Throughout late 2025 and early 2026, Intel's not so mysterious " BMG-G31 " GPU codename has popped up multiple times. Some of the pre-release information has tumbled out of official sources, and Intel's social media account teased a possible unveiling at this month's CES trade show—these posts were wiped from existence within hours. Team Blue supporters were looking forward to a possible unveiling and launch of the higher-end Arc B770 16 GB gaming graphics card, although a supposed 300 W TDP rating raised eyebrows. Instead, Intel concentrated on promoting "Panther Lake-H" mobile processors—whilst larger "Battlemage" products were relegated to mere drivel level status during CES 2026. Earlier today, two well-known hardware tech sleuths have linked the "BMG-G31" GPU die to unreleased professional-grade reference card designs.

Jaykihn declared that a speculated "Arc Pro B70" model could be arriving soon. In an exchange with VideoCardz, the tenured predictor "confirmed" that this SKU would be based on Intel's "G31" GPU. Additionally, another query resulted in an alleged 32 GB VRAM spec point being disclosed. Haze's commentary account weighed in with the suggestion of an upcoming "Arc Pro B65" design. Following recent rumors of Intel conducting further internal tests with the not-yet-released "Big Battlemage" GPU—reportedly minus AIB involvement —some members of the PC hardware community envisioned a pivot away from developing consumer-grade graphics cards. Bringing a new gaming graphics card model to market, in Q1 or Q2 2026, is a dicey endeavor ; due to the ongoing computer memory crisis.
