Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76184, member: 636"] Intel sneakily dropped support for its Arc Battlemage BMG-G31 GPU inside the latest VTune Profiler update, which has people wondering if the big card is actually gonna show up at CES after getting ghosted all year. The changelog mentions Panther Lake CPUs and the BMG-G31 together, and since Panther Lake is confirmed for the event, this could mean the beefier graphics card finally gets its reveal. The bigger Battlemage variant is rumored to pack 32 Xe2 cores with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, landing somewhere between $300 and $400 to compete with midrange stuff from Nvidia and AMD. Intel already moved its integrated graphics to Xe3 architecture, but the standalone card still uses the older Xe2 design. Some rumors suggest four different models are in the works based on device ID leaks, though the company had way more ambitious plans before scaling things back. [/QUOTE]
