Intel Xe-HPG DG2 GPU Engineering Sample Photos (updated)

Intel Xe-HPG DG2 GPU Engineering Sample Photos (updated)

Updated: Intel's Senior Vice President of Graphics Products Division Raja Koduri posted a photo his Twitter account working at the Intels labs in Folsom, California. In it, you can see that they are testing a GPU in 3DMark benchmarking software, and it is most likely the upcoming Intel Xe-HPG (DG2).

If you zoom in a little you can see that it is clearly an engineering sample far from production stabes. It shows a large heatsink and fan similar to that used in CPUs. This is because early-stage chips are assembled this way for quick evaluation. According to rumors, the flagship model will feature 4,096 cores (512 EU), and will be offered in 8GB / 16GB configurations of GDDR6 VRAM memory, alongside a 256-bit memory interface. You can see the detail of the rest of the Intel Xe-HPG family below:

 

Intel Xe-HPG (DG2) GPUs
Model GPU Shading Units Memory Memory interface
Xe-HPG 512EU DG2-512EUs 4096 16 / 8GB GDDR6 256 bits
Xe-HPG 384EU DG2-384EUs 3072 12 / 6GB GDDR6 192 bits
Xe-HPG 256EU DG2-384EUs 2048 8 / 4GB GDDR6 128 bit
Xe-HPG 192EU DG2-384EUs 1536 4GB GDDR6 128 bit
Xe-HPG 128EU DG2-128EUs 1024 4GB GDDR6 64 bit
Xe-HPG 96EU DG2-128EUs 768 4GB GDDR6 64 bit

  

Update: Moore's Law is Dead has obtained pictures of any early engineering sample of Intel's upcoming DG2 GPU. 512 Execution Units. Intel is still deciding between cooler designs and also would be working on a NVIDIA DLSS/AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution competitor codenamed XeSS. The GPU would be able to reach a clock speed of 2.2 GHz while gaming, the memory configuration consists of 16 GB gddr6 with a 256-bit memory bus. Offering slightly better than the RTX 3070; the power consumption is estimated at 275 watts, the engineering sample shown is equipped with an 8-pin power plug and another 6-pin connector.

Who knows, a release in q4?

Update May 6th:

Intel is starting to tease Xe GD2 now. On Twitter they posted '"Come work with us at Intel! DG2 is right around the corner, it's about to get exciting.'

With current Intel drivers , it will be fun to watch battle :D . If they manage 1080 TI performance it will be huge succes ( at decent power draw ).

From previous data, I do expect card with 4096EUs to hit 300W at around 1300~1500MHz.
Considering Intel has their own fabs, and, are using TSMC, there's a very good chance this won't have a huge availability issue. It's still probably going to get scalped and sold-out everywhere, but I think a higher percentage of non-miners (compared to AMD or Nvidia) will get their hands on it.

I wonder how many people here will get it for gaming. Because My guess is that enthusiast sales will be curiosity driven.

This time around I do not expect intel to fail. So those cards will become less interesting pieces of historical HW over time.

I like how guru3d is "only" 3 days late with this news...

Didn't hear of it until this morning.

In other words, WHO CARES? Only you.

Also, a 3rd competitor in this area will help tremendously the shortage by alleviating the burden of the first two.

ah..... not really.

unless intel are literally sitting on an unused stockpile of mosfets and substrate,

Would be cool if they were fabbed in the U.S.

I wouldnt touch it unless the driver/software side of things was proven, stable and well implemented.

And yeah, saw this a couple days ago.
I will touch it before miner's dirty hands touch it
