Intel Xe2-Based Arc Pro B50 GPU is Now at the Top of the Best-Selling Workstation GPUs List on Newegg, Priced at Just $349
The Arc Pro series offers impressive specs for a budget-friendly price. The Arc PRO B50 uses a cut-down BMG-G21 GPU to deliver 16 Xe2 GPU cores.
The card has begun appearing in various retail stores like Newegg and B&H, making it accessible worldwide. At $349, the Arc Pro B50 is the cheapest modern workstation GPU, offering the highest VRAM capacity. It’s been less than a week, yet it’s already topping the best-sellers list on Newegg.
The GPU features a 128-bit memory bus and PCIe 5.0 interface (capped at x8), retaining its original MSRP of $349 despite high demand. Its 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM capacity makes it an appealing choice for budget workstation builds, fitting most small form factor cases.
While it has a weaker ecosystem compared to NVIDIA GPUs, the Arc Pro B50’s high VRAM, power efficiency, and affordable price make it an attractive option for budget workstation systems.
