SPARKLE has reversed its comment about making a 24 GB Arc Battlemage GPU. They first said yes to these plans last month in a Bilibili thread. When people started talking about it everywhere, SPARKLE changed their story. They took down the page where they talked about it, but screenshots exist showing what they said earlier.
Something fishy seems to happen behind closed doors. SPARKLE first agreed that such a GPU exists. Later, they said it does not. After that, they removed even their denial statement. This might mean SPARKLE is working on this GPU, but broke the rules about keeping it secret. They probably tried to fix their mistake, but acted late.
Intel has stayed quiet about this matter. They never officially announced any 24 GB Battlemage version. Only SPARKLE confirmed it before taking back their words. Reports suggest we might see an Arc Battlemage Pro with 24 GB of memory around late May or June. This card can run games, but it works better for affordable professional computers. Details remain scarce, but it will likely use the same BMG-G21 chip as the Arc B580.
