Intel's Arc Battlemage GPUs Poised for December Release
Intel aims to launch its next-gen Battlemage desktop GPUs ahead of AMD and Nvidia, targeting the mid-range market segment.
- Intel's Battlemage GPUs are expected to debut in December, potentially giving Intel a market advantage over AMD and Nvidia.
- The new GPUs will utilize the Xe2-HPG architecture, previously seen in Intel's Lunar Lake processors.
- Intel's Battlemage lineup will feature up to 32 Xe2 cores, 16 GB of memory, and a 256-bit bus, manufactured on TSMC's 4nm process.
