Earlier this week, there were reports suggesting the potential launch of an Intel Xe2 "Battlemage" B770 gaming graphics card at Computex 2025. Last night, a tweet from Team Blue confirmed that new Intel Arc Pro GPUs are on the way, stating "See you in Taipei!" In the lead-up to this important trade event, industry experts have been speculating about the future of "Battlemage." Rumors of 24 GB VRAM-equipped versions started circulating late last year, and in late January, these theories were linked to an official leak mentioning "3 new PCI IDs for BMG."
VideoCardz has now provided some new insider information, suggesting that one of Intel's upcoming professional options will be an "Arc Pro B60 24 GB" model, also known as the "Developer Edition" internally. Despite Sparkle HQ dismissing recent claims, a company representative in China hinted at a potential May/June release of their own custom 24 GB "Battlemage" card focused on productivity. VideoCardz has also reported on rumors regarding the internal setup of the "Arc Pro B60," speculating that Team Blue will use the "BMG-G21" GPU, similar to their Arc Xe2 B580 12 GB and B570 10 GB designs. According to an unnamed source, this professional/workstation variant will maintain the standard 192-bit memory interface.
Intel's teaser for new products at Computex 2025 hinted at the cooling solution for the speculated "B60" model. Their infographic suggests a blower-style fan configuration, likely similar to the one found on their first-gen "Alchemist" slimline design: Arc Pro A60. VideoCardz highlighted some interesting details about previous-generation traits, noting that the A60 was based on the "ACM-G12" GPU die, which was not the largest available "Alchemist" chip option. They mentioned that the A60 used the ACM-G12 GPU, while the A50 and A40 were based on the ACM-G11. The assumption that the B60 will use the BMG-G21 is based on the fact that Intel has not released any other Battlemage GPU yet.
Regarding the speculation about the B770, which did not originate from VideoCardz, they criticized rival PC hardware news sites, stating that there is no evidence to support these claims. The unsubstantiated claim was widely shared by major tech media without any proof.
