Recently, Intel held a special event in Tokyo, Japan, to introduce its "AI Everywhere" program and related products, with a focus on the newly released Core Ultra processors and fifth-generation Xeon Scalable processors, mainly selling artificial intelligence (AI) processing.
According to 4gamer, during the event, Intel showed a client product roadmap showing that the next-generation Arc "Battlemage" discrete graphics card with XE2-HPG architecture will be released in 2024, targeting the client "gaming and professional" segment. However, Intel then told WCCFTECH that the X-axis on the roadmap refers to 2024 and beyond, and does not represent a specific time. While Intel didn't affirm the timeline on the roadmap, it didn't deny it either. Previously, Intel researcher Tom Peterson said in an interview with ** that BattleMage will be simplified into two architectures, namely XE2-LPG for integrated graphics and XE2-HPG for discrete graphics cards, which will simplify driver development, reduce costs and improve compatibility. Among them, Lunar Lake's core graphics will first use the XE2-LPG architecture, which is scheduled to be put into production in 2024, and the GPU used by the discrete graphics card will appear earlier than the GPU module with integrated processors, which almost means that Battlemage will also be released in 2024.
It is rumored that the flagship chip of the next-generation Battlemage is BMG-G10, which has 56 XE cores, corresponding to 448 XVE (EU), each XVE has 2 shaders, and the Adantine cache is 112MB, with GDDR6X video memory, the video memory capacity should be 16GB, and the video memory bit width is 256 bits. The new generation of GPUs continues to choose TSMC foundry, which is manufactured using 4nm process, and the power consumption of the whole card should be controlled at 225W. There is news that Intel may choose to release between the second and third quarters of 2024.
