Intel Arc Graphics Cards Based on Battlemage Tech Spotted in Linux Patch
Intel has revealed three potential new Intel Arc graphics cards based on the upcoming Battlemage architecture in its latest official Linux patch.
Possible Specifications:
* Based on a different GPU die, potentially the rumored G31 Battlemage
* G31 chip with 32 execution units (EUs), a 50% increase over the Arc B580
* Could compete with the RTX 4070 or even RTX 5070 (based on rumored NVIDIA specifications)
Uncertainties:
* Confirmation of the G31 GPU's existence
* Optimization of Intel's drivers
* Competitive pricing
Other Possibilities:
* Also spotted were unlaunched Arc cards based on the existing G21 chip with 24GB of memory
* These Linux device IDs could refer to new G21-based Arc Pro cards or a low-end B380 board
Conclusion:
The potential for G31-based Arc cards to rival the RTX 4070 or 5070 is exciting, but it remains speculation at this stage. More information is needed to confirm the specifications, performance, and availability of these graphics cards.
