For some reason even a handful of newer monitors have DisplayPort and only HDMI 2.0, at least the reasonably priced ones I looked at. The PC space really dragging their feet to get on HDMI 2.1.

No Gen12 part supports HDMI 2.1 for some reason.
Because Intel says it's optional. Their own discrete options have IIRC been confirmed for HDMI 2.1.

But A380 is a baby DG2 and it has no HDMI 2.1 proper.
Same as Alder Lake, they share their display cores iirc.
Intel Arc A580 Hits AotS Benchmark Database, Roughly Matches RTX 3050
Intel Arc A580 is an upcoming entry-mainstream desktop graphics card based on the Xe-HPG "Alchemist" graphics architecture, and positioned between the A380 and A750. Based on the larger 6 nm DG2-512 silicon than the one powering the A380, the A580 is endowed with 16 Xe Cores, or double the SIMD...
Here's an interesting thread started by a former Intel employee with some neat insights ...
He concludes that driver quality is tied to hardware design ...
Intel HW arguably doesn't start off with the best binding model so they're already at a disadvantage. They make a strange tradeoff between register pressure and SIMD lane widths rather than register pressure and occupancy as is the case with others which is why they have issues with games assuming that their shaders will run with a specific SIMD lane width of 32 hence the software/driver interaction issues. Amusingly, they also recommend to avoid anisotropic filtering on sRGB textures which happens in just about every game!

The last paragraph is just my explanation as to why Intel HW is not a sane design. Only relation to the thread I mentioned is that lesser hardware design necessitates inferior driver quality ...
Intel Details Ponte Vecchio GPU & Sapphire Rapids HBM Performance, Up To 2.5x Faster Than NVIDIA A100
During Hot Chips 34, Intel once again detailed its Ponte Vecchio GPUs running on a Sapphire Rapids HBM server platform.

Steve at GN seems a whole lot more optimistic than me about Intel's drivers, and I really hope he's right and I'm wrong.

Once the XeSS SDK is out, it would be nice if someone did a proper algorithm comparison with some open source demo, instead of games made with embedded developers and outright payola.
Say 16K downscaled to 4K as gold standard reference and 1920*1080 upscaled with XeSS, FSR 2 and DLSS 2 to 4K. Then some video and frame comparison, plus VMAF perceptual quality metric relative to the gold standard for some objective measure.

I forgot that they mentioned dp4a has a different quality to the xmx version.
In video they specifically say it uses a different neural net.
So will be interesting to see the actual difference in IQ as well as the expected performance difference.
So would be interesting to see how they both compare at different resolutions from 720p upto 4k, as well as to the competition.

Intel Arc A380 im Benchmark-Test mit 35 Spielen: Ist der Treiber nun reif für die großen Kaliber A750 und A770?
Welche Bildraten erreicht die Intel Arc A380? PCGH hat es mit einem frischen Treiber in 35 Spielen geprüft - inklusive Raytracing-Analyse.
Intel Arc will soon deliver 'a card that's faster than the [RTX] 3060 at prices that are lower'
For DX12 and Vulkan games, at least.
Intel hits out at RTX: 'We're definitely competitive or better than Nvidia with ray tracing hardware'
Is Intel set to beat Nvidia at its own game? At least for the time being, possibly.

Let them come, driving prices even lower than they already do.
