Intels XE 2020 desktop GPU hardware preview

[Radox-0]

More competition is only a good thing, bring it on I say

Hopefully with their deep pockets and resources, they can offer some compelling products over time.

 

[DELETED_195422]

Will be good to see more competition and end the duopoly by AMD/Nvidia.

The GPU market is depressing at the moment.

 

[Mauller]

There is certainly some really interesting stuff to come out with xe, Raja was pretty confident with it when talking with him at siggraph last year.

 

[Chrisc]

i hope its 2080ti performance for no more than £50.

 

[Matt26LFC]

Hopefully they'll have something to start rivalling Nvidia as AMD can't seem to do it

i hope its 2080ti performance for no more than £50.

This would be the type of revolution in graphics performance never yet seen and probably never thought by anyone.

I would be slightly more generous and would give for that £295.

The good thing - many more gamers would enjoy 4K gaming.

 

[Grim5]

I think he was being sarcastic
2080ti performance for 50 pound is at least 10 to 15 years away

Not going to wait for intel so many unknowns. My advice if you want or need a GPU in the next 12 months then do it with teams green or red as normal.

I doubt intel will be anywhere near even mid range graphics from NV/AMD when they squeeze there effort out..

Why?

The Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake 64 EU) with only 64 CU at 1100MHz and DDR4 is faster than Vega 10 https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel...-par-with-AMD-Radeon-RX-Vega-10.435709.0.html
The 10nm Core i7-1065G7 at 15W must be a small chip https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/core_i7/i7-1065g7#Die

 

[sideways14a]

First time out they aint gonna hit a home run.
Plus there is intels brilliant drivers.

Nope.

 

[DELETED_195422]

Let's not jump to conclusions until the cards are out in the market, tested and reviewed.

 

[4K8KW10]

They (Arctic Sound) will be on 14nm++ which in general means they won't be that competitive against AMD's 7nm Navis.

"Coming back to the gaming side, a few variants have already been leaked out with EU (Execution Units) count ranging from 128, 256 and 512."

 

[Bluntwrapped]

Someone should round up the Nvidia, AMD and Intel R&D managers, ask them to simultaneously say something about 1080p, then a offer up a roundhouse slap to cover all three at the same time.

This ain’t 2009 any longer could be the take home message.

Intel Xe Mobility GPUs To Target 1080p 60 FPS eSports Gaming

Well the new 5500M targets 90fps+ on eSports so that gives us a little idea on how they will compare. I'm not expecting a competetive Intel gfx product for a few years yet (like you say, they've slipped up big time on process technology).

 

[Grim5]

Intel Xe DG2 512 sku spotted in the graphics driver.

Looks like a desktop 512 execution unit GPU, at 2ghz = 20 teraflops

No detail on TDP but the mobile 96EU cards are 25w - simple scaling suggests about 150w tdp

It's far more energy efficient than anything AMD or Nvidia makes, those guys can't make a 20tflop card at just 150w

And you still won't be able to any of them when they do release

 

[Quartz]

And you still won't be able to any of them when they do release

Bad @pieman109 , bad!

 

[pieman109]

Bad @pieman109 , bad!

I'm probably right though

 

[willhub]

Maybe it'll be faster than a 3080?
