Intel’s larger Battlemage GPU has now been shown up close. Tech Guy Beau published a full teardown of the single-fan Arc Pro B70 32GB, exposing the BMG-G31 package and giving us a clear look at the silicon used in Intel’s current top Arc Pro card.

Using the roughly 25 mm x 15 mm die dimensions seen in the teardown, the area works out to about 375 mm². That is only 7 mm² above the earlier 368 mm² figure , a difference of about 1.9%. For a hand measurement taken from teardown footage, that is well within the range where perspective, die edge visibility, and rounding can explain the gap.

BMG-G31 is currently used in Intel’s Arc Pro B70 and B65 workstation cards. The B70 carries 32 Xe cores, 32 GB of GDDR6 memory, and a 256-bit memory bus. The card offers around 45% higher performance than Arc Pro B60 in a small set of gaming titles. That made BMG-G31 relevant well beyond workstation workloads, even without a gaming-branded Arc B770 on shelves.

Tech Guy Beau also shows how to detach the power cable and measures the mounting holes (from that we got the die measurements).
