Intel’s still tinkering with its Battlemage lineup — I mean, who would’ve thought they’d keep at it, right? There’s chatter about them whipping up another variant, and this one might just give the mainstream GPU scene a little… shake-up? Could be, I guess.
### So, About This Rumored Intel Arc B770 Desktop GPU Thing
You ever notice how Intel’s GPU launch speed is kinda like my Monday motivation? Not exactly turbo-charged, unlike AMD or NVIDIA. But hey, they’re sticking around. So, back in the last quarter of 2024, Intel rolled out these Battlemage mid-tiers — the Arc B570 and B580. They were alright for the time. Not earth-shattering but, you know, solid. Now, AMD’s bringing out their RX 9060 series and NVIDIA’s with their RTX 5060 series. And Intel? Well, let’s just say they’re playing catch-up.
But hang on, what’s this I read from Gazlog, a Japanese outlet? Intel’s prepping a new Battlemage variant with this mysterious “BMG-G31” silicon — probably the Arc Battlemage B770. Shipping logs spilled the beans a few weeks ago. Supposedly, this silicon was getting shipped to Vietnam, where Intel kinda makes their Limited Edition GPU goodies. So, this B770 might not be just a figment of our imagination.
And here’s a fun nugget: OneRaichu, this notorious leaker, says the Arc B770 is on the horizon. Makes you think — are we all just suckers for leaks and rumors? Anyway, speculation’s running wild. Folks are saying this chip could boast 24-32 Xe2 cores, a 256-bit memory bus, and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Could it be geared for AI or pro GPUs too? Hmm, that’s a head-scratcher.
With Computex 2025 around the bend, the rumor mill’s working overtime. Intel might just pull a rabbit out of a hat with their new Battlemage dGPU — or maybe not. Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see. Keeping my eyes peeled on Team Blue’s next play.
