The next graphics cards Intel Arc “Celestial” would incorporate a new architecture XE3P and could be manufactured by Intel Foundry.
Intel Arc Celestial would use a new architecture of GPU «XE3P»
Although the launch of the GPUS Arc Battlemage It has not yet ended, Intel Everything is already preparing for the next generation of Gpus Arc, which will have as a code name Heavenly.
Little by little we know more about Heavenly, And this time you have to comment on the name of the next architecture and also how it would be manufactured.
As we know, Battlemage Use a called GPU architecture XE2but with the arrival of Heavenly There is a new improved architecture called XE3P. Intel would have decided to use this name instead of simply xe3, which had already been added to the tool Hwinfo a few months ago. We do not know if it is indeed a change of name or that Intel has developed an improved version of it.

Unlike what happened with Battlemage, Intel could manufacture these chips with their own process nodes instead of using TSMC, which would mark an important advance for the company, to be able to manufacture GPUS in its own factories instead of depending on third parties.
It is believed that with Heavenly, Intel is going to compete for superior performance, not only focused on the intermediate range, but also in the high range, a complex objective with a NVIDIA that takes more and more distance from its AMD competitor for the crown of performance.
At the moment, the only model that has been detected XE3 It has been a piece with 128 EU O 16 XE Coreswhich would be a low -end GPU.
The Celestial Gpus would debut as integrated graphics within the processors Panther Lakewhile discrete graphics would be launched in early 2026. We will keep you informed.
