Signs Point to Intel Arc B770 GPU Nearing Launch
Intel appears to be preparing for the launch of its highest-end Battlemage graphics card, the Intel Arc B770, as evidenced by recently uncovered shipping manifests. Data miner Haze discovered shipments of paper boxes measuring 390×189×83 mm in June—a pattern that closely matches Intel’s previous behavior before launching its Arc B580 graphics card approximately 2.5 months after similar packaging was spotted.
While Intel has never officially confirmed the existence of an Intel Arc B770 model, multiple sources indicate the company has been developing a BMG-G31 GPU that would represent the flagship of its Battlemage series. The shipping activity suggests Intel is targeting a fourth-quarter 2025 launch, potentially positioning the card for the holiday shopping season.
What We Know About the Rumored Arc B770
Based on leaks and industry speculation, the Intel Arc B770 is expected to feature:
- GPU Architecture: BMG-G31 with Xe2 cores
- Memory: 16GB GDDR6 with a 256-bit bus
- Interface: PCIe 5.0 x16
- Performance Positioning: Upper mid-range to high-end
This would represent a significant step up from Intel’s current Battlemage offerings, the B570 and B580, which have focused on the budget and mid-range segments with 10-12GB of memory and narrower memory buses.
Intel’s Uphill Battle in a Competitive Market
The potential Intel Arc B770 launch comes at a challenging time for Intel’s graphics ambitions. Both AMD and NVIDIA have already established strong positions in the upper mid-range and high-end segments with their latest generations, and NVIDIA is rumored to be preparing RTX 50 SUPER variants for launch in the coming months.

However, Intel has found some success with its value proposition—offering more VRAM than similarly priced competitors and providing frequent driver updates that have significantly improved performance since the initial Arc launch. The company’s B570 and B580 cards have been praised for their aggressive pricing and memory configurations, forcing competitors to reconsider their own entry-level and mid-range offerings.
The Packaging Pattern
The discovery of packaging materials follows an identical pattern to Intel’s previous GPU launches. The Arc B580’s packaging was spotted in shipping manifests exactly one year before its December 2024 launch, suggesting a similar 2.5-3 month timeline between packaging production and product availability.
The box dimensions (390×189×83 mm) indicate a substantial graphics card, likely requiring a 2.5-3 slot design with robust cooling to handle what rumors suggest could be a significantly more powerful GPU than Intel’s current offerings.

The Bottom Line
While Intel remains silent about its graphics roadmap, the evidence suggests the company is preparing to compete in higher performance segments with the Intel Arc B770. Success will depend heavily on pricing, performance, and driver maturity—factors that have improved considerably for Intel’s graphics division but still lag behind established competitors. If the shipping manifests are accurate, consumers may have a new contender in the GPU market by the end of 2025.
