Intel’s Arc B770 teased in new leak
Intel appears to be preparing a new discrete GPU based on its Battlemage architecture, according to a recent leak involving an engineering graphics driver INF file. The file references the BMG-G31 chip and lists four variants—three professional and one consumer—suggesting the chip will power a range of products. This aligns with prior sightings of the BMG-G31, including a Linux boot log that indicated 16 gigabytes of video memory.
The BMG-G31 is expected to underpin a higher-tier offering than the current Arc B580, which uses the smaller BMG-G21 die. Following Intel’s past naming patterns, the consumer model may be the long-rumored Arc B770. While the B580 has been on the market for nearly 10 months, competitors from AMD and NVIDIA have already rolled out most of their latest-generation models. If the B770 launches near or below the 350-dollar mark, it could serve as a viable 1440p option—provided it outperforms rivals like the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB. A CES 2026 debut remains possible, though unconfirmed.
