Intel Arc Pro B70 workstation GPU benchmarks: 2x Arc B580, competitive with RTX 5060 Ti

Intel's Arc Pro B70 workstation GPU with 32GB VRAM has been benchmarked, delivering roughly twice the performance of the Arc B580 and beating NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti in some game titles. The part targets professional graphics workloads and represents a pushback against Nvidia's dominance in the accelerator segment.

The B70's results suggest Intel's discrete GPU strategy is finding traction in mid-tier workstation segments where Nvidia's pricing commands a premium. Availability and driver maturity remain limiting factors for enterprise adoption.
