Intel's Arc B-series "Battlemage" desktop graphics cards, including the B580 and B570 GPUs, have been well-received by reviewers and customers. Enthusiasts are now speculating about potential future launches of mid-tier or higher-end SKUs. There has been little talk about successors to Intel's mid-range Arc "Alchemist" A770 and A750 GPUs. However, the appearance of three new "Battlemage" PC IDs has reignited speculation, as discovered by Tomasz Gawroński.

Industry experts suggest that Intel may have moved on from Xe2 "Battlemage" products to focus on the Xe3 "Celestial" architecture and Xe4 "Druid" GPU IP. The three new PCI IDs could be related to a leak from late December, which hinted at Arc B580 variants with more VRAM, potentially aimed at workstation use. Insiders believe a product launch may be scheduled for later in 2025.
