The 2nd and 3rd Gen Arc lineups, codenamed Battlemade and Celestial, will remain in development and release in 20, respectively. On the bright side, Intel has assured its fans that its graphics roadmap is unchanged. Koduri, on the other hand, has been promoted to the post of Chief Architect of the entire portfolio, managing both the CPU and GPU designs. The discrete GPU IP aimed at gamers is now part of the Client Computing Group (CCG), while the GPGPU segment responsible for Ponte Vecchio has been merged with the Data Center business. Raja’s team has been split into two parts. Late last year, Intel merged its Accelerated Computing and Graphics Group (AXG) with its CPU businesses. The lower-end BGM-G21 core will succeed Alchemist/Alchemist+ in the latter half of the second quarter. The BGM-G10 will be the top-end die with GeForce RTX 4080-level gaming performance and similar TBP with an early Q2 2024 launch. Intel’s highly-anticipated Arc GPU is expected to give gamers a much-needed third option to AMD and Nvidia when released. Ever since Intel Arc GPUs launched, the processor giant promised to offer regular driver updates. It’ll be the first Arc lineup to feature true enthusiast-grade 4K graphics cards with big AD102/Navi 31-grade dies and wider buses and cache layers. Battlemage will follow up Alchemist+ in the first half of 2024.
