While it was something we anticipated, it is now official: Intel confirmed that its first discrete "DG1" graphics will not reach desktop PCs, They will only be available on laptops.
According to Intel's official announcement, being part of the low-power series, only “It will be used on laptops with the GPU integrated into the motherboard. The PCIe format is for the development kit only and not a product. "
In this way it is practically confirmed that during this year we will not see desktop products, and that we will have to wait until 2021 when DG2 arrives, which will be part of the HP line (High power). This line will target the most enthusiastic users, and could even count on Ray-Tracing for hardware, and all the other benefits of DirectX 12 Ultimate, seeking to compete against the latest from AMD and Nvidia.
What do you think about this news? Were you interested in seeing a version of Intel DG1 for desktop?
