Acer released four new graphics cards in the Intel Arc and AMD Radeon lineups, and we found them on display in Acer's booth here at Computex 2025. The Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC is now available in white, with 2x FrostBlade fans (alongside the existing black version). It features 12 GB memory running at up to 2,740 MHz with Intel Xe2 architecture, supporting 1440p gaming and 8K displays (1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs) with ray tracing, XeSS frame generation, and low latency technology. The Intel Nitro Arc A380 LP is a low-profile card with 6 GB memory, powered by one 8-pin PCIe connector and 2,000 MHz clocks, built on Xe architecture with DirectX 12 Ultimate support, ray tracing capabilities, and XeSS upscaling for content creation and gaming.

The two Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC models come in 16 GB and 8 GB variants, both delivering boost clocks up to 3,320 MHz and game clocks up to 2,780 MHz. Both models came in a two-slot format with dual-fans, metal backplates and 1x HDMI 2.1a and 2x DP 2.1 outputs.

Here are some of the first pictures of the Maxsun Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual, which as its name suggests, is a dual-GPU graphics card. This card comes with a pair of Arc Pro B60 chips, each with 24 GB of memory, for a total of 48 GB on the card. The card is a 2-slot, full-height, and over 30 cm-long beast with a lateral-blower based cooling solution. It draws power from a 600 W 12V2x6 power connector. Both GPUs on the card have their own set of display I/O—one each of DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1b, on the rear I/O.

Internally, the Maxsun Arc Pro B60 Dual lacks a PCIe bridge chip. Since the "BMG-G21" silicon has a PCI-Express 5.0 x8 host interface, both GPUs are connected across the x16 gold finger, and rely on PCIe lane segmentation at the host level. This is precisely how M.2 NVMe riser AICs work, where they split the x16 connection among the four x4 M.2 SSDs. The primary use-case of the Arc Pro B60 Dual 48 GB is AI inferencing, and its board is designed to help you stack up to four of these cards in a workstation for 192 GB of video memory for AI models to span across. PCIe Gen 5 offers certain cache coherency features Intel introduced with CXL 1.0. Tying it all together is Intel's Project Battlematrix inference workstation platform.

Intel's official X/Twitter account has started replying to fans asking for a more powerful GPU, teasing the long‑rumored Arc "Battlemage" B770. Over the past week, users who replied to Intel's Arc PRO announcement asking about the B770 have received brief but intriguing responses like "stay tuned," "we're just getting started," and "more to come." On the surface, these could be generic marketing lines. But with NVIDIA gearing up to launch the RTX 5060 and AMD expected to unveil the RX 9060 XT next week, the timing feels deliberate—and perhaps a sign that Intel plans its own midrange contender. Clues are already stacking up. Shipping manifests from Intel's Vietnam assembly plant—the same facility that produced limited‑run B570 and B580 cards—show a batch of BMG‑G31 GPUs en route. Tipster OneRaichu has said the Arc B770 may feature 24 to 32 Xe2 compute units, a 256‑bit memory bus, and up to 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.

Those specifications would position the B770 as a serious rival to NVIDIA's RTX 5060 and AMD's RX 9060 XT in both gaming and compute tasks. Beyond Battlemage, Intel's next‑generation Xe3 "Celestial" architecture is reportedly deep into pre‑silicon validation. Whether Intel opts to reveal the Arc B770 at Computex in late May or in a standalone livestream, the recent social media exchanges have already done their job by building excitement among enthusiasts. Community reaction has been enthusiastic. Many fans hope to see Intel hit the price target of, ideally, under $300. If Intel can deliver strong real‑world gaming performance at an attractive price and ensure wide availability, the Arc B770 could become the breakout midrange card that shifts the balance in this highly competitive segment.

The status of Intel's Arc Xe2 "Battlemage" generation is still an unknown quantity—recent leaks have alluded to a repeat rollout of existing GPU designs, albeit in the field of productivity. Team Blue has hinted about upcoming second-gen professional-grade cards, but tech enthusiasts are still fantasizing about more potent gaming options. Certain industry watchdogs reckon that Intel's graphics division has moved onto getting Arc Xe3 "Celestial" discrete solutions out of the door. Sections of a speculated C-series could act as natural gap fillers; taking the place of "absent" B750 and B770 options. These theories were buoyed earlier on in May; with insiders linking "Celestial" to a pre‑silicon validation platform.

