Intel has n’t said much about itsgraphics cardslately . We saw the launching of theArc A770 and A750late last twelvemonth , andthe A580just a few month ago , but after the departure of Raja Koduri from Intel ’s graphics division to begin with this year , the future tense of Intel Arc has been a scrap patchy . It now appears Intel is still planning to deliver on its road mapping , though .

A slide shared with Nipponese gambling outlet4Gamershows that Intel is planning to launch a next - gen GPU in 2024 . This lines up with Intel ’s initial road map , which promised that gamers would see next - gen Battlemage GPUs some time in early 2024 .

As for when in 2024 we ’ll see these GPUs , it ’s not clear properly now . RedGamingTech(viaVideoCardz ) shared a leaked interior slide from Intel showing the flagship Battlemage GPU arriving between April and June of 2024 . The slide also shows an “ other enabling ” point in the first few months of the yr , suggesting Intel may go with a gradual rollout of its next - gen GPUs .

We may even discover about the cards at CES 2024 in January . Intel has confirmed already that it ’s host a keynote on January 9 titled “ AI Everywhere . ” Intel just launch itsCore Ultra CPUs for laptopson December 14 , so it ’s not clear what newfangled announcements the company is project for CES . If Battlemage is indeed arriving in the first few month of 2024 , we expect that it will receive a nod during the keynote .

Intel is n’t likely going to make large claim about Battlemage , however . Its first coevals of Arc GPUs had a notorious loss cycle , with several delays and hearsay of cancellation . Even at launch , Arc GPUs showed several issues with their number one wood . It seems the graphics variance has been heads - down work on on GPUs and equipment driver , as we’veseen monolithic improvementsin Arc operation since the release .

For airless to a year , RedGamingTech has claimed that the flagship Battlemage card will put up performance that could rival Nvidia’sRTX 4080 . That seems affirmative from what we ’ve image from first - gen Arc GPUs , but there ’s still plenty to get excited about in Intel ’s follow - up .

First is an AI - driven grain compression proficiency that Inteldetailed during the recent Siggraph 2023 . The paper Intel insert show both a condensation prick that keeps VRAM limitations low in complex scenes , as well as an efficientpath tracingalgorithm that aim to make the complex rendering technique possible on lower - end GPUs .

Intel introducedanother theme during Siggraph Asia2023 showing aDLSS 3rival that generates fresh frames during gameplay . Unlike similar frame - generation methods , Intel proposed frame extrapolation rather of flesh interpolation . This predicts future frame rather than generating a frame from retiring 1 , supposedlysolving the latency issuewe’ve see with DLSS 3 .

It should n’t be long before we find out about what Intel has in store for Battlemage . Intel may not shout about its artwork card from the rooftop , but every indication we ’ve seen so far suggests Intel has n’t given up on Arc yet .
