Possible entry level Intel Alchemist PCB reveals 6GB VRAM

Vermicelli, a Chiphell user, has posted a snapshot of what appears to be a graphics card from Intel's future Arc Alchemist product line. It looks to become an entry-level desktop variant, and it could be equipped with 128 execution units, according to the specifications. Despite the fact that the image does not reveal much information, Vermicelli goes into more depth.
According to the forum post, the video card does not take much power: although previously released slides indicated a TDP of up to 75 watts, it is now alleged that the lowest tiered Alchemist card would consume approximately 65 watts of electricity. Furthermore, the format would be relatively modest; the Chiphell user believes that the card is 'quite short,' and as a result, it should be able to fit into an ITX system without difficulty.
This variant is reported to be equipped with 6 GB of gddr6 memory, which is combined with a 96-bit memory bus, according to the manufacturer. In line with information supplied by Twitter user Locuza, this is what happened. According to an analysis of a die-shot published by Intel, the entry-level DG2 chip makes use of a single 64-bit controller and another 32-bit controller, for a total of 96 bits on the chip's memory bus. When all of the facts are taken into consideration, this card may feasibly be configured with 6 or 3 GB of video RAM.
The graphics processing unit die (blue) is not in the center of the package. In addition, the photo depicts the three slots for video memory that are there (green).

Question is how good will be the drivers.. given the bad name AMD has for its drivers, where Raja is from .. I don't have high expectations.
The other day I compared that using Optix, Nvidia cards are 2x faster when rendering in Blender3D compared to their equivalent cards in AMD lineup. Also, having used a Vega64 card for around 3 years, I personally have seen multiple issues caused by AMD driver updates that don't go away easily sometimes even after clean install.

6Gb or RAM in 2021...
but seriously, the "gods" have conspired events to make an unassuming gpu a runaway hit only because it will be widely available.
normally we'd be talking about "weak sauce"

On Windows, I expect great functionality and poor performance, since not only that is where their current Xe drivers stand, but Intel also just has a long way to go to optimize drivers.
In Linux, performance will be great but some features might be missing (again, that's how things currently are).

Technically just two PHY's (abbreviation for physical layer, ie. the actual connection), with one memory controller behind them. In GDDR, the memory bus to each chip is 32-bit (or technically 2x16 in GDDR6 for improved performance), so this setup could be used for 3 memory elements - one or more chips per element, so 6GB is likely with 2GB chips. 96-bit memory bus is pretty low though, but if this is a truely entry-level card on the level of say a 1030 was..
Assuming this is repeatable block, and this is the 128EU version (it has 8x16 vector units), then the 384 version might also come with 3x the memory bus, 288-bit, which would be much better for a mid-range card.
Strange how there are 2 separate and different memory controllers.
