Intel’s playing this wild card game, still fiddling with the Battlemage series. Yup, they’re onto something with another variant. It’s like they’re setting the stage for a shake-up in the mainstream GPU scene. Or maybe they’re just going along for the ride.
Whoa, Intel’s Arc B770: What’s Up?
So, Intel’s GPU game isn’t as turbocharged as AMD or NVIDIA. I mean, they’re not exactly in the fast lane. But hey, they’re hanging in. Back in the golden days of Q4 2024, they threw the Arc B570 and B580 onto the scene. Solid stuff back then, you know? But now AMD’s RX 9060 and NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 are knocking, and Intel’s doorbell is… well, kinda silent for now. Though, word on the street from some Japanese outlet – Gazlog, if you’re curious – says they’ve got another Battlemage up their sleeve, using the mystical “BMG-G31” silicon, probably an Arc B770. Sounds fancy, right?
So, these shipping manifests popped up a while back, whispering secrets about the BMG-G31 silicon die heading to an Intel place in Vietnam. Seems like the Arc B770’s getting spruced up there. Intel Vietnam’s the spot for crafting the Limited Edition versions of these GPUs. So yeah, a new Battlemage GPU is likely rolling out soon. Why the B770? Well, Intel’s B5XX series probably wrapped up its run, so it’s like, what else?
And get this – some big-name leaker, OneRaichu (what a name, huh?), confirmed the Arc B770’s in the works. Makes you wonder what’s cooking. Spec talk says maybe 24-32 Xe2 cores, a 256-bit memory bus, and 16GB GDDR6. But, whoa boy, it might end up in AI or pro GPUs too. Nothing’s nailed down yet.
Oh, and Computex 2025 is around the corner. We’re all hyped and geeked up, ready to hit the showroom floor and see what goes down. Intel might drop a Battlemage dGPU bombshell, but you never know what they’re plotting. Let’s just hang tight and see how this one unfolds.
