Xe DG1: specs and benchmarks
Summary
Intel started Xe DG1 sales on 2020. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Generation 12.1 architecture and made with 10 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 4 GB of LPDDR4X memory clocked at 4.3 GB/s are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 68.26 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a dual-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 164 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 30 Watt.
