Intel prepares Arc Battlemage PRO with 24GB, according to rumor

Intel is expected to launch a new model of Arc dedicated graphics card based on its Battlemage architecture, according to rumors. According to unofficial information, this new product will be aimed at work, featuring 24GB of memory capacity.

The information comes from the Quantum Bits website, which estimates the launch of the 24GB Intel Arc for 2025. According to a translation from VideoCardz, the website states: “in the future, the current versions will continue to serve the gaming and consumer market, while the 24GB with more memory will be aimed at the productivity market”.

It is based on this statement that VideoCardz has dubbed this possible new Battlemage model “PRO”. Apparently, the 24GB card will maintain the BGM-G21 GPU, used in the Arc B580 currently available on the market.

According to information on the website, the extra memory can especially help AI inference applications in large language models (LLM) – those used in the famous generative AI. Thus, the new Battlemage can be used in data centers, edge computing and also in the educational market.

Will the 24GB Intel Arc Battlemage remain an affordable alternative?

In a market where products are increasingly priced, Intel achieved immense success in the debut of its Battlemage generation of Arc graphics cards. The company claims that the Arc B580 has been sold out in stores, and is struggling to meet high demand and keep stocks up to date.

In January, we will have the debut of the Arc B570 entry-level models, with less performance and even more competitive prices.
