10nm ++ process, 4-core GPU with HBM2E memory: Intel Arctic Sound high-end graphics card details exposed

Since Intel publicly announced its entry into the high-performance GPU market in the past two years, rumors of Intel graphics cards have skyrocketed. More and more have been circulating in the past six months. It is certain that Intel ’s GPU has multiple projects, including nuclear display and low-end Going to high-end desktops, then to data centers, now the high-end graphics card codenamed Arctic Sound is also bursting into details, and will use 10nm ++ process and multi-core packaging, HBM2E video memory.

Before talking about the Arctic Sound graphics card, we first have Intel's exposed GPUs. They will all use the new Xe architecture, but the models and positioning are different.

    Gen12 nuclear display, the earliest released high-performance GPU will be nuclear display, mainly used for Tiger12 processor Gen12, 10nm + process, integrated 96 EU units, floating point performance doubled compared to Gen11, is expected to reach 2TFLOPS.

    DG1 is a stand-alone display. This is a low-power stand-alone display. Within TDP 75W, it integrates 768 EU units, 10nm + technology, and the upper and lower performance limits fluctuate greatly. It is mainly based on power consumption, because it is mainly used for desktops. With a notebook, the expected maximum performance is at GTX 1050 level.

    Ponte Vecchio alone showed that it was announced in November last year and is mainly used in the data center market. Intel's own 7nm process production can expand up to 1000 EU units.

    DG2 alone was revealed. It was only recently exposed. It is expected to be released in 2022, with 128-512 EU units, but it is rumored that it will use TSMC's 7nm process foundry.

There are 4 main Xe graphics cards above, of which 1 is a nuclear display and 3 are independent displays. The Arctic Sound graphics cards that are now exposed are different from them. This code name has been rumored for a long time. There is no specific information before. Adoredtv is exclusive today. Exposes the main specifications of this graphics card.
According to them, the Arctic Sound graphics card was originally designed for streaming applications. It was almost completed in previous years, but customers did not think such an accelerator was needed. After Raja Koduri joined Intel, this project was transformed by him. The principle of not being wasted, Arctic Sound graphics card has become a general-purpose GPU.

However, the Arctic Sound graphics card will use a multi-chip package, integrating 4 GPU chips, each chip area is about 150mm, a total of about 600mm2, and is equipped with HBM2E memory, this point is destined to Arctic Sound graphics card is not low, performance It will not be worse, the main focus is the high-end GPU market.

More importantly, the Arctic Sound graphics card will be produced using the 10nm ++ process, which means that it will not be released this year, at least 2021. Don't worry about it conflicting with Intel's Ponte Vecchio alone. The specifications and positioning of the two Nor is it a level.
