Intel is on track to launch its next-generation Arc desktop GPUs codenamed "Battlemage" next month, per Golden Pig Upgrade Pack - a hardware sleuth and a reliable leaker. Battlemage will utilize Intel's Xe2-HPG architecture - a spinoff of Xe2-LPG seen on Intel's latest Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) CPUs.
The leaker doesn't go in-depth regarding the details and says they're looking forward to Battlemage on "desktop" next month. These GPUs are said to offer brilliant performance, but we don't expect them to topple Nvidia's RTX 4090 and the like. Again, if this leak is accurate, Intel has done a brilliant job in preventing leaks, as the lack of information about Arc has led many to believe that Battlemage's desktop variant was effectively axed.
