Intel Arc B750 – a new graphics card that could shuffle the cards in the mid-range

The Intel Arc B750 is an upcoming graphics card designed to take Intel’s performance to the next level while offering an alternative to NVIDIA and AMD models. After the first generation Alchemist (Arc A-series), which showed the company’s ambitions, the second generation Battlemage arrived in 2024. The latter brought the Arc B570 and B580 models, which quickly found favour with mid-range gamers. Now, it’s the B750 that fans’ attention is turning to, with performance expected to be a class above without having to reach for expensive flagships like the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or Radeon RX 7800 XT.

Intel Arc B750 design and cooling

Although Intel hasn’t yet revealed official images or detailed specifications, the Intel Arc B750 is expected to maintain the company’s familiar dual-slot heatsink design philosophy. This approach has already proven itself with the Arc B570 and B580 models, but a more powerful card will need a more robust solution to handle the higher power consumption and greater thermal performance.

With an estimated consumption of 200 to 250 watts, Intel will need to reach for a more robust heatsink and higher airflow fans. More advanced heat-pipe technology or higher quality thermal materials are also in play to ensure quiet and efficient operation. The use of a more powerful power supply is also very likely, probably with a pair of 8-pin connectors to ensure the stability of the card even at high frequencies.

Expected specifications of the Intel Arc B750

We don’t know the official specs of the Intel Arc B750 yet, but the available leaks and guesses already sketch a pretty clear picture. The card is supposed to be based on the Xe2 Battlemage architecture manufactured using the 5 nm process at TSMC with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and will come with a noticeable performance increase over the B570 and B580 models. The biggest changes are expected to be in the memory configuration, number of compute units, and more powerful solutions for ray tracing and AI acceleration.

The table shows that the Intel Arc B750 will struggle to compete with the GeForce RTX 4070 and Radeon RX 7800 XT. Of course, it should be taken into account that we are talking about unofficial information and specifications may vary slightly upon release. But even so, noticeably higher performance over the B580 is expected, better efficiency in both ray tracing and AI-powered tasks. Power consumption is expected to be in the 200 to 250 watt range, which puts the card on the borderline between mid-range and high-end.

Availability

There are still a lot of question marks hanging around the release of the Intel Arc B750. The name of the card has already appeared on Intel’s official Japanese site, but the link so far only led to the specifications of the B570 model. This suggests that Intel has either made a mistake or is preparing a page that it hasn’t managed to launch yet. Estimates suggest that the B750 could show up in late 2025 at the earliest, but more realistically in 2026. There is even speculation that the card may be delayed or even cancelled.

Conclusion

From both the available leaks and logical guesses, it’s clear that the Intel Arc B750 could be a key move that will see Intel expand its presence in the mid-range and higher-end of dedicated graphics cards. It should offer performance above the B570 and B580, 16GB of memory and a wider bus, which puts it in direct contention with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and Radeon RX 7800 XT cards.

Only the release date remains a question mark – the card could appear in late 2025 or as late as 2026, with the risk of delay or cancellation still looming. However, if it hits store shelves, it could become a very interesting alternative for gamers who want strong performance without having to pay premium prices.
