Intelligence “Lac des Météores” pour lancer Xe-LPG iGPU et Crestmont E-cores

Le cœur de nouvelle génération d'Intel “Lac des Météores” processeurs lancera la nouvelle architecture graphique Xe-LPG pour son iGPU. Un successeur de l'architecture Xe-LP alimentant les iGPU depuis le 11th Gen Core “Lac Tigre,” the Xe-LPG graphics architecture is tailored for small-scale GPU designs such as iGPUs. It sheds much of the bulk that the Xe-HPG has, which is optimized for discrete GPU designs. A leaked block diagram of “Lac des Météores” describes Xe-LPG as featuring a new “extended gaming mode,” new Adaptix power sharing, which is probably a power-management optimization that prioritizes power share to the iGPU; and even more media encode acceleration capabilities.

The Core “Lac des Météores” compute tile will also feature the latest Gaussian Network Accelerator, GNA 3.5, which speeds up AI deep-learning neural net building and training. The chip features a purpose-build VPU (visual processing unit), similar to the ones in mobile SoCs, which improves the device’s ability to recognize faces, or even augmented-reality applications. Enfin, avec “Lac des Météores,” Intel is debuting the new “Crestmont” E-core clusters that introduce an IPC improvement over the “Gracemont” E-cores powering “Lac des Aulnes” et “Lac des rapaces.”
