Computex in Taiwan is a launch pad for manufacturers to launch amazing new tech and gadgets. Intel is no stranger, and this year, they have unveiled an array of powerful new technologies aimed at accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) applications and elevating professional computing performance. With the launch of new Intel® Arc™ Pro B-Series GPUs, Intel® Gaudi® 3 AI accelerators, and the Intel® AI Assistant Builder, the tech giant is positioning itself as a key enabler of AI-driven innovation across various industries. These solutions will significantly benefit developers, creators, and enterprise customers in the U.S. looking to tackle increasingly complex AI workloads.
New Intel Arc Pro B-Series GPUs: Powering Professional Workstations
Intel’s newest GPUs, the Intel® Arc™ Pro B60 and B50, are designed to push the boundaries of AI and workstation performance. Based on the Intel® Xe2 architecture, these GPUs incorporate advanced Intel® Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI cores, offering creators, AI developers, and professionals an essential tool for high-performance tasks such as AI inference, 3D rendering, and simulation.
The Arc Pro B-Series GPUs come with impressive memory configurations, 24GB for the B60 model and 16GB for the B50, delivering the necessary bandwidth for demanding applications. Whether working on architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) designs, or training AI models, these GPUs offer scalability, versatility, and robust support for independent software vendor (ISV) certifications.
“Intel’s new Arc Pro GPUs provide scalable solutions that address both the performance and cost-effectiveness needs of professionals in the U.S.,” said Vivian Lien, Vice President and General Manager of Client Graphics at Intel. The GPUs are fully optimized for AI workloads on both Windows and Linux, making them compatible with containerized software stacks to simplify AI deployments.
The B60 will begin sampling in June 2025, with broader availability for the B50 in July 2025, providing professionals with reliable, next-gen hardware for enhanced workstation performance.
Intel Gaudi 3 AI Accelerators: Delivering Scalable AI Performance
For organizations focused on large-scale AI inferencing, the Intel® Gaudi® 3 AI accelerators offer a game-changing solution. Available in both PCIe cards and rack-scale systems, Gaudi 3 is built to support the diverse needs of enterprises and cloud service providers (CSPs) across the United States.
The PCIe version of the Gaudi 3 is optimized for data center deployments, allowing businesses to run a broad range of AI models, from smaller models like Llama 3.1 8B to large, complex models such as Llama 4 Scout. In addition to scaling with ease, the Gaudi 3’s PCIe architecture offers high flexibility for small and medium-sized enterprises that want to harness powerful AI technologies without overhauling their entire infrastructure.
For large-scale deployments, Intel’s Gaudi 3 rack-scale systems support up to 64 accelerators per rack, offering 8.2 terabytes (TB) of high-bandwidth memory for demanding real-time inferencing tasks. These systems feature a modular, open design, which is crucial for avoiding vendor lock-in and optimizing total cost of ownership (TCO).
Intel AI Assistant Builder: Empowering Developers with Custom AI Solutions
Intel is also democratizing AI development with the release of Intel® AI Assistant Builder, now available on GitHub in a public beta. This lightweight, open-source framework allows developers to build custom, purpose-built AI agents for Intel-based platforms. Designed for developers and organizations looking to create AI solutions tailored to their unique needs, AI Assistant Builder simplifies the process of deploying local AI agents on Intel-powered PCs.
The flexibility of Intel AI Assistant Builder opens up new possibilities for companies across industries, from tech startups to enterprise-level organizations. As businesses seek to enhance customer service or internal operations with AI-powered assistants, Intel’s new tool makes it easier than ever to bring these innovations to life, all while maintaining full control of the development and deployment processes.
A New Era of AI Innovation
These product announcements underscore Intel’s commitment to driving AI advancements while fostering collaboration with global ecosystems. The new GPUs and AI accelerators provide professionals and developers in the U.S. with the tools necessary to push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI and high-performance computing. By combining cutting-edge technology with the flexibility of open, modular designs, Intel is positioning itself as a cornerstone for businesses seeking to unlock the full potential of their IT and AI infrastructures.
“As Intel celebrates 40 years in Taiwan, we’re looking toward the future with a renewed commitment to our partners in the U.S. and beyond,” said Lip-Bu Tan, CEO of Intel. “These new solutions are just the beginning of what we plan to deliver to our customers, and together, we will shape the future of AI innovation.”
Intel’s new AI-driven solutions are set to make waves in industries such as healthcare, finance, gaming, and beyond, where real-time, scalable AI performance is critical. With these new launches, Intel is not just advancing hardware, it’s redefining the way AI-powered solutions are deployed and used across the world.
