Ultra-Slim Design with Workstation Performance
Gunnir has launched its latest Arc Pro B60 graphics card, codenamed 'Blue Spear,' in China. This single-slot model stands out for its slimline blower-style cooling solution and a reduced power consumption of 120W, making it an ideal choice for workstation users with limited space.
Key Specifications and Features
The Arc Pro B60 'Blue Spear' is based on Intel's Arc Xe2-HPG 'BMG-G21' GPU architecture. Unlike the reference design, which can reach 2400 MHz, this model operates at a base clock of 2000 MHz while maintaining performance within a lower power envelope (TBP) of 120 to 200W. This adjustment suggests an optimized balance between power efficiency and thermal management, particularly for its ultra-slim form factor.
Market Availability and Pricing
The card is available on JD.com for 5199 RMB (~$746 USD). Gunnir's engineering team has emphasized a focus on workstation-centric applications, ensuring that the 'Blue Spear' delivers robust performance without compromising on thermal efficiency. Additionally, Gunnir offers a two-slot variant of the Arc Pro B60, priced at 5299 RMB (~$800 USD), which adheres to Intel's reference specifications and features a more substantial cooling solution.
Comparison with Previous Models
This launch follows Gunnir's previous introduction of an Arc Pro B50 model at CES, which also showcased a low-profile design. The 'Blue Spear' series builds on this trend by pushing further into single-slot configurations, catering to users who prioritize compactness without sacrificing performance.
