Quote:Over the past several months, Intel's Raja Koduri has been slowly revealing portions of the upcoming Xe Graphics architecture and lineup. The Xe family will span everything from low power integrated and entry level graphics solutions under the Xe LP Graphics brand, up through data center multi-chip solutions with die stacking. The latter is we're talking about.
As discussed last week, Intel's Xe HP Graphics will come in three variants. The base model, which has been shown several times, has a single tile with 512 EUs (Execution Units) and most likely two HMB2e stacks. Intel hasn't confirmed exact specs, but it did show performance scaling for a computational workload of the 1-tile, 2-tile, and 4-tile variants:
...
Lest anyone doubt that the 4-tile GPU doesn't actually exist and is merely a publicity stunt, Raja whipped out the large package and briefly flashed it at the camera during his Hot Chips presentation. And yes, it's really big — much bigger than any other chip package we've seen.
Whether the 4-tile Xe HP will ever be put into production, or if it's merely a test product while Intel prepares Xe HPC, aka Ponte Vecchio, is a different matter.
