Intel’s new GPU drivers for Arc Pro: Q2 2025/32.0.101.6862 release

Intel has quietly released new workstation drivers, and after checking the release notes, there’s no sign of the Battlemage GPUs.



At Computex, Intel announced the Arc Pro B50 and B60 graphics cards, marking an important milestone. For the first time, Intel offers desktop GPUs with up to 24 GB of memory. Even more interesting is that Intel will allow board partners to customize the design, similar to what they allow for the Arc B580. As a result, many believe this card is essentially a beefed-up version of the B580, which is true to some extent.

The biggest difference lies in software support. Intel has not yet confirmed whether the official Arc non-Pro graphics drivers will support the B50/B60. However, they just released their Q2 2025 drivers (July 8), which support the Arc Pro A50/A60 (based on Alchemist), but there’s no mention of Battlemage.



Officially, Arc Pro Battlemage will be released this quarter, so perhaps the nest driver release will address the new cards. 

Highlights of this Workstation Driver

The highlight of this driver update is a performance uplift across key workstation benchmarks, particularly in Chaos Enscape, Autodesk Maya, and Energy, with up to 37% improvements on built-in Intel Arc Pro GPUs and solid gains on A-series GPUs. User experience has also been refined in popular creative and engineering software, ensuring smoother workflows and fewer visual issues.
