Intel's Battlemage flagship falls back to BMG G31
The later BMG G31 filing points to 32 Xe cores, 24 or 32 MB of L2 cache, and a high 2 GHz boost.
| BMG G31 | BMG G21 | |
|---|---|---|
| Xe cores | 32 | 20 |
| memory | 16 GB GDDR6 or GDDR6X | 16 GB GDDR6 at 20 Gbps or GDDR6X |
| bus | 256-bit | 192-bit |
| L2 cache | 24 or 32 MB | 16 MB |
| boost clock | high 2 GHz | 2 GHz |
| process | TSMC N5P | |
| die size | 379 mm² | about 250 mm² |
| PCIe | Gen 5 x8 |
The earlier NotebookCheck leak listed RedGamingTech's 64 Xe cores, 48 MB of L2 cache, a 256-bit bus, and clocks above 3 GHz.
The same page set the Arc A770 at 32 Xe cores, 16 MB of L2, a 256-bit bus, and a 2400 MHz boost.
The die was compared to the AD103, which is 379 mm².
The later BMG G31 filing lists 16 GB of GDDR6 or GDDR6X, a 256-bit bus, TSMC N5P, and a 379 mm² die.
BMG G10 was abandoned, and BMG G31 is the new flagship.
The midrange BMG G21 gets 20 Xe cores, 16 MB of L2, a 192-bit bus, PCIe Gen 5 x8, and about 250 mm².
TDP, memory bandwidth, price, and benchmark performance remain unmeasured.
Final SKU names, launch timing, and the data-center Melville Sound line remain unconfirmed.
Die Brief reads the 64-core, 48 MB, 3 GHz line as a ceiling, not a confirmed SKU. The later BMG G31 filing constrains the flagship to 32 Xe cores, 24 or 32 MB of L2, and a high 2 GHz boost, so the buyer should not pay for a 4070 Ti promise until a board is measured.
After @The_Display_Guy. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs. Also filed by notebookcheck.biz, Igor's Lab.
