It’s been more than 20 years since Intel released its last desktop graphics card, the Intel740, but as of yesterday the company is officially back in the discrete GPU game.

Intel teamed up with Asus and a few other graphics cards partners to release its Iris Xe desktop GPUs for system builders who want to include the new card in their prebuilt PCs. The cards look a lot different from the prototype Intel showed off at CES 2020, especially the ones being provided from manufacturers other than Asus.
These new cards, originally codenamed DG1, are part of Intel’s Iris Xe graphics family, which power the 11th-gen Tiger Lake processors. The company has planned for a while time to release multiple desktop solutions, but Intel is still working on its Xe-HPG architecture, which will power the company’s future gaming GPUs and ideally rival Nvidia and AMD.
Intel has announced that partners have released the first Iris Xe desktop PC graphics cards. Manufacturing partners include Asus and Colorful but are only going to be available for OEMs and systems integrators who are expected to use these in mainstream and business PCs. These PCIe 4.0 cards are based upon the Xe-LP architecture, like the iGPUs in the Tiger Lake family, and are optimised for economy and efficiency. Intel isn t going to address the PC gaming market until Xe-HPG arrives.
According to Intel the new graphics cards offer a compelling upgrade to existing options in the market segment . It reasons that these 25-30W GPUs with 80 EUs and 4GB on board offer an attractive array of outputs, hardware video decode and encode acceleration, including AV1 decode support, Adaptive Sync, Display HDR support, and artificial intelligence capabilities thanks to DP4a deep-learning inference acceleration.
