Intel's Battlemage Architecture
Intel’s Alchemist architecture gave the company a foot in the door to the high performance graphics segment.
While it’s not as flashy as Nvidia’s RTX 4090 or AMD’s RX 7900 XTX, midrange GPUs account for a much larger share of the discrete GPU market, thanks to their lower prices. Meteor Lake’s iGPU is a close relative of Alchemist, but its ratio of global atomic add throughput to Xe Core count is similar to Battlemage’s. Generating SIMD1 instructions gives Intel some degree of scalar optimization, but stops short of having a full-out scalar/uniform datapath like AMD or post-Turing Nvidia.
