Recent news frequently mentions Intel's discrete graphics processor, set to be released at the end of 2021, manufactured using 7nm technology, and integrated into the Ponte Vecchio compute accelerator. Meanwhile, the pioneer of a 'new era' in Intel's discrete graphics solutions should be regarded as the product with the simple designation DG1, of which the head of Intel reported the existence of samples this year. This entry-level graphics solution will be produced using 10nm technology and is expected to hit the market next year.
Some At the driver level, it has been confirmed that the DG1 belongs to the class of products with low energy consumption, as well as the presence of a common graphics architecture, Gen12, with mobile Tiger Lake processors. On the pages of the resource. One of the participants in the discussion familiar with Intel's plans is now sharing not-so-encouraging information about the future of the DG1 series products. To begin with, their performance level will not be far removed from the integrated graphics of the Tiger Lake processors — the gap will not exceed 23%, according to the source.
Secondly, the performance-to-power consumption ratio of the DG1 has not turned out to be the most successful. Some laptop manufacturers are already engaged in developing mobile PCs based on DG1 discrete graphics, but for Intel, this alliance does not bring tangible benefits, rather it offers valuable experience for the further expansion of discrete graphics. It is worth noting that at the architectural level, the Intel Xe graphics generation is expected to be unified across all segments in terms of performance. For example, a high-performance product of this generation is being developed at an Indian research center.
