M uch as I might instinctually recoil at the suggestion, the server rather than the desktop market is the big growth area right now. I'm told that this is thanks to a newfangled t

A new leak implies that Intel Arc Battlemage might arrive soon, and that could give Intel an unexpected edge over AMD and Nvidia.

Intel has been in a bit of a dubious position for some time. With instabilities in its 13th and 14th-generation chips and its latest chips, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K and Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, underperforming in games, Intel needs a bit of a win. It could just get that win next month if its new set of Battlemage GPUs is up to the task.

The gaming GPU maker reportedly has a new consumer PC Arm CPU in the works, set to challenge the AMD Ryzen and Intel Core duopoly.

We will not achieve our target of $500 million in revenue for Gaudi in 2024,” CEO Pat Gelsinger just said on the company’s Q3 2024 earnings call today. Though Intel just launched its recent Gaudi 3 accelerator this past quarter,

While Intel said it will miss its modest 2024 revenue goal for Gaudi processors, rival AMD upgraded its full-year sales forecast for Instinct GPUs to a much higher number in the Nvidia-dominated data center AI chip market.

Could Intel be looking to beat the new AMD Radeon and Nvidia GeForce chips to the punch when it comes to next-gen gaming GPU announcements?

In the GPU market, Nvidia's main strategy has been to sell pricier but more power-efficient chips than AMD. AMD usually sells cheaper but less power-efficient chips that can offer comparable performance to Nvidia's chips. That's why Nvidia's H100 GPUs currently cost roughly four times more than AMD's comparable MI300X Instinct GPUs.

Renowned leaker Golden Pig Upgrade Pack alleges that Intel will launch its next-gen Battlemage desktop GPUs next month.
