Intel Arc: Partner to plan 55 GPUs with dual B580s and 48GB
New Intel ideas for Computex 2025 are expected. There likely won’t be larger battle graphics cards like the B770 or B750, but Intel Arc Pro and possibly a B580 with 24GB of storage each. And according to a new rumor, there’s also a dual B580 GPU variant with 48GB.
Exclusively with a consulting partner?
This is a video card, according to an anonymous source. It’s said to be an exclusive offering from one of Intel’s board partners. When asked about this, these partners cited a reference to an NDA they declined to comment on—what video pricing is there as confirmation? Dual GPUs haven’t been around for very long.
The last graphics cards to combine two mainstream GPUs on one PCB were the AMD Radeon R9 295×2 (review) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z. In the gaming world, dual GPU graphics cards haven’t been a problem since then.

Probably not a gaming product
And even with Intel, it should be a product aimed at professional users if this variant actually appears. Applications can solve multiple GPUs more efficiently and with fewer problems because arithmetic work can be perfectly parallelized, while common rendering on a frame or alternating frame rendering in games in the past could not be implemented without serious disadvantages in the frame during the era of super resolution and frame generation, the implementation should be even more complicated.
