Intel hasn't said the last word yet with Arc graphics cards

In the field of discrete graphics cards, we currently find only two companies, namely Nvidia and AMD, although the share of the latter is not very high. Intel has also entered the market, but at least for now it is struggling with many hardware and software errors on their graphics cards. A recent survey by Jon Peddie Research showed that Nvidia currently controls as much as 80 percent of the graphics card market. The remaining 19% percent belongs to AMD, which is gaining market share year after year. In third place with one percent, we find Arc graphics cards from Intel.

Although the demand for Intel graphics cards is not the best, the computer giant is preparing a new generation of graphics cards from the Arc family. New graphics cards are produced under the Battlemage development label. Intel is said to offer for sale as many as three versions of the novelty, with the sales designations BMG-G31, BMG-G21 and BMG-G10, with the latter being the most powerful. This will have 56 Xe2 graphics cores in connection with 16 gigabytes of GDDR6 graphics memory available for calculating graphic content. This should be enough to run even the most graphically demanding computer games.

The new generation of Intel graphics cards is said to be about 1.5 times more powerful compared to the current generation. In addition, they should be able to reach a power of 67 teraflops at full load. The new Intel Xe2 graphics cores will initially be found in conjunction with Intel Lunar Lake processors. Immediately after that, they should also be available for purchase as independent graphic solutions.
