NVIDIA could have stolen the headlines with a new rumor of some pretty crazy GeForce RTX 3080 Ti specs, but now Intel is getting in on the fun and pushing AMD out of the way with some news from Xe-HP.
It’s just 24 hours since the official Intel Graphics team tweeted some photos, but the tweet was quickly removed. Not because it showed something important where Intel attorneys told them to quickly delete the tweet because it showed something they shouldn’t, but that Intel was criticized for the misuse of facial masks by Intel staff like Raja Koduri and Jim Keller.
But don’t worry, nothing is forever with the Internet because I took a screenshot. Here you can see the original tweet from the official Twitter account Intel Graphics.
In one photo, we have Jim Keller, who is Intel’s senior vice president of technology, systems architecture, and customer group, as well as Silicon Engineering’s general manager. Keller is with Raja Koduri, who is the former head of the Radeon Technologies Group and new senior vice president, chief architect, general manager of Architecture, Graphics and Software at Intel.
Below are some higher-resolution photos of the gigantic Xe-HP GPU.
Another photo sparked a mysterious new package that is absolutely mammoth, estimated at 3700mm2 – below, we should expect a multi chip (MCM) design similar to AMD’s chiplet design.
Koduri retweeted the photo and added “baap of all“is back”, battlefield and floatation-b. What does “baap” mean, well in hindi it means “Father of allSo this image is sparking the next generation of Intel “Father of All” which is their next Xe-HP GPU.
Intel just made fun of the father of all next-gen GPUs, and it’s a Goliath.
Ultimate koduri joked with the GPU “mother of all” in December 2019, with the new high-performance Xe GPU as “the largest silicon designed in India and one of the largest anywhere,” Koduri proclaimed at the time.
Another note from this is that Xe-HP is a cloud GPU, media transcoding and workstation so we might expect a competitor to the NVIDIA Quadro and AMD Radeon Pro families of professional graphics cards.
Intel seems to be positioning itself to really enable Xe will be the only GPU architecture to rule them all.
It’s been an exciting few days for monolithic, multi-chip module (MCM) graphics cards, with a super-hot buzz about some awesome specs for NVIDIA’s upcoming Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. It mocked a new GA100 GPU with 8192 CUDA cores, 256 RT cores, 1024 Tensor cores, and 16 Gbps GDDR6. Wow.
