Alright, so picture this: Intel’s still in the game with their Battlemage lineup. Yeah, they’re not ready to throw in the towel just yet — word on the street is they’re cooking up something new, something that might shake things up in the GPU world.
## Intel’s Rumored Arc B770 Desktop GPU: What’s Going On?
Okay, so Intel’s got this habit of dropping desktop GPUs, not as fast-paced as AMD or NVIDIA, but hey, they’re in it. Last we heard, they rolled out those mid-tier Battlemage thingies, the Arc B570 and Arc B580, way back, like Q4 2024? Decent options against the competition then — whatever that means. But now, with AMD and NVIDIA gearing up their new series, Intel’s got zilch to match. Yet.
Here’s where it gets spicy. Some Japanese outlet, Gazlog, spilled the beans that Intel’s got a new Battlemage variant up their sleeve, around this “BMG-G31” silicon. Probably talking about the Arc Battlemage B770, maybe? Why do we care? Well, shipping manifests — yeah, those thrilling shipping documents — revealed that BMG-G31 silicon was on the move, heading to an Intel spot in Vietnam. The mystery builds, right? Betcha they’re piecing together the Arc B770 there. Given Intel Vietnam handles those flashy Limited Edition GPUs, it’s a decent guess we’ll see this new Battlemage toy pretty soon.
So, why the Arc B770, you ask? Honestly, it’s all speculation, but if BMG-G31’s meant for the high-end and Intel’s closed the book on their B5XX lineup, then like, what else could it be?
And, oh, this leaker, OneRaichu (seriously, who are these people?), mentioned the Arc B770 will see daylight soon. Feels like there’s some buzz around their Battlemage stuff. Rumor has it, we might see this die variant rocking something like 24-32 Xe2 cores, a 256-bit memory bus, and — wait for it — 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. But hey, it might morph into AI or pro-GPUs. Who really knows?
With Computex 2025 just around the bend in a few weeks, you bet we’re itching to catch whatever Intel’s got up its sleeve right there on the ground. Fingers crossed for a surprise outing of this new Battlemage dGPU. But I guess we just sit tight and see — waiting to see how Team Blue spins this tale.
