Intel's academician, Tom Petersen, has also alluded to efforts directed towards developing architectures beyond Battlemage, specifically the Celestial series. This points towards Intel's forward-looking approach in its graphics card technology roadmap. The company's strategy for the Arc graphics card series appears to diverge from previous marketing practices, with limited information being disseminated internally, aiming to create anticipation and surprise within the gaming community.
The Arc series roadmap outlines a progression from the Alchemist architecture to the forthcoming Battlemage, followed by Celestial and Druid, indicating a continual evolution in Intel's graphics card offerings. The transition to Battlemage is expected to introduce advancements, including a shift to PCIe 5.0, while details regarding the manufacturing process node remain unspecified.
