According to rumors published by the YouTuber known as Moore’s Law is Dead, Intel has updated its plans regarding the upcoming Arc graphics card based on the Battlemage architecture. According to the leak, there will be no dedicated Battlemage-based graphics cards for laptops.
The leak source also claims that Intel plans to release Arc GPUs based on the Battlemage architecture in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025.
The Battlemage architecture will be used in Arc graphics cards, which are likely to be released later this year. However, the latest rumors suggest the cancellation of a dedicated Battlemage-based Arc graphics card for laptops.
For those who are unaware, Intel has integrated Arc graphics cards in its Core Ultra processors, but it also has dedicated Arc graphics cards. Currently, the highest model of a dedicated graphics card for laptops from Intel is the Arc A770M (based on the Alchemist architecture), with its Battlemage-based successor scheduled to arrive soon.
The rumor originates from the YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead, who previously shared details about Intel’s Battlemage technology. The previous report mentioned anticipated release dates and also stated that development issues indicated an “uncertain future.”
The latest rumor includes the first page of a leaked document that supposedly represents the “master document” outlining Intel’s plans for Battlemage-based Arc graphics cards.
The rumor states: “Battlemage cards will be available only in desktop systems and workstations. Adding cards to laptop product plans based on Battlemage technology is not anticipated.”
Furthermore, the source reports that plans for dedicated Battlemage graphics cards for laptops existed previously but have now been removed. The leak states that the above image, presumably from an Intel document leak, was updated on December 11th, 2023.
This means that there is less hope for Intel to produce a dedicated high-performance graphics card for laptops. However, the Battlemage-based Arc technology could still be impressive. I am very excited about the innovations in Intel’s GPU architecture team and wish them well as a new player in this field.
The latest rumor indicates that laptops will not receive dedicated Battlemage graphics cards. Nevertheless, the image provided by Intel showcases its potential capabilities.
Battlemage will still be used in integrated Arc graphics cards. However, with this latest rumor, it is saddening to hear that we won’t see new dedicated Arc graphics processors in Intel laptops. We should expect to hear more about Intel’s plans for the new Battlemage GPUs, but when exactly?
The YouTuber has shared additional details regarding the cancellation of dedicated Battlemage GPUs for laptops, which were previously discussed.
The expected release date of Intel Arc Battlemage, previously assumed to be in the second quarter of 2024, has been discarded according to the latest rumors. We may learn more about Intel Battlemage architecture for next-gen Arc graphics cards by the end of 2024 or early 2025.
I want to remain optimistic about the future of Intel Arc graphics cards, but these recent rumors do not look promising. We will keep you informed if any new information regarding Intel’s new Arc GPUs emerges!
