Overview
- Intel’s WHQL Graphics Driver 32.0.101.8629 adds official Gaming Support for the Arc Pro B70 and B65.
- Arc Pro B70 features 32 Xe2 cores, 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, and a $949 starting price as an inference-focused workstation card.
- Coverage notes the G31 chip beats the G21 on paper yet is still expected to fall short of NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 in gaming performance.
- Release notes list open bugs across Intel Arc cards and Core Ultra chips, including crashes in Star Citizen and The Finals and visual glitches in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Dune: Awakening.
- Independent testing remains limited, though one review measured about 180 W per B70 in AI inference and roughly 720 W for a four-card setup.
