Intel's Gaming Graphics Architecture, Xe-HPG, Now Sampling to Partners
Intel has begun sampling its Xe-HPG (High performance Gaming) products to ecosystem partners, which will allow them to verify performance, power, stability and board characteristics that are necessary variables in product development and launch. The information comes courtesy of Intel, who has updated its graphics product roadmap regarding DG2 sampling and for its Xe-HPC (High Performance Computing) products as well. Xe HPC products (codenamed Ponte Vecchio after a beautiful Florentine bridge) have now achieved power-on capabilities and are undergoing validation before subsequent steps in the hardware development workflow.

But....

Which14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ version did they build it on, hehehehehe ?
1. They have actual chips ready.
2. Honest ? Really ? This is Intel we're talking about, they'll find a way to make their numbers completely irrelevant.
In case you had hopes and dreams of high volume production, nope.Hence the question ;) The implications are only yours :D
And even if they have production chips, the pessimist in me has not forgotten how they axed their Broadwell IGP that actually did have a unique selling point. Xe so far... I'm not seeing it.Raja's hair already turned white from all the chemical smoke when they tried powering those chips up before, I guess. Or he mistook the bleach for coolant.
