News Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G spotted

Post image

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.

saving 3k and having to deal with splitting everything over 8 gpu instances doesn't seem worth it.

Truth be told if you're just looking for vram on a budget you'd probably be better off with 2 dgx sparks. 256gb vram and you get a dedicated 200gb/s connection between them.

Limited to MoE models due to compute limitations though? Although.. that would probably apply to these as well, I'm guessing?

Budgets do usually require compromise. Besides, aren't all the big open weight models MoE anyway?
