Sparkle Readies Passive, Blower, and Water-Cooled Arc Pro B60

[AleksandarK]

Sparkle has quietly revealed that it will offer three versions of its upcoming Arc Pro B60 graphics card, designed to meet the varying needs of professional users. The first model employs a familiar blower‐style cooler that exhausts heat from the rear of the chassis, while a fully passive variant relies on cooling from case/server/workstation fans. A liquid‐cooled edition, set for a later release, promises the lowest possible temperatures under sustained load. At its core, the Arc Pro B60 is powered by Intel's new workstation‐class "BMG-G21" GPU, featuring 160 XMX AI engines capable of delivering 197 TOPS at INT8 precision, 20 Xe cores, 20 ray‐tracing units, and a peak graphics clock of 2,400 MHz. It is equipped with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit interface, yielding up to 456 GB/s of bandwidth, and the card's dual-encoder Xe media engine supports modern codecs, including AV1.

All three cooling configurations share a total board power of 200 W supplied via a single 8-pin PCIe connector and include four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs capable of driving displays at up to 8K resolution at 120 Hz with HDR and Display Stream Compression. The blower and passive models were pictured in Sparkle's press release, showing a compact 289×120×42 mm, a two-slot design that should fit most workstations, while the details of the water-cooled version remain mysterious until closer to its debut. No pricing information is available for now.

Might be more than that given its targeting professional market with certified drivers.

Yeah I doubt their MSRP price. I mean their first gen PRO cards, the A60 was expected at MSRP $175......came to EU at €350-400 almost a year later after "the paper launch".

Actually passive intel GPUs makes a lot of sense for HTPC and other applications, if they only had very low IDLE power!
