對玩家來說是件好事情,但產品要推出市場還有得等。

在接受媒體 HardwareLuxx 訪問時確認,Intel 證實 Xe 架構將會區分為獨立顯示卡與內建顯示(iGPU)等 2 種方案。

Tom Petersen 這位 Intel Fellow 在接受 HardwareLuxx 訪問時提到,接下來 Intel Xe 架構將會有 LPG 與 HPG 產品,而這個決定主要是 Intel 認為必須對這兩個不同市場需求的產品進行差異化與優化所致。

目前,代號 Alchemist 的 Intel Xe 架構已經有 HPC(Data Center)、LP(Low Power)與 HPG(Gaming)等應用產品。

另一方面,Tom Petersen 也確認代號為「Battlemage」架構的 Intel Xe2 產品將會有 LPG 與 HPG 產品線,而這些產品將會針對 iGPU 或者是獨立顯示卡進行優化。

There is a Xe and there is a Xe 2 and in that Xe 2 generation there is a Xe-LPG and there is a HPG (…) and there a slight variations (…) which is our big learning. The idea was we needed to optimize for each segment and build separate chips and do separate verifications. And I think now the real learning is we would be better off concentrating our focus and really thinking of it like a really solidly, hard IP business.

But it’s a tough thing, because if you know that your are going into the data center, you know that you are going desktop discrete and you know you are going be integrated – they all have slightly different ways to optimize. And that’s what we’ve done a much much better job going forward. We are learning to refrain from overly customizing IP because that proliferates QA and verification and really bloats the work to be done.

此外,從過去的資訊我們可以知道 Intel Meteor Lake 在 Performance Cores(P-Cores)與 Efficient Core(E-Cores)分別會採用 Redwood Cove 和 Crestmont 處理器架構,以及 Xe-LPG GPU 架構。對於 Intel 處理器來說,這將會是一個相當大的轉變。

至於 Xe2-LPG GPU 架構很大的可能會是用在 Lunar Lake。

加入 Intel Xe GPU 架構會讓人相當開心,這有助於拉近與 AMD Ryzen 處理器的 iGPU 表現,但實際上是否能滿足消費者需求,還有待後續觀察。.
