Intel Battlemage "B770" GPU performance improvement may not be significant, latest news reveals

The source pointed out that the number of stream processors on Intel's Arc graphics card B770 is the same as A770, both with 4096. Each Vector Engine (formerly known as Execution Engine) was upgraded from 8 ALUs to 16, but the number of Vector Engines in each Xe core decreased from 16 to 8, thus maintaining consistency in quantity.

The Ruixuan B770 graphics card is similar to the A770, equipped with a 256 bit bus and 16GB GDDR6/GDDR6X graphics memory. The GPU core clock frequency will reach 2GHz, the secondary cache will increase to 32MB, and the process nodes will be upgraded from N6 (6 nanometers) on Alchemist to N5P (5 nanometers) on TSMC.

The mid-range G21 Battlemage Die will be equipped with 20 Xe cores (2560 shaders) and 12GB of graphics memory, a 192 bit bus, a 2GHz clock frequency, 16MB of L2 cache, and 8x PCIe Gen 5 channels.Intel's Arc Battlemage GPU is expected to be launched in the second half of 2024. However, recent reports suggest that in order to avoid conflicts with the RDNA 4 lineup of RTX 50 or AMD, the release date of the product has been postponed to 2025.
