Intel officially confirms “Big Battlemage” ARC B70 GPU

Intel references “B70 System” on GitHub

Intel has officially referenced a “B70 System” as part of its software release notes on GitHub, officially confirming that the company has a higher-end ARC PRO series graphics card on the way. Right now, Intel’s highest-end ARC PRO graphics card is the ARC B60, which uses the same GPU silicon as Intel’s ARC B580 gaming GPU.

Videocardz was the first to spot this B70 GPU reference. They also noted that this software release claims that “G31 validation has been added” and that “amm models are supported”, suggesting that Intel has several BMG-G31 CPUs in the works.

Two GPUs, both 32GB

Videocardz previously leaked that Intel plans to release two ARC GPUs based on its BMG-G31 silicon. These GPUs are the ARC B70 Pro and ARC B65 PRO. Both GPUs support 32GB of GDDR6 memory over a 256-bit memory bus. The ARC B70 Pro will reportedly feature 4096 GPU cores, while the B65 Pro will feature 2560 GPU cores.

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.
