Intel Arc Battlemage specifications leak suggesting a massive increase in Xe core count, L2 cache, and clock speeds vs Arc A770

Paul from RedGamingTech alleged in January that Intel’s next-gen Arc Battlemage GPUs could see a limited launch in Q1 2024 with significant volume appearing in Q2. However, recent rumors from Moore’s Law Is Dead have claimed that Intel Arc Battlemage is an H2 2024 product. Now, in addition to reaffirming his previous release time frame leak, Paul has divulged some new information regarding Intel’s 2024 Arc boards.

For starters, Paul reports that the Arc Battlemage will use a monolithic die that is comparable in size to the AD103 GPU featured in the RTX 4080. For reference, the AD103 GPU has a die size of 379 mm². The Arc Battlemage could also feature 64 Xe cores, a 256-bit wide bus, 48 MB of L2 cache, and clock speeds north of 3 GHz. Surprisingly, these specifications are better than the ones recently shared by MLID.

Additionally, Paul claims that the data center Arc Battlemage GPUs termed “Melville Sound” will release in H2 2024.

To put these purported Battlemage specifications into perspective, Intel’s most powerful current-gen card, the Arc A770, boasts a die size of 406 mm², 32 Xe cores, a 256-bit wide memory bus, 16 MB of L2 cache, and a boost frequency of 2400 Mhz. So, the Arc Battlemage could be a big step forward in almost all areas vs the Arc A770 if Paul’s information is accurate.

Finally, Team Blue’s next-gen GPUs could bring a phenomenal performance bump over the current crop of Arc Alchemist boards. Paul suggests the Xe 2-touting Battlemage could bring RTX 4070 Ti levels of performance at the minimum with the potential of rivaling the RTX 4080 in the best case.

Since there are conflicting reports regarding the specifications of the Arc Battlemage, take RedGamingTech's information with caution.
