VCZ is reporting on a leak that big Battlemage G31 chip will be found in B65 Pro and B70 Pro. No VRAM size yet but they suspect 32GB or more. Another key spec is larger memory bandwidth. So far no consumer version using the same chip and Intel haven't said anything about it to tech reporting outlets.

B70 will be available March 25 (today) with a starting price of $950 USD. That's about $1500 CAD so if it's as fast as Radeon AI 9700 and $400 cheaper, may be a good buy, assuming support is there.

CC has a listing but no units available to sell. $1300 before tax that's about $800 to $900 cheaper than Radeon AI 9700 for same amount of VRAM.

Some reviews are coming out but the most damning thing is that even Intel's fork of VLLM is behind in development. Level1's video said it best, slightly cheaper price for experimentation. MILD is on the side that this will be the last Intel dGPU and very skeptical of any kind of good performance because it's a last gen GPU (can't do INT4).
