Intel’s first dedicated graphics card for desktop will soon pop up in the market as part of pre-built systems that customers can buy. Chipmaker has announced that it has officially launched Iris Z Descript Desktop graphics cards, which it developed with partners including Asus. Intel first gave us a glimpse of the graphics chip – called “DG1” during development – at CES 2020. In October last year, the first laptop with Iris Zax Max graphics chips went on sale.
Now, it is also rolling out a dedicated Xe GPU for desktop ops, though customers can’t buy it to build their own rig. Intel is chipping out manufacturers for pre-built PCs for small and medium enterprises, as well as mainstream users. Like AnandTech Of note, the DG1 Disrupt GPU is based on Tiger Lake’s integrated GPU with almost the same specifications – the desktop version also has slightly less specs than its laptop counterpart.
