ASUS has listed the UGen Arc Pro B70 32 GB on its website, marking the company's first Intel Arc graphics card. ASUS skipped both the Alchemist and Battlemage consumer generations, with its last Intel discrete card being the 2021 Iris Xe DG1-4G. The card is positioned under ASUS's UGen AI accelerator lineup, alongside the UGen300 USB AI accelerator shown at CES 2026.
ASUS has not announced pricing or a release date. Intel launched the Arc Pro B70 at $949 in March, though US retail listings now approach $1,300. The ASUS card features the full "Big Battlemage" BMG-G31 die with 32 Xe2 cores, 256 XMX engines, and 32 GB of GDDR6 ECC memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 608 GB/s bandwidth.
It operates at a 2,800 MHz boost clock, up to 367 INT8 TOPS, and 290 W board power. The dual-slot blower cooler supports multi-GPU configurations, with four cards combinable for 128 GB VRAM capable of handling models up to 120 billion parameters. ASUS joins ASRock, Sparkle, and Maxsun in offering B70 models, where pricing will determine market success.
