Oh yeah, Intel is on the verge of releasing the hotly-anticipated, NVIDIA RTX-fighting flagship GPU, the Arc B770 Battlemage into the wild. This second-generation card is generating significant buzz as leaked information points to an impressive set of specifications, a launch window in late 2025 (just in time for Christmas), and potentially a price point to put added pressure on its competitors.

Over on X, leaked shipping manifests from Intel’s assembly plant in Vietnam, suggest that the B770 is closer than ever to a public release. The appearance of BMG-G31 GPU dies in shipping manifests mirrors the timeline of the B580 launch pretty much exactly a year go, indicating that either a November or December debut is highly likely.
Besides performance, the key to the Arc B770 being a success may lie in how Intel prices the thing. After a strong showing in the budget category, consumers are probably expecting a product with strong value for money. Even though we’re speculating at this point, it wouldn’t be surprising if Intel sells the the 16GB VRAM B770 for slightly above the MSRP of, say, an RTX 4070 8GB.
Additionally, the B770 is believed to support PCIe 5.0 x16, upgraded from the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface on the older B580. This advancement will provide the GPU with a much wider bandwidth, ensuring it can handle demanding workloads without a performance bottleneck. In terms of software, the card will lean on Intel’s evolving XeSS 2.0 technology , which offers AI-driven upscaling and frame generation to boost performance and image quality on supported titles (such as Cyberpunk 2077, Expedition 33, F1 2024/25, et al.).
