Intel's high-end Xe desktop graphics card (codenamed DG2) could outperform Nvidia's RTX 2, if the latest gossip is to be judged. Le DG6 d'Intel a (à nouveau) été couvert par Law Is Dead de YouTuber Moore dans une grosse fuite qui a beaucoup de points intéressants à mâcher, ajoutant à ce que la loi de Moore a déjà dit dans le passed à propos de la Graphic card. According to common unconfirmed sources, as always treat this with a lot of skepticism, the Xe-HPG (high performance gaming) card will be built on TSMC's 7nm node (or could probably use an improved process of 6nm, as above). The flagship model is expected to have 275 execution units and run at clock speeds of up to 2GHz, with XNUMXGB of GDDRXNUMX video RAM onboard (and a XNUMX-bit memory bus). The TDP could do around XNUMXW, or maybe a bit less, but you should obviously take those specs, especially with a healthy dose of spices. In particular, the upcoming Moore's Law asserts that the performance achieved by this Xe graphics card must be between Nvidia's RTX XNUMX and XNUMX. In other words, it should be faster than the vanilla RTX XNUMX, and thus perhaps something in the approximate stage of the RTX XNUMX Ti (if and when this card shows up, apparently soon according to the latest speculation). Moore's Law has equated the DGXNUMX to the RTX XNUMX before, so, in any case, it now hints that the GPU could be even a little stronger (or rather, their sources are). This is obviously good news in terms of having a real contender for Nvidia and AMD, and not an incredible claim given the previously rumored specs. However, let us not get carried away by these hopes ...
DLSS opponent?
Another interesting detail here is the claim that Intel may be planning an equivalent to Nvidia's DLSS (remember that AMD has its rival technology in the form of FidelityFX Super Resolution). Intel could apparently start with `` XeSS '', but the leak is vague on that, and as Tom's Hardware, who saw it all, points out, it's going to be a huge demand for Intel to launch a DLSS challenger - and get support from the game developers. It's a pretty big job to get into the 2 horse GPU race and improve software in the form of graphics drivers as-is. Tom's notes that a possible solution for Intel could be to simply adopt AMD's super-resolution FidelityFX, as this is a carefully open source, so it could be viable, as long as AMD can master the technology and make it work properly. , naturally. Still, Intel may currently have vague plans for a DLSS challenger, but these may not materialize until much later, presumably when Intel has carved out a market share in the GPU arena and is in a position to to be a serious player, and therefore will have more weight. A release date for DG2 has also been hinted at, with Intel reportedly still targeting the end of the year (Q4) for the release of the high-end Xe graphics card. In his video, Moore's Law also gives us a glimpse of some footage of the presumed DG2 engineering sample (shown with 2 enthusiasts), which could be taken as further indication that progress is picking up nicely with the GPU, and perhaps some late gossip that the 2 release date might be coming. Naturally, a lot will depend not only on Intel's progress with DGXNUMX and associated drivers and software, but also on how the current chip shortage plays out. The truth is that there are many variables, really, to place too much hope in a given period. Today's best graphics card deals