Since late last year, it has been very quiet on the Arc Xe4 "Druid" development front; older "Visual Compute" roadmaps (now completely irrelevant) alluded to a 2025+ launch of fourth-gen designs. x86deadandback has stumbled on new-ish evidence of Xe4 "behind-the-scenes" movement—yesterday's social media post included a (data mined) screenshot of Dawn LUCI CQ activities (dated "Jan 16"). At the time, company engineers seemed to be actively working on "Gen 15/Xe4" (aka "Druid"). x86deadandback's update aligns with official (December 2024) statements—back then, Tom "TAP" Petersen confirmed that his hardware colleagues had polished off "Xe3 IP," and were already shifted onto "the next thing."

If you recall NVIDIA's GTX TITAN Z GPU with two GPU dies and an impressive 6 GB of memory, it was a big deal at the time and quite an interesting engineering solution. Today, thanks to sources close to VideoCardz, we learn that Intel's Arc "Battlemage" B580 could get the next dual GPU, dual VRAM treatment. According to the source, an unnamed Intel add-in board partner is preparing to launch a GPU with two B580 dies and 48 GB of VRAM. This means that the 24 GB VRAM version of the Arc B580 we saw in EEC filings is basically confirmed, and that some models will be out for display very soon. While the BMG-G21 chip offers up to 20 Xe cores and 2,560 shader units, a dual BMG-G21 configuration will yield 40 Xe cores and 5,120 shader units working in tandem with 48 GB of VRAM.

Clearly, this model is mostly tailored to AI enthusiasts. No game (thankfully) requires 48 GB of VRAM for now, but it is still nonetheless an interesting solution to see. It has been a while since we got something like a TITAN Z, even in high-end form factors. There is a rumored Intel Arc PRO A60/B60 card carrying a B580 die with 24 GB of VRAM, tailored for local AI workloads and professional visualization. This GPU could be the base for the newly rumored dual B580, 48 GB SKU from an unnamed Intel AIB partner. We expect to hear more details at Computex, which is now just a week away!

Earlier in the week, reports indicated the potential introduction of an Intel Xe2 "Battlemage" B770 gaming graphics card at Computex 2025. Last night, a Team Blue tweet confirmed forthcoming product unveilings: "new Intel Arc Pro GPUs are on the way. See you in Taipei!" In the months leading up to this important trade event, industry watchdogs have drummed up speculation about "Battlemage's" future (or fate). Whispers of 24 GB VRAM-equipped variants emerged late last year—around late January, these theories were connected to an official leak: "3 new PCI IDs for BMG."

Unsurprisingly, VideoCardz has weighed in with some new inside track info—they propose that one of Intel's upcoming professional options will be an "Arc Pro B60 24 GB" model, aka "Developer Edition" (an alleged in-house reference). Despite Sparkle HQ downplaying recent "rogue claims," a company rep (in China) alluded to a possible May/June release of their own custom 24 GB "Battlemage" productivity-oriented card. VideoCardz has picked up on rumors, regarding the "Arc Pro B60's" internal setup. They propose Team Blue's selection of the familiar "BMG-G21" GPU; as used by their Arc Xe2 B580 12 GB and B570 10 GB designs. According to an unnamed inside source, this professional/workstation variant will stick with the usual 192-bit memory interface. Intel's Computex 2025 new product teaser provided a big clue about the speculated "B60" model's cooling solution.

More performance, smoother gameplay, and faster responsiveness. This can all be made possible through software enhancements and AI capabilities unlocked with XeSS 2! Since the introduction of XeSS in 2022 alongside the launch of Intel Arc A-Series, over 200 games have been supercharged with greater performance thanks to AI-based super resolution upscaling technology (XeSS-SR). Shortly following launch, support was quickly extended to Intel Core Ultra processors with built-in Intel Arc GPUs, providing a better gaming experience for millions of desktop and laptop gamers around the globe.

XeSS 2 boldly pushes this further with the addition of gameplay-smoothing AI-based frame generation (XeSS-FG) and reduced lag with low latency (XeLL) technologies. Intel's game engineering team recently released the XeSS 2 SDK to enable quick and easy integration by developers, and adoption is picking up with 19 games now offering the new suite of technologies.

