Intel seems to plan two gaming video cards
It's taking Intel a long time to get Xe going for consumers. The desktop GPUs SKUs are still not talked about, but who knows during CES some more information will be shared. Two new Xe entries however have been spotted.
We know that Intel is still hard at work with Xe for desktop and has plans for it, we however do wonder if it's not too late and too little looking at the lineup from AMD and NVIDIA. Intel's latest graphics driver shows the existence of two different SKUs. A DG2 card with 128 execution units, which could mean 1024 shading processors. And then another variant is mentioned with 512 eu's. This version is said to have 4096 shader cores. The latter would, however, require that two tiles are installed on the card, much like AMD is doing with multiple CPU dies on a processor package (chiplets). The performance level of these chips remains unknown.
Here and there, Xe units have already appeared in benchmark databases, but these were always early test units on drivers that are still unfinished. What we do know is that the DG2 will probably be equipped with 8 GiByte GDDR6 because it has already been spotted. Intel may provide more information during the CES fair, which starts next week.

Stock for consumer too

At this point they don't even have to compete in the performance category if it gets even remotely close in performance at a reasonable price it will sell and at least alleviate stock levels since it will most likely be on intels own fabs and not tsmc

It'll be pretty interesting if Intel actually gets the first MCM consumer GPU out and it works just fine. They would be a nice comeback against AMD who conquered the desktop CPU market with the technology. Looking at how things are going in the video card market where few can secure a unit and things are only going in the worse direction, thanks to the thrice accursed miners (the guy who invented crypto currency should be sitting in a jail), Intel might actually find some business even if their offering wasn't quite as good as AMD or Nvidia's. After all, any card is better than no card.
