Intel without unnecessary noise introduced the professional video card ARC Pro B50, which is already available for purchase.
The novelty differs in extremely low energy consumption – its TDP is only 70 watts, which allows you to do without additional power. The card is made in a low-profile form factor, but it takes two slots and comes with a shortened bar for compact buildings.
ARC PRO B50 is built on the BATTLEMAGE architecture and equipped with 16 XE2 nuclei. Unlike the B570 model with 18 nuclei, it received more video memory – 16 GB versus 12 GB, but with a narrower tire of 128 bits instead of 160 bits.
The card supports PCIe 5.0, but only with 8 lines, while consumer versions of the B-series still use PCIe 4.0.
Intel positions ARC Pro B50 as an affordable and energy-efficient solution for working stations and small form factor systems, where compactness and low energy consumption are important.
