People waiting for better Intel graphics cards feel disappointed. Intel released the cheap Arc Xe2 "Battlemage" B580 and B570 cards earlier, but news about stronger models stopped coming. Nobody heard anything big since January when Tomasz Gawroński found three secret "Battlemage" computer parts online. Some tech experts believed these would become professional versions of the B580 with giant 24 GB memory banks. Others hoped Intel planned gaming cards like "B750, B770," or even "B780" for players wanting more power.
Just yesterday, Gawroński talked with another famous leaker named Jaykihn. This person often shares secret Intel plans about computer chips for desktops, laptops, and business machines. Jaykihn claims Intel canceled their high-end "BMG-G31" graphics chip during July-September last year. Many sources previously mentioned that the "Battlemage" project faced serious problems throughout its creation process. Various rumors even suggested Intel might kill the entire project completely.
Jaykihn explained he believes stores will never sell any "BMG-G31" graphics cards. Tech watchers probably expect Intel to replace these missing products with their next generation, Arc Xe3 "Celestial," instead. When asked about progress on these future "Celestial" graphics cards, Jaykihn admitted he knew nothing new about how that work moves forward at Intel.
The company appears stuck between wanting to compete with NVIDIA and AMD but struggling to deliver products strong enough for serious gamers. Budget cards alone cannot build market share against established rivals. Without high-performance options, Intel faces an uphill battle convincing players to switch brands. Their graphics division needs a clear path forward beyond entry-level offerings if they want respect from enthusiasts and professionals alike.
