Going from point A to B… see you on December 3 at 9:00 AM EST on https://t.co/WSCIoxfKtYPT: 6:00 AMCET: 15:00 JST: 11:00 PMAET: 12:00 (December 4) drink. twitter.com/o7eQr0C4ITNovember 30, 2024
Intel has scheduled an official presentation for December 3 at 9 a.m. EST. Team Blue’s “Going from A -> B” trailer likely refers to the transition from Alchemist to Battlemage. Intel is expected to unveil the B580 and B570 models next week. The high-end B770/B750 GPUs may be slightly delayed as Intel tries to push Battlemage ahead of RDNA 4 and Blackwell.
AIB also joined the action, including: Maxsun recently announced Intel’s upcoming triple-fan GPU (Battlemage), scheduled for December 3rd. Gunnir – another Chinese management partner – was already two steps ahead as their teaser was released before Intel’s official announcement yesterday.
As it stands, the initial Battlemage showcase should include two GPUs, namely the Arc B580 and the slightly cheaper Arc B570 – both of which are expected to work with Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti. B580 – according to initial offers and specification sheets from ASRock boasts 20 Xe cores (2560 ALUs), 12 GB of GDDR6 19 Gb/s memory, a 192-bit memory interface with a boost clock of up to 2.8 GHz – equivalent to 14.3 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. On the contrary, the B570 with lower parameters should It is equipped with 18 Xe cores, 10 GB of GDDR6 memory with a speed of 19 Gb/s and a 2.6 GHz boost clock, which allows it to generate 12 TFLOPs (FP32).
Battlemage’s success depends on driver support and a competitive pricing structure with Nvidia and especially AMD. Arc 140V’s results against Strix Point are quite promising for Battlemage. However, it’s best to wait for independent reviews before you pull the trigger.
