  • PC World ☛ Arc B770 inbound? 4 new Intel Arc GPUs spotted in Linux drivers

    Intel’s Arc series of graphics cards have been met with hesitation, then excitement, as they’ve offered better value than both Nvidia and AMD at their respective price points. But the last new consumer card we saw was the second-gen Arc B580 way back in December, and the B570 is the only other one in the series. Where are the new cards? According to a new Linux driver, they’re…somewhere.

    A Twitter/X user going by @LasseKrkkinen spotted four new hardware identifiers in the latest round of Linux driver updates for Arc graphics cards. According to Tom’s Hardware, the “BMG” family label indicates that these are new members of the second-gen Battlemage line, which has so far only seen mid-range entries.
