Man, Intel’s at it again with their Arc “Battlemage” GPUs. If you’re thinking, “Wait, what’s that?” You’re not alone. They’re hyping up some big news for the workstation crowd, especially those into AI and creating stuff. I saw this teaser on Twitter — which I keep telling myself I won’t check as often, but here we are. Anyway, they promise more deets at Computex. That’s like, right around the corner or something. Time flies.
So, about these new GPUs. Rumor has it, Intel’s packing more memory into these bad boys—24 GB VRAM, which is a nerdy way of saying they’ll be super powerful. The current top dog, Arc Pro A60, has 12 GB, so yeah, it’s like putting a rocket on a skateboard or something. Picturing it that way makes me chuckle.
But here’s the juicy bit! There might be a totally new GPU. I mean, there’s mumbling about this BMG-G31 thing. Sounds more like a robot’s name than a chip. Who names these, anyway? Supposedly, it’s got a 256-bit bus and more Xe2 cores. I can almost hear them revving up like a digital race car, which is an odd sound to imagine.
All this is to say, if you’re into the nitty-gritty tech stuff, you’re probably geeking out right now. Intel’s still on the case, tweaking both their hardware and software. Who knows what surprises they’ll drop at Computex? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
