Arc Pro B65

The Arc Pro B65 is Intel's mid-range Battlemage (Xe2-HPG) professional GPU, announced alongside the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026. Positioned between the Arc Pro B60 and the flagship B70, it uses 20 Xe2 cores on TSMC's N5 process and pairs them with the same 32GB ECC GDDR6 framebuffer and 256-bit memory interface as the B70, giving it the largest memory capacity in the B65 price bracket.

The card delivers 12.3 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput at a 2400 MHz boost clock with 200W TDP on a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. Its 20 Xe2 cores include 20 ray tracing units and 160 XMX AI engines, running Intel's Arc Pro certified professional driver stack with ISV certifications maintained independently from the consumer Arc driver branch. Memory bandwidth is 608 GB/s via the 256-bit GDDR6 interface.

The Arc Pro B65 is aimed at professional AI inference, high-VRAM content creation, 3D rendering, and visualization workloads where 32GB of ECC-protected memory capacity is the primary requirement but the budget falls short of the B70. Its 32GB framebuffer matches the B70's at a lower compute throughput and power draw, making it a practical choice for memory-bound workloads in dual-slot standard tower workstations.
