By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user has benchmarked the Intel Arc Pro B70 GPU against the NVIDIA RTX 5090 for running the Qwen3.8-27B large language model. After significant setup, the Intel card achieved approximately half the generation speed and one-third the prompt processing speed of the RTX 5090, but at one-fifth the cost. This suggests the Intel Arc Pro B70 offers a compelling price-to-performance ratio for users looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to high-end NVIDIA GPUs for LLM inference. AI
