The Intel Arc A770 LE, or “Limited Edition,” isn’t really supposed to be limited-it’s just a brand name, like Nvidia’s rival “Founders Edition” GPUs-but it seems like it. The RTX 3060 can be found easily from many retailers in stock, but you’ll still be likely paying slightly more than the $329 MSRP retail. Given how painful GPU prices remain, it would be awfully nice if Intel to add a third vector of competition into the market, that's for sure.Can you really find these GPUs at these prices? Not really, not even with the current soft market for graphics cards. Those graphics chipsets will make for even tougher competition whereas a launch earlier in 2024 would give Battlemage a chance to have an impact on the mid-range to upper mid-range GPU market. ![]() A launch late in 2024 would align it with the Nvidia RTX 50-series and AMD's next-gen GPUs, likely to be branded Radeon RX 8000-series. We'd still rather see Battlemage arrive sooner rather than later. ![]() So priced right, it could be pretty compelling. On the other hand, a chip with RTX 4070 Ti or 4080 performance will still be a pretty quick GPU, even late next year. So that RTX 4070 Ti performance target will suddenly turn into RTX 5070 Ti and suddenly Intel could find itself miles off the pace.Īfter all, Nvidia's next-gen RTX 50-series (supposedly called Blackwell but it's very early days) is expected to be built on TSMC 3nm technology and will presumably offer at least some performance uplift over the existing RTX 40-series. (Image credit: Intel)Īlmost certainly, Nvidia and AMD will be rolling out yet another new generation GPUs themselves in late 2024. ![]() Battlemage is real enough and has appeared on Intel's official roadmaps for several years.
