As for the rest of their specs, details are still thin on the ground at the moment. They'll also have 80 execution units (Intel's equivalent of Nvidia's CUDA cores and AMD's stream processors), which is actually a little bit below the top 96 EU spec that Intel previously outlined as part of their over-arching Xe-LP (or low power) micro architecture. It looks to be a fairly modest launch all round, as Intel say their first pair of Iris Xe graphics cards will come with just 4GB of memory, putting them very much at the lower-end of the graphics card spectrum. It's not yet clear whether we'll see more manufacturers launch their own Iris Xe cards in the coming months, but given the current shortages of PC hardware in general right now, it's hardly surprising that Intel are starting off small rather making a big splash. So far, two models have been confirmed: the one shown up top there, which has been made by Asus, and another altogether bluer version pictured below made by Colorful. Outwardly, they look quite different from Intel's first prototype. Back then, it was Intel's DG1 prototype that took centre stage, and today's initial crop of Iris Xe graphics cards are based off that very same design. I've been looking forward to the launch of Intel's Xe GPUs ever since we got our first glimpse of them at CES 2020. While they won't be available to buy as standalone GPUs, Intel have announced that they've finally started shipping them to system builders worldwide for use in entry-level desktop PCs. Intel's first batch of Xe graphics cards are here at last.
