So far, the B770 has been more vapourware than GPU, with no firm specs and nothing to show on stage. Still, the dark satanic rumour mill has kept the faith alive, suggesting the card could come armed with 32 Xe2 cores, 16GB of VRAM and a 256-bit memory interface.

If it shows up, it will sit above the B580 and B570, which have been doing alright in the budget segment as alternatives to Nvidia’s ageing RTX 4060. Those cards have found fans thanks to decent VRAM and not treating buyers like cash machines.

Whether the B770 will follow that pricing logic or get ideas above its station remains to be seen. Intel’s GPU adventure has been long on ambition and short on execution, but continued leaks hint there’s still a pulse.

For now, it’s just another name in the pile alongside Half-Life 3, Switch 2, and whatever PS6 silicon Sony’s cooking. But at least someone’s still asking if the B770’s real. That’s more than can be said for some other vaporware.
