Intel has quietly submitted its patches for BMG-G31 GPU SKUs in the Mesa open-source graphics driver library. With IDs e220, e221, e222, and e223, Intel is gearing up the launch of its higher-end "Battlemage" B770. In the weeks leading up to Computex 2025, Intel [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and unofficial leaks about new Arc Xe2 "Battlemage" desktop graphics cards, including rumors of a high-end B770 model and placeholder mentions of a B750 on Intel Japan's website. Fans were excited, but at the Taipei Nangang show, neither card appeared. Then Tweakers.net reported, based on unnamed insiders, that the Battlemage-based Arc B770 is real and expected to launch in November 2025, though plans could still change.

With 32 Xe2 cores for the B770, Intel plans to pair 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. What is interesting is that Intel will use a PCIe 5.0 ×16 host bus, whereas the lower-end Arc B580 and Arc B570 use a PCIe 4.0 ×8 host bus. A faster PCIe standard is likely to follow as the higher-end Arc B770 yields significantly more compute bandwidth, so we will have to wait and see what Intel has prepared. If the rumored Q4 launch manifests, it will give gamers an interesting choice right around the holidays.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel has confirmed that its Arc A750 graphics card has reached end-of-life, as outlined in Product Change Notification #856777‑00 published yesterday. This announcement marks the beginning of the end for a model that arrived just two and a half years ago, and it offers partners a clear timetable for winding down orders and shipments. Customers should mark June 27, 2025, as their final opportunity to submit discontinuance orders for the Arc A750. After that date, no new orders will be accepted. All remaining units are slated for delivery by September 26, 2025. Intel recommends that system builders, integrators, and distributors assess their inventory and projected needs now and then place any last orders before the cutoff. Should questions arise, field sales representatives stand ready to assist.

When it launched in October 2022, the Arc A750 staked its claim in the performance segment of Intel's market-entry discrete GPU lineup. Based on the DG2‑512 processor in its ACM‑G10 form, the card leveraged TSMC's 6 nm to pack 21.7 billion transistors into a 406 square millimeter die. With 3,584 shading units, 224 texture units, and 112 ROPs, it delivered strong raster throughput. Its 28 ray‑tracing cores and 448 tensor cores brought hardware‑accelerated lighting and machine-learning inference within reach of mainstream gamers and creators alike. At the board level, the A750 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, running at an effective 16 Gbps across a 256-bit bus, which yields 512 GB/s of bandwidth. A base clock of 2,050 MHz could be boosted to 2,400 MHz, while a dual-slot design drew up to 225 W via one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector. Video outputs included HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 2.0 ports, all bridged to the host system over PCI‑Express 4.0 x16.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

A little over a year has passed since we last heard [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] about AMD releasing a sub-$200 chip for price-conscious gamers, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D for AM4. Well those rumors recently became reality as leaker @Zed__Wang on X spotted it on AMD's website. The "new" AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a six-core, twelve-thread processor built on the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] architecture using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates at a base clock of 3 GHz with boost speeds up to 4 GHz (the old 5600X3D runs 3.3 GHz base and 4.4 GHz boost clocks), with a 105 W power budget. The processor features 384 KB of L1 cache, 3 MB of L2 cache, and a substantial 96 MB of L3 cache.

The 5500X3D's main selling point is its 3D V-Cache technology combined with AM4 socket compatibility for existing systems. If you already have an AM4 system and aren't ready for a complete upgrade, the 5500X3D could be worth considering as a drop-in performance boost. The decision will largely depend on pricing when it becomes available since currently it isn't yet listed on any e-commerce websites. For new builds, a modern AM5 processor like the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] or [Only registered and activated users can see links.

AMD at its 2025 Advancing AI event name-dropped its two next generations of EPYC server processors to succeed the current EPYC "Turin" powered by Zen 5 microarchitecture. 2026 will see AMD debut the Zen 6 microarchitecture, and its main workhorse for the server segment will be EPYC "Venice." This processor will likely see a generational increase in CPU core counts, increased IPC from the full-sized Zen 6 cores, support for newer ISA, and an updated I/O package. AMD is looking to pack "Venice" with up to 256 CPU cores per package.

AMD is looking to increase the CPU core count per CCD (CPU complex die) with "Zen 6." The company plans to build these CCDs on the 2 nm TSMC N2 process node. The sIOD (server I/O die) of "Venice" implements PCI-Express Gen 6 for a generational doubling in bandwidth to GPUs, SSDs, and NICs. AMD is also claiming memory bandwidth as high as 1.6 TB/s. There are a couple of ways they can go about achieving this, either by increasing the memory clock speeds, or giving the processor a 16-channel DDR5 memory interface, up from the current 12-channel DDR5. The company could also add support for multichannel DIMM standards, such as MR-DIMM and MCR-DIMMs. All said and done, AMD is claiming a 70% increase in multithreaded performance over the current EPYC "Turin," which we assume is comparing the highest performing part to its next-gen successor.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

TrendForce's latest investigations reveal that 1Q25 revenue for the global IC design industry reached US$77.4 billion, marking a 6% QoQ increase and setting a new record high. This growth was fueled by early stocking ahead of new U.S. tariffs on electronics and the ongoing construction of AI data centers around the world, which sustained strong chip demand despite the traditional off-season.

NVIDIA remained the top-ranking IC design company, with Q1 revenue surging to $42.3 billion—up 12% QoQ and 72% YoY—thanks to increasing shipments of its new Blackwell platform. Although its H20 chip is constrained by updated U.S. export controls and is expected to incur losses in Q2, the higher-margin Blackwell is poised to replace the Hopper platform gradually, cushioning the financial impact.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

In August, AMD will release ROCm 7, its open computing platform for high‑performance computing, machine learning, and scientific applications. This version will support a range of hardware, from Ryzen AI-equipped laptops to Radeon AI Pro desktop cards and server-grade Instinct GPUs, which have just received an update. Before the end of 2025, ROCm 7 will be integrated directly into Linux and Windows, allowing for a seamless installation process with just a few clicks. AMD isn't planning to update ROCm once every few months, either. Instead, developers will receive day-zero fixes and a major update every two weeks, complete with performance enhancements and new features. Additionally, a dedicated Dev Cloud will provide everyone with instant access to the latest AMD hardware for testing and experimentation.

Early benchmarks are encouraging. On one test, an Instinct MI300X running ROCm 7 reached roughly three times the speed recorded with the original ROCm 6 release. Of course, your mileage will vary depending on model choice, quantization, and other factors. This shift follows comments from AMD's Senior Vice President and Chief Software Officer, Andrej Zdravkovic, whom [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. He emphasized ROCm's open-source design and the utility of HIPIFY, a tool that converts CUDA code to run on ROCm. This will enable a full-scale ROCm transition, now accelerated by a 3x performance uplift simply by updating the software version. If ROCm 7 lives up to its promise, AMD could finally unlock [Only registered and activated users can see links.
