Intel’s reportedly working on 24GB ARC Battlemage GPUs

Intel’s reportedly planning a HUGE 24GB ARC Battlemage GPU for creators and workstation users

According to a report from Quantum Bits, Intel is developing a 24GB ARC Battlemage series graphics card. With this GPU, Intel hopes to attract buyers from the “productivity market” by offering users plenty of VRAM for video editing and other high-end use cases. These GPUs will likely arrive as ARC PRO series graphics cards.

Today’s ARC Battlemage GPUs can have up to 12GB of VRAM. Intel’s ARC B580 Battlemage GPU features 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM across a 192-bit memory bus. To upgrade this GPU to 24GB, Intel would need to use a dual-sided GDDR6 memory setup, with memory on both sides of the GPU’s PCB. This allows Intel to give users a cost-effective GPU with as much VRAM as an Nvidia RTX 4090.

It is unknown if Intel plans to release consumer-grade ARC Battlemage GPUs above their ARC B580. As such, we expect this 24GB “ARC PRO” GPU to be based on the same silicon as their consumer-grade ARC B580.

In 2025, Intel plans to launch a larger memory version of the Battlemage series graphics cards, with the capacity increased to 24G .

In the future, the existing version will continue to serve consumer markets such as games , while the 24G larger video memory version will target the “productivity market . ”

This new 24GB GPU could be popular for several potential use cases. Video editors with complex projects may appreciate a cost-effective GPU with 24GB of memory. Furthermore, users of generative AI would benefit from a low-cost graphics card with a frame buffer of this size. This opens the door to GPU sales in the data center, edge computing, education, and scientific research markets. This is great for Intel’s overall GPU ambitions, as Intel doesn’t want their ARC GPUs to only be used by gamers.
