It appears that Intel is readying to further up VRAM capacities this generation, as Quantum Bits (via Harukaze) alleges that Intel plans to launch a 24GB Battlemage GPU next year. This report is further backed by a few shipping manifests thanks to Tomasz Gawroński at X, suggesting the use of a clamshell design on the BMG-G21 die to accommodate, mathematically, twelve 16Gb GDDR6 modules. Since the report claims this GPU is targeted at professionals, it is likely designated for Intel's Pro series or the Flex series. Take this leak with a grain of salt as it's not uncommon for GPU makers to ship several cards for testing, many of which never see the light of day.
Intel formally unveiled Battlemage for the mainstream segment this month with the Arc B580 and soon-to-launch Arc B570. Of these GPUs, the B580 has seen a great reception; so much so that demand is consistently outpacing supply with Intel now promising weekly restocks to keep up the inventory. Rumors suggest that Intel has prepared at least three Battlemage dies; BMG-G31, BMG-G21, and BMG-G10. BMG-G21 powers the Arc B580 and offers a 192-bit interface alongside 20 Xe2 cores.
