Intel Graphics tweeted a marketing splash screen of its upcoming Xe HPG gaming discrete graphics architecture. There's not much to the video, except announcing the Xe HPG logo. It starts off with a depiction of the Xe LP architecture, on which the company's Gen12 iGPUs and Iris Xe MAX entry-level discrete GPUs are based; and swells into a larger silicon that grows in all directions. The animation could be a hint that Xe HPG chips will be an order of magnitude faster than the Iris Xe MAX, target serious gaming, and take the fight to both NVIDIA and AMD.

Intel is designing the Xe HPG graphics architecture for third-party silicon fabrication nodes, such as TSMC and Samsung, and could leverage a sub-10 nm node to significantly scale up from the Xe LP. A recent report pointed to the likelihood of 512 execution units on a certain Xe HPG variant (4,096 unified shaders) and contemporary GDDR6 memory, while Intel has the necessary IP to pull off DirectX 12 Ultimate logo readiness, including raytracing. Intel is likely eyeing a slice of the e-sports hardware segment, although a high-end GPU cannot be completely ruled out. Watch the video from the source link below.

Intel will need to do a NVidia DLSS/ AMD Super Resolution Scaling" competitor for their gpu's. They can get this done fast with their budget.
Is Intel actually push Mutli-GPU style, or something ?

I hope for a viable competitor. I fear their driver support.
Indeed, that is my major concern as well, they are quick to slap "gaming" on every product, but will they offer great after-market support with their drivers for that said gaming? Mmmm, time will tell, Intel will also have to price them well, I won't easily take a chance on a product that hasn't been on the market for at least 3 years.

I am sure they will still do well with "mining" though.

$350 MSRP, $1000 retail

My money has been ready for an upgrade for 6 months now, not just for my GPU, but other components. I haven't upgraded for one reason, scalping prices, I refuse to support greed in any shape or form, even if that means I will never upgrade. I will then just have to find another hobby, this is how new hobby's get invented too, I am sure I am not the only one currently on this thought process.

When Intel announced VRS (Variable Rate Shading) support pretty quickly when it became a thing, I was actually expecting them to do some sort of scaling solution with it - with the limited performance of iGPU having an option to run all shading at 1/4 performance would be an interesting feature.

DLSS/FSR are a pretty difficult thing to do correctly and Intel probably will not tackle that hurdle for now. They need to get GPUs working and out the door. Besides, AMD is talking about open and free solution so if that really will be the case, Intel will just adopt that one.

With what we know about Xe, this is not going to be a multi-GPU solution for graphics.

A MARKETING SPLASH SCREEN.

How fast is it running? 144 FPS? 300?

What's next, they'll tease the games you can't play on it? The circus is nothing compared to this, wtf.

I hope for a viable competitor. I fear their driver support.

I fear their first release date might cross over Armageddon at some undefined point in the future.

Player 3 in the GPU market is never an issue. Now all we need is for NVIDIA to start making CPUs :cool:

Intel teases too often, but they never show the goodies, I think they should consider opening a strip club.

Oh my God I can't even remember how long ago they started advertising and marketing their upcoming GPUs and they're still not done.

This has to be ironic, will they ever release these and just shut up already ?

I couldn't agree more.

Was thinking the same way... i would be not surprised if they are gonna release only next year.

My next project will be a fanless case with fanless components. Basically a low power mid range system. I5 with 75w gpu. Need a 1650 successor. Hopefully Intel will deliver one as I gave up on Nvidia this gen at least.

Let's hope it stands for Half Priced Graphics.
looking back to intel pricing history i doubt it... however if it will be half price(question is compared to what..) than performance will be also low... so garbage :laugh:

what is this fear based on? I dont think I ever heard of people have problems with intel's (integrated) graphics drivers before.

OK but desktop CPUs.
They are closer to that than you might think. Trying to buy ARM...
Remember the recent Apple M1? The bridge between x86 and ARM is getting built. Desktop CPU is slowly becoming a dated terminology.

I understand your point though. But the long term strategy is already moving in this direction.

And the long term stragety was aswell 15 years ago :).
