Intel works on another Battlemage graphics card that uses the newest PCIe 5.0 technology with 16 lanes. The PCI-SIG group added a new Intel product called 99CMLN to their official database. This marks the first Battlemage card to feature the faster PCIe 5.0 x16 connection. The listing appeared on May 9th according to tech watchers who track these changes. Two other Battlemage cards were added the day before with different code names.

Current Arc B570 and B580 cards use the older PCIe 4.0 standard for data transfer. Pro Battlemage models use the same BMG-G21 chip but offer PCIe 5.0 connections. The new 99CMLN device might represent a more powerful Pro card or the bigger B580 replacement. Rumors suggest Intel might release an Arc B770 model with better performance. The company has not denied plans for such a graphics card release.

The possible Arc B770 could use a BMG-G31 chip with 24 to 32 processing cores. It might come with 16 GB of memory through a 256-bit connection. PCIe 5.0 would match what NVIDIA and AMD already offer their customers. The faster interface may not boost performance much since PCIe 4.0 handles most gaming needs.
