This move forward, indiscretion relaunched by the IT Home site a this address, would be justified by the will of complete the driver development work and in this way allow the new Intel video cards for desktop systems to be immediately competitive in the eyes of end consumers. In fact, it is well known that in the creation of a video card the work on the hardware architecture must always be accompanied by constant optimization work on the driver side, so as to make the most of the peculiarities of the card ensuring compatibility with all titles.

It is also expected that Intel may introduce on the market two versions of DG2 card intended for gamers, with a mid and medium-high range positioning but not yet top of the range.

The second proposal will see the presence of 384 Execution Units inside the GPU, paired with 12GB of video memory with an expected level of performance similar to that of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3060Ti cards.
