In the world of gaming GPUs, Intel's Arc Battlemage lineup has been a topic of much anticipation and speculation. However, a recent report from RedGamingTech (RGT) suggests that the flagship Arc Battlemage BMG G10 GPU may undergo some significant revisions before its potential release.

Previously, it was reported that the Arc Battlemage BMG G10 would feature 56 Xe cores, a 256-bit wide bus, 16 GB of 18-20 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM, 112/116 MB of L2 cache, and a clock speed of 3 GHz. But according to RGT's sources, the specifications have been altered. The revised version of the GPU is said to have a narrower bus width of 192-bit, 12 GB of 20 Gbps VRAM, 8 MB of L2 cache, and an increased clock frequency. This adaptation is particularly interesting because previous rumors had suggested a boost frequency of 2.8 GHz.

Additionally, RGT's report mentions the inclusion of 512 MB of Adamantine Cache in the flagship Arc Battlemage card. While Intel's Adamantine Cache technology has been acknowledged, its implementation has yet to be seen in a product. The upcoming Battlemage BMG G10 presents a potential opportunity to introduce this level 4 (L4) cache technology.

However, despite these updates, there is a possibility that the flagship Arc Battlemage GPU might not make it to the market. RGT suggests that due to unsatisfactory profit margins, there is a "very good chance" that the Battlemage BMG G10 could be canceled. Official confirmation from Intel will be required to verify the accuracy of this claim.

In addition to the flagship variant, RGT's report also reveals details of a lower-end SKU in the Arc Battlemage lineup. This variant is speculated to feature 40 Xe cores, a 192-bit wide bus, 18 MB of L2 cache (without Adamantine Cache), 12 GB of 20 Gbps VRAM, and PCIe Gen 5 x8. It is anticipated to have a smaller die size of 250 mm2 compared to the Arc A580 and the Arc A750.

Lastly, while the report provides insights into the revisions and potential cancellation of certain models, it also mentions that Intel had an 80 Xe Battlemage GPU in development at one point, but this particular product has now been canceled.

As enthusiasts eagerly await official word from Intel regarding the fate of these GPUs, it is important to approach RGT's report with caution, as it remains unconfirmed by the company. Nonetheless, these developments highlight the dynamic nature of the gaming GPU market and the intense competition among tech giants to capture the attention of gamers worldwide.
