Intel’s Battlemage graphics cards are still in development, with a recent tweet from Andreas Schilling confirming the existence of the BMG G10 Battlemage GPU. This development suggests that Intel is actively working on its second-generation Arc graphics cards, dispelling previous rumors of potential cancelation.
BMG G10 is described as an “enthusiast” chip, indicating that it’s a high-end GPU, possibly intended to compete with top offerings from Nvidia and AMD. The existence of this more powerful Battlemage GPU raises expectations for Intel’s second-generation Arc graphics card lineup.
I’ve seen wafers with Emerald Rapids XCC on them, that were being cut. Not a surprise at all, but still …
Also MTL682_C0, so Meteor Lake with 6 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores and GT2 Graphic Tile tested in a C0 stepping and finally the Failure Lab already saw BMG G10 – Battlemage is real. https://t.co/rKr7au95JZ

It’s worth noting that Intel’s second-gen Arc graphics cards were originally expected to debut earlier, but potential delays could push the release into the second half of 2024.
Intel’s commitment to producing a full range of Battlemage GPUs, from enthusiast to budget models, is a positive sign for consumers and the overall graphics card market. However, it’s essential to wait for official announcements and further developments to see how Intel’s next-gen GPUs perform and compete in the market.
