• Rumors trace at Intel’s Arc B770 unveiling at Computex this Could
• Nvidia is predicted to launch its RTX 5060 GPU on Could 19 near Computex
• The Arc B770 is rumored to characteristic 16GB of VRAM, in comparison with the RTX 5060’s 8GB

Whereas there’s been no official affirmation from Nvidia, all indicators level in direction of a Could 19 launch for its new RTX 5060 GPU. Nonetheless, it might not be a easy crusing launch for Group Inexperienced, as each AMD and, extra importantly, Intel have sturdy competitors on the horizon.

In line with Japanese media outlet Gazlog, Intel’s Arc B770 GPU is predicted to be unveiled at Computex, round Nvidia’s RTX 5060 rumored launch date. It is anticipated to be a extra highly effective middle-range tier GPU in comparison with the Arc B570 and B580 counterparts, that includes 16GB of VRAM and a 256-bit reminiscence bus.

This comes alongside AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT, which is at the very least rumored to be unveiled round Computex and its fierce rivals’ RTX 5060 launch. Group Inexperienced has far more to fret about now, significantly with the controversy surrounding the brand new GPU’s 8GB VRAM configuration.

With each AMD’s RX 9060 XT and Intel’s purported Arc B770 launching with 16GB of VRAM (be aware that AMD’s GPU may even have an 8GB variant), it might simply depart Nvidia’s RTX 5060 in a more durable spot than earlier than.

There isn’t any clarification on whether or not the B770 will characteristic 16GB GDDR6 or GDDR7 VRAM, however a earlier rumor reported by Wccftech suggests Group Blue could also be working to make use of GDDR7 reminiscence chips for next-gen GPUs – and this can be the ‘Celestial’ lineup, however there’s additionally an opportunity the Arc B770 may very well be first to see this transformation.

If that is professional, Intel deserves reward for abandoning 8GB GPUs totally

It is already clear that Intel is conscious of 8GB GPUs and the damaging consensus surrounding them; its A770 GPU featured each 16GB and 8GB variants, and it is secure to say the latter does not reduce it for triple-A gaming at the moment (except you get pleasure from continually adjusting graphics settings).

Thankfully, its newer Arc B570 and B580 have 10GB and 12GB VRAM configurations, respectively – and it seems like Group Blue is eliminating 8GB with the rumored B770 for 16GB as a substitute (unsurprisingly so, if it is certainly a extra highly effective GPU).

Moreover the ray tracing capabilities, DLSS 4, Multi-Body Era, and GDDR7 VRAM, I might argue that the Arc B770 (based mostly on the rumors) seems just like the extra interesting graphics card over the RTX 5060. Intel is progressively increasing its XeSS upscaling methodology, together with body technology, so it is going to be nice to see the rumored GPU promote nicely.

I am hoping that Group Blue’s efforts with this 16GB GPU are acquired nicely by customers, as a result of it may very well be a approach for each Nvidia and AMD to lastly abandon 8GB VRAM capacities for future GPUs.
