Intel's next-gen discrete & integrated GPUs based on the Battlemage & Celestial architecture for products like Panther Lake & Nova Lake have received HWiNFO support.
The upcoming version of HWiNFO has only two highlights and both of them target preliminary support for Intel's next-gen GPU products. It was recently reaffirmed that Intel was bringing its Battlemage GPUs to market in 2024 through a brand new roadmap and now, we have the first support added to HWiNFO for these next-gen chips.

The support is separated into two parts, first, we have the integrated GPUs for Panther Lake & Nova Lake CPUs. Both CPU families are expected to launch between 2025-2026 and will replace the Intel Arrow Lake & Lunar Lake lineups. Panther Lake looks to be the direct follow-up to Arrow Lake since Lunar Lake is mostly designed for low-power platforms.
While the Xe2-LPG "Battlemage" architecture is expected to be employed by the Intel Lunar Lake-M CPUs, a previous leak pointed out that we should be seeing Xe3-LPG "Celestial" on the Panther Lake lineup. Similarly, we might either get an upgraded version of Celestial for the Nova Lake family, similar to Alchemist+ for Arrow Lake, or Intel may just move ahead and introduce the Xe4-LPG "Druid" architecture for Panther Lake's successor.
Coming to the discrete GPU side of things, support for both Battlemage "Xe2" and Celestial "Xe3" is mentioned. Battlemage is looking to be a major launch on the discrete graphics front in 2024 while Celestial discrete GPUs should aim at a 2025-2026 timeframe. Recent tests have shown that Intel's Arc iGPU offers very competitive performance against AMD's RDNA 3 iGPUs so the momentum will continue to grow as we see more future launches. Meanwhile, the Intel discrete GPU department is also very competitive in the budget market with new performance-enhancing drivers rolling out each month.
