Intel Teases Xe HPG Graphics Architecture

[btarunr]

On the sidelines of its 2021 International Supercomputing Conference announcements that mostly covered the HPC-relevant portions of the company's Xe scalar compute architecture, the company also put out a couple of nuggets on Xe HPG, the gaming-grade consumer graphics architecture by Intel, which is expected to power graphics cards capable of AAA gaming at high resolutions. Without mentioning dates, the company announced that Xe HPG will see the light of the day soon.

It's a long march for Intel to break into the gaming graphics card business, and Intel is calling this project "Odyssey." A select few (Intel employees, ISVs, hardware partners, etc.,), have access to greater information and merchandise, as they hold the "Odyssey Card." The company called for them to "redeem" this card for the goodies. "We are soon heading toward a milestone moment, the pending release of the Xe HPG microarchitecture from Intel. Some of you received an Odyssey card and were the first to engage with Intel on this journey. Now is the time to redeem this card, which is one in many steps we hope to formally take forward with you. We have a few required fields here to confirm you have received a card from us," stated Intel.

Pretentious

wow Intel teases graphics? no way, unheard off!

honestly when do technews outlets come together and decide to not be part of this rediculously pathetic free hype machine?

What if they actually have something worth spouting off about............................

 

[Flanker]

Price? Date? Power consumption?

Price? Date? Power consumption?

Too much, Never, Too high

Doesnt matter for first try, we need 3rd dGPU player.

If they actually release the card I hope they don't forget to give proper driver support for Linux since that's the way I'm going forward, also Intel giving more driver support for gaming in Linux might be a good start to gain market share befitting the name of this project "Odyssey". You need to seriously consider it Raja.

Classic Raja.

Doubt they ever release a card, all they do is tease.

Well, actually it does. It needs to be able to compete in order to make people want to consider it. Otherwise no one will buy it other than OEMs.

I don't see it as that big of a deal. OEMs are the big part of PC sales. We are just a small percentage.

Intel already is a dominating force in OEM iGPUs. It would be nice if it performed well enough to give them more market share with us though yes.

Yes, but Koduri in Intel will make it happen, eventually. Should I put "first try" and "third player" in bold?

Odyssey Swag, heh. Stop with the cringe marketing, and show us what you got.

You're putting a lot of faith in Koduri's ability to enable Intel to leapfrog companies that have been doing this for a long time. There are a lot of reasons why this could fall short of expectations. Regardless of being a first try or a third player, people still won't buy it if it's not worth it compared to what it competes with. If it's not the best and it's not the best for the price, there is little justification to buy it. I prefer to wait and see and not blindly expecting this to be a win for Intel.

The more the merrier.

Bleeding hell, they been teasing it so long and often I'm totes over it pre release, go Intel, O was genuinely excited about half a year ago.
Couldn't give a shit tbh, as with every GPU out now , yawn, Nnnnnexxxt.
