The discrete GPU market has been a duopoly for quite some time, and when Intel announced that the company is rebooting plans for its discrete GPU lineup, another player was about to break that duopoly. Today, that has been changed forever and Intel has officially become the third manufacturer of discrete GPUs, as we can see on the online listing. On BestBuy, CyberPowerPC has listed "Gamer Xtreme Gaming Desktop" powered exclusively by Intel components. When it comes to the CPU choice, Intel's 6C/12T Core i5-11400F CPU model is present without iGPU. Now comes the interesting part. The GPU powering the system is Intel Iris Xe discrete graphics card, which is a DG1 GPU based on Xe-LP SKU.

This model features 80 EUs, resulting in 640 shading units. While this is not any gaming beast, casual 1080p gaming should be just fine on this configuration. The system is listed for 750 US Dollars, and it is sold out, as of the time of writing this. While the performance of this configuration may not be something monumental, it is an important step towards Intel's inclusion in the discrete GPU market. By using OEMs, the GPU will reach a very large market without any major problems. We are waiting to see the first reviews of the system, which will surely take a good look at the card and examine its performance.

I mean....if you want one already then why do you care about a review?
And if you care about a review...then why have you made up your mind already about wanting it?

I just want the card from a technological aspect. My drive to want it has nothing to do with performance numbers. I don't own anything it would able to replace. Just a nice curiosity.

The performance would be academic. I'm simply curious.

Any idea of what performance range these are expected to fall into - 580/1060?

I find it odd/worrying that Intel hasn't given the usual GPU reviewers samples. AMD and Nvidia send samples to dozens of youtube reviewers and even more tranditional websites like TPU for more in-depth articles.

Nobody's expecting the DG1 to be a beast, as it's just Intels' Tiger Lake i5 IGP with the benefit of a bigger TDP and dedicated VRAM. Maybe it'll be a 1080p60 esports card which is absolutely fine, if unexciting. My real issue is that the world has been waiting 23 years for Intel to get back in the dGPU game and become a third competitor to AMD and Nvidia. This sneak launch is underwhelming and disappointing AF :\

DG2 was supposed to be a GTX1060 competitor back when Intel were demoing it in early 2020. This DG1 is really just a laptop IGP put onto a seperate board. It even uses laptop LPDDR4X rather than GDDR VRAM, and early leaks say it's only a 30W part on 10nm which confirms its an unused Xe Max chip originally destined for laptops.

Think RX550, but with flaky early-stage drivers because Intel still has a lot of kinks to work out with Xe.

I guess it will be in the range of GF 1030 and GF 1050Ti, because it has only 80 Computing Units ( UHD 730 in iGPU has 24CU) and 4 GB LPDDR4X (68 GB/s. bandwidth).

hah, so.......BustBuy gets 1st crack at selling these "all-intel" powered rigs....

If past performance is any indicator, it will be a colossal "BUST", as the clowns they have working there can barely walk & talk at the same time, let alone know shit about computers, or anything else for that matter...

to wit:

My son went there last week to buy a lappy, against my warnings, and said he asked the salesgirl about what GPU was in the machine, she replied with "a really good 8 core one" so she obviously had no clue whatsoever, and neither did her little tweenie-bot flam-boi (with purple hair & green finger nails) helper that she called over to go see if they had the unit in stock or not...which of course took him 20 minutes, and he came back without a definitive answer....

Then to top it all off, he offered to sell the display unit to my son for a mere $40 discount (OH HELL NO !) and then.......

O>M>G>

twitty-girl literally had a hissy fit and started screaming at him about how they could not sell the displays under any circumstances and started shooing him away...

what a cluster :) I wish my son had recorded the whole event so I could die from laughter after watching it :)

If mining died completely right now they wouldn't all come back. Still a massive semiconductor shortage and scalper bots getting everything they can to slap on ebay.

Same. I want to see performance not only on new titles but also old titles as well. Power consumption, ect.

The smaller version will have 16 graphics cores

I would be very interested in one as well on a Linux box, where Intel support is pretty good, and OpenCL support can be added with a single line in Terminal. If you're a Darktable user, OpenCL can really speed up some of the processing functions.

, and it is sold out, as of the time of writing this

not surprised, would be interesting to see who bought what and how many.

Waiting for someone to claim miners bought them all... :shadedshu:

It's 10nm+ repurposed parts. They are already made so it's not as if they're using silicon that could be doing something else, and it's not like 10nm+ is good enough to do much else with anyway. Low-power, low-clock, small-die parts that can't scale up in size or speed because the manufacturing process is fundamentally broken (and no longer a focus for Intel to fix, they're investing in its successor rather than doing anything about 10nm+ problems at this stage).
