Intel's software just added support again for a bigger Battlemage GPU called the BMG G31, hinting it might actually release. This discrete card, using the Xe2 architecture, could have up to thirty two cores and sixteen gigs of memory. It would be a successor to the Arc A770, possibly competing with mid-range cards from Nvidia and AMD if priced around three or four hundred dollars.
Beyond gaming chips, a future data center GPU based on a newer Xe4 architecture was also spotted in an old shipping log. Intel's roadmap is messy, with the Xe3 architecture set for integrated graphics in upcoming Panther Lake processors. A more powerful variant called Xe3P is planned for later Nova Lake chips and future discrete Arc cards. This suggests Intel still plans for dedicated graphics, despite rumors that they were giving up on the high-end market.
