Intel DG2 Graphics Card Leakers Suggest Performance Similar to NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti, AMD RX 6700
Intel's foray into the discrete GPU market is inching ever closer, and with that diminishing time to market, leaks are getting more common. Renowned leaker TUM_APISAK has shared some performance numbers for Intel's upcoming DG2 graphics card, part of the company's Xe HPG (High Performance Gaming) architecture. In the leak, he also confirmed that Intel is working on a cut-down version of their top offering (which features 4,096 shading units spread across 512 EUs) in the form of a new SKU that offers 448 EUs and 3584 shading units running at 1.8 GHz. That is the actual chip whose relative performance was shared.
According to TUM_APISAK, users should expect the Intel DG2 448 EU graphics card to offer performance that's around the NVIDIA RTX 3070 (5% lower performance for the Intel part) and AMD's RX 6700 XT (8% lower performance for the Intel part). As for the performance of the full-fat 512 EU chip, another leaker, Moore's Law is Dead, expects its performance to fall very slightly lower than the performance offered by NVIDIA's RTX 3080 and AMD's RX 6800/6800 XT. The 512-EU DG2 should also feature higher Boost clocks up to 2.2 GHz. Intel's launch of their Xe HPG graphics architecture is expected to occur before the end of the year, likely starting with the highest performance/highest margin parts, trickling down the product stack through the beginning of 2022. Intel's launch should help in alleviating the lack of available graphics cards, whilst simultaneously breaking a duopoly market.

Spent few weeks running 4K monitor off a GT730 and it was fine for work and productivity. Even DG1 would be a killer WS GPU, if only it was.... khm... was...

A few years ago... I got a Vega64. Vega64 would have been a bad buy for $700 MSRP. But I bought mine at $400, because free market will sell at free market prices.
I have absolutely no problem waiting for a price i'm confortable with.
PD: i'll never buy anything this year if prices keep so damn high, no matter if "the open market" considers it a good price. I have all the time and patience in the world.
Edit: TSMC 5nm pre-order. www.gizmochina.com/2021/02/08/apple-tsmc-5nm-chips-2021/
maybe in a couple weeks I will get lucky. i really am getting a bit burned out at sitting at my desk, and console is just so much easier to get a lazy boy recliner and kick back with a controller. instead of having to go into settings change this or that so the tv works properly, etc etc etc
With that in mind, I still don't understand why AMD and Nvidia release the big bucks high-end cards FIRST, when it's the low to mid range market where the majority of purchases are made.
!
Overeliance on TSMC in the face of all these chip shortages and China's aggressiveness towards Taiwan is shaping up hot like a glassblower's bottleneck.LOL! This will be a real GPU, not a network of CPUs emulating a GPU on a card like Larrabee!
Remember, they've been already "sampling" DG2 to OEMs for over 1.5 years(e.g. it was technically ready for production or in production). And DG1 is just a Tiger Lake iGPU glued to its own PCB... and I don't see any Intel laptop shortages (e.g. the die is in super-active production).No, it's not the same. I can dig into my rainy day fund, walk out the door and buy another 30-series card in a matter of minutes. I can't buy DG1 even if I have a mil stashed in my bank account.
