Ngakhale zidayamba mwala, ma Intel’s Arc GPU tsopano ndi ena mwamakhadi abwino kwambiri omwe mungagule. Poyang’ana osewera a PC a bajeti, Intel yadzikhazikitsa ngati wosewera wamkulu pamakhadi azithunzi zamasewera, ndipo maso onse ali pa Team Blue ndi m’badwo wake wotsatira wa ma GPU, omwe amatchedwa Battlemage.
Tikudziwa kuti ma GPU a Battlemage akubwera, ndipo Intel yakhala ikugwetsa pang’onopang’ono za makadi ojambula chaka chatha. Ngakhale tikudikirira tsiku lomasulidwa, zofotokozera, komanso mitengo yamitengo ya Battlemage GPU, pali zambiri zomwe titha kuziphatikiza kale.
Intel Battlemage: zambiri
Intel sanatsimikizirebe zonena zake za Battlemage GPUs pano, koma mphekesera za mphekesera sizinakhale chete za hardware zomwe ma GPU anganyamule. Poyambirira, otulutsa ngati RedGamingTech adanenanso kuti khadi yodziwika bwino ibwera ndi ma 64 Xe cores – kuwirikiza kawiri zomwe zikupezeka pa A770 yomwe tili nayo pano, komanso ndi zomangamanga zatsopano. Kumayambiriro kwa chaka, RedGamingTech idakonzanso mphekesera zawo, ponena kuti flagship GPU ibwera ndi 56 Xe cores. Kumeneku kukadali kugunda kwakukulu pa A770. Malingaliro aposachedwa ndi osiyana pang’ono, komabe.
Pezani kuwonongeka kwanu kwaukadaulo kwa sabata iliyonse kumbuyo kwamasewera a PC
Wotulutsa pafupipafupi pa Twitter Harukaze5719 adapeza zowonetsa zotumizira zomwe zidatithandiza kuzindikira za mphekesera za Intel Battlemage. Malinga ndi ziwonetserozi, Battlemage ibwera mumitundu iwiri: X2 ndi X3. Khadi la X2 limanenedwa kuti ndilomwe limayang’anira, ndipo zolemba zake zadulidwa kwambiri poyerekeza ndi zomwe RedGamingTech inanena koyambirira kwa chaka chino.

Khadi la X2 akuti likubwera ndi ma 32 Xe2 cores, omwe amatanthawuza (akuganiziridwa) 4,096 stream processors (SPs) ndi 512 execution units (EUs). Ndizofanana ndendende ndi Intel Arc A770, koma zomangamanga za Battlemage zimanenedwanso kuti zikupereka kusintha kwina posatengera kuchuluka kwa ma EU. Khadi yachiwiri idzakhala ndi masewera 28 Xe2 cores (3,584 SPs ndi 448 EUs).
Malinga ndi malingaliro, otchedwa Battlemage GPU okhala ndi 56 Xe2 cores adathetsedwa. Intel ikuwoneka kuti ikugwiritsa ntchito njira yofananira ndi AMD’s RDNA 4 m’badwo uno pomamatira ku gawo la msika. Komabe, miyezi ingapo yapitayo, mphekeserazo zinali zosiyana kwambiri. Kupatula pa khadi lodziwika bwino lomwe lili ndi zofananira zabwinoko, RedGamingTech inkakonda kunena kuti khadiyo imatha kufika pa liwiro la wotchi mpaka 3GHz ndipo ibwera ndi cache yayikulu ya 112MB ya L2.
Chomwe chimadziwika kwambiri pakutayikirako ndi cache ya Adamantine, komabe. Ichi ndi mawonekedwe a cache kuti Intel yapanga ma CPUndipo sizosiyana ndi AMD’s 3D V-Cache – kwenikweni, mumasunga mulu wowonjezera pakufa. Ndizomwe mungatchule “Level 4” cache. Imachedwa ndi ma cache, koma RedGamingTech ikuti Intel ikukonzekera kunyamula 512MB yayikulu ya cache ya Adamantine pa chip chip. Komabe, ngati Intel isankha kumamatira ku khadi lolowera kuti likhale lodziwika bwino, mwayi ndi wakuti cache ya Adamantine sikhala kanthu m’badwo uno, mwina. Dziwani, izi ndi zongopeka.
Kuphatikiza pa mtundu wokhala ndi 56 Xe Cores, otulutsawo ankanena kuti chitsanzo chokhala ndi ma 40 Xe cores chinali m’ntchito. Izi zikuwoneka ngati zokhazikika kwenikweni, kunyamula ma cores omwe tawatchulawa, basi ya 192-bit memory, ndipo palibe cache ya Adamantine. RedGamingTech ikuganiza kuti kamangidwe kameneka kakhoza kutengera malo apamwamba, kutchula malire omwe angabwere kuchokera ku 56 Xe core model.
