Intel has predicted that it will release its new DG2 monolithic, code-named "Alchemist", in the first quarter of next year.
And the official also announced the code names of its subsequent generations, namely Battlemage (Battle Mage), Celestial (Celestial), Druid (Druid).
Recently, Intel officially announced a test driver 30.0.101.9999 for the NUC Kit 11th generation, which mentioned a new graphics card code name "Elasti".
The name appeared as early as May this year, when it was confirmed to be the internal code name of the next generation of DG3 graphics cards, which corresponds to the Battlemage family.
And interestingly, this driver also appears in the future four generations of Core processors of the core display, namely the 13th generation of Rocket Lake-S (RPLS), the 14th generation of Meteor Lake (MTL), the 15th generation of Arrow Lake (ARL), the 16th generation of Luna Lake (LNL), and the device ID of their own multiple nuclear displays.
And according to Videocardz's revelations, in this test drive also exposed the name of the first generation of Arc Ruixuan, Alchemist will be simply abbreviated to A series, the same as the previous revelations.
The SYS file in the driver shows the name of the unreleased Intel Xe-HPG GPU, with 4 models, 2 belonging to desktops and 2 belonging to notebooks.
Intel (R) Arc (TM) A380 Graphics Family.
Intel (R) Arc (TM) A350 Graphics Family.
Intel (R) Arc (TM) A370M Graphics Family.
Intel (R) Arc (TM) A350M Graphics Family.
Intel (R) Iris (R) Xe A200M Graphics Family.
Among them, Arc A380 and Arc A350 are desktop versions, Arc A370M and Arc A350M are mobile versions, and Iris Xe A200M is a mobile version of the core display.
According to the news, arc A380 has appeared in non-public benchmarks, similar to the GTX 1650 SUPER, clock frequency of 2.45 GHz, equipped with 6GB GDDR6 video memory, may not be the flagship model, only 128 EU. In addition, the Arc A350 will have 96 EU with 4GB of GDDR6 video memory.
In addition, recently, the domestic graphics brand Lanji held the 2021 National Channel Summit in Shenzhen, and released the Lanji DG1 MAX INDEX graphics card, which is known as the only 96EU desktop graphics card (Intel DG1) in Chinese mainland.
It is reported that this graphics card is equipped with DG1 Max GPU, 1.2GHz-1.65GHz, equipped with 128bit 4GB LPDDR4X 4267 video memory, the interface includes HDMI, DVI and DP, support PCIe 4.0, PL1 (long-term operation) power consumption of 25W, PL2 (short-term operation) power consumption of 41W. From the parameter point of view, this graphics card should be equipped with Intel's first notebook Xe MAX GPU.
