Additionally, it is expected that Intel will implement HDMI 2.1 support in its upcoming discrete GPUs under the Battlemage architecture. This move follows the previous generation's Alchemist architecture, which only supported HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, lacking support for 10-bit color depth. While AMD's Radeon RX 7000 series, part of the Navi 30 line, already supports DisplayPort 2.1 under the same UHBR 13.5 specification, there has been some confusion about the actual capabilities associated with these standards. Despite this, both Intel's Battlemage and AMD's offerings are aligned in terms of DisplayPort specification compliance.
The launch timeline for Intel’s new GPU architecture is projected for the fourth quarter, following its anticipated introduction alongside the Lunar Lake processors. However, detailed information about the capabilities and exact specifications of the Battlemage GPUs remains limited at this stage.
