Big Battlemage goes single-slot with SPARKLE Arc Pro B70 and MAXSUN Arc Pro B65
Intel’s Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 are getting more compact partner designs at Computex. SPARKLE is showing an Arc Pro B70 32GB Blower 1S, while MAXSUN has displayed Arc Pro B65 32G Turbo and Fanless cards.
These are workstation cards, but the layout is the main detail here. Both vendors are using single-slot designs, which makes them suitable for dense multi-GPU systems. With 32GB per card, an eight-card setup would provide 256GB of combined VRAM, assuming the platform and chassis support such a layout.

SPARKLE’s Arc Pro B70 32GB Blower 1S uses the full BMG-G31 configuration. The card is listed with 32 Xe cores, 32GB of GDDR6 memory, 367 INT8 TOPS, a 2800 MHz boost clock and a 160W TBP. It also uses a 12V-2×6 power connector and a blower-style cooler, which exhausts air through the I/O bracket.
MAXSUN B65 goes single-slot
MAXSUN is showing two Arc Pro B65 32G models. The Turbo model uses an active blower design, while the Fanless version uses a passive vapor chamber cooler. Both cards are listed with 20 Xe cores, 32GB of GDDR6 memory, a 2400 MHz graphics clock, 197 INT8 TOPS, PCIe 5.0 x16 support and a 200W TBP.

The Turbo version measures 268 x 111 x 18.5 mm, while the Fanless version is shorter at 213 x 111 x 18.5 mm. Both cards use one 12V-2×6 power connector. The display output layout includes three DisplayPort 2.1 connectors and one HDMI 2.1a connector, although the Turbo card lists one DP 2.1 UHBR20 output, with the remaining DP outputs listed as UHBR10.
Intel launched Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 in March. Both cards use the larger BMG-G31 GPU and 32GB of GDDR6 memory. The B70 uses the full 32 Xe core configuration, while the B65 uses 20 Xe cores.
Neither Sparkle, nor MaxSun have confirmed release dates and pricing for these new cards. They are not yet listed on their pages.
