The top Intel graphics card of the Arc family with 512 computing units was lit up in the Geekbench benchmark, thanks to which some of its characteristics were confirmed and, of course, the performance became known. Alas, the device does not indulge in performance yet.
Back in September, it became known that Intel itself is considering the GeForce RTX 3070 (3070 Ti) and Radeon RX 6700 XT as the main competitors of its top-end video card. However, at the moment, the Xe-HPG DG2-512EU demonstrates performance at the level of the GeForce RTX 2060. In the OpenCL test, it gains 69 220 points, and in the GeForce RTX 2060 – 70 664 points. And although this test is very specific, Intel will still have to “find somewhere” at least 40% of the performance (the Radeon RX 6700 XT has about 100,000 points in the same test).
From the test, we find out that the GPU frequency is 2.1 GHz, and in general this correlates with reality. The maximum frequency will probably go up to 2.5 GHz. But the amount of memory is either determined incorrectly, or in the test instance Intel uses a little more memory than it will be in the final version – 8 or 12 GB. With a 256-bit bus and 14 GHz GDDR6 memory, the video card’s memory bandwidth should be on par with the Radeon RX 6800 XT / 6900 XT and GeForce RTX 3070.
The official premiere of Intel’s Arc graphics cards is expected next year – in the first or second quarter.
