While Intel's new Battlemage B580 graphic card isn't setting any records for gaming performance, it does have a few things going for it: namely matrix cores and a healthy chunk of VRAM. Both of these are handy for professional applications and AI stuff, so word that a 24 GB version has been shipped for research purposes could make the B580 a real budget powerhouse.
This little tidbit was spotted by X user Tomasz Gawroński who noticed a shipping document listing two entries for Battlemage G21 cards (aka Arc B580) with an all-important phrase: clamshell. Forget seafood, this is a way that GDDR6 memory modules can be wired on a graphics card, to allow double the amount of VRAM you'd normally get.
