Intel Xe-HPG DG2 GPU Engineering Sample Pictured

It would have been more impressive for the new kid on the block in the dGPU space to offer a unique GPU product that is low profile, no external power connectors and passively cooled that matched or exceeded the performance of a GeForce 3070. Be the Intel of 1990s; a leader, market disrupter and offer something new and amazing but instead Intel have followed AMD and Nvidia like sheep by potentially offering a bulky, long length, heavy, double slot dGPU that consumes twice the amount of power than a central heating boiler. Next.........

I agree. Intel didn't even have "official" drivers for Rocket Lake's Xe variant at launch. They really need to step up their game.

Yes they did, the drivers were available on mobo's drivers page
People should stop reading the shit some YT post, and the press should verify what they write
 
If this is not the perfect time for Intel to get into discrete graphics market I don't know when is. Hopefully their cards are slow for mining or at least buy us time until the mining software is optimized.
 
The 128Eu one is a pickle, why?!.
It'll be interesting to see how it pans out for intel this attempt, time and yes driver's will tell.
 
i will buy this if it comes out, just out of frustration from AMD and NVIDIA being shady and selling to miners and leaving us overpriced leftovers
serve them right, i will buy this card just to support intel entering the discrete gaming gpu market
they have as many fabs as TSMC, and they can beat nvidia and amd in supply
i hope they flood the market with this cards next year, i won't buy an nvidia card even if it become under MSRP, i'm way too pissed at this point
 
next june 2022 please reply to me this product is doa or cancelled again . As expected intel will delayand drag this until 2022 and launch another paper product . In fact there will never be any dedicated intel gpu ever made since they just cant remember atom failure and intel soc on smartphone market back then when intel still in its prime now intel is nothing but an underdog company on the edge of bankruptcy with technologies from 2015 . 7 years without any significant improvement at all . I will save this post and open it up next year. may be when im 50 next 2048 intel will have their gpu though.
If intel can give us this gpu and it will be used for mining also . If we were amd or nvidia we would value miners over all since they will pay any price almost and bring us much higher profit plus no warranty no responsibility . Pretty much a great deal since how easy the price would go 3 times higher plus selling old stuff to gamers .

Yet were not available from Intel themselves.

Straight from Intel's SVP of Graphics, when asked about Intel's status on the drivers.

A videocard meeting those specifications might be impossible with today's technology, or maybe possible, but at an MSRP that makes even today's inflated GPU prices seem tame.
 
Well I welcome more competition and do hope that not only the harware competitive but the software support is as well. I hope they investing a lot in the driver team as the software side is probably just as hard. I really hope this pans out and sticks a rocket up Nvidia and AMD.

Also I hope they find a way to make it completely useless for cryptocurrency mining.

The only way this will ever happen would be a big negative to the industry for indies: Game whitelists for compute.
 
Something like this will up-side-down our perception about "discrete card" :))

Will Intel ever make half decent drivers and with regular timely updates?

That's a question I ask too. It does no good to have a fast GPU at a good price if the drivers are borked. We will have to wait and see.

Dreamy , I would like a pc that makes a brew too, while we're talking total balls and making up unicorn physics that would allow such things to exist now, why not do it with a brew too.
You could startup your own GPU tech company and show all us doubters how it's done.
But do release the physics calculations you use, they could be useful for anti grav.

Well im pretty sure we can make a gpu that they describe that is just as fast as a 8800GT from 2007, yet in 2007 that would have been "total balls" and "unicorn physics" right?
So maybe, if we just...idk move tech forwards, it might just happen.

Except that's not what he said , he said 3070/80 performance without pciex extra power, just ran off the board now, sooooooo.
Move tech forward, you think they haven't? I disagree ,they have.

Unicorn physics didn't apply in 2007 either.

and!? they were available on mobo's page
suddenly people have instead of reaching for the mobo page went to Intel for drivers?! no! it's for clicks - this is not news

I want TPU to make a pool and ask people if they reach mobo's page or Intel/AMD for drivers
hell, there are lots of people who rely on GeForce Experience to update the video drivers

who are you kidding

If you use AMD hardware and drivers you go to AMD direct, not the AIB, you do go to the AIB for other essential driver's if required.
It's not that I think this was major, it is not but I do happen to always goto the actual hardware provider, because AIB websites often stop posting updated driver's ,so the latest are not there, looking at you Asus.

that's not what the average joe does - the average joes go to the AIB/manufacturer for their drivers not at the original source AMD/Intel/nVidia/Broadcom/Marvel .. etc

I disagree, the average Joe would let windows sort it, I think most who know to look, know what to look for.
And as I said ,with most AIB after a year or two at best no new drivers, so if you know you need it your on your way to the OEM.

What kind of brew? A dark like Guinness stout? Or something like Newcastle Ale? Bud Light? Or maybe programmable to make any or all three? Sign me up! Especially if it can chill that beer down after making it.
