Sparkle has a new Battlemage Pro card with two GPUs and weird HDMI placement
SPARKLE has introduced the Arc Pro B60 Dual Passive SBP60DP-48G, a fanless workstation card that combines two Intel Arc Pro B60 GPUs on a single PCB. The board carries 48GB of GDDR6, connects over a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface (split between two GPUs) and is rated for up to 400W TDP (basically twice the power of single B60 card).
According to the product sheet, the Dual Passive model runs at a 2400 MHz boost clock and features 20+20 Xe-Cores, 160+160 XMX engines and a 192-bit memory interface with up to 456 GB/s bandwidth. The card uses a 2-slot design, measures 300 x 112 x 42 mm and weighs 1.52 kg, with a full-length passive heatsink and metal backplate.

Instead of the four display connectors found on SPARKLE’s single-GPU Arc Pro B60 24GB passive card , the Dual Passive model is limited to two HDMI 2.1a ports, both rated up to 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz. One HDMI port sits in the usual place on the bracket, while the second is moved to the top edge of the card , where many modern GPUs place their external power connectors.
Power delivery is handled by a 12V-2×6 connector rather than the 8-pin PCIe plug seen on many Arc Pro B60 boards. Other dual Arc Pro B60 designs often rely on a full size 16-pin connector.

SPARKLE already offers three Arc Pro B60 models in total: a blower-style card and a single-GPU passive card, with this Dual Passive as the first dual-GPU option. The company has also teased a watercooled Arc Pro B60 and a blower-style dual-GPU model, which would raise the family to five SKUs, the broadest Arc Pro B60 lineup from any board partner so far.
