- Intel simply teased a brand new Battlemage Arc GPU, asking gaming followers to ‘keep tuned’
- It is anticipated to be revealed at Computex 2025 alongside new Arc Professional and AI GPUs
- It may very well be an incredible alternative for Crew Blue to catch as much as its rivals, with a extra highly effective, higher-end GPU in comparison with the Arc B570 and B580
With Computex 2025 now upon us, it is almost time for loads of tech reveals from handheld gaming PCs, processors, and GPUs – and Intel has hinted at a couple of massive reveals to problem its rivals, Nvidia and AMD.
In a put up on X, Intel introduced that will probably be revealing new Arc Professional and AI GPUs at Computex; most significantly, it is simply hinted at a brand new Battlemage GPU, with ‘keep tuned’ replies to customers who flooded the replies with requests for the GPU purported because the ‘Arc B770’ for players.
A number of rumors have been widespread concerning Crew Blue doubtlessly releasing a higher-end GPU as an improve from its earlier GPUs (reported by VideoCardz), after its Arc B570 and Arc B580 GPUs launched late final yr.
One specifically seemingly revealed Intel’s plans for a brand new Arc B580 with 24GB of VRAM, which is a major improve from the present mannequin’s 12GB. It is also anticipated to come back alongside different 24GB Professional GPUs for workstations.
Because of Intel’s new teasers, these rumors now have extra credibility, though it isn’t precisely clear if will probably be unveiling each a brand new Arc B580 24GB GPU and a wholly new Arc B770, or simply the latter alone. Nonetheless, one clear factor is that players will likely be getting a brand new Battlemage GPU, and one that’s extra highly effective than any of Crew Blue’s earlier choices – and a Computex 2025 reveal seems imminent.
Intel has a chance to bridge the hole and catch as much as Nvidia and AMD
It is no secret that regardless of the successes and spectacular gaming efficiency from each the Intel Arc B580 and Arc B570, Crew Blue nonetheless has some catching as much as do with Nvidia and AMD. Thankfully, this rumored GPU sounds prefer it could be the beginning of that.
Each of its current Battlemage GPUs aren’t high-tier GPUs, however nonetheless handle to offer nice efficiency outcomes at 1080p and 1440p resolutions as finances choices – however now, it seems like Intel is making an effort in offering GPUs which are nearer to center or excessive tier (or on the very least extra highly effective GPUs than what is accessible).
Whereas nothing is assured, I am hoping that is certainly the case as a result of inexpensive GPUs want a higher focus for finances players; AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and 9060 collection are a major instance of this (regardless of the inflation problems with accomplice playing cards).
I am nonetheless protecting my expectations low, as I am anticipating that there will not be any ‘high-end’ GPUs just like the rumored Arc B580 24GB may recommend; not less than, I do not see any of Intel’s new GPUs matching or competing in opposition to the likes of an RTX 5070 Ti.
Nonetheless, the rumors point out that Intel is doubtlessly cooking one thing that can make players take it extra critically in relation to the GPU market – and I am hoping it is a main shock.
