ASUS has launched the Arc Pro B70 32GB graphics card in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This professional-grade workstation GPU is now available for purchase in these markets at a retail price of €1,799.
Why it matters
The card offers a specialized solution for local AI inference and professional workloads requiring high data integrity. By including Error Correction Code memory, the hardware aims to support reliable computation in tasks where memory errors could impact output accuracy.
The Arc Pro B70 features 32 Xe2 cores, 256 XMX engines, and 32GB of ECC GDDR6 memory with a 310W board power rating. A four-card configuration provides 128GB of aggregate memory for large-scale local processing at a total cost of €7,196.
The players
ASUS
A global hardware manufacturer known for its PC components, workstations, and high-performance server hardware.
Intel
The semiconductor firm responsible for the Arc GPU architecture and the underlying Xe2 core technology.
The details
The card utilizes a dual-slot blower cooler designed to exhaust heat through the rear of the workstation chassis, a standard approach for multi-GPU setups. It incorporates Error Correction Code (ECC) memory—a type of RAM that detects and fixes internal data corruption—to ensure stability during long-running professional tasks. Users can scale capacity by linking up to four units in a single workstation for a combined 128GB of memory.
Timeline
ASUS confirmed regional pricing and availability for the B70 in October 2026.
The Tech Race
The Arc Pro B70 is positioned against the baseline Intel reference design but prioritizes professional-grade longevity and stability. By increasing power draw to 310W, ASUS targets a specific niche of local AI inference that exceeds the performance targets set by the original reference specification.
Professional users in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland can now purchase the card for €1,799, while the price in Switzerland is listed at CHF 1,799. The card is designed specifically for workstation environments requiring multi-card scaling for large-memory local AI inference.
The takeaway
The B70 offers a high-capacity option for users needing 128GB of aggregate memory through a four-card workstation setup. Watch for third-party thermal and noise benchmarks to confirm if the 310W blower design maintains performance stability under sustained professional loads.
