So, Intel’s stirring the pot again with their Arc “Battlemage” GPUs—at least that’s what they hinted at for Computex. I mean, seriously, they seem like they’re aiming for the big leagues in the PRO and AI game. Computex should be buzzing, right? Who knows, but it’s just around the corner.
Anyway, they shared this tease on X—yep, right in the middle of my scrolling session. These Arc Pro GPUs supposedly have the new Battlemage architecture—that sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? These are apparently for workstation folks who love diving into AI and content stuff. But, wait—Intel’s zipped their lips on deets for now. Why do they do this? Keeps us guessing, I suppose.
Oh, and there was this tweet too, you saw that? Big promise—see you in Taipei and all. It’s like an invite with a hidden plot twist, I guess?
Now, get this: rumors are swirling that these GPUs might sport more memory. Like, really packing it in with 24 GB VRAM. Imagine doubling up the VRAM from before—that’s rave-worthy in the tech specs world, right? The current hotshot, Arc Pro A60, only has 12 GB. So yeah, doubling it sounds like a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
Also, there might be a new GPU SKU on the horizon. Nothing’s confirmed, but I’m getting vibes about a high-end BMG-G31 or something that’s been whispered about. Something about a 256-bit bus and more Xe2 cores—sounds techy, huh?
But you know, all these bits and bobs are making Intel seem pretty keen on their GPUs. They’re not just releasing hardware but throwing in some software tweaks too. That’s cool. Makes you wonder, will they catch up or zoom past others? Guess we’ll have to keep our ears open for more gossip. Computex should be interesting, don’t you think?
