Hold onto your hats, tech enthusiasts, because Intel’s Arc Pro B60 GPUs are making a surprising retail debut—and not just anywhere, but in Australia! But here’s where it gets controversial: ASRock’s Arc Pro B60 Passive 24GB, a model explicitly labeled as ‘business only’ and ‘not for retail sale’ on their official website, has quietly appeared on Australian retailer Scorptec’s shelves for a cool $899 AUD. So, is this a slip-up, or is Intel finally opening the floodgates for DIY enthusiasts? Let’s dive in.
Published on November 9th, 2025, by WhyCry, this development marks a significant shift in Intel’s strategy. Scorptec isn’t just listing one model—they’ve got three Arc Pro B60 variants up for grabs. The star of the show is undoubtedly the ASRock Arc Pro B60 Passive 24GB, a single-slot, fanless design built around Intel’s Battlemage GPU. With 24GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus and four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, it’s a powerhouse for workstations. And yes, despite ASRock’s claims, it’s available for retail and click-and-collect, with stock expected later this month.
And this is the part most people miss: Scorptec is also offering the ASRock Arc Pro B60 Creator 24GB, a blower-cooled variant with identical core specs, already marked as in stock. For those with deeper pockets and bigger ambitions, there’s the Maxsun Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo—a dual-GPU monster packing 48GB of GDDR6, designed for AI and heavy workstation workloads. Priced at a staggering $2,599 AUD, it’s due around November 10th, though its product page is currently throwing errors.
Here’s the full pricing breakdown (Australia):
- ASRock Arc Pro B60 Passive 24GB: $899 AUD (≈ $531 USD before tax)
- ASRock Arc Pro B60 Creator 24GB: $1,049 AUD (≈ $619 USD before tax)
- Maxsun Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo: $2,599 AUD (≈ $1,534 USD before tax)
This retail rollout aligns with earlier reports from Germany, confirming Intel’s long-awaited move to make the Arc Pro series accessible to DIY builders and retail buyers. It’s a step in the right direction, though many will argue it’s overdue. But here’s the burning question: Is this Intel’s final play for 2025, or can we still hope for the Arc B770 high-end gaming GPU announcement? The silence on that front is deafening, and it’s got the community buzzing.
What do you think? Is Intel’s retail strategy a game-changer, or just catching up to expectations? And will we see the Arc B770 before the year’s end? Sound off in the comments—let’s spark some debate!
