Leaked pictures are cool … but in this particular case, it’s NOT. These are just poor images slapped together.
Taken fromTPU… We have recently received pictures of any early engineering sample of Intel’s upcoming DG2 GPU from YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead. The card features 512 Execution Units and will be the flagship model for Intel’s upcoming Xe-HPG lineup reportedly targeting performance between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080. The final product is rumored to feature a base clock of 2.2 GHz along with 16 GB GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit bus. The sample has a TDP of 275 W with 8 + 6 pin power connectors up from original targets of 225 W – 250 W.
The report also notes that Intel is still deciding between three cooler designs with the finished card potentially featuring a white shroud. Intel also appears to be working on a NVIDIA DLSS/AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution competitor codenamed XeSS which confirms support for hardware-accelerated raytracing and resolution upscaling tech. The card is unlikely to launch until Q4 2021 with wider availability in 2022, lower end 128 EU, and 256 EU cards will follow shortly afterward. The full report can be viewed below.
