Shipping manifest reveals Intel Arc Battlemage G31 GPU
Intel’s latest generation of Arc graphics cards, codenamed Battlemage, might soon receive a new entry. The G31 GPU has been the subject of numerous rumours, with some suggesting that Intel had either abandoned or significantly changed its plans since late 2024. However, new information sourced from leaked shipping manifests contradicts those cancellation whispers.
According to the shipping manifest found by Haze, the hardware labelled ‘Battlemage G31′ or ‘BGM-31′ is still being transported between Intel labs. Specifically, shipments from late March were reportedly sent to Intel Vietnam, the facility previously responsible for producing Intel’s Limited Edition (reference) Arc cards like the B580 and B570. This could hint that Intel is working on a new Limited Edition design for an upcoming Battlemage desktop GPU based on the G31 die.
Despite this apparent confirmation of ongoing development, the exact release timing for G31 remains unknown.
In addition to the BMG G31 GPU, there are rumours of an Arc GPU with 24GB of VRAM. It’s unclear if this GPU is targeting gamers or professionals, but the sheer amount of VRAM suggests the latter.
KitGuru says: Do you think Intel will still launch a higher-end Battlemage GPU? If so, how would it compare with AMD and Nvidia graphics cards?
