpp through SYCL and Vulkan. ASUS also published vendor-supplied benchmarks showing performance scaling across multi-card configurations.

The launch adds ASUS to an Intel Arc partner ecosystem where ASRock and Acer have been the most prominent established brands. It also broadens ASUS’s professional graphics portfolio alongside NVIDIA and AMD products. ASUS has not announced pricing; comparable Arc Pro B70 cards from other vendors typically range from $1,299 to over $2,000.
