Let's start with a fact. Intel's next-gen graphics architecture is codenamed Battlemage. Beyond that it's all speculation, but the latest fuel on the bonfire of rumours suggests that Intel is scaling back its ambitions with Battlemage. If the latest scuttlebutt is to be believed, Battlemage will actually have fewer execution units than Intel existing top graphics card, the Intel Arc A770.
The new info comes from YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead, which has a hit-and-miss record when it comes to rumours and previously claimed that the entire Intel Arc graphics project had been cancelled. MLID has revised that prediction and now claims Arc is "effectively cancelled" but that at least one Battlemage GPU will be released.
