The roadmap, released by YouTube channel RedGamingTech, is exclusive to desktop graphics adapters, which for many is the most interesting part of Intel’s graphics card plans. According to a leaked slide, Intel won’t update its lineup of discrete graphics cards for PCs until at least the end of the first quarter of 2023. Based on last year’s data on the slide, we can say that the road map is not the latest, and the release dates of future products may shift over time.
At the end of the first quarter of 2023, Intel plans to introduce two 150-watt GPUs: SKU3 (D23-P5) and SKU5 (D23-M3), both with 6 GB of 16 Gbps memory – they will be aimed at the upper end of the market. Intel will add another Arc Alchemist GPU codenamed Alchemist+ (ACM+) in Q3-Q4, along with a 175-225W TDP model and a new 75-100W SKU.
The roadmap confirms Intel’s plans for Battlemage in the first quarter of 2024. That’s when the pre-launch should start – perhaps to select partners. The actual launch of the BMG G10 model with a TDP below 225 W will take place in the second quarter of 2024. In the same quarter, the series will also receive a second chip with a TDP of ~150W (BMG G21).

RedGamingTech also revealed key details about Battlemage’s architecture. The series should include improved ray tracing acceleration, microarchitecture improvements, and next-generation machine learning-based rendering technology. The slide confirms that the Xe2-HPG will target the high performance and gaming enthusiast segment.
How much power should video cards consume? Intel’s top manager Raja Koduri considers 200-225 W to be the “golden mean”.
