Since the release of Intel's entry-level Arc Xe 2 “Battlemage” B580 and B570 graphics cards, enthusiasts have eagerly awaited news about higher-performance options. The relative silence surrounding these high-end variants has left many wondering what's going on behind the scenes, with the last significant information emerging in late January regarding …

Intel hasn't talked much about the Battlemage desktop GPU yet, but that might change soon. We'll reportedly learn more about Intel's next-gen GPUs in December.

Intel is gearing up to unveil its latest Core Ultra 200V “Lunar Lake” mobile CPU family, designed for lightweight laptops, mini-PCs, and gaming handhelds. The Lunar Lake CPUs will feature Xe2-based integrated graphics (Arc 130V and 140V), which we've only heard rumours about up until now. However, a recent report …

Recent Geekbench 6 graphics test results show very promising results for Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake integrated graphics. The results suggest that the iGPU can offer performance comparable to entry-level GPUs like Intel's Arc A380 and other iGPU solutions like the AMD Radeon 780M. The benchmark results shared by Benchleaks were …

Intel's next-generation Arc Xe2 discrete GPUs, featuring the "Battlemage" graphics architecture, are reportedly set to be manufactured using TSMC's 4nm EUV foundry node. This move represents a significant leap from Intel's previous Arc "Alchemist" series, which uses the TSMC 6nm DUV technology...

A new Intel Arc Battlemage GPU, codenamed G31, has been found on the company's website. Although we had already heard about a G31 GPU, we didn't know much about it besides the name. That has now changed, as we've learned what package it will use and how many Xe2-cores it …

Intel's open-source Linux graphics driver developers are making significant strides in preparing for the release of Xe2-based Battlemage discrete GPUs. Set to replace the DG2/Alchemist architecture, the enabling work is underway for the upcoming Linux 6.11 kernel, with the latest drm-intel-next patches for Linux 6.11 revealing the addition of Battlemage …

We couldn't let Computex go by without catching up with Steve of Gamers Nexus. Leo and Steve met up in the event halls to go over all of Intel's major announcements this week, including the unveiling of Lunar Lake. 

After first including the Xe2 architecture reference in Intel GPU drivers, Intel developers have now begun work on Mesa support. The Xe2 architecture, also known as Battlemage, is the architecture that will be used in the next generation of Intel desktop and mobile GPUs and supposedly on the iGPU of the future Lunar Lake client CPUs.
