Intel integrated graphics5/28/2023 The increased frequency uplift means higher frequencies at the same voltages Iris+ could manage, as well. With greater dynamic range for voltage, Xe LP can operate at significantly lower power than Iris+ could-and it can also scale to higher frequencies. Intel still doesn't have a date for a desktop gaming (Xe HPG) card, but its executives expressed confidence in "market leading performance"-including onboard hardware raytracing-in that segment soon. When we asked again at Architecture Day 2020, the shyness was gone. When we asked Intel executives about that "gaming" slide in 2019, they seemed pretty noncommittal about it. We still haven't seen a desktop gaming card from Intel yet-but Xe has replaced both the old UHD line and its more-capable Iris+ replacement, and Intel's a lot more willing to talk about near-future expansion now than it was last year. The company wasn't really ready to talk about it then, but we spotted a slide in Intel's Supercomputing 2019 deck that mentioned plans to expand Xe architecture into workstation, gaming, and laptop product lines. We first got wind of Intel's plans to change that in 2019-but at the time, Intel was only really talking about its upcoming Xe GPU architecture in Ponte Vecchio, a product aimed at HPC supercomputing and datacenter use. It has been a long time since any third party really challenged the two-party lock on high-end graphics cards-for roughly 20 years, your only realistic high-performance GPU choices have been Nvidia or Radeon chipsets.
