Intel's Xe2 Battlemage GPU is on track for a potential debut before CES 2025, with over 30% of the team dedicated to its software development, while the hardware team is already working on the successor, Xe3 Celestial architecture. The company has learned from previous delays and is maintaining secrecy around the details of the architecture, but speculations suggest it may feature up to 56 Xe-Cores, next-gen memory subsystem, and improved ray tracing acceleration.
