Apparently, a revealed roadmap shows us plans for Intel for this 2024, among which we can see something that catches our attention a little, is that, apparently, they will continue to bet on dedicated graphics, with the code or name “Battle Mage”
The last launch of this type of component was not a great success, at least on the part of Intel, but they believe that the new model could work, of which more details should be known in the near future, since its release would be this next year which is about to start.
New dedicated graphics in 2024?
Apparently, the new roadmap for the coming 2024 will result in the Battlemagewith an Xe2-HPG microarchitecture which will encompass two different GPUs: the BMG-G10 (with a rated power of up to 225 W) and the BMG-G21 (with a rated power of up to 150 W).
The release, according to Intel itself, should take place in the second quarter of 2024, that is, between April and June, although we all know that this is very theoretical and could undergo some changes, although we do not think not that it will. delayed much longer in this case. It seems like they have everything planned out and would like to introduce it as soon as possible.
Within the features What we know about these new GPUs we can highlight;
- X² HPG Architecture
- 56 vehicle cores
- 448 XV (EU)
- Each XVE unit consists of 2 shaders
- 112 MB of hidden Adamantine
- 16 GB of 256-bit GDDR6X video memory
- Power consumption up to 225 W
We don’t have much more data, even with them we cannot deduce if it will be a good launch or a new failure, for now we will have to wait to learn more about them, which will not take long to do so. know, since they intend to market them in less than six months.
For now we will settle for the Arc Xe architecture.Alchemist» which was presented to try to stand up to AMD’s RDNA 3 iGPUs, but which they did not consider sufficient, and which they wish to improve, due to the lack of success compared to what was expected two.
These new integrated graphics cards are designed for both desktops and laptops, so we should see different models and versions suitable for each type.
And you, what do you expect from these new Intel GPUs? Will they be up to the task next year? Or will they lose the battle against AMD which is becoming very strong.
Some sources assure that if all goes well, we could even see these graphics presented at CES in Las Vegas next January, which, personally, I consider very rushed, since there are only a little more than 15 days left . , but that, of course, if that is the case, we are not going to oppose it, it would be excellent news that would surely move us forward towards its launch at the beginning of the second quarter.
Intel knows that if it wants to regain and consolidate the top spot in this sector, it needs to get everything right, and the sooner the better. A big change is expected in this architecture, let’s hope they don’t disappoint us.
