Intel Xe coming soon?

Raj posted this picture - it's a custom number plate on his Tesla - it says "THINKXE" along with a date embossed on the plate "Jun 2020"

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

Link for those that haven't already seen it:

All I can take from it, is that it's going to be expensive. There is no way that that amount of different fabrication, interconnects, interposers etc is going to come cheap, even if the actual "chip/chiplet" fabrication is.

Cheap, no but for enterprise it may not matter. They're already paying crazy prices to Nvidia

And even that can be interconnected for a enourmous GPU.

The GPU in this image below is 65600 Cores, with an estimate FP32 output of 162 Teraflops.

Big leak from Moores Law is dead

This is the engineering card for the top of the line 512EU model.

Details from MLID:

* Architecture is an iteration from the Gen 12 Xe iGPU found in Tiger Lake
* Card has 512 EU at 2.2ghz
* 16gb of GDDR6 on a 256bit bus
* 275w TDP (8 pin + 6 pin)
* Intel is testing the card on both TSMC's 6nm and it's 7nm process (it has yet to decide which one to use for mass production)
* MLID's source says the card is hitting performance numbers between the RTX3070 and RTX3080 in 3D Mark Timespy.
* Intel is spending much time on Drivers, the Drivers at present still have issues that need to be fixed
* "XeSS" is the name for Intel's competitor to DLSS, yes this card supports it
* Launch window is currently Q4 2021
* No pricing has being decided, but Intel wants to be aggressive to gain quick market share
* The architecture is very good at prosumer workloads, can encode 4k HEVC to 4k AV1 at ~200fps
* The successor to this card is already being worked on, its codename is "Elasti" and has a launch window somewhere in 2023
