Battlemage, the next generation of Intel Arc GPUs, will include a model that counts 20 Xe2 Cores, 12 GB of memory, and a 2850 MHz clock among its specifications, according to a new benchmark that has surfaced on Geekbench with a PCI-ID of 8086:E20B—an identifier that cateee.net’s Linux Kernel Driver Database (LKDDB) had previously outed as being the “G21” Battlemage GPU. The GPU, which leverages the new Xe2 graphics architecture that debuted with Lunar Lake, performs somewhat similarly to the Arc A770 and GeForce RTX 4060, according to comparisons derived from its OpenCL score of 97,943.
A listing of Battlemage GPUs from the LKDDB reads:
- vendor: 8086, device: e202 (“Battlemage G21 [Intel Graphics]”), class: 03 (“Display controller”)
- vendor: 8086, device: e20b (“Battlemage G21 [Intel Graphics]”), class: 03 (“Display controller”)
- vendor: 8086, device: e20c (“Battlemage G21 [Intel Graphics]”), class: 03 (“Display controller”)
- vendor: 8086, device: e20d (“Battlemage G21 [Intel Graphics]”), class: 03 (“Display controller”)
- vendor: 8086, device: e212 (“Battlemage G21 [Intel Graphics]”), class: 03 (“Display controller”)

One report noted:
The GPU features 160 compute units that are dual array and form up to 20 Xe2 cores. The GPU clock speed is set to 2850 MHz which is much higher than what we have seen on any consumer-level discrete graphics card & this particular SKU is configured with 12 GB of memory.
