Intel lists its “Big Battlemage” ARC PRO 70 GPU on its website

Intel officially lists its ARC PRO B70 GPU on its ARC support page

It’s official, Intel are terrible at keeping secrets. Intel has officially listed its ARC PRO B70 graphics card on its support website, confirming its existence once again. Videocardz were the first to spot this listing, and so far, Intel has failed to remove it from their website. It’s almost like Intel isn’t even trying to keep this graphics card a secret anymore.

Intel’s ARC PRO B70 GPU uses Intel’s long-rumoured “Big Battlemage” BMG-G31 silicon. The GPU reportedly features 32GB of GDDR6 memory over a 256-bit memory bus and 4,096 GPU cores. This gives this GPU 60% more GPU cores than Intel’s ARC PRO B60/ARC B580 graphics cards. In theory, Intel could use this GPU’s silicon to create a gaming GPU called the ARC B770. However, high memory prices may prevent the launch of this higher-end Battlemage gaming GPU.

With its PRO B70 graphics card, Intel is focusing on workstation performance and AI. That’s why this GPU contains 32GB of memory. This GPU aims to be more affordable than competing 32GB professional graphics cards.

Intel are reportedly due to launch their new ARC PRO series GPUs this quarter, with both GPUs targeting workstation graphics and AI. Sadly, it is unknown if Intel plans to release a gaming-oriented version of this GPU.
