It's been just about one year since Intel released their most interesting "pro" local AI gpu, the Arc Pro B50. At the time this was an un-proven GPU with seemingly limited use cases but it's turned out to showcase one of Intel's biggest wins with local AI enthusiasts looking for a great option to run agentic tasks and great compatibility with homelabs / linux.
It might not be the fastest, but it competes with the nVidia 5060ti 16gb and 5070FE and is currently one of the cheapest GPU's with 16gb of VRAM available.
