Intel DG1 GPU incompatible with the AMD Ryzen platform and high-end Intel mobos

Intel DG1 GPU incompatible with the AMD Ryzen platform and high-end Intel mobos

Yesterday we posted a news item in which Intel announced the Iris Xe, 10nm DG1 GPU with its 640 Shader Units. The cards are OEM-based and end up in pre-built systems. New information indicated that these Xe cards would not be compatible with AMD's Ryzen platform.

Not just that, the colleagues from Legit Reviews learned from Intel that the Iris Xe graphics card could only be used with 9th and 10th generation desktop processors (that would be Coffee Lake-S and Comet Lake-S). To be able to be compatible with the DG1 GPU, the motherboards need a special bios as well.

Only motherboards based on B460, H410, B365, or H310C chipset will be provided with this bios update, which means not even the Z series would be compatible. It is unclear whether Intel wants to support more platforms in the future; we assume they will.

Also, yesterday's news indicated Colorful to be a Xe AIB partner; that news is incorrect. Colorful posted a statement on Facebook, stating that the Chinese manufacturer is not involved in producing the DG1 video cards. It looks like Intel made a mistake on its website. The photo of the model with the blue accent literally mentioned Colorful in the URL on the Intel website, quite bizarre.

Can't wait for rdna2 apu to wipe the floor with that wannabe igpu/dgpu monstrosity.

What a waste of pcb, silicon and radiators ( and some plastic too).

BLEH!

rumor: That was a main part of the patent trade agreement between AMD and Intel. Some knowledge of CPU technology for some knowledge of GPU technology but please be very gentle with it.
Or Intel is simply incapable of doing its core business, which is very unlikely. ;)

Could be a smart business decision if Intel can make there GPU/CPU work well. Someone said bye intel maybe its Bye Nvidia


But Nvidia works on AMD systems so no.

hard to explain this
are they moving the igpu to a dedicated card ?
what is the real point of a 640 shader gpu with lpddr4 ?
and why ? an apu would be better

It is not that bad. While images are taken from side which does not show PCIe-power, I have feeling that it will be powered from PCIe slot.
That means their 4096 shader version may fit to 300W without compromising clock. (Well, it is not clocked that high anyway.)
