Alright, so here’s the thing — Intel isn’t quite finished tinkering with their Battlemage lineup. There’s one more GPU variant brewing, and I’m not sure why, but it kinda feels like this one might shake things up a bit. Or not. Who knows.
Okay, so, Intel’s Arc B770 desktop GPU. People have been whispering (or maybe not so whispering?) that it’s already in the works with a release possibly hitting us by next quarter. I mean, Intel’s been slower than a Sunday afternoon stroll compared to NVIDIA and AMD in the desktop GPU race. But they’re sticking it out. Back in late 2024, they threw the Arc B570 and B580 into the mix — decent choices back then, I guess. Fast forward, AMD’s got their RX 9060 series and NVIDIA’s flaunting the RTX 5060. And Intel? Well, they seem like the odd one out for now, but they might just spring up with something new. Some outlet from Japan, Gazlog or whatever, is hinting at this new Battlemage variant — think “BMG-G31” silicon, likely the Arc Battlemage B770. Why do I feel like I’m cracking a code?
Bunch of shipping manifests unveiled this tidbit. Apparently, the BMG-G31 die made its grand appearance on its way to Intel’s Vietnam base, where the magic happens. I think. Vietnam’s where they cook up the Limited Edition GPUs for Intel, so yeah, odds are we’ll see this Battlemage beauty not too far down the line. Why the Arc B770? Well, because, just because — the BMG-G31 is supposed to be fancy and since the B5XX line seems tied up with a nice bow for now, logically we move on. Or maybe it’s something completely random. Who knows.
And get this, some famous leaker dude named OneRaichu (not even joking) backed up the Arc B770 chatter. Word is, it’s gonna materialize at some point. Everyone’s buzzing about the Battlemage lineup with bated breath. Expect something like 24-32 Xe2 cores, a generous 256-bit memory bus, and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. But, hey, this tech stuff morphs into AI or professional GPUs too, so don’t pin it down just yet.
Oh, and let’s not forget Computex 2025, where all the big tech names come to strut their stuff. Maybe Intel’s saving their ace card for that big event? Or maybe they’ll just keep us hanging. Who knows! We’ll be running around on the showfloor trying to catch all the action live. So yeah, let’s see how Intel rolls the dice — could be epic, or could be… meh.
