That would be a major blunder by Intel. Intel really need to get it out in the next month or two to take advantage of the lack of competition and the pre-Christmas sales period.

61fps at 1080p? seems terrible?
It's built on the notoriously demanding Unreal Engine 5. But even at medium settings and some upscaling it looks very good.

i wonder if intel will release more competitive higher end cards or if they will forever be in the mid tier kind of area
its interesting
id quite like an all intel system and an all amd one you know !
now we just need nvidia to make a good desktop cpu ha ha

Part of what Intel have revealed about Battlemage so far is that it features native Execute Indirect support, which is something heavily utilised by UE5. AMD and Nvidia GPUs have had that for a long time, but Alchemist emulates it in software(!), and as such the implementation is very slow. Intel's own numbers say Battlemage sees a 12.5x speedup compared to Alchemist in that aspect of rendering due to its hardware-level support. "Having support for this in hardware is a need for next generation games" according to Intel, so I do wonder where that leaves first-gen Arc in the long run.
New drivers up, v5972.

Driver team working overtime these last couple of weeks.
The laptop parts apparently have +50% performance. Where would that put a putative B770?
Around RX 6800 non-XT performance. There was also a leak for the desktop cards a couple of weeks ago that suggested a +50% performance bump over the previous generation. He does say that's a baseline though, so there will likely be situations where it's more than that. Intel's ray tracing performance should be much stronger as well of course, since it already was and they're improving it further for Battlemage.

I'm thinking the same thing but wondering where are they?I hope Intel's next GPU is good, Intel needs a win and Nvidia need a slap
New drivers up with support for Wukong.
Here are my results at 1080p with medium settings, XeSS enabled, and 75% supersampling:
CPU bottlenecked right the way through this.....
That's going to be just about good enough. However, we've been told of at least one software to hardware acceleration so maybe the performance will be better.
Two names are out: Arc 130V and Arc 140V.

Intel graphics driver now supports Xe2 graphics, Arc 140V/130V confirmed - VideoCardz.com
Arc 140V & 130V are Lunar Lake integrated graphics Intel has confirmed naming for its next-gen mobile graphics. The first public driver for Xe2 graphics has been released and is now available for everyone to download. This release comes even before Intel has launched its Core Ultra 200V series...

I would take 5070 Ti performance at a much better price point a big win if they can achieve it with battlemage
Kind of hoping that would be 4080 + 15%.
Yeah. Probably. But we can hope
Truth is it is the next gen intel card in 2 years or so that I will take seriously. By then drivers should be good enough is my hope.

I hope the next generation - Celestial - will challenge at the top end.
