Panther Lake Driver Files Reference Intel BMG-G31 GPU, Reviving Arc B770 Speculation

Reporters view the file entry as another hint in a year-long trail of references, with Intel offering no details.

Intel's new B390 iGPU in Panther Lake looks great, so a B770 mid-range GPU would be super exciting.
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.

Overview

  • A Panther Lake laptop graphics driver hosted by HP includes firmware labeled “BMG-G31,” which outlets link to the long-rumored Arc B770.
  • The discovery, flagged by a Reddit user after inspecting CES demo laptop software, suggests preliminary support rather than an impending launch.
  • Intel has not acknowledged the product, with Tom Petersen stating he cannot comment on unreleased or unannounced hardware.
  • Similar G31/B770 references have surfaced previously in Intel’s VTune software, earlier driver packages, and briefly on social channels before retraction.
  • Coverage highlights that only Arc B570 and B580 are currently available to consumers, prompting speculation that a mid-range B770 could fill the gap and that its CES absence may reflect timing or driver-readiness considerations.
