Intel Shows Off Graphics Card Designs at GDC 2019
Intel reportedly unveiled some “early designs” of their upcoming discrete graphics playing cards at their GDC 2019 presentation. The graphics card within the first and 2nd slides they confirmed largely reassembles an Optane 905P SSD with a blower fan and a conspicuously quick PCB. While the Xe’s specs and efficiency ranges are nonetheless unknown, to me, the quick PCB means that Intel will use some sort of on-package reminiscence with their upcoming GPU, or a comparatively slender GDDR reminiscence bus on the very least. A shot of the again reveals a full backplate, in addition to three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port. Finally, the final slide exhibits a card with a fan proper on prime of the graphics chip, which is one thing I have not seen on a high-end reference card in a while.
Unfortunately, full specs are nonetheless not but out there for Intel’s upcoming graphics card. Real world efficiency is basically utterly unknown for now. As the yr goes on, there’s a good likelihood Intel might share some numbers given how keen the corporate is to make everybody conscious that they’ve a serious new product incoming.
