Arrr, matey! Next year, the wondrous Celestial, or Xe3 as the landlubbers call it, be settin' sail in the Panther Lake treasure chests! Aye, the good folk be already chartin' a course to bring it to the Linux seas. Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale of the briny deep o’ tech! Intel be settin’ sail on the grand seas of Linux with their fanciful Xe3 GPU, codenamed Celestial, though ye won't catch it bein’ shipped until late in 2025. Aye, we just be seein' the second-gen Arc graphics, known as Battlemage, makin’ its debut in the shiny Lunar Lake laptops. Twas a tad premature to be lookin’ fer the third-gen Celestial, but the scallywags at Intel be preparin' the Linux kernel for its grand arrival!Now, ye might ponder how this Celestial beast be outperformin’ its predecessor, but we be left in the dark, as the winds of knowledge be blowin’ soft. The Linux driver code be holdin' its secrets tight, only hintin’ at low-power modes. As fer those discrete graphics cards, they be nowhere near sight, as Battlemage be still hidin’ in the shadows, awaitin’ its time to shine. Tis a long voyage ahead before we see standalone Battlemage cards, but with a sprinkle o' luck, they may grace us by 2025!
Meanwhile, Intel be plunderin’ the seas of power with their integrated graphics, makin’ waves with Lunar Lake and the upcomin’ Arrow Lake processors. So hoist yer sails and keep yer eyes peeled for this tech treasure on the horizon!
