Some specifications of the upcoming Intel Xe-HPG (DG2) GPUs are leaked: Up to 4096 cores and 16GB of VRAM

We keep getting leaks about Intel's new graphics cards, the Xe-HPG (DG2), which we now know will come in 6 models with different specs, look.

As always, let's start with the most interesting of all, the flagship GPU that, according to the rumors, will have 4096 cores (512 EU), and will be offered in configurations of 8GB / 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM memory, along with a memory interface of 256 bits. We had already seen this model before, but at the time only the number of cores was indicated, ignoring the rest of the specifications.

512 EU (4096 SP) / 256bit-bus / 8 or 16G VRAM
384 EU (3072 SP) / 192bit-bus / 6 or 12G VRAM
256 EU (2048 SP) / 128bit-bus / 4 or 8G VRAM
192 EU (1536 SP) / 128bit-bus / 4G VRAM
128 EU (1024 SP) / 64bit-bus / 4G VRAM
96 EU (768 SP) / 64bit-bus / 4G VRAM

As we can see, there will be five more graphics cards, offering 3072 cores with 6GB / 12GB on a 192-bit bus; 2048 cores with 4GB / 8GB on a 128-bit bus; 1536 cores with 4 GB of VRAM also on a 128-bit bus; 1024 cores with 4 GB on a 64-bit memory interface and finally 768 cores with 4GB on a 64-bit bus.

By way of comparison, the dedicated Intel Iris Xe MAX GPU, for notebooks, has a 128-bit memory bus, although it uses LPDDR4X memory and of these latest graphics we still do not know what memory they will use.

We are getting to know more and more Intel Xe-HPG GPUs. Will they compete with NVIDIA and AMD?
