Graphics Performance
The Intel Arc Pro B50 scores 12,208 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Current Gen generation graphics card. It is built on the Xe2 (2024) architecture (codename: BMG-G21), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2048 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 128 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 10.65 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2600 MHz from a base of 1700 MHz.
