Arc Pro B70 vs Radeon PRO W7800 48GB: In-Depth Breakdown

VRAM: Arc Pro B70 vs Radeon PRO W7800 48GB

With 48GB of VRAM against the Arc Pro B70's 32GB, the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB has a 16GB edge. VRAM is what determines whether a model fits without quantization at all — a 70B-parameter model in FP16 needs around 140GB, and smaller models still benefit from spare capacity. That extra headroom lets the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB load bigger models and run larger production batch sizes.

Inference Speed: Memory Bandwidth

Memory bandwidth determines how quickly data is fed to the compute units — it's the main bottleneck for autoregressive inference (token generation in LLMs). The Radeon PRO W7800 48GB delivers 864 GB/s versus 608 GB/s on the Arc Pro B70, a 42% edge. For models already loaded into VRAM, token generation speed scales closely with this number: the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB will produce tokens proportionally faster in bandwidth-bound workloads.

AI Training & Compute

FP32 throughput is the metric that matters most for training, scientific simulation, and rendering work. The Radeon PRO W7800 48GB posts 46.2 TFLOPS versus 22.9 TFLOPS on the Arc Pro B70, a 102% compute lead. Expect training jobs and heavy matrix math to finish proportionally sooner on the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB.

Price & Value

The Arc Pro B70 lists from $1,581 EUR, $1,350 EUR less than the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB at $2,931 EUR. For budget-constrained teams, the savings may outweigh the spec gap — especially if the smaller card covers your typical workload.

Which should you buy: Arc Pro B70 or Radeon PRO W7800 48GB?

Go with the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB if you need maximum capacity: it's ahead on VRAM, bandwidth, and compute, so it's the stronger fit for large models and training jobs. The Arc Pro B70 is the cheaper pick ($1,350 EUR less) — worth it if your models already fit within its 32GB and you're not running heavy inference volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Arc Pro B70 or Radeon PRO W7800 48GB run large language models?

Both can, but the Radeon PRO W7800 48GB (48GB) handles larger models without quantization. The Arc Pro B70 (32GB) works well for smaller or heavily quantized models.
