Last week, mlid posted a nude Die image of Intel ARC graphics cards, including the big one DG2 SOC1 (512 EU) and the small one DG2 SOC2 (128 EU).
Subsequently, the Great God Locunza_ estimated the GPU area, of which DG2 SOC1 is roughly 396 square millimeters.
This is interesting, in terms of GPU area alone, and NVIDIA GA104 is almost the same, GA104 is currently used for NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti/3070/3070 Ti graphics cards.
Intriguingly, the Intel ARC graphics card max (512 EU) is rumored to be the RTX 3070 TI/3070.
Considering that arc graphics cards use a relatively more advanced 6nm process than NVIDIA Ampere, that is, more transistors can be accommodated in the same area, even if intel's core unit graphics efficiency is not only CUDA, at least it is possible to make up for it by scale.
At the just-concluded TGA conference, Intel once again confirmed that ARC solo will appear in the first quarter, and it is a "cosmic-level" positioning covering notebooks, desktops and workstations.
