Monstrous 500W Intel Xe MCM Flagship GPU Leaked In Internal Documents – 4 Xe Tiles Stacked Using Foveros 3D Packaging

What is probably the biggest leak in the (admittedly short) history of the Xe GPU has just occurred. The good folks over at DigitalTrends managed to get their hands on some internal presentations by the Intel GPU design team and it confirms what we have long suspected: Intel is taking a leaf out of AMD's book and working on an MCM based graphics card. In the documents also lurks an absolute monstrosity: a graphics card with 4 seperate tiles drawing up to 500W!
Intel has been keeping a fairly low profile on its Xe GPU efforts - making no bold claims and only revealing things here and there. That might no longer be an option for the company considering what is probably the mother of all leaks just spilled from an unlikely source. The documents obtained by DT show that the company is not only working on building up its SDV and DG1 proof of concept GPUs but aims to bring the Zen philosophy to GPUs. I am talking Multi-Chip-Modules and a graphics card constructed with not one but multiple dies on the package. AMD has yet to embrace MCM for its GPU side of things and it looks like Intel might actually beat it there.
