Alright, so I stumbled across this thing about Intel — yeah, they’re not quite giving up on this Battlemage thing, apparently. There’s this new variant in the works, and it might just shake things up in the mainstream GPU world. Or not. Who really knows with these tech giants?
Intel’s Arc B770 Desktop GPU: Unexpected Twist Incoming?
Okay, so here’s the scoop: Intel isn’t cranking out GPUs like AMD or NVIDIA are, but don’t count them out just yet. Sometime back in the mystical Q4 of 2024 (time flies, huh?), they dropped their mid-range Battlemage stuff — the Arc B570 and B580. Decent options considering what everyone else was throwing. Fast forward to now — AMD’s gearing up with their RX 9060 series and NVIDIA with the RTX 5060 line-up. Intel? Crickets. But hang on, whispers from the land of sushi, I mean Japan, hint at something brewing: a fresh Battlemage variant using this "BMG-G31" silicon magic. Possible codename? Arc Battlemage B770. Exciting, right?
Anyway, I saw some shipping lists a few weeks back — yep, real thrilling stuff — showing this BMG-G31 thing being packed off to Vietnam. Why Vietnam? That’s where Intel whips up their Limited Edition GPU wonders. So, if you put two and two together, there’s a good chance the Arc B770’s getting stitched together over there. Just saying. Feels like the B5XX series is done and dusted, so moving on seems logical.
And hey, there’s this leaker, OneRaichu (gotta love the name), who says the B770’s on the horizon. Overall, there’s this weird optimistic buzz about the Battlemage lineup. We could be looking at 24-32 Xe2 cores, a fancy 256-bit memory bus, and a whopping 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. But that could change. It’s the tech world — nothing’s ever set in stone.
So, Computex 2025 is just around the corner. If Intel’s got tricks up their sleeve, they might just let us in on it there. Or maybe not. We’ll be running around the event live, trying to catch whatever surprises Team Blue throws our way. Stay tuned, I guess?
