The launch of the Intel Arc Alchemist has finally become a reality, and the first performance tests show data that, in general terms, meet the expectations that had been generated, since in general the Arc A750 and Arc 770 position more or less at the level of the GeForce RTX 3060-3060 Ti. Good results, but the chip giant is already thinking about the future, and this one goes through the Intel Arc Battlemage.

As many of our readers will know, Intel Arc Battlemage is the name by which the next generation of graphics cards from the firm from Santa Clara is known, and it will be the successor to the current Arc Alchemist. The details we have about it are still scarce, but we know that it is an evolution that starts, in terms of architecture, from the same basis that we have seen in the current generation, which means that we will not see drastic changes. This is something completely normal and common in the graphics sector, where major changes at the architecture level usually occur every several years, and not from one generation to another.

According to Raja Koduri, the head of Intel’s graphics division, they are already working on Intel Arc Battlemage, and this new generation of graphics cards is “much better” than the current one, always starting from a comparison equivalent to the phase in which those they find each other. This means that the development of Intel Arc Battlemage is being better than Intel Arc Alchemistand implies that in general terms this new generation of graphics cards should arrive in a much more polished and mature state.

The Intel executive has also commented that they are putting pay special attention to drivers and softwarebecause in the end both are key in order to get the most out of the hardware. You already know what I have always been telling you, a good chip is useless without software and drivers that allow it to develop its full potential.

Koduri has also highlighted that the graphics sector is very important for Intel, and for all the implications it has both in the general consumer market and in the professional sector. Those rumors that assumed that Intel was going to cancel its adventure in this market and that it was going to throw away the huge investment it had made were completely false, there is no doubt about that.

In the end, it didn’t make any sense. The performance tests that we had been seeing confirmed that the first generation of Intel graphics had room for improvement, but we also did not see anything that was serious enough How to talk about a cancellation. I think that, in the end, a snowball effect was generated from hype and nonsensical comments that led to a prediction that fell under its own weight.

Intel has entered the graphics sector in a pretty dignified wayespecially considering how complicated this sector is, and we can be clear that it comes with the intention to stay and to compete with AMD and NVIDIA for the leadership of this market.
