Battlemage: Intel confirms new G31 GPU

There is no doubt that Intel is working on a new generation of desktop graphics cards codenamed Battlemage. However, the specific models and their underlying data are still unclear. It would be possible, for example, to use larger GPUs to be able to attack the mid- and high-end segments. Intel’s current flagship, the Arc A770, which has 32 Xe cores, is hardly on par with AMD’s Radeon RX 7600 and Nvidia’s Geforce RTX 4060.

Intel Leaks Battlemage GPU

This performance area will likely be covered again. Because as Tom's Hardware reports, Intel accidentally revealed details about the new Battlemage GPU on its website. Below Design Tools So a Battlemage chip called G31 was included. Location though Now or directly It's still over Archive.org web archive is availableBut Tom's Hardware took a screenshot just in time.

Intel also offered more technical details, but they require a login and are therefore unknown. If the company stays true to its previous naming system, where higher numbers indicate slower GPUs, the G31 will likely be an entry-level model. In line with this, your Battlemage chip should be high @Bionic_Squash It has 32 Xe2 cores. However, there is no source for this. Therefore the information is highly speculative. But if the Intel G31 processor is in fact the slowest GPU – and at the same time has as many compute units as the previous top model – then an attack on the higher performance bands will likely be imminent.

However, the contacts under the GPU contradict this: according to @Bionic_Squash , the G31 chip’s 3,283 contacts outperform the G10 GPU’s 2,727 and the G31 GPU’s 2,362 contacts. If that’s true, the G31 is likely the faster model. If the Xe2 cores don’t significantly exceed expectations, the entire Battlemage generation will likely be limited to the entry-level chip once again. Of course, all of this is still speculation at the moment. With more leaks and early tests of the Xe2 GPUs in Intel Lunar Lake processors, the picture should become clearer.
