Intel’s Arc Pro B65 has quietly appeared on US shelves as an ASRock‑branded workstation card. Retailing for $909.99 on Newegg, it undercuts the reference‑design Arc Pro B70 by roughly $100 and sits $90 below ASRock’s own B70 model. The B65 ships with fewer Xe cores than the B70, but retains the same 32 GB of GDDR6 memory. This pricing hints at Intel’s strategy versus Nvidia’s RTX line.

The card packs 20 Xe cores and a full 32 GB VRAM stack, while the B70 carries 32 cores with identical memory and the lower‑tier B60 matches the B65’s core count but drops to 20 GB. That VRAM gap makes the B65 about $250 pricier than the B60, highlighting how the ongoing DRAM shortage inflates workstation GPU pricing. Manufacturers face higher component costs that ripple to tags.

For professionals weighing compute against memory, the B65 offers a middle ground: fewer cores than the top‑end B70 but the same 32 GB buffer needed for large datasets and render farms. Its debut signals that Intel’s Arc Pro line will command premium prices until DRAM supply stabilizes, making cost‑conscious buyers consider the B60 or alternative GPUs. Enterprises deploying AI workloads will especially feel the memory premium.
