Intel’s first 7nm Xe graphics cards
Back in November, Intel detailed its supercomputer desire with Ponte Vecchio — a 7nm GPU worked with the Intel Xe architecture. Presently, Intel’s maiden data center graphics card has shown up in pre-alpha structure, as per enlistment on the EEC, path in front of its 2021 release window.
The Ponte Vecchio RVP (reference approval stage) GPU is likely a long way from the Xe chip that will one day advance into the US Department of Energy’s Aurora supercomputer in 2021—controlled by Intel Xe, OneAPI, and Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPUs. It’s not yet conceivable to state what state Ponte Vecchio is in. All we know is that Intel’s purportedly working up to a “V5” rendition of the would-be GPU, and arrives in a natural structure factor as an included card.
