Intel Arc Pro B60 Battlematrix Preview: 192GB of VRAM for On-Premise AI

Intel Project Battlematrix brings substantial GPU memory capacity to workstation chassis through a multi-GPU design.

Conclusion
Intel’s Arc Pro B60 Battlematrix is an exciting platform that makes high-capacity GPU memory accessible at workstation price points. The dual-GPU card design addresses density constraints, the 24GB per GPU allocation suits LLM inference workloads, and the pricing structure creates compelling alternatives to established professional GPU ecosystems. For organizations prioritizing data sovereignty and cost efficiency over bleeding-edge performance, the platform merits consideration.

...

It is unknown how popular the eight-GPU battlematrix configuration will be compared to the incredible performance delivered by NVIDIA DGX Spark. The real story may be the single- and dual-card configurations, where $600-1,200 entry points dramatically lower barriers to private AI infrastructure exploration.

Intel Arc "Battlemage" BMG-G31 GPU Emerges in Official Software Support

The fate of Intel's long-rumored big "Battlemage" graphics card may not be entirely sealed, as Intel has quietly placed the name of its "BMG-G31" SKU into a VTune Profiler software update. This is so far the clearest signal yet that a formal product announcement may be approaching. The VTune...

@KompuKare I have been testing Fallout 4 with the B570 and a Core i5 10400. Seems to mostly be OK,apart from one graphical glitch. Not sure if that is the new Fallout 4 update or one of the mods I installed.

The updated exe certainly has played havoc with things - and unlike the new build for Skyrim AE, Fallout itself didn't seem to gain too much.

Someone far better at profiling - and especially game profiling - could probably analyse the loads of an the various threads to make educated guesses about where the various bottlenecks are.

However, the list iof factors is pretty big:
GPU architecture
GPU driver stack
CPU architecture
Memory latency
Memory bandwidth
Memory cache hits
CPU thread switching
NPC load of the game world area
Other FO4 scripts running
Etc.

I know to some extend there factors apply to most games and programs but Bethesda open-world games double so.

Crazy to think its been a whole year since the B580 was released. In other news... i just picked up cheap Acer B570 to mess about with

Got mine for under £140 with some vouchers I had. Runs fine so for off a 450W Corsair PSU and a Core i5 10400.

It was an ENB!

Not really convinced by most of those ENBs anyhow. Even when a Wabbajack modlist gives me presets, most are not my colour choices and some are extremely different and/or extremely dark.

With the DRAM shortage, if B770 gets release it will be 8GB?!

Then again since it is rumoured to be 256-bit it has to be 16GB, but maybe they'll paper launch it with almost no availability.

Intel Says It's "Thrilled" To See Gamers "Pumped" About Arc B770; Is The GPU Coming Soon?

Intel has mentioned that it's "thrilled" to see gamers excited about the Battlemage Arc B770 GPU in a reply to a user.

Well I can't speak for everyone but IMO Intel has lost out. There was a lot of excitement after initial Battlemage launch and the market was screaming out for mid range Battlemage but for whatever reason Intel dithered on its launch and I couldn't be bothered to keep waiting so I bought a 9600XT instead during BF.
 
Yeah, I’m the same. Held out as long as I could, but the prospect of price-hikes on GPUs (and I think they will be worse than AMD say) made me jump.
Still a believer in Arc, but given that celestial shouldn’t be too far away, I’m wondering who will be left to buy the B770. I’ve seen many people say they’ve jumped to AMD recently on the subreddit.
