Intel Arc Alchemist Xe-HPG Graphics Card with 512 EUs Outperforms NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
Intel's Arc Alchemist discrete lineup of graphics cards is scheduled for launch this quarter. We are getting some performance benchmarks of the DG2-512EU silicon, representing the top-end Xe-HPG configuration. Thanks to a discovery of a famous hardware leaker TUM_APISAK, we have a measurement performed in the SiSoftware database that shows Intel's Arc Alchemist GPU with 4096 cores and, according to the report from the benchmark, just 12.8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. This is just an error on the report, as this GPU SKU should be coupled with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The card was reportedly running at 2.1 GHz frequency. However, we don't know if this represents base or boost speeds.
When it comes to actual performance, the DG2-512EU GPU managed to score 9017.52 Mpix/s, while something like NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti managed to get 8369.51 Mpix/s in the same test group. Comparing these two cards in floating-point operations, Intel has an advantage in half-float, double-float, and quad-float tests, while NVIDIA manages to hold the single-float crown. This represents a 7% advantage for Intel's GPU, meaning that Arc Alchemist has the potential for standing up against NVIDIA's offerings.

I wanted to write another lengthy rant, but I think we are going way too deep into the rabbit hole.
The alternative is that every release of GPU by Nvidia or AMD just happened to coincide with a Arc leak.
Just when a Epyc chip releases they're just happens to be a Intel server chip leak.
And when the competition release a laptop or desktop chip just happens to coincide with a raptor lake leak.
It's just a, convenient world all round eh, because all that's vice versa able.
NDA does indeed keep the pro media quite until someone else leaks stuff though that's true.
That's the stupidest statement of hope I have heard in a while.
I certainly don't hope Intel turns into a monopoly, that's the worse thing that could happen for me as a skint enthusiast.
And with many cards now having 3+ years ROI, we might finally start to see a sell off of miners GPU. That should put pressure on current market price.
Funny thing is the power draw is missing from the Sandra image. I smell fud.

"Fact or no fact something positive seems to be brewing. This said I would hope however that AMD ultimately gets out of the CPU making business altogether and concentrate solely in producing GPU’s. And leave Intel to be the dominant USA CPU producer because that is what they do best!"
really amd get out of CPU, If intel was only one making x86 cpus (one we would never of had the x86-64 we have today ( Tualatin / or itanium's ? anyone??) if intel was alone u think we would be getting 16 cores (8c/16t + 8c) P & E cores on 12900K etc. No and we sill be on single or dual cores (at most Quad-Cores which intel had for over decade LOL) SO NO AMD NEEDS TO STAY IN THE GAME!! WE NEED MORE COPANIES IN COMPETITION TO GET COSTS DOWN!!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE ECONOMICS,( WATCH ON YOUTUBE TECHONIMICS POD CAST.
