This sample, it seems, has 11.6 GB VRAM, an extraordinary 2,850 MHz clock speed, 160 Xe Vector Engines (XVEs), and presumably 20 Xe-cores, given that Xe 2 GPUs have 8 Vector Engines per Xe-core.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark lists the GPU as &#8220;8086:E20B&#8221; and Wccftech notes that this device ID has previously cropped up in Linux drivers as a &#8220;G21&#8221; codenamed GPU. It&apos;s quite likely, therefore, that this is in fact a Battlemage GPU benchmark result.<\/p>\n<p>Intel&apos;s next-gen <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/embargo-no-pubits-on-our-first-look-at-intel-battlemage-comes-from-lunar-lakes-new-graphics-silicon-with-its-redesigned-xe2-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Battlemage discrete graphics cards are officially coming<\/a>, and they boast the same Xe2 graphics architecture as found in the latest Lunar Lake mobile processors. We already know from <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/heres-why-im-hoping-to-score-lunar-lake-inside-my-next-handheld-gaming-pc-intels-core-ultra-7-258v-tested-in-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testing Lunar Lake<\/a> that Xe2 offers a significant step up in gaming performance over Xe graphics such as is found in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hands-on-intels-core-ultra-7-165h-is-golden-for-gaming-if-you-can-turn-on-xess-and-mostly-playable-without\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meteor Lake laptops<\/a>, so we can expect similar pound-for-pound (so to speak) improvements from Battlemage.<\/p>\n<p>And to be quite clear, Lunar Lake <em>is <\/em>seeming quite phenomenal on the graphics front. Our testing shows, for instance, a 30% increase in Time Spy GPU scores compared to first-gen Xe graphics. Given this, it&apos;s plenty reasonable to be excited about the prospect of this architecture finding its way into our rigs in discrete form.<\/p>\n<p>What gives, then, with this apparent Battlemage GPU&apos;s 97,943 score?

First, this is only an engineering sample. Although we&apos;re hoping for Battlemage GPUs to hit the market over the coming months, there&apos;s no reason to assume this benchmark comes from a final or even close-to-final engineering sample. Final samples, when optimised and, y&apos;know, <em>finalised<\/em>, could perform much better.<\/p>\n<p>Second, 20 Xe-cores isn&apos;t many and is far less than the number found in previous-gen Intel Arc graphics cards. For reference, the A770 has 32 Xe-cores and the A750 has 28.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under that light, a 94k Geekbench score isn&apos;t too bad\u2014especially for an engineering sample. Assuming this actually is Battlemage, this would mean it will perform <em>at the very least <\/em>marginally better than the A750 despite having eight fewer Xe-cores.
