Just below is AMDwith the remaining 15% while Intel, a newcomer to the dedicated graphics card segment, has a residual presence in these statistics. However, this does not mean that I have thrown in the towel and Arc Intel which was launched in 2022 is the only graphics card launched in the market.
Especially since AMD has withdrawn from the gaming segment. high-end graphics as announced last August. News related to the second generation of Intel graphics always comes from official sources since they are implemented in the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 for laptops.
New Intel Battlemage
However, we still don’t know when it plans to launch them on the market for desktop computers. The latest news related to the launch of these suggests that it will be before the end of this year, or at least that is what the famous leaker Golden Pig claims.
It appears that Intel wants to showcase its commitment to dedicated PC graphics before NVIDIA does so with the RTX5080 and the RTX5090graphics which, if we pay attention to leaks, will mean a significant revival in terms of performance when implementing memory GDDR7.
Although AMD said it was temporarily abandoning the high-performance graphics market to focus on server GPUs, that doesn’t mean it won’t release the series. RX8000. AMD plans to announce its next generation of graphics in the first quarter of 2025, so it is more than likely that it will benefit, like NVIDIA, from CES 2025 which is being held in Las Vegas.
Intel Arc graphics range
Intel announced the first dedicated graphics in the second quarter of 2022 with the Intel Arc A380 with 6 GB of video memory and 8 Xe cores. In the third quarter of the same year, the number of models increased with the A770 in the versions with 8 and 16 GB of memory with 32 Xe cores (the most powerful model of all), the A750 and the A310. At the end of 2023, he presented the Intel Arc A580graphics with 8 GB of video memory and 24 Xe cores.
The poor performance offered by the Intel Arc A380 and other later models seriously affected sales. However, Intel has worked a lot on improve your performance However, thanks to numerous driver updates, these came to market too late.
Let’s hope that the new generation of Intel Battlemage graphics arrives on the market already mature, that is, with the performance it should offer from day one, although given the direction taken by the company in recent years, the possibilities it has to launch a graphics card on the market with high functionality, there are very few.
