News Intel Tapes Out First Xe-HPG 'DG2' GPU for Gamers

Well, I would say tape-out in the context that the author used it is indeed correct.
Tap-out is to concede.
 
With AMD 6000 series and Nvidia 3000 series being released soon, Intel will not be getting any of my GPU money this round, they are just too late to the party.
 
right now Intel is bringing up its Xe-HP graphics processors for datacenters that are made using its 10nm Enhanced SuperFin process technology and demonstrate performance of around 40 FP32 TFLOPS as well as an unknown Xe-HPG graphics processor.

RTX3080 is around 30 TFLOPS, innit?
 
This I'd be happy with a gpu competitor to virtual machine graphics for Vmware Horizons other than nvidia charging the crap out of people for licencing.
