Intel seems to be keeping gamers and tech enthusiasts on their toes with hints about a possible new addition to the Arc GPU lineup. With Computex just around the corner, speculation is rife about whether Intel will unveil a more powerful Arc Battlemage GPU than the B580. The company’s cryptic responses to user inquiries have certainly fueled these rumors.
Last week, Intel piqued curiosity by announcing the unveiling of its latest Arc Professional GPUs at the Computex event in Taipei, taking place from May 20th to 23rd. In response to numerous fan requests for a beefier Battlemage GPU, Intel’s response of “Stay Tuned” suggests something exciting might be in the works. Enthusiasts are particularly interested in the Arc B770, anticipated to outperform the current B580.
The Arc B770 is rumored to sport the larger BMG-31 die, potentially making it a strong contender against budget-friendly GPUs like the GeForce RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT. Meanwhile, Intel has confirmed the Arc Pro A60, designed for professional tasks, which will feature the BMG-21 die and double the VRAM of the B580 at 24 GB.
Adding to the excitement, there is chatter about an Arc B580 model with 24 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Although this was initially confirmed and then retracted by SPARKLE, the possibility remains, especially as other partners like Maxsun have registered similar models.
As Computex approaches, the anticipation is building to see what Intel, along with competitors like NVIDIA and AMD, will reveal. With new announcements expected from all sides, tech enthusiasts have much to look forward to. Stay tuned for more updates as the event unfolds.
