Earlier, Intel released a video trailer for the Xe HPG. And many of the details hidden in it have also aroused the strong interest of netizens. In addition to the 79W power consumption value of the suspected GPU, Twitter user Andy James has found clues to the chip code name "Niagra Falls". Previously, many people also speculated whether the Xe HPG code name was "Goat Island".
For years, manufacturers have become accustomed to using public landmarks without copyright protection as design codes for chips. As mentioned earlier, both Goat Island and Niagra Falls are candidate references for Xe HPG.
Interestingly, sharp-eyed netizens found that the GPS coordinates pointed by the string of digital combinations seemed to have provided us with a vague clue.
Thanks to the figures shared by Andy James on Twitter, WCCFTech was able to locate itself further up the waterfall.
But after some thought, Usman Pirzada thinks the probability of Niagra Falls is much higher than the probability of Goat Island.
As for whether Intel's new CEO Pat Gelsinger will "mention it" at the Xeon Ice Lake-SP conference on March 23, or wait until another conference on March 26, it is not known.
