Intel Arc Battlemage is the next graphics architecture that the chip giant will launch and according to the latest information, it will arrive in the final phase of 2024, soon before the Black Friday celebration. This event will take place on November 29th, so we can expect all of this month to launch.

The official presentation of this new graphics architecture has not yet taken place, but we know that it will be an evolution of the Intel Arc Alchemist, and We should not expect drastic changes. These are theoretically reserved for Intel Arc Celestial or Intel Arc Druid. At this point, we’ve seen leaks that point to this two graphics cores, BMG-10 and BMG-21, the first high-end and the second mid-range.

The Intel Arc Battlemage architecture will also be present on integrated GPUs new Intel Lunar Lake processors, which are expected to be introduced later this year. This will be a very important architecture for the chip giant and should bring important improvements in terms of both performance and efficiency, although it is still too early to draw conclusions. We have no choice but to wait for the results of the first independent tests.

Intel Arc Battlemage Keys

• New architecture with improved performance and efficiency.
• Changes to the memory subsystem to increase bandwidth.
• A new generation of ray tracing cores with higher performance.
• New XMX array units for artificial intelligence with hardware-accelerated Intel XeSS support.
• Intel Deep Link Technology.
• More graphics memory.
• A new production hub, more advanced than the current generation.

Some sources say that Intel Arc Battlemage will be available on medium and high-end graphics cards and for enthusiasts, but this is something that has raised doubts, as other rumors say that the same will happen as in the previous generation, and that we will only see low-end, mid-range and, at best, entry-level models to the high-end. If confirmed, the most powerful of this new generation could act as the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER.

The next generation of Intel graphics will arrive on the date to compete with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50, which is also scheduled to launch on The end of the year. The first to arrive are the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090, which are high-end graphics cards. We’ll see if Intel has something that can really compete with them, or if they decide to bet on the middle class again.

Intel could also use the launch of this new generation of graphics cards to market proprietary frame generation technology, which will be hardware accelerated and will also compete with NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation. It’s going to be a very busy year in the graphics sector, no doubt about it.
