Intel Xe-HP "Neo" GPU Spotted & Benchmarked, 1-Tile Config With 4096 Cores

An Intel Xe-HP GPU codenamed, HD Graphics Neo, has been spotted within the Geekbench data-base along with its benchmarks. The fleck which is based on Intel'southward Gen 12 GPU architecture will aim at the Datacenter and AI market segment and launch sometime next yr. The benchmark & listing was spotted by TUM_APISAK (via Videocardz) and shows some interesting results.

Intel Xe-HP Architecture Powered Neo GPU For Datacenters Detailed In Terms of Specifications & Benchmarks

The Intel Xe-HP "Neo" GPU was tested on an Intel Whitley platform featuring its side by side-gen Ice Lake-SP processors. The processor itself features 2 cores with 24 cores and 48 threads each that sum upwards to 48 cores and 96 threads. The CPU base of operations clock was reported at iii.50 GHz along with thirty MB of L2 & 36 MB of L3 enshroud. The system too featured 128 GB of DDR4 (ECC) retentivity and was tested under Ubuntu 20.04.1 operating system.

The GPU specifications include 512 Compute Units or 4096 cores. Each Compute Unit on the Gen 12 GPUs consists of 8 cores. The GPU is based on a 1-Tile configuration which is the most entry-level SKU of the Intel Xe-HP lineup. The lineup goes all the style up to 2 and 4 Tiles which offering a total of 1024 CUs (8192 cores) and 2048 EUs (16,384 cores). The Xe-HP "Neo" GPU was running at clock speeds of 1.15 GHz and features half-dozen.36 GB of retentiveness though that could be rounded off to either 6 or 8 GB but nosotros don't know for sure.

The Neo GPU based on Intel's Gen 12 Xe-HP architecture has also been officially demoed during the Architecture Twenty-four hour period. The chip ran at college clock speeds of i.3 GHz and scored 10.five TFLOPs of FP32 compute performance in the scaling demo that was showcased. The 2-Tile GPU scored 21.1 TFLOPs of FP32 compute while the four-Tile GPU scored 42.0 TFLOPs of peak FP32 compute.

Intel showed almost-perfect scaling for its Xe-HP GPUs during the demo. Also from what I can run across here, Intel might be planning to name its Xe-HP GPU family every bit the "Neo" lineup for datacenters.

Every bit for performance, the Intel Xe-HP "Neo" GPU scored 25,475 points in the Geekbench OpenCL benchmark. The performance of the graphics card is not a friction match even with ane generation onetime graphics cards which indicates that the GPU is still not optimized in terms of driver support as we are looking at an early on sample clocked at a lower speed of just 1.xv GHz than the ones that even Intel showed which were running at one.three GHz in their test labs.

For now, it's interesting to see that the chips are being tested and will be fix to ship erstwhile in 2021. For gamers, Intel has their Xe-HPG lineup which nosotros have talked about more here.
