We have the first photo of the GPU chip with which Intel will enter the game graphics market and start competing with the Radeons and Nvidia. It has 4096 shaders, so no more lowend.

Intel is over Computexovou keynote behind it, but the company did not find the most attractive topics on it, as AMD did. Surprisingly, Intel was not interested in introducing the upcoming Xe HPG graphics cards, which would normally be expected. But maybe it was because he went straight to the “socials” with them instead. Directly Raja Koduri, the head of graphics at Intel, has now become a leaker himself and showed the first photo of the gaming GPU, which Intel is preparing for release in the second half of this year.

Koduri had shown the upcoming silicon or GPU before (see for example here or here), so it may not be so surprising. But on the other hand, the chip he showed now is probably the most anticipated of Intel’s graphics program, as the first to perform well enough to shuffle the gaming market. The photo Koduri has now shown represents a 512 EU GPU, 4096 shaders. The chip is so directly titled: DG-512.

The GPU itself looks quite done, it looks like (again according to the label) it should be a revision of B0, which could be close to what will be launched on the market. However, because standalone graphics are still a new area for Intel, there may be more revisions than usual before the release. Silicon itself is probably more or less done, but according to Raji Koduri’s comment, the graphics team still has a lot of work to do to optimize games and drivers for this GPU, which of course goes without saying.

It is likely that this chip was also found in the EC sample cardwhich some time ago leaker showed Moore’s Law is Dead. According to the latest information, this GPU could eventually have performance roughly GeForce RTX 3070 or GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

According to leaks, the chip should be 6nm (manufactured by TSMC) and it does not seem so big. In addition to 4096 shaders using a 256-bit bus, the card should be supplemented with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. The TDP of the entire card in the desktop version could be 250-275 W, but for laptops the consumption should be significantly lower, allegedly only 120 W. The power would of course be lower, of course.

Xe-HPG (DG2) real candy – very productive time at the Folsom lab couple of weeks ago. “From jittery journeys to buttery smooth” said @rogerdchandler –
lots of game and driver optimization work ahead for @gfxlisa’s software team. They are all very excited..and a little scared:) pic.twitter.com/tQcfEWf8p4

Koduri has not yet revealed when the chip in the photo will come on the market. It is expected that it could be more before the end of the year.
