- A double-gpu design is returning but it is not intended for players this time
- 48 GB of memory sounds impressive, but will it actually deliver meaningful AI evil?
- Without benchmarks and specifications this short is more rumor than revolution right now
Intel may be preparing to launch an unusual graphics card with two ARC B580 GPU chips and 48 GB of memory, the reports have claimed.
While this is not an official Intel product, it seems to be a custom design developed by one of Intel’s board partners who remain not named due to non-revelation agreements.
What makes this card remarkable is the return of a double-gpu layout using consumer class chips something the industry has not seen in several years.
48 GB memory suggests AI potential
This particular model reportedly combines two B580 GPUs, each paired with 24 GB of memory, a total of 48 GB on a single card.
The intention does not appear to be games that raise questions about the target audience. Given the high memory and calculation potential, it is a possibility that it is intended for AI development or other high capacity workloads.
Although 48 GB still lacks the memory capacity at top-level professional accelerators, the use of consumer quality GPUs could offer a cost-effective alternative to some training scenarios.
Without the Benchmark or detailed architectural information, it is still difficult to determine whether this configuration could compete with even intermediate professional GPUs.
For users who compare it to the best GPUs currently available, skepticism is justified. No other board partners have been linked to similar designs and it is still unclear whether this is a disposable experiment or part of a wider strategy.
This development may also interest content creators. With such a high memory ceiling, it could appeal to users looking for the best laptops for video editing or for Photoshop, provided future mobile variants appear.
But until several technical data is released, this card is considered best as a curiosity rather than a safe effort.
