The tail finish of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 are set to see a flurry of gaming GPU exercise, if all of the rumors are true, with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all reportedly gearing up for brand new graphics card launches. The most recent leak to trace at what to anticipate issues the Battlemage Intel GPU vary, with a brand new graphics card apparently proven as working at an enormous clock velocity of two,850MHz. That may make it the fastest-clocked GPU of any trendy card.
Nevertheless, the very best graphics playing cards donβt at all times must run on the quickest clock speeds to ship peak efficiency. Plus, we’re but to see what kind of clock velocity AMD and Nvidiaβs next-gen GPUs will boast, so itβs too early to but inform if this new Intel GPU will come to rule the roost.
This leak comes by way of that oh-so-regular supply of tech spec leaks, Geekbench (as noticed by Wccftech). As a result of the app collates benchmark outcomes from customers, new {hardware} that’s being examined frequently seems on the benchmarkβs web site. The brand new leak reveals a benchmark check having been run on a machine geared up with an MSI Z790A motherboard, an Intel Core i5 13600K, and a thriller Intel GPU.
The itemizing reveals the benchmark was run on September 25 and that the GPU makes use of βIntel Xe Graphics RIβ and homes 160 compute models. It additionally reveals the GPU is supplied with 11.6GB (successfully 12GB) of VRAM and runs at a speedy 2,850MHz. For comparability, the RTX 4090 has a lift clock velocity (so not its common clock velocity) of two,520MHz and even lower-tier playing cards (that usually have their clock velocity cranked up) canβt beat it, with the likes of the AMD RX 7600 boasting a 2,755MHz enhance clock.
With overclocking, these types of clock speeds have been surpassed earlier than, however for a inventory clock velocity (assuming thatβs what’s proven on this benchmark) this may make for a really quick GPU clock.
In the meantime, the 160 compute models tallied with earlier Intel Battlemage leaks, which confirmed there may very well be two variants of the brand new GPU structure, with one GPU housing 192 compute models and one housing 160. These compute models are known as Vector Engines in Intelβs Xe2 structure, with eight Vector Engines housed in every Xe2 core. As such, we will surmise that this thriller GPU has 20 Xe2 cores.
For comparability, the Intel Arc A770 has 32 Xe Cores with 512 Vector Engines, so these new GPUs arenβt wanting overly highly effective as but, even once we think about that the brand new Xe2 structure is probably extra environment friendly and highly effective per core.
The precise Geekbench rating tallies with this evaluation, as its OpenCL rating of 97,943 isnβt sooner than the present Intel Arc A770, which registers round 100,000 factors relying on the check run. If Intelβs intention is to launch this thriller new GPU at a discount worth, and with a power-sipping design, although, it might show an attention-grabbing finances choice.
For now, although, you could find our present high finances graphics card choice within the form of the AMD Radeon RX 7600. It comfortably undercuts the value of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 whereas outpacing it in non-ray-traced video games.
