In an interview with PCWorld , Intel Arc engineering group representative Tom Peterson said that the company's next-generation GPU, called Arc Battlemage Xe2, is in development and Intel is also working on the next-generation GPU, called Calestial Xe3. Peterson added that users won't have to wait long to see the Arc Battlemage Xe2 on the market.
Intel continues to push to develop its own dedicated GPUs.
Peterson said the company has “good news” regarding Arc Battlemage Xe2. Specifically, the first chips are already in the testing lab, and while he can’t provide any more information at this point, a launch has been suggested before the end of the year, perhaps in the second half of this year.
Speaking of the Arc Celestial Xe3 line, Peterson said this generation will launch in 2025 as integrated graphics (iGPU) on Panther Lake processors before appearing as dedicated GPUs sold as retail products for desktops.
In addition to what has already been mentioned, Petersen also noted that the company is actively researching the NPU architecture for its next CPUs, known as "PC AI" which has been mentioned a lot recently. There are not many applications for PC AI yet, except for a few isolated examples like PCs with facial and voice recognition. It is likely that the new features will focus on improving gaming performance, where artificial intelligence (AI) can help create more realistic animations.
Wccftech says that looks like that will be Intel's primary approach to AI going forward, similar to what Nvidia is doing with ACE (Avatar Cloud Engine).
