At Architecture Day 2020, led by Raja Kodrui, Intel announced that it had not forgotten the gaming community and revealed a brand new architecture designed for gaming: Intel Xe HPG. An acronym for Xe High Performance (Architecture) for Gaming, HPG will ship next year in 2021 and will feature GDDR6 memory and a single tile of HPG. While Intel did not confirm the tile count in the presentation we asked Raja Koduri in the Q&A and he was able to give us a big hint that confirms the tile specifications.

While Xe HP and HPC utilize HBM memory, Intel wants its HPG branding to be more budget-friendly since its targetted dead center at gamers. This is why the architecture is equipped with GDDR6 memory. Now while the company was very tight-lipped about the architecture they did confirm that the GPU will feature hardware dedicated ray-tracing support and will be coming sometime in 2021.
