Sources within the industry have indicated that Intel plans to release its Battlemage series of graphics cards prior to the Black Friday shopping event, scheduled for November 29, 2024. This strategic timing could play a crucial role for Intel, aligning with the significant consumer interest generated during this period. Intel's inaugural Arc series graphics card was launched in early October 2022, suggesting a pattern where a November release could capitalize on the year-end shopping surge. However, Intel has maintained discretion regarding the specifics of the Battlemage series, with official statements focusing on the ongoing development and a pronounced emphasis on software enhancements.
