Intel's DG2 graphics card is said to perform near the Geforce RTX 3070

Towards the end of the year, the new graphics card intended for games from Intel in the form of Xe-HPG will be available. The company has previously released the DG1 development card with 96 computing units (EU), which is basically a stationary variant of the integrated graphics part Xe-LP from the company’s mobile Tiger Lake processors. Xe-HPG instead has the code name DG2, and here there are significantly more calculation units on the wallpaper.

The specifications for the portable versions of Intel’s DG2 graphics circuit have already been leaked, and there are several different configurations with between 128 and 512 computing units. The level of performance of the new circuits is still shrouded in obscurity, but previous statements from the company’s graphics manager Raja Koduri have indicated that the more full-featured versions of the card may approach the same regions as Nvidia’s bestseller Geforce RTX 3070.

The previous performance data now gets more support from the constant Twitter leaker Tum Apisak (via Videocardz) which has unearthed new figures for a version of Intel DG2 with 448 computing units. According to Apisak, this configuration runs at 1.8 GHz and performs about 5 percent worse than the Geforce RTX 3070. If this information is correct, the full-featured version of the DG2 circuit with its 14 percent more computing units should be able to perform near a Geforce RTX 3070 Ti.

The post also shows figures for the scaled-down version of DG2 with 128 computing units, which performs 14 percent better than Nvidia’s entry board Geforce GTX 1650. While the leak does not reveal which game or performance test is used, there are many indications that it is 3DMark Fire Strike – this as the Radeon RX 6700 XT is claimed to perform 3 percent better than the Geforce RTX 3070, which is completely in line with the editorial staff’s own figures from that test.

Intel’s Xe-HPG with the DG2 graphics circuit under the hood will be launched towards the end of the year and will most likely first take place in laptops together with the company’s “Alder Lake” processors. After that, a rollout for desktops is expected.
