Okay, so here’s the thing. Intel isn’t throwing in the towel on the Battlemage stuff just yet. They’re cooking up something new, and honestly, I’m kind of excited. Or skeptical. Depends on the day, really.
So, there’s chatter out there about this new Intel Arc B770 GPU. Rumor has it they’ve already started cranking ’em out, and we might just see them hit the shelves next quarter. Fingers crossed, right?
Now, Intel… they’re not exactly sprinting in the GPU race with AMD and NVIDIA, but hey, they’re playing the long game. Remember back in late 2024? They dropped those Arc B570 and B580 babies. People were like, “Not bad, Intel, not bad.” I should remember that… or not. Anyway, with AMD’s RX 9060 and NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 sneaking around the corner, Intel’s got… well, not much. Yet. But, plot twist! This Japanese site, Gazlog, is hinting at a new Battlemage, the “BMG-G31.” Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, doesn’t it?
So shipping manifests—it’s like peeking into Santa’s big list—showed the BMG-G31 silicon finds its way to an Intel spot in Vietnam. Intel Vietnam’s got the inside track on doing the Limited Edition GPUs, so who knows, we might be seeing this stuff sooner than we think.
And oh, this leaker OneRaichu—cool name, huh?—spilled some beans too. They’ve got the scoop on Arc B770, saying it’s hanging out in the pipeline. I mean, it’s all whispers and shadows, but still!
Spec-wise, it’s gonna pack some serious punch, they say. Maybe 24-32 Xe2 cores, with 16 GB of that sweet GDDR6 memory. Sounds beefy, right? But then again, could pivot into AI/pro gear. Who even knows at this point.
Oh, and Computex 2025? Just around the corner. I bet Intel’s got something up their sleeves for us. I’ll be there, probably with my hands full and lost in the crowd. But hey, it’s all part of the fun, isn’t it? Let’s see if Intel can throw us a curveball or two. Stay tuned. Or, y’know, don’t. Up to you.
