Intel’s got this thing going on with their Battlemage GPUs that’s kind of… intriguing, you know? The word on the street is they’re cooking up another variant, which might just shake things up in the mainstream GPU scene. Maybe. I mean, it’s all whispers and shadows right now, but still.
So, apparently—the buzz is coming in from over in Japan, right?—Intel’s Arc B770 Desktop GPU, codenamed the mysterious “BMG-G31” (sounds like a secret agent, doesn’t it?), might already be rolling out of the production line. They’re saying we could see it hit the shelves as early as next quarter. Crazy, right?
Yeah, Intel’s not exactly setting the GPU world on fire like AMD and NVIDIA. But they’ve got this slow-and-steady vibe happening. Last we saw, in Q4 2024 or something like that (time flies, huh?), they popped out the Arc B570 and B580. Decent stuff back then—didn’t shatter the earth but held their own. Now, with AMD and NVIDIA prepping their new beasts, Intel’s been kind of quiet. Too quiet, some might say.
Anyway, so back to these shipping manifests (why do I always find myself fascinated by paperwork?). They showed the BMG-G31 being shipped off to Vietnam. That’s where Intel’s cooking up their Limited Edition model GPUs. If that’s not a sign something big’s brewing, I don’t know what is—this is where the magic happens, folks.
Oh, and then there’s this dude OneRaichu—weird name, I know, but hell, he’s got a track record. Said the Arc B770’s definitely in the pipeline. We’re talking about potentially 24-32 Xe2 cores, fancy 256-bit memory bus, whopping 16 gigs of GDDR6 memory… or who knows, it might end up being a brain for AI stuff too. Honestly, your guess is as good as mine at this point.
And hey, Computex 2025 is just around the corner. Perfect stage for Intel to drop a bombshell if they’re up for it. I’ll be there, milling around the booths, soaking it all in. Could be a big moment, or a fizzle. Who can really tell with these tech shows? Anyway, let’s just hang tight and see how Intel’s strategy plays out.
