Talk might revolve around AMD Strix Point and Intel Lunar Lake chips of late, but there's plenty of hunger for discrete graphics cards, too.
In fact, recent shipping data research points towards increasing interest in graphics cards compared to previously. In which case, Intel Battlemage could enter a very receptive market.
New Geekbench benchmark results (via Wccftech) show what is almost certainly a Battlemage engineering sample hitting performance levels somewhere between an RTX 3060 and RTX 4060.
This sample, it seems, has 11.6 GB VRAM, an extraordinary 2,850 MHz clock speed, 160 Xe Vector Engines (XVEs), and presumably 20 Xe-cores, given that Xe 2 GPUs have 8 Vector Engines per Xe-core.
The benchmark lists the GPU as «8086:E20B» and Wccftech notes that this device ID has previously cropped up in Linux drivers as a «G21» codenamed GPU.
