Single-card 32GB VRAM at $1,000 cost cuts price-per-GB-VRAM by 40-80% versus NVIDIA pro silicon. 4U flagship scales to 256GB unified VRAM for 70B-class language model inference.

FREMONT, Calif. - Californer -- eRacks Systems today added Intel's recently launched Arc Pro B70 32GB workstation GPU to its AI server line, repositioning the entire AI catalog around high-VRAM inference economics. The Arc Pro B70, based on Intel's Battlemage Xe2 architecture, delivers 32 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory and 608 GB/s of memory bandwidth at $949 MSRP - roughly half the price per gigabyte of VRAM versus comparable NVIDIA professional cards.

The eRacks/AIDAN entry AI workstation, starting at $12,995, now ships with a single Arc Pro B70 32GB as the default GPU, providing a full 32 GB of inference VRAM in a 2U rackmount chassis. The eRacks/AINSLEY mid-tier ($21,995) ships with four Arc Pro B70 cards for 128 GB of unified inference VRAM across four PCIe Gen 5 slots. The eRacks/AISHA flagship ($30,995) also ships with four cards by default in a Supermicro 4U barebone chassis that supports expansion to eight cards - 256 GB of total VRAM in a single 4U server.

For language model inference workloads, the constraint is usually memory capacity rather than raw compute. A 70-billion-parameter model in 4-bit quantization fits comfortably in 128 GB of VRAM; the same model in 8-bit quantization fits in 256 GB. Until now, those configurations required NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada or NVIDIA H100 silicon at four to ten times the per-card cost. The Arc Pro B70 changes that math.

All four eRacks AI products run Linux and open-source AI stacks: PyTorch and TensorFlow with Intel oneAPI backends, llama.cpp with Vulkan or SYCL, vLLM, Ollama, and the Hugging Face Transformers library. There is no proprietary AI software lock-in, and customers own the hardware outright with no per-seat or per-token licensing.

The new defaults are available now in the eRacks configurator at https://eracks.com/products/ai-rackmount-servers/ . eRacks Systems has built custom open-source servers since 1999. Visit https://eracks.com for the full product catalog.
