Sparkle is planning a trio of Arc Pro B60 graphics cards built on the Intel Battlemage architecture: a 24GB blower-cooled model, a 24GB passive-cooled variant, and a 48GB dual-GPU card with traditional fan cooling. This makes the second company with plans for a dual-GPU version of the B60, with Maxsun being the first.
Sparkle has joined the dual-GPU club and announced three Arc Pro B60 graphics cards targeting professionals in AI, engineering, and media production, all built on Intel’s Battlemage architecture.

Maxsun was first to do so after Intel revealed the Arc Pro B50 and B60 GPUs at Computex 2025. Maxsun combined two B60s into the Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo, a dual-GPU card with 48GB GDDR6 memory.
Sparkle’s new lineup features a 24GB blower-cooled model, a 24GB passive-cooled variant, and a 48GB dual-GPU card with traditional fan cooling. The Arc Pro B60 series targets workstation and AI inference applications rather than gaming, offering superior memory capacity compared to consumer alternatives like the Arc B580’s 12GB maximum.
Each B60 GPU provides 24GB of GDDR6 memory, while the dual-GPU configuration combines two processors on a single board for 48GB total. These processors utilize independent memory channels without pooling memory or dividing rendering tasks, contrasting with gaming-focused multi-GPU implementations.
The dual-GPU configuration utilizes one PCIe 5.0 x16 connection, with each processor accessing eight lanes independently. Sparkle’s implementation represents the second dual-GPU Arc Pro solution following Maxsun’s 400W design. The Taiwanese manufacturer specifies 300W total board power for the dual-GPU model, compared to 200W for single-GPU versions.
While 48GB card specifications remain under development, both configurations incorporate 20 Xe cores and 160 XMX AI engines per processor, delivering high-throughput int8 performance reaching 394 TOPS. The architecture includes ray-tracing capabilities and AV1 acceleration through Intel’s Xe media engine.
The passive configuration targets server and enterprise installations, and will likely exclude DIY availability. As VideoCardz notes, similar strategies have been adopted by other manufacturers, including ASRock.
Linux multi-GPU support and OneAPI compatibility position these cards favorably for scalable AI implementations. Professional drivers ensure stable performance with industry software, while consumer drivers provide flexibility for gaming capabilities and lighter applications.
Sparkle’s Arc Pro B60 cards are scheduled for release later in 2025 and pricing is expected to be announced then.
