Intel, a big company that makes CPUs and GPUs, is said to be planning to release its next-generation Arc Battlemage GPU architecture before Black Friday.

The GPUs for Battle Mage

Intel’s second generation of discrete Arc graphics architecture is the Battle Mage GPUs, which have the code name Xe2-HPG. The Xe-HPG GPU from Intel, codenamed Alchemist, was the first discrete GPU. It came out around this time two years ago².

The Date of Launch

Sources in the business world say that Intel wants to release the product before Black Friday so that it can take advantage of the holiday shopping season. Battlemage is supposed to come out “before Black Friday,” which is November 29, 2024, this year.

The Other People

The GeForce RTX 50 series from NVIDIA is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of this year, starting with the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080². This is interesting to note. What AMD has planned for the rest of the year could make 2024 end with a bang as we move into 2025².

The Last Word

Putting out Intel’s Battle Mage GPUs before Black Friday might have been a smart move to take advantage of the big shopping day at the end of the year. But these details should be taken with a grain of salt until Intel makes the official launch date public.
