- Rumors suggest Intels ARC B770 Disclosure on Computex this May
- Nvidia is expected to launch its RTX 5060 GPU on May 19 Close to Computex
- ARC B770 RUNS TO HAVE 16GB VRAM COMPLETE WITH RTX 5060’S 8 GB
While there has been no official confirmation from Nvidia, all signs point to a launch of 19 May for its new RTX 5060 GPU. However, it may not be a smooth sailing launch for Team Green, as both AMD and, more importantly, Intel have a strong competition on the horizon.
According to the Japanese media offering Gazlog, Intels ARC B770 GPU is expected to be revealed on Computex, around Nvidia’s RTX 5060 rumored launch date. It is expected to be a more powerful middle-range Tier GPU compared to the ARC B570 and the B580 counterparts with 16 GB of VRAM and a 256-bit memory bus.
This comes along with the AMDS RADEON RX 9060 XT, which at least is jerked to be revealed around Computex and its hard rivals’ RTX 5060 launch. Team Green has much more to worry about now, especially with the controversy around the new GPU’s 8 GB VRAM configuration.
With both AMDS RX 9060 XT and Intel’s alleged ARC B770 launch with 16 GB VRAM (note that AMDS GPU will also have an 8 GB variant), it can just leave Nvidia’s RTX 5060 in a harder place than before.
There is no clarification as to whether the B770 will contain 16 GB GDDR6 or GDDR7 VRAM, but a previous rumor reported by WCCFTECH suggests that Team Blue may be working to use the GDDR7 memory chips for the next gene GPUs and this may be the ‘heavenly’ lineup, but there is also a chance that Arc B770 could be first to see this change.
If this is legitimate, Intel deserves praise for giving up 8 GB GPUs altogether
It is already clear that Intel is aware of 8 GB GPUs and the negative consensus around them; Its A770 GPU contained both 16GB and 8GB of variants, and it is safe to say that the latter does not cut it to Triple-A games today (unless you are constantly enjoying adjusting graphics settings).
Fortunately, its newer ARC B570 and B580 have 10 GB and 12GB of VRAM configurations respectively – and it looks like Team Blue is removing 8 GB with the rumored B770 for 16 GB instead (surprising if it is actually a more powerful GPU).
In addition to the beam pording features, DLSS 4, Multi-Frame Generation and GDDR7 VRAM, I would argue that the ARC B770 (based on the rumors) looks like the more appealing graphics card over the RTX 5060. Intel, which gradually expands its Xess call method, including framework generation, so it will be good to see those who are common GPU that is good.
I hope Team Blue’s efforts with this 16GB GPA are well received by consumers because it can be a way for both NVIDIA and AMD to finally give up 8 GB VRAM capacities for future GPUs.