Momwe zinthu zilili pano, tili ndi maakaunti osiyanasiyana ochokera kumadera osiyanasiyana. Pomwe ena otulutsa amati Intel angapereke chiwongola dzanja chachikulu ku Battlemage, mphekeserazo zidakhala chete. Ndi GPU iti yomwe ili yeniyeni: yomwe ili ndi 56 Xe2 cores kapena yomwe ili ndi 32 Xe2 cores? N’zosatheka kunena pakali pano.
Intel Battlemage: mitengo ndi tsiku lomasulidwa
Tinkayembekezera makhadi a Battlemage kuwonekera mu theka lachiwiri la 2024, koma nthawi ikukula mosatsimikizika chifukwa Intel sanalengeze chilichonse.
Kumayambiriro kwa chaka, a Tom Petersen wa Intel adati mainjiniya omwe ali mgulu lojambula zithunzi akugwira ntchito pa mapulogalamu amtundu wotsatira wa GPUs ndikuti mainjiniya a hardware apita kale ku “chinthu chotsatira.” Battlemage, kutsogolo kwa hardware osachepera, ndi wokonzeka kupita. Izi zatsimikiziridwa posachedwa ndi Zithunzi za DigiTimesyomwe idanenedwa (monga idagawidwa ndi Masewera a Nexus) kupanga Battlemage kudayamba mu theka loyamba la 2024.
Kuonjezera umboni wochulukirapo pa izi ndikuwonetsa kwaposachedwa komwe kukuwonetsa ma GPU awiri a Battlemage. Manifesiti akuwonetsa kuti makhadi awa ndi “zantchito za R&D zokha,” koma kutumiza zida zozungulira kukuwonetsa kuti Intel ikulowa magawo omaliza otsimikizira. Kuphatikiza apo, Intel mwiniyo adagawana slide ndi malo ogulitsira aku Japan akuwonetsa kukhazikitsidwa kwa GPU yatsopano mu 2024.
Otsatsa samagwirizana ndi nthawiyi, komabe. Lamulo la Leaker Moore ndi Dead limatchula magwero a Intel akuti Battlemage ikuyang’ana kutulutsidwa kwa 2024 mochedwa kwambiri kapena koyambirira kwa 2025. Zili choncho ngakhale mapu amsewu oyambilira omwe adagawidwa chaka chatha omwe adawonetsa ma GPU akukhazikitsidwa pakati pa Epulo ndi Juni wa 2024.
Kutulutsa kwaposachedwa kumagwirizana ndi nthawi ino. ComputerBase inanena kuti Intel idzayambitsa ma GPUs pamaso pa Black Friday kukonzekera nyengo ya tchuthi.
Pakadali pano, tikuyembekezera Intel kuti agawane zambiri. Intel anakhala chete pa nkhani ya Battlemage pa Computex 2024, kotero tsopano ife tiri mu limbo. Intel salinso yekha podumpha chaka chino ndikutulutsa kwatsopano kwa GPU – AMD ndi Nvidia tsopano akuti akudikirira koyambirira kwa 2025 kuti akhazikitse makadi awo atsopano ojambula.
Sitidziwa chilichonse chokhudza mitengo mpaka Intel atakhala ndi zambiri zoti agawane. Komabe, pali mwayi wabwino kuti Intel idzayang’ana pa makadi a bajeti ndi midrange m’malo mwa zikwangwani zamtengo wapatali monga RTX 4090. Ndizo zomwe tinaziwona ndi Arc A770 ndi A750 m’badwo wakale. Malingaliro a Intel ndi Arc kuyambira pomwe adakhazikitsidwa akhala ofunika, ndipo sindikukayikira kuti asiya lingalirolo ndi Battlemage.
Poganizira zomwe tikudziwa, ndikukayikira kuti khadi lachiwonetsero lidzafika pafupifupi $ 500 – koma izi zimagwira ntchito ngati Intel apita patsogolo ndi 56 Xe2-core model. Ndi zongopeka pakali pano, kotero musachite mosiyana. Kutengera zomwe zafotokozedwera, zikuwoneka kuti Intel ikupanga chiwonetsero champhamvu kwambiri chokhala ndi Battlemage chomwe chikhoza kuyitanitsa mtengo wokwera, ndipo tawona ndi ma GPU ngati RX 7900 GRE kuchokera ku AMD ndi RTX 4070 yochokera ku Nvidia momwe bulaketi yamtengowu ilili kofunika. .
Intel Battlemage: zomangamanga
Intel imayitana zomanga kuseri kwa Battlemage Xe2, kutsatira zomanga za Xe zomwe tidawona ndi makadi ojambula a Alchemist. Leakers agawana zambiri za momwe kamangidwe ka m’badwo wotsatira udzakhudzire, koma tikudziwa zambiri.
