Intel is getting deadly serious about its GPU ambitions, and the company has announced at ISC 2021 that the Xe HPG platform, previously known as DG2, is now sampling to partners. This is a huge milestone since it means that not only has the design and prototyping been finalized but the company is getting into the final leg of the journey: sampling and production. This also means that gamers will likely see the first Intel discrete graphics card in 6 months' time - likely at CES 2022.

Last week, Intel, restructured the company to put graphics front and center and created a new business unit, the Accelerated Computer Systems and Graphics (ACSG) Group, lead by the Intel GPU Chief Raja Koduri. This is sort of the "Radeon" of Intel, although admittedly is much less sexy as far as names go, and goes on to show just how serious the company is in breaking the duopoly of NVIDIA and AMD (and turning it into a triopoly).
