Intel also published some of its early,
unconfirmed data about how well the Iris Xe
Max will compete with Nvidia’s GeForce MX
series in gaming.
Intel confirmed that, beginning in 2021, it
will begin shipping DG2, the code name for
the “Xe HPG” product designed for gaming
PCs. There’s an unexpected addition: Intel
said Saturday that it will be bringing the less
powerful Xe LP graphics found within Tiger
Lake to value desktop PCs in the first half of
2021, as a discrete graphics solution.HOW IRIS XE MAX SHARES
POWER BETWEEN THE CPU
AND GPU
The message behind the Iris Xe Max is simple:
Buy a notebook with an Intel Tiger Lake CPU
(go.pcworld.com/11tg) and a discrete Iris Xe
Max GPU chip, and you’ll receive more than
the sum of its parts. Intel takes advantage of
these two nearly identical pieces of silicon
sitting alongside one another, and ties them
together through a common software
framework, Moss said. (Physically, one
connects to the other via a x4 PCI Express 4.
