Intel has just dropped a big update, confirming the official launch of their new Arc Battlemage GPU series, with a special unveiling planned for December 3rd.

## Intel Set to Reveal Select “Battlemage” Models in Upcoming Showcase, Possibly the Arc B580/B570 GPUs

At last, the swirling rumors around Intel’s Battlemage GPUs are set to be addressed. Intel is gearing up for a major presentation next week, which will hopefully clear up much of the speculation. Initially, talks were that these next-gen GPUs would hit the market by the first quarter of 2025. However, Intel has made a strategic shift, now eyeing a December release, a move that has intrigued followers and critics alike.

Intel hasn’t spilled all the details about this event, but it’s widely believed that they will introduce their Arc “Battlemage” B580 and B570 models. These are expected to succeed the previous Arc series GPUs. What do we know so far? The Arc Battlemage B580 is anticipated to boast 160 CUs, which translates to roughly 20 Xe Cores, paired with 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a 192-bit memory bus—this positions it comfortably in the “mid-tier” market segment. It’s rumored to clock at a swift 2.8 GHz, powered by two 8-pin connectors, with a price tag floating around the $250-$260 mark.

In terms of specs for the Arc Battlemage B580, you can expect:
– 12GB 192-bit GDDR6
– The Battlemage BMG-G21 GPU (featuring 20 Xe Cores)
– Intel Xe2-HPG Architecture
– Max Boost Clocks hitting 2850 MHz
– Innovative tech like Intel Xe Super Sampling (Intel XeSS) and Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (Intel XMX)

Now, regarding the Arc B570, concrete details are still under wraps. It’s likely to mirror the B580’s performance closely, albeit with potential tweaks, potentially in the Xe core count. Intel, often nicknamed “Team Blue,” intends to start with just two models, but they could roll out more depending on market vibes. A noteworthy tidbit is that the Arc Battlemage B580 will also feature a “Limited Edition” model, which will be prioritized in reviews.

In addition to these launches, we anticipate a comprehensive update on Intel’s foray into the “Battlemage” discrete GPU market and their ongoing commitment to the PC gaming industry. As always, keep your eyes peeled for more about Intel’s Battlemage desktop GPU series as developments unfold.
