Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Slides on New Developments, Old Faces
Today turned out to be an oddly mixed day for chip stock Intel (INTC). It brought out some exciting news about the upcoming Battlemage CPU lineup, and some new bits about its role in a high-powered laptop, or rather, a laptop with high battery power in it. It also lost some names in its sales force that might be concerning. All of this together added up to concern from investors, as Intel shares slid over 2% in Friday afternoon's trading.

The B770, the latest in the series, is still expected to hit in the fourth quarter of this year. This should be particularly good news if it can lean toward the front half of the fourth quarter as opposed to the back, which would make the B770 one doozy of a Christmas shopping item. Second, there is the boost from Lenovo (LNVGY), by way of the ThinkPad T14s, Gen 6. Reports note that this laptop comes with a hefty 21 hours of battery life, and a lot of that is thanks to Intel's Lunar Lake processors, which serve as the underpinnings of this laptop. Reports call it an '…ideal balance between great everyday performance and efficiency.' And Then, The Losses This was all good news for Intel, but not all the news was so pleasant. Intel lost two fairly major names in its operation: its data center sales leader, and its public sector sales leader. Both Uday Yadati, who ran the data center sales, and Cameron Chehreh, who handled public sector, left the company recently. Yadati's departure was unexpected, reports note, and Chehreh first announced his departure on LinkedIn late Wednesday, reports noted. Yadati was, apparently, made a better offer elsewhere as he left to '…pursue another opportunity,' reports noted. And Chehreh was leaving to return to his 'software roots,' serving as president and general manager at a startup. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on one Buy, 26 Holds and four Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 33.11% loss in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $21.29 per share implies 5.76% upside potential.

Will Intel announce a new Battlemage gaming GPU next week?
The gaming GPU market desperately needs real competition — perhaps Intel will bring it to Computex? Officially, the company's only teasing new Arc Pro GPUs for pros, but its X account mysteriously keeps saying 'stay tuned' to commenters who ask about an unannounced B770 gaming GPU! If the Arc B770 is real — and follows the path laid out by the B580 and B570 before it — it could give Nvidia and AMD a run for the money.

Intel teases a new gaming GPU, and it's one many thought was canceled
Intel's best graphics card right now is the Arc B580, a midrange card that rivals Nvidia's RTX 4060. However, it's long been rumored that Intel might have more up its sleeve, and fans are waiting for it. Could an Arc B770 be in the works? We just got our first solid sign of it being real, and it might be closer than we thought. What a turn of events, given that we thought it might never see light of day! Intel's Battlemage lineup is quite modest so far, with only two GPUs out and (sort of) available: The B580 and the B570. However, in the previous generation of GPUs, Intel's flagship was the Arc A770, so it's really no wonder that gamers are asking for an update as to whether we can expect one to appear in this generation. Recommended Videos Despite the expectation, Intel has only announced an Arc Pro GPU, soon to be revealed at Computex. As the name suggests, this graphics card — whatever it might turn out to be — won't be a gaming product. VideoCardz says that we're looking at an Arc Pro A60 with 24GB of VRAM. However, Intel has more up its sleeve. Gamers flooded the comment section of the Arc Pro announcement, inquiring after a B770 GPU. Instead of ignoring these comments (which is what I would've expected), Intel replied along the lines of: 'Stay tuned.' Now that's a gamer with great taste. 💪 Stay tuned! — Intel (@intel) May 13, 2025 This puts many previous leaks into perspective. In the last few days, we've heard of an Arc B580 with 24GB of VRAM, but also a dual-GPU version of that card that would sport a whopping 48GB of video memory. While I could see the 24GB version being aimed at gamers, it's hard to imagine that the 48GB version would be. Now, the question is: Are those Arc B580 leaks really all just about the Arc B770 and the Arc Pro, or are there even more GPUs coming up soon? It's possible that all three of those things are true. Intel very well might announce a B770 during Computex, as rumor has it that the BMG-G21 GPU that powers the B580 is not the top chip in the lineup — Intel reportedly also has the BMG-G31, a flagship GPU that'd fit nicely in a potential B770. Many said it was canceled, but Intel's never officially said anything about it. The high-memory Arc B580 designs are said to be made by one of Intel's partners, so that could still happen. And, of course, the Arc Pro GPU is all but confirmed. It sounds like this year's Computex will be an interesting one for Intel. Stay tuned — we'll keep you posted.
