Intel DG2 GPU To Get Released This Year features Ray Tracing support natively

Intel DG2 GPU To Get Released This Year features Ray Tracing support natively

Intel's senior vice president of graphics products division, Raja Koduri, commented in a Tweet about the launch date of the DG2 graphics card; it will be manufactured by TSMC at a 6nm process and will employ the Xe-HPG architecture, which supports Ray Tracing natively.

Koduri said in an interaction a few days ago that there are many things to look forward to in 2021, and two graphics department executives, saying that their team is preparing for high-performance products.


 

Koduri betokens that the Intel DG2s will arrive in 2021 and aim to make a place for themselves on desktop PCs. The comment comes from a thread from engineer Jeremy Soller, who commented on why he's looking forward to Intel graphics cards. Intel DG2 would arrive in two models, one with 4096 Shaders (512 CUs), 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, the other with 1024 Shaders (128 CU), and 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. Both will be based on the Xe-HPG architecture, thus have support for Ray Tracing. Intel will leave to TSMC the manufacture of DG2, which will use the 6nm EUV process. This will be promoted by the Taiwanese manufacturer this year, which is based on an improvement of 7nm.

Previously, some media also gave a possible price range of DG2 graphics cards, 400 to 600 US dollars, which means that its performance should meet RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 levels. But that is highly speculative.

Mostly interested for a third party to the table . Maybe prices come back to AFFORDABLE levels .

That would be logic, however, you now have three GPU manufacturers fighting over TSMC production capacity, that process works with bidding, which again can drive prices up.

When I noticed video card prices jumped 100 euros from last week, I'm certainly more and more eager to see a third manufacturer enter the GPU market. Intel might not have traditionally been the one to drive prices down, but when they are the newcomer starting from zero, they can't very well price their products too high, unless the cards are totally out of this world performance wise. But they won't be.

It could. But I doubt Intel's induction to the GPU game will drive the demand for GPUs to increase. Which could mean that TSMC will still have to provide the same amount of silicon, but with a different distribution ratio.
