Intel’s incoming gaming graphics card (known as Xe-HPG, meaning Xe high-performance gaming) has been spotted in a leaked benchmark which casts some further light on the kind of specs we might expect from the GPU.
The Geekbench result for an Xe Graphics product shows what looks like it’s the entry-level discrete desktop GPU, given that it has 128 Execution Units (EUs), the previously rumored loadout for the base-tier offering (remember, the existing Xe-LP GPUs top out at 96 EUs).
The faster clock speed of 2.2GHz with this purported sample chip would also point to it being a desktop model (rather than laptop-targeted Xe-HPG), and it was tested in a desktop PC with an Intel Core i5-11400T processor plus 16GB of DDR4-2133 RAM (in an Asus B560M-PLUS motherboard).
In theory then, this graphics card will have 128 EUs with 1,024 cores, plus 4GB of VRAM, and it’s currently clocked at 2.2GHz. As Wccftech, which highlighted the Geekbench score, points out, the last time this Xe GPU with 128 EUs was spotted it was clocked at 1.9GHz, so Intel is pushing forward nicely with ramping up the…
