This article provides initial Linux performance benchmarks for the Intel Arc Pro B70 Battlemage G31 graphics card. Featuring 32 Xe cores and 32GB of GDDR6 memory, the card is positioned as a high-end solution for LLM/AI workloads and professional use cases. Testing was conducted on Ubuntu 26.04 using Linux 7.0 kernel and Mesa 26.0 drivers to evaluate performance against other Intel Arc hardware.
Key testing areas include:
- AI and LLM performance via OpenVINO and Llama.cpp
- OpenCL compute benchmarks
- OpenGL and Vulkan graphics performance
- Comparison with Arc Pro B50, Arc B580, and Arc A770
