Intel Xe GPU Packing 128 EUs, 3 GB VRAM Tested in Geekbench
Intel is still in the work of testing and certification for their more complex graphics products based on their Xe microarchitectures, and that means that some tests are being done in well-known benchmarking platforms. Case in point, an Intel Xe GPU with a reported 128 EUs (1024 shading units), 3 GB of memory, and a clockspeed of 1.4 GHz ran through Geekbench, where it scored an... interesting 9,311 points in the OpenCL test.
This is more likely than not an engineering sample, considering that Intel's Iris Xe MAX wrapped in its Tiger Lake package can score up to 23,000 points. It is currently unclear if this particular Xe manifestation is running on Intel's Xe-LP or Xe-HPG architecture. This might be Intel's DG-2 product, which offers higher performance than their DG-1 discrete graphics card that is only available for system integrators.

Ah yes, Intel, the brand known for well priced budget parts.
This is the biggest issue Intel GPUs face, is that Intel can't release a budget product to save their lives without it being utter garbage. If Intel could throw its weight in the low end GPU market to build its base and show its got serious interest in the GPU market then they would have a chance, but right now they will release an AMD 6500XT quality part at 6900XT pricing... and 6900XT availability.
Intel is capable of making great products and they will do the same in the GPU space, but at present their production capabilities is an unmitigated disaster.
But it is what it is, so let them eat dirt as far as I am concerned.... for me this just means that my future builds will be using those *other" cpu's & gpu's....at least until it is clear that they have risen from the depths of thier hellish nightmare, hehehe... :cry:.:shadedshu:.:laugh:
Release these things in a way they can mine crypto like a high end AMD/Nvidia card, while being as cheap as the lowest end AMD/Nvidia card, while being unable to run any game decently. Thank you.
PS: mass production will be necessary, so they can find the card anywhere in stock.
