ASUS UGen Arc Pro B70: First Intel Arc AI Accelerator with 32 GB and Intel Xe2 Unveiled

The UGen Arc Pro B70 is based on the “Big Battlemage BMG-G31” chip. Its internal architecture features 32 Xe2 cores and 256 XMX engines. To handle the workloads and AI computations, the card is equipped with 32 GB of GDDR6 ECC memory. The memory system operates via a 256-bit interface at a speed of 19 Gbit/s, resulting in a total memory bandwidth of 608 GB/s. These specifications are designed to provide the necessary data throughput for large datasets and complex AI models.

Performance and Thermal Management

In terms of raw computing power, the UGen Arc Pro B70 delivers 22.94 FP32 TFLOPS and achieves up to 367 INT8 TOPS. The card operates at a maximum dynamic boost clock frequency of 2800 MHz. The card’s rated power consumption is 310 W, placing it at the upper end of the range specified by Intel for the B70 series. To meet this power demand, ASUS recommends a power supply with at least 750 W; the card uses a 12 V 2x6 power connector. Heat dissipation is handled by a dual-slot fan cooling system, allowing the card to occupy only two slots.

Connectors

The card offers comprehensive display and software support for high-resolution professional monitors and various operating systems.

Physical connectors:

• Three DisplayPort 2.1 ports (UHBR13.5)
• One HDMI 2.1b port
• Support for a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320 at 120 Hz
