Unreleased Intel Arc B770 Battlemage GPU spotted in Panther Lake laptop drivers, but it still doesn't officially exist — why wasn't the "BMG-G31" announced at CES?

A detailed look at a PC computer equipped with an Intel Core processor, Intel Arc graphics processing units, and CORSAIR Dominator Titanium DDR5 Memory on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on January 8 2025.

Intel attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year in Las Vegas, primarily to show off its latest Core Ultra Series 3 mobile processors — codenamed "Panther Lake." They'll appear in modern laptops, like ASUS' refreshed ZenBook S14 and ZenBook S16, but the topic of PC gaming was mostly subdued.

It wasn't entirely absent, as Intel even took a jab at its rival by calling AMD's gaming handheld chips "ancient silicon" — but desktop PC gamers were left without any new exciting announcements. That might not have always been the plan, as firmware for a long-rumored Intel Arc Battlemage B770 GPU has appeared inside a Panther Lake-based driver package for an HP laptop (via VideoCardz.)
