Intel's Gaming Graphics Architecture, Xe-HPG, Now Sampling to Partners

Raevenlord · Jun 30, 2021

Intel has begun sampling its Xe-HPG (High performance Gaming) products to ecosystem partners, which will allow them to verify performance, power, stability and board characteristics that are necessary variables in product development and launch. The information comes courtesy of Intel, who has updated its graphics product roadmap regarding DG2 sampling and for its Xe-HPC (High Performance Computing) products as well. Xe HPC products (codenamed Ponte Vecchio after a beautiful Florentine bridge) have now achieved power-on capabilities and are undergoing validation before subsequent steps in the hardware development workflow.

An honest benchmark of ingame sequences, when?

DeathtoGnomes · Jun 30, 2021

not familiar with this, so how long to market? 2022?

Which14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ version did they build it on, hehehehehe ?

That implies :

1. They have actual chips ready.
2. Honest ? Really ? This is Intel we're talking about, they'll find a way to make their numbers completely irrelevant.

Who knows, Principled Technologies may start benchmarking games.

I welcome Intel to the space.

They have finally powered the chips up and they are at least fundamentally working, not in a useable way apparently, I would expect at least a couple more spins of the die before they have a working prototype. Supporting board design and validation with memory and power delivery, outputs and bug hunting, so another 9-12 months before they have a working card that could be manufactured.

TSMC

In case you had hopes and dreams of high volume production, nope.

Hence the question

The implications are only yours

And even if they have production chips, the pessimist in me has not forgotten how they axed their Broadwell IGP that actually did have a unique selling point. Xe so far... I'm not seeing it.

Raja's hair already turned white from all the chemical smoke when they tried powering those chips up before, I guess. Or he mistook the bleach for coolant.

well, given how much time each generation seems to be taking (I mean gta 5 was launched in 2013!), then I think they should use AI to start doing the design work for them.

Id rather see Imagination Technologies/PowerVR release a discrete gpu

Ai is in dlss and it sounds inefficient due to "training"
