Presumed Battlemage engineering sample suggests there's some hope for Intel's next-gen Arc GPUs in the mid-range

Talk might revolve around AMD Strix Point and Intel Lunar Lake chips of late, but there's plenty of hunger for discrete graphics cards, too. In fact, recent shipping data research points towards increasing interest in graphics cards compared to previously. In which case, Intel Battlemage could enter a very receptive market.

New Geekbench benchmark results (via Wccftech) show what is almost certainly a Battlemage engineering sample hitting performance levels somewhere between an RTX 3060 and RTX 4060.
