Overview
The Arc Pro B50 is a compact workstation card with 16 Xe2 cores, 128 XMX engines and 16GB of GDDR6 with ECC on a 128-bit bus at 224 GB/s. It draws 70W from the PCIe slot with no power cable, carries Intel's certified Pro drivers for CAD and design applications, and launched in September 2025.
Intel's reference card is low-profile and dual-slot, 168 mm long, with four mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, so it fits small workstations. The pictured SPARKLE Arc Pro B50 Blower is a full-height, single-slot version measuring 242 x 142 x 21.5 mm, with four full-size DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and a 72W rating, which suits dense multi-GPU builds.
For AI, 16GB holds 8B to 14B models at 4-bit to 8-bit, but 224 GB/s of bandwidth makes text generation slower than on gaming cards with the same memory. In AEC Magazine's tests it was 20 to 62% faster than the NVIDIA RTX A1000 in visualization work. The interface is PCIe 5.0 x8 in a full-size slot.

Questions and answers
Still unsure? Visit the help center or message us.
Does the Arc Pro B50 need a power cable?
No. It draws 70W from the PCIe slot (72W for the pictured SPARKLE), so it works in workstations without spare GPU power cables.
Will it fit a small form factor PC?
Intel's reference card is low-profile and dual-slot; the pictured SPARKLE is full-height and single-slot. Tell us which you need when you order and we will confirm the version before shipping.
Is the Arc Pro B50 good for gaming?
It runs games, but it is tuned for professional applications and its 224 GB/s bandwidth holds it back. For gaming, the Arc B580 or B570 is better value.
Which local AI models fit in 16GB of VRAM?
Roughly, 8B to 14B models at 4-bit to 8-bit with a decent context window. A 32B model at 4-bit needs around 20GB and will not fit entirely. Expect slower generation than on gaming cards with more bandwidth.
Which brand of Arc Pro B50 will I receive?
Intel sells a reference design through partners, and partners such as SPARKLE make their own versions; we picture the SPARKLE Blower. The model can vary with supply, and we confirm it with you before shipping.
