Raja Koduri Says Intel DG2s Will Come This Year
Intel DG2 graphics cards will hit the market this year, according to Raja Koduri on social networks
This year has started quite strong for Intel, after announcing a change of CEO. In addition, this year there will be great movement by the company seeking to make up for lost time. Raja Koduri, the man with the most weight at Intel after the CEO of the company, has indicated a date for the launch of the Intel DG2. It will be the company's first dedicated gaming graphics card, which must compete with AMD and NVIDIA.

Raja Koduri Says Intel DG2 Will Launch Later This Year
The Intel DG2 is based on TSMC's 6nm lithography, an improved version of the 7nm node used in the Ryzen. This graphics card is based on the Xe HPG architecture. One of the most important features is that it supports RayTracing natively. What we don't know is the performance of this graphics card.
Some new graphics cards that will be destined for the desktop computer market. Something we know thanks to Raja Koduri having responded to engineer Jeremy Soller on Twitter. Note that Soller has made a thread stating with argument that it is expected of Intel graphics.
Indicate that the Intel DG2 would come in two variants. One version would have 4096 Shaders (512EU) and 8GB GDDR6, and the other version would have 1024 Shaders (128EU) and 6GB GDDR6. Theoretically, both graphics cards will have support for RayTracing technology.
As discussed, these charts will move between $ 400 and $ 600. This puts them in direct competition with the NVIDIA RTX 3060, RTX 3070, and AMD RX 6800.
Something very interesting that Soller highlights is that Intel would not have supply problems. Also, it indicates that oneAPI is open source. It also indicates that the standard in Linux is NVIDIA + CUDA, but with the new Intel DG2, things could change.
Soller also indicates that Tiger Lake is manufactured by Intel in 10nm and that the Intel DG2s will be manufactured by TSMC in 6nm EUV. This would be a success, since there would be no stock problems for processors and graphics.

Koduri talks openly about new GPUs
[irp]GPUs are one of the most complicated chips to manufacture, they are a set of subsystems that interact with each other, some synchronized and others desynchronized. And the software to support APIs and languages with compilation and performance make it even more complicated.
Achieving performance and planning goals with a small margin of error takes extraordinary effort and coordination among many teams and thousands of engineers. This is one of the reasons I think we haven't released a GPU in 2 decades.
