Intel has chosen a newly enhanced version of TSMC's 7nm production process for its upcoming Xe-based DG2 gaming card. So, says Reuters in a report which pegs the release date for the new GPU as later this year or early 2022.

One thing is for sure, TSMC will be real busy for a while ! 

I am also wondering whether Intel will actually release a 2-tile Xe consumer GPU in 2021, though the 4-tile is unlikely for consumers this year, IMO. Below is a little tile collage >  of recent "news" stories - best taken in with salt - on this complementing the original post above...and also per earlier threads on Intel Xe, it would be sooooo nice if there will be a 3rd real competitor for higher-end GPUs. Hopefully, it won't be an 'out-of-stock, out-of-stock, out-of-stock' launch...

TSMC this year certainly are not looking for work.

 

It would be great if Intel can be a true competitor to try and bring prices back to a better level....not to mention stock with a GPU you can actually get your hands on !

The more the merrier. Intel gpu's should kick ass. Would be fun running an Intel gpu with my AMD cpu. LOL 

 

So when are Cyrix launching a gpu?

Speaking of Cyrix, let's get some of that 3DFX Voodoo series rebooted.
