Intel's Arc Pro B70 workstation GPU has seen significant price increases across multiple regions within the past month. In the US, prices have risen by approximately 30%, with ASRock Creator variants listed around $1,299 and the reference design reaching $1,779. European prices have increased by about 26% to approximately $1,735, while South Korea has experienced the most substantial hike of up to 48%, with prices nearing $2,000. This surge is attributed to ongoing component shortages and the GPU's suitability for AI workloads, particularly inference, due to its 32GB of GDDR6 ECC VRAM. AI
