We're still holding out hope that Intel will continue its foray into discrete graphics and become a bigger challenger to stalwarts AMD and NVIDIA. Everything is up in the air with a change in leadership at the top. If you're looking for a positive development in Intel's discrete GPU plans, however, just head over to X...

If you asked us what we would want out of an upgraded Arc B-series ("Battlemage") GPU, it probably wouldn't have been "more video RAM," but that's because we're primarily gamers, not primarily AI researchers. The B580's 12GB of video RAM is more than sufficient for its needs as an entry-level gaming GPU, yet it's...

At a time when tariffs and the threat of much higher PC part prices have dominated the discussion, Intel is out here slashing prices on some of its newest desktop processor models based on Arrow Lake. And we're not talking about piddly price cuts, either. Intel sharpened its price-cutting blade and hacked $100 off the...

Doubters be damned, Intel's third-generation Arc Celestial GPUs are absolutely on the way. Not any time soon, mind you, but they're coming for sure. Intel Fellow and friend of the site Tom "TAP" Petersen told PC World back in December that design work for the Xe3-based third-generation Arc discrete GPU was done and...

Rumors of a bigger Battlemage GPU's demise may have been greatly exaggerated. Tech sleuth Haze spotted something interesting in the public shipping database over at NBD DATA: multiple entries for things like "SOCKET STIFFENER (STF), DESIGNED FOR BATTLEMAGE-G31." The listings are dated late March and were destined for...
