Intel ‘Xe Unleashed’ GPU Lineup Leaked – Xe Power 2 Flagship Graphics Card, Roadmap And More

The mother of all leaks from Intel has just happened. Intel recently held a high profile “Xe Unleashed” event internally where the GPU leadership presented their finalized Xe methodology to Bob Swan and some other key people (I am told certain reps from certain AIBs like ASUS were also present) and needless to say, one of them thought we should know about it as well. We were able to get our hands on some presentation slides and even footage of the actual teaser! Know the pesky little “e” in Intel Xe? Well, it represents the number of GPUs.
Intel Xe philosophy believes that innovation needs to happen on 3 main fronts: process, microarchitecture and “e”. We are already familiar with the first two but ‘e’ is something that has not been successfully implemented so far. Sure there have been dual GPUs, but they all had to tradeoff some part of the functionality and never scaled linearly. Intel’s graphics team believes it has solved just that. With a brand new architectural approach (Xe) and a software layer (OneAPI) that can scale indiscriminately between any number of GPUs, it’s ready to remedy the years of neglect that ‘e’ has faced in the industry.
