Intel DG2 Graphics Card Leakers Suggest Performance Similar to NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti, AMD RX 6700
Intel's foray into the discrete GPU market is inching ever closer, and with that diminishing time to market, leaks are getting more common. Renowned leaker TUM_APISAK has shared some performance numbers for Intel's upcoming DG2 graphics card, part of the company's Xe HPG (High Performance Gaming) architecture. In the leak, he also confirmed that Intel is working on a cut-down version of their top offering (which features 4,096 shading units spread across 512 EUs) in the form of a new SKU that offers 448 EUs and 3584 shading units running at 1.8 GHz. That is the actual chip whose relative performance was shared.
According to TUM_APISAK, users should expect the Intel DG2 448 EU graphics card to offer performance that's around the NVIDIA RTX 3070 (5% lower performance for the Intel part) and AMD's RX 6700 XT (8% lower performance for the Intel part). As for the performance of the full-fat 512 EU chip, another leaker, Moore's Law is Dead, expects its performance to fall very slightly lower than the performance offered by NVIDIA's RTX 3080 and AMD's RX 6800/6800 XT. The 512-EU DG2 should also feature higher Boost clocks up to 2.2 GHz. Intel's launch of their Xe HPG graphics architecture is expected to occur before the end of the year, likely starting with the highest performance/highest margin parts, trickling down the product stack through the beginning of 2022. Intel's launch should help in alleviating the lack of available graphics cards, whilst simultaneously breaking a duopoly market.

Even if they launch it with similar performances to good GPUs (of now), in a year the new RTX 4080 will appear and leave Intel in the dust again...
Stop leaking stuff... just send it!
We need GPUs now, and Intel could sell a whole bunch of them really fast, the market is needing powwaaa
For true success, RTX 2060 performance at €200 and plenty of stock. And GTX 1660TI at €150.
That's not how it works. If TSMC builds Intel's chips, it is because they had available capacity to sell them. And that means either a) additional capacity coming online or b) reduced quantity requirements from other customers for the same process and timeframe (because they are transitioning to another process, for example).
So, yes. Intel's GPUs will add more product to the market, it won't simply shuffle percentages around.
idk what drugs you are smoking but ill take some
The total number of cards changes when the manufactured product changes. If Qualcomm uses less 7 nm capacity (for SoC) because they're moving to 5 nm, and Intel picks up the capacity that Qualcomm abandoned, now you have effectively more chips for GPUs than you had before.
There are obviously scenarios where total GPUs available declines - AMD reducing GPU orders, for example, and Intel picking those up. But if AMD reduces orders, it's because they expect demand to decline, and so for us Consumers, we'd likely have the perception of higher availability anyway, due to less strain on available quantities (assuming AMD was right in projecting a contracting demand).
Come on intel. Give us a Geforce Ti 4200.
As long as DG2 is better than a GTX1060, I think people will give it a look. This chip shortage in 2021 suck.
In normal times it would be worth now ~100$ or less
I could sell it for ~500$ now - isn't this madness?
It really is the best time for Intel to deliver.
