Sources within the industry have indicated that Intel plans to release its Battlemage series of graphics cards prior to the Black Friday shopping event, scheduled for November 29, 2024. This strategic timing could play a crucial role for Intel, aligning with the significant consumer interest generated during this period. Intel's inaugural Arc series graphics card was launched in early October 2022, suggesting a pattern where a November release could capitalize on the year-end shopping surge. However, Intel has maintained discretion regarding the specifics of the Battlemage series, with official statements focusing on the ongoing development and a pronounced emphasis on software enhancements.

Intel's academician, Tom Petersen, has also alluded to efforts directed towards developing architectures beyond Battlemage, specifically the Celestial series. This points towards Intel's forward-looking approach in its graphics card technology roadmap. The company's strategy for the Arc graphics card series appears to diverge from previous marketing practices, with limited information being disseminated internally, aiming to create anticipation and surprise within the gaming community.

Seems like this years Q4 is going to be a hot time for GPUs.

It already is.

I'd like to see Intel become a strong viable third player in GPUs. The duopoly is not serving us well enough without skyrocketing costs and skimping on VRAM.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Hey, look here China, you can take these Intel gpu's apart for your non gaming computing needs. Leave at least one nvidia 5090 for me.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I wonder if intel can make it to 1 percent market share. I'm rooting for them!

 

[RagnarokIV]

Their ray tracing is already ahead of AMD.
All I want is classic 70 class price/performance then I will change to them no problems once my 4070 is stale.

 

[Black_Stride]

If they can match the 4070 and 4070Ti with their range toppers while undercutting the price.
They are golden.

Whether people are actually gonna buy the cards is a totally different issue, but hopefully.
The xx70 class needs to be properly affordable again.

I was in the xx70 crew since the GTX 260c216 till the 3070.
Got a 3080 now and contemplating sticking with the xx80 class cards going forward.

 

[Gaiff]

Yeah, so safe to say that the 2025 rumors were true. This isn't coming before Black Friday.

To scalpers for sure. The 40XX series stumbled out of the gate and I expect even worse if the 50XX series is carrying stupid price tags.

Fellas cannot wait for it to be competitive, in order to make Nvidia lower their prices.
