After their initial foray with the Arc Alchemist , Intel continues to pursue a foothold in the consumer graphics card market. They already had a series of GPUs planned for the long term, but even the Alchemist's rocky debut hasn't led them to abandon the project prematurely, and they remain committed to a long-term strategy. Thus, the Arc Battlemage series is still on track for 2024.
Intel has published a new client PC roadmap for the Japanese website 4Gamer. It showcases this year's releases, including the 14th generation Core series , the Core Ultra 100 series , the Xeon Sapphire Rapids , and the Arc A580 . Looking ahead to 2024, Intel promises the Arc Battlemage series, which will be released next year.
The Arc Battlemage are preparing to release in 2024
Intel has already confirmed that Battlemage will be part of its catalog for the 2023-2024 cycle. They have not specified in which of the quarters they will be released. Intel has not provided any new information about Battlemage, so the only information that has come out is rumors and speculation,
The leaked slide says it will have a new type of memory, possibly GDDR6X . It's also said to feature an improved ray tracing architecture and some microarchitectural enhancements. They'll also focus on next-gen AI rendering technologies and offer improved Deep Link support for GPU workloads.
Battlemage is also expected to officially target the performance and enthusiast segments . This would see Intel enter the high-end market. If they continue their trend of offering performance-based pricing, they could easily have more attractive graphics cards than those from Intel and AMD. Early speculation suggests that the BMG-G10 GPU, currently in development, will target a power output of 225W. It's also anticipated that the BMG-G21 will be a 150W product.
