Intel Intros New GPUs for AI and Workstations at COMPUTEX 2025

Reporting from Taipei, Taiwan:  Intel marked a significant milestone at COMPUTEX 2025, celebrating 40 years of technological collaboration in Taiwan while unveiling groundbreaking advancements in AI and graphics processing. The semiconductor giant introduced a suite of new products designed to empower professionals and developers, headlined by next-generation GPUs, expanded AI accelerators, and innovative AI development tools.

The centerpiece of Intel’s announcement was the introduction of two new professional-grade GPUs – the Intel Arc Pro B60 and B50. Based on the cutting-edge Xe2 architecture, these workstation-class graphics processors feature Intel’s Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI cores alongside advanced ray tracing capabilities. The B60 model boasts an impressive 24GB of memory, while the B50 offers 16GB, with both designed to handle demanding AI inference workloads and complex professional applications.

Intel revealed these GPUs will support multi-card configurations through a new Xeon-based platform codenamed Project Battlematrix, capable of supporting up to eight Arc Pro B60 GPUs for handling AI models with up to 150 billion parameters. The company emphasized the cards’ versatility, noting compatibility with both consumer and professional drivers on Windows, while Linux systems will benefit from a containerized software stack to streamline AI deployments.

Complementing its GPU offerings, Intel announced expanded deployment options for its Gaudi 3 AI accelerators. The company introduced PCIe card versions of Gaudi 3 for flexible integration into existing data center infrastructure, along with rack-scale reference designs supporting configurations of up to 64 accelerators per rack. These rack-scale solutions feature 8.2 terabytes of high-bandwidth memory and incorporate liquid cooling technology to optimize performance and total cost of ownership.

In a move to empower developers, Intel made its AI Assistant Builder framework publicly available on GitHub. This lightweight, open software platform enables the creation of custom AI agents optimized for Intel-based systems. The tool has already seen adoption from major hardware partners, with Acer and ASUS showcasing implementations at COMPUTEX.

“Over four decades, our partnership with Taiwan’s technology ecosystem has driven innovations that transformed computing,” said Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. “As we celebrate this anniversary, we’re reinforcing our commitment to delivering the advanced silicon and software solutions that will power the next generation of AI applications.”

The Arc Pro B60 GPU will begin sampling with board partners including ASRock, Sparkle, and Gunnir in June 2025, while the B50 model will reach retail channels in July. The Gaudi 3 PCIe accelerators are scheduled for release in the second half of 2025.

These announcements underscore Intel’s strategic focus on providing open, scalable solutions for AI development and professional computing workloads, positioning the company as a key enabler of the rapidly evolving AI hardware landscape.
