Maxsun´s new Arc Pro B60 Dual graphics card has been unveiled, marking a notable entry into the workstation GPU market, specifically targeting Artificial Intelligence inference tasks. The card features two Intel Arc Pro B60 chips, each equipped with 24GB of memory, providing a combined total of 48GB. This substantial memory pool is designed to support advanced Artificial Intelligence model inferencing where large datasets and extensive parallel processing are required.
Physically, the Arc Pro B60 Dual is a robust 2-slot, full-height graphics card stretching over 30 centimeters in length. It uses a lateral-blower cooling system to manage heat from its dual GPU setup and requires a significant power supply via a 600W 12V2x6 connector. Each of the GPUs has its own dedicated display outputs, offering one DisplayPort 2.1 and one HDMI 2.1b per chip. This dual I/O arrangement hints at the card´s flexibility for complex or multi-display configurations, which may be relevant in professional environments or during model training visualization.
The engineering inside the Arc Pro B60 Dual is distinctive due to its lack of a traditional PCIe bridge chip. Instead, both GPUs interface directly over a shared PCI-Express 5.0 x16 connection, each utilizing an x8 interface segment. This design mirrors the architecture used in high-end M.2 NVMe riser cards, effectively allowing the host system to control lane segmentation. The approach facilitates scalability: up to four of these cards can be installed in a single workstation, resulting in a staggering 192GB of total graphics memory. Leveraging PCIe Gen 5´s advanced cache coherency features through CXL 1.0, the platform ties together within Intel´s Project Battlematrix, a dedicated inference workstation environment. This makes the card—and the platform as a whole—remarkably suited for data scientists, researchers, and enterprises scaling up their Artificial Intelligence workflows.
