Just yesterday, we reported that one of Intel’s partners might be working on an Arc B580 GPU with 24GB of VRAM, doubling the base memory on the card. Now, it seems that an even more impressive GPU might be in the works, set to rival some of the best graphics cards. According to new leaks, we might soon see a dual-GPU Arc B580 with a whopping 48GB of VRAM.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a dual-GPU anything, much less from Intel. The company’s graphics division always targets the mainstream market, with a focus on bringing forth affordable solutions for everyone. Even workstation-oriented Arc GPUs don’t aim that high. Still, VideoCardz cites its own sources as it claims that one of Intel’s partners is indeed working on such a beastly graphics cards.
Of course, “beastly” can be considered an overstatement here, as the Arc B580 (based on the BMG-G21 chip) only offers up to 20 Xe cores and 2,560 shader units; it’s something akin to an Nvidia RTX 4060. But still, double that up and we’re getting 40 Xe cores and 5,120 shader units.
The most impressive part here would be the memory capacity. VideoCardz’ leak inadvertently serves to confirm the previous report that the Arc B580 might make an appearance in a 24GB version, seeing as the expected VRAM capacity for this new behemoth of a GPU is 48GB. Twice the GPU, twice the VRAM. This brings me back to the days of Nvidia’s GTX Titan Z.
It’s worth noting that this graphics card, if it’s indeed real, will not be an Intel reference design. It’s said to be exclusive to one of its partners. When asked about the GPU, the partner said that it cannot be discussed due to an NDA, which makes me think something might be up — but it’s really too early to say.
If the dual-GPU Arc B580 comes into being, it won’t be a gaming GPU. I could see it being used for AI workflows where 48GB of VRAM could be huge; fortunately, we don’t need that much video memory for gaming just yet. It’s hard to even guess how much it’d cost or when it could be available, but it’s possible that we might see it announced at Computex. Unfortunately, the 24GB version of the B580 is now said to only be available a few months later.
Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.
OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.
Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
