Intel's Raja Koduri Teases Xe-HPG (DG2) GPU with 512 Execution Units
Today, Mr. Raja Koduri, senior vice president, chief architect, and general manager of Architecture, Graphics, and Software at Intel, has teased Intel's upcoming Xe-HPG (DG2) gaming GPU on Twitter. Sharing a die shot of Intel's Xe-HPG design with 512 Execution Units (EUs), Mr. Koduri has highlighted the progress that the company is currently going through. The Xe-HPG will represent the company's efforts of going into a very competitive discrete GPU market, dominated by a duopoly of AMD and NVIDIA. The Xe-HPG design pictured below is representative of a maxed-out SKU with 512 EUs, translating into 4096 shading units. This model is expected to be paired with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.
"From jittery journeys to buttery smooth" - it is quoted in a Tweet of Mr. Koduri. This doubles down on the efforts Intel is putting into creating a GPU and the difficulties that the company is facing. It is also noted that there remains a lot of work in form of driver coding and a lot of game optimizations, which are very important for the new GPU. You can check out the complete Tweet below.
Update 07:55 UTC: According to @_rogame, who has performed calculations of die size by placing the image in the leaked PCB scheme of the DG2 designs, we have information about rough die size. The estimations are currently that the die is measured at 22.3 mm lenght and 8.5 mm width, resulting in 190 mm² area.

Raja KoduriXe-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:)

Wonder if the FSR is going to work on Intel's GPUs. Hopefully yes.
It's all that matters.
Imagine they were ready by Q2 2020 and made on Intels own fabs ... Would have sold like hotcakes in this GPU market
if this were made at intel own fabs, they would've flooded the market and pushed AMD and Nvidia to irrelevancy, in price and availability, but since they outsourcing it to TSMC, how's that any different from current situation
what about matrox? ;-)
AMD is not responsible for Nvidia's price. Jensen Huang already said, If you want cheaper GPU buy more Nvidia GPU. So if you want your nvidia gpu to be cheaper buy nvidia gpu at breakfast , lunch and dinner.
