- Intel’s rumored high-end battlemage GPUs have been canceled according to a reliable leaks
- Its ‘BMG-G31’ matricated was jerked to have a 256-bit memory bus with 32 xe kernes
- We could still see advanced offers with the upcoming Celestial ARC setup
While Intels Battlemage ARC B580 and B570 GPUs have provided good and affordable medium-sized PC players, Team Blue is not yet to make an advanced GPU compete with NVIDIA (since AMD also primarily focuses on the middle class space forward). Unfortunately, it now seems that the wait will continue.
According to a reputable delicious, Jaykihn0 on X, Intel’s supposed high-end battlemage GPU plans were shortened in the 3rd quarter of 2024: In other words, the XE2-based GPUs have allegedly been canceled with up to 24 GB VRAM. Die ‘BMG-G31’ reportedly had a 256-bit memory bus with 32 XE kernels and at least 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM.
Any hope of a strong high-end alternative to NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs is apparently slimmer than ever, as both AMD and Intel continue to target affordable opportunities for consumers.
While Jaykihn0 suggests that there are currently no updates about the upcoming heavenly discreet GPU lineup, it is certainly not over for Intel that can potentially delve into the advanced market. Celestial GPUs are joined to use XE3P architecture that may involve some advanced GPUs and improved features like Xess Frame Generation – it is not yet clear when they will be ready for consumers.
Meanwhile, Intel’s XE3 architecture will be used for upcoming Panther Lake processors, probably including mobile processors for ultrabooks and handhelds. There is plenty to look forward to on Team Blue’s End, especially after success with its current battlemage GPUs, and processors such as Core Ultra 7 258V.
We seriously need any advanced competition we can get from Intel
If that wasn’t already clear enough, the GPU market is in great need of a helping hand: scalping, price inflation and low availability are at a peak at all times and the only way I can see this change is if consumers do not release themselves to buy overpriced GPUs. Most importantly, we need more advanced GPUs that Isn’t it From Nvidia.
Team Green’s Blackwell GPU lineup is the only product range that includes real advanced options this generation, and it is not a surprise that there is hardly any stock for Founder’s Edition Card, considering their popularity and demand.
While AMD’s Middle Class Radeon RX 9070 XT is coming to incredible $ 599/£ 569, there is no reference card, which means consumers have to rely on AIB Partner cards sold by retailers – currently charging over $ 200 more than MSRP. Don’t believe me? Just look at Best Buy.
With this in mind, Intel is potentially the only one in the market that can offer advanced alternatives in the near future: I admit it is difficult to suggest that any of these GPUs would beat Nvidia’s RTX 5090, but PC players need all the industry we can get.
