Recent shipping logs spotted by Wccftech hint at an upcoming Intel GPU, likely the Arc B770, powered by the new Battlemage-G31 chip. This next-gen graphics card promises stronger performance than its predecessors, but comes with a hefty 300W TDP.
The logs list the card with Intel's typical consumer GPU code “N38341-001”, following the usual N+5 digit naming scheme. While the log doesn't explicitly confirm it as the Arc B770, comparisons with the Arc B580 (part number B19826) suggest this is a higher-end model. Currently, the card is an early engineering sample under testing.
For reference, the Arc B580 has a TDP of 190W, while the previous Arc A770 topped out at 225W. The Arc B770's 300W rating positions it as the most power-hungry card in Intel’s mainstream lineup, hinting at significant performance gains.
The Battlemage-G31 GPU is expected to feature 32 Xe 2 cores (or 4096 shaders), a 256-bit memory bus, and 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM running at 19 Gbps, giving it a memory bandwidth of 608 GB/s. These specs suggest the Arc B770 could substantially outperform the Arc B580, and potentially compete strongly with Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti and AMD's RX 9060 XT 16GB at a compelling price point.
In short, the Arc B770 could be Intel's boldest move yet in the desktop GPU space, combining higher performance with mainstream accessibility—if the final release matches these leaks.
