Intel's next flagship GPU might have just leaked online. A listing for an Intel Arc B770 graphics card, featuring the top-tier BMG-G31 "Battlemage" GPU, appeared in an Intel GitHub repository, fueling speculation of an imminent announcement.
The code snippet, which also includes references to existing cards like the A770 and B580, suggests the B770 is intended as the new performance leader for Intel's discrete lineup. This would be the first major gaming GPU refresh in over a year, following the CES 2025 launch of the B570. While Intel released professional Battlemage GPUs in late 2025, gamers have been anticipating this higher-end model.
Rumored specifications for the BMG-G31 point to a card with 32 Xe2 cores and 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a total graphics power around 300 watts. If priced between 300 and 400 dollars, it could position itself against expected mid-range offerings from competitors like NVIDIA's RTX 5060 and AMD's RX 9060. This launch would come as Intel's integrated graphics have already moved to a newer Xe3 architecture, and during an industry period affected by memory supply constraints.