Sparkle announced availability of its flagship custom-design Intel Arc B580 graphics card, the Sparkle B580 ROC Luna OC Ultra. The card derives its name from an all-white appearance, with white making up not just the cooler shroud and fan impellers, but also the PCB solder-mask underneath. The card's design appears to balance elements to appeal to both gamers and creators. It comes with a 2.5-slot thick design that's at least an inch taller than what constitutes full-height. It uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by a pair of 90 mm fans.

The Sparkle Arc B580 ROC Luna OC Ultra comes with the company's highest factory overclock for the B580, with a max boost frequency of 2800 MHz compared to 2670 MHz reference, and 2740 MHz of its Titan OC graphics card. It also comes with increased power limits of 210 W, compared to 190 W reference. It draws power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The company didn't reveal pricing, but we expect it to be between the $250-300 mark.

In December, we reported that Intel's next‑generation Arc graphics cards, based on the Xe3 "Celestial" IP, are finished. Tom Petersen of Intel confirmed that the Xe3 IP is baked, meaning that basic media engines, Xe cores, XMX matrix engines, ray‑tracing engines, and other parts of the gaming GPU are already designed and most likely awaiting trial fabrication. Today, we learn that Intel has reached pre‑silicon validation, meaning that trial production is imminent. According to the X account @Haze2K1, which shared a snippet of Intel's milestones, a pre‑silicon hardware model of the Intel Arc Xe3 Celestial IP is being used to map out frequency and power usage in firmware. As a reminder, Intel's pre‑silicon validation platform enables OEM and IBV partners to boot and test new chip architectures months before any physical silicon is available, catching design issues much earlier in the development cycle.

Intel provides OEMs and IBVs access to a secure, cloud‑based environment that faithfully emulates hardware‑representative systems, allowing developers to validate firmware and software stacks from anywhere without the need for physical labs. Most likely, Intel is running massive emulations of hardware on FPGAs, which act as an ASIC chip—an Arc Xe3 GPU in this case. The pre‑silicon validation team is now optimizing the power‑frequency curve and the voltage in sleep, rest, and boost states, as well as their respective frequencies. With the Xe3 IP taking many forms, engineers are experimenting with every possible form factor, from mobile to discrete graphics. Additionally, data pathways depend on these frequency curves, which in turn rely on power states that allow voltage to spike up and down as the application requires. As this work is now complete, engineers are moving on to other areas for optimization, and once the silicon returns from volume production, it will be fully optimized. We expect the first trial of silicon soon, with volume production by the end of the year or in early 2026.

Intel today released the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers. Version 101.6739 Beta comes with a fix for certain functional issues PyTorch 2.7 users on Arc B-series "Battlemage" discrete GPUs and Arc 100V-series iGPUs, with torch.compile operations and use of certain data precisions. This is the only issue fixed with this driver release. The company on Tuesday announced that its driver releases since 101.6734 include gaming performance enhancements for its Arc 100V-series iGPUs powering Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" processors.

VideoCardz has put a spotlight on a compelling Intel Community announcement—ten days ago, a site moderator (RonaldM_Intel) disclosed that company engineers are currently engaged in the investigation of a major Arc graphics card-related issue. At the beginning of 2025, Hardware Unboxed uploaded a video article (see below) that delved into the Arc Xe2 B580 graphics card design's "big problem." Going back several months, review outlets observed B580 sample cards leveraging lower than expected performance when paired with older generation processors. As summarized by VideoCardz's recent report; significant performance drops were tracked when test units were linked up with AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or 5600 CPUs—relative to a more modern rig; powered by Team Red's Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Additionally, evaluators observed worrying signs when B580 cards were tested on platforms based on Intel's 9th Gen Core i5-9600K processor.

Budget-conscious buyers have embraced Team Blue's new generation cards, with many participants upgrading older builds with Intel Arc B580 12 GB and B570 10 GB graphics cards (original launch MSRPs: $250 and $220, respectively). Given that many owners will be sticking with prior-gen processors, industry watchdogs have leveled criticism at Team Blue—the company has disappointed many, with an apparent lack of action. Months after the fact—likely after a healthy intake of community feedback—Intel has officially acknowledged these issues. As disclosed by RonaldM_Intel's announcement: "thank you for your patience. We are aware of reports of performance sensitivity in some games when paired with older generation processors. We have increased our platform coverage to include more configurations in our validation process, and we are continuing to investigate optimizations."
