2020 Intel Xe GPU

It's probably just going to be a mid-range or entry level card though.

You might be surprised... Ice Lake's IGP is slightly faster than the Vega 10 in the 3700U. Designing a graphics core is the hard part; scaling up to a discrete GPU is fairly trivial. Of course Intel may ignore the consumer market to challenge NVIDIA in the insanely profitable compute segment.
 
Intel’s first Xe graphics card is officially ‘alive’ and coming for AMD and Nvidia

Hook’s ‘it’s alive’ Frankenstein reference could be quite apt in some ways, and not just because Halloween is almost upon us. Remember that we’ve previously heard Intel could be gunning for a slick implementation of multi-GPU, so stitching multiple graphics cards together – as it were – to make a more powerful monster gaming rig could be part of the strategy to defeat AMD and Nvidia.

maybe but AMD and NV have been working on a mcm gpu for years now
do you think Intel found the right "glue" first ?

Years of the CPUs not seeing huge development .. that R&D money was going somewhere. Maybe this was it?

1. I think if they had the glue they would have a answer for Ryzen first

2. if they do beat AMD's gpu's with Raja there it better not have any traces to AMD's work


3. that R&D money was going in someone pockets
 
Discrete gpu's for gaming revenue is important but future gpu revenue growth is going to come more-so from data center and ai revenue streams, imho. This is the bigger picture strategy for the gpu for the future and Intel wants or desires to be an important player here, imho.
 
Intel’s Xe-HP ‘High-Performance’ DG2 GPU Spotted – The Enthusiast & Workstation Competitor To AMD’s RDNA/CDNA & NVIDIA’s Ampere

In our most recent piece, we got to some more info on what the Xe-HP GPUs would look like. It looks like Intel's GPU design would be close to NVIDIA, at least visually, with several EUs being packed inside a single Tile. It is similar to how NVIDIA arranges several SM units within a GPC (Graphics Processing Cluster). Each Title would consist of 512 EUs and each EU will have 8 cores. Once again, the design of Intel Xe-HP and Xe-LP microarchitectures would be vastly different. It is stated that 512 EUs would be a single-tile GPU and Intel plans on offering up to 4-tile GPUs but I am not sure if that makes a whole lot of sense in the consumer space but it can work in workstation segments.

Here are the actual EU counts of Intel's various MCM-based Xe HP GPUs along with estimated core counts and TFLOPs:

Xe HP (12.5) 1-Tile GPU: 512 EU [Est: 4096 Cores, 12.2 TFLOPs assuming 1.5GHz, 150W]
Xe HP (12.5) 2-Tile GPU: 1024 EUs [Est: 8192 Cores, 20.48 assuming 1.25 GHz, TFLOPs, 300W]
Xe HP (12.5) 4-Tile GPU: 2048 EUs [Est: 16,384 Cores, 36 TFLOPs assuming 1.1 GHz, 400W/500W]

Regardless of where this goes or doesn't go, having a third player can't hurt imo. Lets just hope this won't be a repeat of 2009?
 
For netbooks and certain laptops, where watt efficiency and performance balance nay matter for a specific mobile segment.
