Xe3P architecture could power more than one hardware segment, and as per the leaked log, it could also power discrete GPUs.
Leaked Log File Reveals Xe3P is Available in Two Variants: LPM and HPM; The Latter Will Reportedly Power Discrete GPUs
Intel's upcoming Xe3P GPU architecture reportedly won't be reserved only for the Crescent Island, but may power more hardware, such as the upcoming Intel Nova Lake, as we talked in a previous post, and also "discrete" GPUs. Nova Lake is supposed to have Xe3P-based iGPUs as per leaked Linux kernel patches, and today, another leak showed that Intel will probably use Xe3P for either Gaming or Arc Pro GPUs.
![Check results showing various Xe models, such as Xe_HPG and Xe3_LPG, all marked as [PASSED] with corresponding values.](https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Intel-Xe3P-LPM-HPM.png)
The user @GawroskiT spotted two variants of the Xe3P architecture in a hardware/firmware log file, which revealed that Xe3P will be available in either LPM (Low Power Media) or HPM (High Power Media) variants. These aren't full GPU architecture variants like LPG and HPG, which would have almost confirmed that the Xe3P will power discrete GPUs, but since it will still be available in two different media engine performance tiers, there are chances we could see Xe3P power discrete GPUs through its HPM variant.
At the moment, the usage of Xe3P architecture remains ambiguous except for the data center Crescent Island GPUs, but its usage in the Nova Lake CPU family is highly likely. Nova Lake should use the Xe3P as its main iGPU architecture for essential graphics and Xe4 (Druid) for the display and media. On the other side, the Xe3P could be used in discrete GPUs such as the Arc gaming cards or the Arc Pro cards for workstation usage.
Intel hasn't confirmed both HPM and LPM variants, though, and therefore, you shouldn't consider this final. Assuming that the Xe3P does end up in the discrete GPUs, it could be classified under the Arc C family, aka Celestial, but Intel hasn't yet confirmed this categorization, even though it has excluded Xe3P from the Arc B family.
