Intel ARC GPUs, Xe Architecture for dGPUs

So apparently GamersNexus decided it's ok to post a video filled with slides which show the NDA hasn't expired yet

 

Is it safe to assume he was not under NDA but got the slides through other leaks/means? Or did someone else start the leak so once it's already public they can talk about it?

 

VideoCardz leaked some stuff, haven't checked if it covers all the same as GN video, but VC watermarks their slides so at least GN isn't using them

 

It's already inside of bunch of other shims like Proton so probably?
I guess.

So could it run on a pair of Cadence Vision C5 matrix accelerators for a 720p output?

The slides say 6 a.m. Pacific of August 19. Wasn't that >1h ago?

 

August 19, 2021

 

Ha!
No, needs proper maff support.
But AMD will flay their WGP into a skinny ML acc only duty at a later date.

19m ago.

 

Oh, I misread it as pm, not am

 

Intresting and impressive at the same time. Another competitor in the popular pc gpu market aint a bad thing.

 

The pairing in the image is interesting.
Are they 8 wide or 16 wide in h/w?

In any case seems narrow for a modern GPU.

 

They're just 16EU subslices.
I.e. 128ALU per Xe Core.

 

So XeSS is confirmed to be cross-compatible with other GPUs, being able to run through DP4a, and it uses motion vectors like DLSS.
Great news.

Seems about what you'd expect from a 3070 level card.
Next year will certainly be interesting.

 

Great news for DLSS actually. Still dont know how Intel want to provide DP4a support without an API support.

 

From GN

 

Yes seems Intel's following in Nvidia's footsteps.

 

If it's SYCL then it will run on OpenCL/CUDA/OneAPI/whatever AMD has.

 

The vector unit has the same rate for FP32 and FP64 FMA op's, but double for FP16. Does that mean there is a separate FP64 pipeline alongside the FP32 one that probably serves the packed FP16?

 

I bet that's what the cracks did. Or something along those lines.
