Intel’s Raja Koduri Teases Xe HPG Enthusiast Gaming Graphics Cards In Action Within 3DMark Mesh Shader Test, Launch Imminent? Intel's Senior Vice President, Raja Koduri, has been dropping some major bombs on his
Twitter feed for a while now. The most recent one being the
Xe HPC chip shot which is an engineering marvel but it looks like Raja has switched gears and now dropped a teaser of Intel's first gaming discrete graphics cards, the Xe HPG.
Intel Teases Xe HPG Enthusiast Gaming Graphics Cards, Running 3DMark's Upcoming Mash Shader Feature
It's been some time since we last heard about Intel's Xe HPG (High-Performance Gaming) discrete GPUs or graphics cards. Intel's main focus has been Xe-LP and they also dive in deeper within the tech that Xe HPC has to offer considering it's their biggest chip design to date and the flagship Xe product. But the Xe HPG is where the gaming community is more focused at and we have got the first teaser of Intel's discrete graphics cards based on the HPG GPUs running in action.
The teaser from Raja shows an undisclosed Intel Xe HPG GPU based discrete graphics card running the UL 3DMark Mesh Shader Feature test. This test is coming out soon and will be integrated within the 3DMark test suite. Mesh Shader is one of the major features introduced within DirectX 12 Ultimate API back in 2020. The feature is supported by NVIDIA's Turing, Ampere, and AMD's RDNA 2 graphics architectures. Based on this tweet, Intel will also be adding Mesh Shaders support on its Xe-HPG class discrete GPUs.
