Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) filings can often be a catch-all, including products planned for release that may or may not see the light of day. However, the latest from MAXSUN, which includes references to a MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 iCraft 24G and MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 iCraft 24G OC GPU, adds weight to the rumor that Intel is planning to announce one or more GPUs with 24GB of VRAM at Computex next week.

New listing indicates that Intel Arc B580 GPUs with 24GB of VRAM are on the way.

Last week, Intel took to social media to tease that it was planning to announce multiple Intel Arc Pro GPUs at Computex, aimed at the AI and workstation market. With this new listing from MAXSUN, it does look like Intel's partners have been working with the premise that there will be a consumer-focused Intel Arc B580 with 24GB of VRAM, with designs similar to the current gaming-focused Intel Arc B580 12GB graphics card.

Again, this could simply be a placeholder catch-all listing, so it remains to be seen if the 24GB 'Battlemage' GPU will be limited to new Intel Arc Pro cards or if there will also be a B580 with 24GB of VRAM with a more traditional PC gaming design.

Rumors pointing to a 24GB Battlemage GPU have been circulating for months from various sources, including Intel partners like SPARKLE. Having 24GB of VRAM will benefit memory-intensive workloads; however, with the current Intel Arc B580 featuring 12GB of VRAM, targeting RTX 4060-level 1440p gaming, doubling the capacity won't affect performance in most games.

We're hoping for Intel to announce a more powerful Battlemage GPU for the desktop market that uses the beefier BMG-G31 chip. This would be the Intel Arc B770, the successor to the Intel Arc A770, targeting the mid-range market dominated by cards like the GeForce RTX 4070. The BMG-G31 chip could also work as a more powerful Intel Arc Pro GPU with 32GB of VRAM.

With all of the turmoil surrounding Intel over the past year or so, the future of discrete Arc gaming products is currently surrounded by an array of question marks. The good news is that we don't have to wait long for answers, as Computex 2025 kicks off next week in Taipei.
