Leaks for the Battlemage indicate the higher-end GPU will be Intels hardest-hitting graphics processor to date.
It certainly wont be as power-hungry as the most high-end GPUs from Nvidia or AMD.
The lower-end card could also have 10 GB of GDDR6 RAM.
More affordable graphics processors need to be on the market.
Intels latest Arrow Lake desktop processors also promise good gaming performance without needing a discrete GPU.
Of course, an APU will never beat the strength of a full card.
Wed be curious to see Intel design a version of Battlemage for laptops and desktops.
Perhaps we could finally have an all-Intel gaming laptop, as weird as that sounds.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
The Framework 13 now feels like a laptop that’s more than a modular, repairable novelty.
It’s now a gear that’s a joy to both build and use.
