So, Intel? Yeah, they’re not done messing around with the Battlemage stuff yet. There’s this buzz—I don’t even know why I care, I just do—that a new version might pop up and shake things up for regular folks wanting to snag a decent GPU.
**What’s up with Intel’s Arc B770 GPU—could hit shelves soon-ish**
Okay, so Intel’s still kinda stumbling compared to AMD and NVIDIA’s frenzy pace in the GPU race. Back in late 2024, they dropped these middle-of-the-pack things—the Arc B570 and B580. People thought they were alright, given the alternatives. But now, AMD and NVIDIA are lining up the RX 9060 and RTX 5060 series, and Intel? It’s like they’re chilling on the sidelines. Or maybe not. I saw somewhere—yeah, in some Japanese rag, Gazlog I think—that Intel’s cooking up something new, using this “BMG-G31” tech, possibly making it the Arc Battlemage B770. Makes you wonder, right?
So, some shipping papers spilled the beans a few weeks ago. They showed some BMG-G31 chips cruising towards Intel’s spot in Vietnam. That place handles their fancy Limited Edition GPUs. Sounds like the B770’s next, because, well, their B5XX game seems kinda done for now. Thinking out loud here, but doesn’t it make sense?
By the way, a photo was floating around—but why did it catch my eye? It just did. Some leaker, OneRaichu, confirmed the B770’s existence. Apparently, it’ll have 24-32 Xe2 cores, 256-bit memory, and 16 GB of GDDR6. Word is, this tech could end up in AI or pro GPUs, too. So yeah, nothing’s set. Is it just me, or does it sound like they’re playing a long game here?
And, all eyes on Computex 2025, kicking off soon. We’re gonna be there—boots on the ground, mics ready. Who knows, Intel might just roll out this new Battlemage beast. Team Blue could be plotting something sneaky. We’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we?
