Alright, so here we go. Intel and their Battlemage thing, yeah? Apparently, they’re not quite finished tinkering with it. They’re, like, cooking up one more GPU variant that might just shake things up a bit in the mainstream market. Kinda feels like they’re that kid on the playground who’s just getting the hang of the new game, doesn’t it?
So, rumor has it that this Arc B770 desktop GPU — yep, that’s the one folks are talking about — is supposedly already in the production phase. Some say it might hit the shelves next quarter. Anyone remember the Battlemage stuff from Q4 2024? They dropped the Arc B570 and B580 back then. Not gonna lie, people thought they were alright, considering the big shots — AMD and NVIDIA — were hogging all the spotlight.
Now, picture this — AMD’s cooking up something with their RX 9060s, and NVIDIA? They’re over there prepping their RTX 5060 series. And where’s Intel in all this? Seemed like they were just hanging out, but turns out they might jump back in with their new Battlemage. There’s this Japanese site, Gazlog (no idea why it’s called that), whispering about Intel stirring up the scene with their BMG-G31 silicon. Maybe it’s the Arc Battlemage B770 they’re hinting at?
Get this — shipping manifests (yeah, those things) spilled the beans a few weeks back about the BMG-G31. They caught it on its way to one of Intel’s spots in Vietnam. Makes ya wonder, right? Vietnam’s where they whip up those limited edition GPUs, so who knows, maybe we’ll see this new Battlemage real soon. Why the B770, you ask? Well, those B5XX’s seem done and dusted, so a new model seems like the next logical step.
Oh, and there’s this leaker, OneRaichu — real name or Star Wars character? You decide. Anyway, they’re buzzing about this Arc B770. They claim it’s on the horizon, and fans are getting all excited. The specs? Something like 24 to 32 Xe2 cores, 256-bit memory bus, and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Or, maybe Intel’s keeping a wild card for AI stuff? Who the heck knows anymore?
Thinking about announcements, Computex 2025 is just around the corner. It starts in a few weeks. Might catch Intel pulling a rabbit out of their hat with this Battlemage dGPU thing. We’ll just have to wait and watch how Team Blue handles their strategy this time. Could be anything, really.
