Intel Xe 'Arctic Sound' is seen with a TDP of 500W
Since the signing of Raja Koduri was certified by Intel, there has been a lot of talk about the company's graphics. Koduri's main mission is to develop graphics that compete with solutions from AMD and NVIDIA. So far we have known the DG1, a solution built into Intel 10nm processors based on Intel Xe architecture.
The Intel Xe DG1 has 96 Execution Units or 768 Shaders Processors with a TDP of 75W. This graphics card has been made for software developers, so they can adapt to this architecture. A graphics that will not reach the market, only to software developers, video games and the like, in order to polish games and tools.
[amazon box="B07S9M32FG"]Possible Intel Xe 'Arctic Sound' leak?
When we talk about leaks, we talk about unconfirmed data that sometimes know where it comes from. A few weeks ago there was talk of Intel's LGA1159 socket and AMD's TRX80, which turned out to be fake.
This new leak speaks of a 128 EU GPU (Execution Units) or 1024 Shaders with a TDP of 150W. Above we have the 256 EU or 2048 Shaders with a TDP of 300W. Finally, the most advanced model would be a 512 EU or 4096 Shaders graphic with a TDP between 400-500W.
The leak appears not to refer to commercial graphics, but to special solutions for Ponte Vecchio. As we can see there is a column that indicates 'Tiles', referring to a chiplet system. We can see that the 4-tile models have up to 500W of consumption and an input voltage of 48V. Graphics cards on the market cannot withstand these stresses.
There is also a column that indicates the 'Card FF' or form factor of the graphics card. We see that there are three models with a custom PCIe interface and four models with a standard PCIe interface. We will have to wait until Intel gives us data regarding these graphics and architecture.
