Testing interposers for Arrow Lake-HX, Lunar Lake-M, and Battlemage are listed by Intel.

Intel recently made updates to its website to showcase the use of interposers in testing upcoming chips before integrating them into actual products. One specific webpage now displays the components used by various tools, with a focus on the "Gen5 VR," which refers to the CPU Voltage Regulator in this context. The update reveals at least four products that have not yet been announced: Battlemage (BMG), Arrow Lake (ARL), and Lunar Lake (LNL), which are scheduled for launch in 2024. Of particular interest are the two Battlemage interposers: BGA2362-BMG-X2 and BGA2727-BMG-X3. This suggests that a Battlemage GPU may have more pins than Intel's current top-tier GPU from the Alchemist series, known as DG2, which has 2660 pins (BGA2660-DG2-512EU).

This unveiling could indicate that Intel plans to introduce two GPUs in its new series or potentially two different package sizes. Manufacturers often use consistent package sizes for multiple GPUs, allowing for flexibility in swapping processors with similar specifications and presenting a viable production strategy. Another noteworthy mention is the Arrow Lake-HX, which is intended for premium desktop/laptop hybrids. While there was some speculation about the ARL-HX series before, this update provides clear confirmation from Intel. Lastly, the reveal includes an interposer for the Lunar Lake-M series (LNL-M), which is expected to be Intel's most energy-efficient line. Drawing parallels from the Alder Lake series, these chips were designed for tablets with power consumption ranging from 5 to 7 watts.
