No plans to launch an affordable version for gamers
What just happened? At Computex 2025, Intel unveiled its Arc Pro B60 and B50 Battlemage graphics cards with 24GB and 16GB of VRAM, respectively. Maxsun has fused two of the B60 GPUs to create a dual-GPU monster with 48GB of GDDR6 memory. Dubbed the Arc Pro B60 Dual Turbo, the two-slot graphics card is meant for high-end workstations running AI workloads.
Forward-looking: Intel is finally ready to announce its next-generation Battlemage gaming GPUs today, beginning with the Arc B580 and Arc B570. We've got all the details: specs, performance claims, pricing, and even the announcement of XeSS 2 – so what does Intel have in store for the GPU market?
Rumor mill: Reports have long suggested that Intel plans to launch its second generation of desktop graphics cards in late 2024, and there's no indication that Chipzilla has encountered significant delays. While details on specifications, performance, and pricing remain scarce, the new GPUs could arrive weeks ahead of competitor releases from AMD and Nvidia. Moreover, could this be Intel's last hurrah before they abandon desktop GPUs again?
