Check this out. Someone digging through Intel's AI Playground guide found a reference to an unreleased Arc GPU with thirty-two gigs of memory. The utility showed a card labeled 'Intel(R) Arc(TM) A750 GPU (32x6)' being used to generate a test image. Intel has never put out a consumer card with that much VRAM; their current stuff tops out at twenty-four gigs for pro models.

This could be a peek at the rumored big Battlemage chip, the BMG-G31. That thing is supposed to have a two-hundred-fifty-six-bit bus, which would fit either a sixteen or thirty-two-gig configuration. Maybe the pro versions get the full thirty-two, or Intel throws a bone to gamers with a limited edition model. There is a boring explanation too, like a laptop using shared system memory, but where is the fun in that?

The specs floating around for Battlemage point to a chip with over four thousand cores and a three hundred watt power draw. With CES coming up, it would be the logical time for Intel to finally show its hand. Whether this leak is the real deal or just a weird software quirk, it is clear they are cooking something new for their graphics lineup.
