Intel Arc Pro B70 rumored to launch this quarter alongside Arrow Lake Refresh
Intel’s CES 2026 presentation was basically a Panther Lake discussion, with little to no information about other products. Unfortunately for gamers, Intel did not announce the Arc B770 graphics card that many have been waiting for. At this point, no one knows when, or if, this card will ever be released. As we reported , at least two board partners did not even have test cards in their labs to begin working on their own implementations.
However, just as we shared this information, leakers revealed that Intel does have plans to launch a BMG-G31 GPU, just not as a gaming card. Launching a B770 right now would be a tough decision, given DRAM price increases and the fact that BMG-G31 is a 256-bit design, so it would almost certainly ship with at least 16GB of memory. That would make the card harder to position as a strong value option.
The rumored card that should launch soon is the Arc Pro B70 , a new addition to the Battlemage workstation series. In fact, leakers also claim there is a Pro B65 version , but for the B70 we now have a general launch window. Bionic_Sqush, a reliable Intel leaker, claims the B70 will launch this quarter. The leaker adds that the card should appear alongside ARL-R, which stands for Arrow Lake Refresh, also referred to as the Core Ultra 200K Plus series. Those are also expected this quarter, with a launch window between March and April, according to the claim.

Given that Intel typically doubles memory capacity on the Pro variants, it is reasonable to assume the B70 has 32GB of memory. If it uses the full BMG-G31 GPU, it would also have 5,120 FP32 cores, double that of the Arc B580.
Technically, nothing should stop gamers from buying this card and using it for gaming. However, Intel has a confusing strategy for the Arc Pro series, often limiting availability to system integrators and OEMs, so buying these cards may be quite problematic. The B60, for instance, only started appearing in retail in larger numbers this month, even though it was officially on the DIY market for a few months.
