Intel Announces Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs (techpowerup.com)

600 GB/s of memory bandwidth isn't anything to sneeze at.

~$1000 for the Pro B70, if Microcenter is to be believed:

Recent kernels have SR-IOV support for these chips too. B&H has them listed for $950.

When 32GB NVIDIA cards seem to start at around $4000 that's a big enough gap to be motivating for a bunch of applications.

Intel GPU prices have stayed fine, but I do wonder if they are viable for Inference if they will wind up like Nvidia GPUs, severely overpriced.

I think the B65 is priced at $650. Both supported by llamacpp I believe. With that power draw you could run two of them.

Not sure why you'd want this over an apple setup. M4 max is 545GB/s of memory bandwidth - $2k for an entire Mac Studio with 48GB of RAM vs 32 for the B70.

Both have 32gb vram. Could be a pretty compelling choice.

Wake me when they wake up and release a middling card with 128GB memory.
