Intel's Arc Pro B70 workstation GPU is now up to 48% more expensive than it was just a month ago — 32GB Battlemage workstation card climbs toward $2,000

The Intel Arc Pro B70 workstation GPU has seen significant price increases across various regions in the past month. Originally launched with an MSRP of $949, the Battlemage card, equipped with 32GB of GDDR6 ECC VRAM, is now up to 48% more expensive than just a month ago. In the United States, the ASRock Creator variant of the card is listed for $1,299 on Newegg and Amazon, up from $999 just last month, representing a staggering 30% price hike.

B&H even lists the Arc Pro B70 for $1,779, though this is the reference design from Intel. In Germany, the price has risen from around $1,400 to $1,735, a 26% increase. South Korea has experienced the most severe hike, with the price rising from $1,334 to $1,975, a 46% increase. The Arc Pro B70's high demand for AI workloads, particularly inference, has made it a valuable asset, driving these price surges. Intel's official pricing is even higher at $1,988 before discounts.
