Performance can challenge RTX 3070? Intel DG2 alone uses 6nm EUV process

Today, Intel released the 50 variety of CPU processors, covers four major areas. Their GPU chips are also in progress. The first independent display DG1 is mainly used in notebooks, and the second independent display DG2 is likely to grab the RTX 3070 graphics card market.

DG2 alone will use Intel’s Xe HPG architecture developed for high-performance gaming, and it will also support ray tracing, which is not low in performance.

Not long ago, Intel’s graphics card driver leaked some of the specifications of the DG2 graphics card, and clearly mentioned two DG2 models, which were marked with 512 SKU and 128 SKU, which are naturally 512 units (4096 cores ) and 128 units (1024 cores ).

If it is 4096 computing units, how about such performance? Different architectures are not easy to compare directly, but the latest news from Reuters claims that the positioning of DG2 alone is a graphics card between 400 and 600 US dollars.

In terms of the upper limit, a graphics card priced at $ 600 is already a high-end level. The official recommended price of the RTX 3080 is $ 699, and the RTX 3070 graphics card is $ 499.

According to this revelation, the performance of DG2 alone can challenge the RTX 3070 level. Take a step back and say that the price of $ 400 is also the pricing level of the RTX 3060 graphics card.

In addition, the news said that the manufacturing process of the DG2 graphics card was given by TSMC's 6nm EUV process. This was also reported many times before. The possibility of outsourcing GPU chips is relatively high.

As for the time to market, DG2 graphics cards are expected to be released at the end of this year or early 2022.
