Intel is raising the Xe-HPG game graphics card on Twitter

Intel’s long-awaited entry into the gaming graphics card market is creeping ever closer. Exact details are so far shrouded in obscurity, but early rumors point to gaming performance on par with cards such as the Geforce RTX 3070 and production at TSMC at 6 nanometers. Now the company turns out to be prepared to sow the first seeds hype ahead of the launch of the Xe-HPG product line.

As true Americans, Intel takes to Twitter for a preliminary teaservideo, which shows an Xe-LP circuit undergoing some kind of radiation-based assault to grow up and become an Xe-HPG circuit. The video itself also hides a hidden treasure hunt, where details have been dissected by clairvoyant enthusiasts around the world – where a revealed IP address rose 35.160.237.208, a landing page asking users to return on March 26 with a “secret code”.

Wccftech also reports other details in the video that have been deciphered, including the coordinates 43.0823N and 79.0731W. These coordinates lead to the American side of the world-famous Niagara Falls – a possible code name for the upcoming graphics circuit. Nearby is also a statue of Nikola Tesla, whose name adorns architectures from Nvidia, and the memorable one remembers that AMD’s graphics division has its roots in the Canadian company ATI.

Exactly when and in what form Intel chooses to launch Xe-HPG is unclear – but we will at least look forward to more teasers no later than March 26.
