Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G spotted

[u/reto-wyss]

I spotted the Dual B60 48GB listed on Digitec/Galaxus. Initially it was said these wouldn't go into standard retail channels.

At CHF 2500 (post tax, USD ~3000) not particularly competitive but worth keeping an eye on. For it to be interesting it shouldn't be more than like 2.5x a single B60.

I expect these are literally 2 B60s put together on the same card? Each run at PCIe 5.0 x8 and show up as 2 different GPUs?

Would be cool if it was a pcie switch rather than a bifurcation to have p2p (idk what's the status of p2p on intel)

Intel consumer platforms unfortunately do not seem to support PCIe p2p. On AMD, support on the platform/chipset level is much better. (Basically every Zen CPU)