Pongoyambira, pali mwayi wabwino kuti Intel angatsatire wopanga semiconductor TSMC ya Battlemage. Sitikudziwa kuti Intel adzagwiritsa ntchito chiyani, koma mphekesera zimati Battlemage idzagwiritsa ntchito node ya N4. Pali mitundu ingapo ya node iyi, ena omwe akugwiritsidwa ntchito mu ma GPU amtundu wotsatira wa Nvidia wotchedwa Blackwell, kotero sizikudziwika ngati Intel angatsatire ndi mtundu wa vanila kapena ayi. Lipoti laposachedwa la DigiTimes linanena kuti Intel idzagwiritsa ntchito node ya TSMC 4nm.
Kwa Battlemage, Intel akuti ikufewetsa mzere wake. Ndi mapangidwe oyambirira a Xe, Intel adamanga kuti achoke pamalaputopu amphamvu kwambiri mpaka ku data center GPUs. Tom Petersen wa Intel akuti kuti Xe2 idzakhala ndi mzere wowongolera. Mupeza Xe2-LPG yamagetsi otsika, ndi Xe2-HPG yama GPU apamwamba kwambiri.
Malinga ndi chithunzi chotsikitsitsa chamkati, adagawana ndi RedGamingTechXe2-HPG idzakhala ndi “chotsatira cha gen-gen memory subsystem ndi compression,” komanso kuwongolera bwino kwa ma ray ndi kukonza kamangidwe kakang’ono. Cholemba choyamba chimenecho ndi chodziwika bwino. Chaka chatha, Intel idasindikiza pepala lofufuzira lomwe limafotokoza za kukakamiza koyendetsedwa ndi AI kuti azitha kuzungulira nkhani za VRAM m’masewera amakono. Titha kuwona kuti ukadaulo ukukula ngati gawo la zomangamanga za Battlemage.
Intel Battlemage: magwiridwe antchito
Sitikudziwa za momwe Battlemage amagwirira ntchito, ndipo zotulutsa zochepa zomwe zatuluka sizipereka malingaliro. Intel yatsimikizira kuti ikugwira ntchito pa mapulogalamu a Battlemage tsopano, ndipo tawona kufunika kwake m’badwo wakale. Sitipeza chithunzi cholondola cha magwiridwe antchito mpaka makhadi atafika.
Kutengera zomwe zafotokozedwera, pali mwayi wabwino kuti Intel ikulondolera RTX 4070 ndi flagship Battlemage GPU. Ndiko kuyimbanso kwabwino, nanenso. Pali ma GPU theka la khumi ndi awiri mu bulaketi yamtengo pakati pa $400 ndi $600, ndikupangitsa kukhala gawo lopikisana kwambiri pamsika wamakadi ojambula pakali pano. Komabe, ngati Intel ingotulutsa GPU yokhala ndi 32 Xe2 cores, RTX 4070 ikhoza kupitilira mbiri yake. Ndizosatheka kudziwa pakali pano.
Poyambirira, mphekesera zimati Intel ingayang’ane pa RTX 4080 pa khadi lake lodziwika bwino, koma zikuwoneka kuti sizingatheke. Mphekesera imeneyi mwina inafalikira chifukwa cha kukula kwa GPU yeniyeni mkati mwa khadi loyang’anira, zomwe zimamveka kuti zimakhala zofanana ndi RTX 4080. Izi zikhoza kukhala zoona, koma sizikutanthauza kuti khadilo lidzatha kufika ku RTX 4080. milingo ya RTX 4080. Intel ikhoza kunyamula zida zambiri m’makhadi kuposa momwe zimafunikira, zofanana ndi Alchemist GPUs.
Tsitsani okwana, ndizovuta kunena. Zomwe tili nazo pano ndi chizindikiro chotsikitsitsa cha SiSoftware chowonetsa Battlemage mu Intel’s Lunar Lake laputopu CPU. Mosasamala kanthu, Intel mwina sangapikisane ndi m’badwo wotsatira wa ma GPU ochokera ku AMD ndi Nvidia. Kutengera ndi nthawi yomwe tili nayo pano, zikuwoneka kuti Intel ikuyesera kupeza miyezi ingapo pamsika AMD ndi Nvidia asanatulutse makadi awo amtundu wotsatira – koma ngakhale izi zikuwoneka zosatsimikizika.
Cholinga chachikulu cha Intel pakadali pano ndikuti Battlemage imapereka kusintha kwa 50% poyerekeza ndi zomangamanga zam’mbuyomu. Ndiwo mkati mwa tchipisi ta Lunar Lake, kotero zikuwonekerabe ngati Intel atha kubweretsanso kusintha komweku ndi makhadi ake ojambula pakompyuta.
Momwe zinthu zilili pano, mphekesera zimati ma discrete a Battlemage GPU sangapange ma laputopu, kotero Lunar Lake Battlemage ndizomwe ogwiritsa ntchito laputopu angawone. Komabe, mpaka Intel mwiniyo atanena zambiri pankhaniyi, zonse zomwe zili pamwambazi sizikudziwika.
