The Intel Iris Xe DG1 is here with 4 GB of VRAM and a 30 W TDP, but only for OEMs

[Redaktion]

Intel has unveiled the Iris Xe desktop graphics card, better known by its codename of DG1. The Iris Xe Graphics has a 30 W TDP, 4 GB of VRAM and will only be available via OEMs. The Iris Xe DG1 will probably compete against NVIDIA's budget cards, such as the Pascal-based GeForce GT 1010.

GTX 1650 can be power limited down to 30W, it becomes so cool that can be cooled by just a thin aluminium or copper sheet. Would be interesting to compare 1650 at 30W vs this new Intel's GPU.

The Colorful model is fake.

An Intel graphics card works only with latest Intel CPUs... so in the future if I want to upgrade I would need to upgrade not only the CPU, the motherboard AND now the video card...

Palit released 1650 with passive cooling long time ago(KalmX series).

Anyway just from specs its just bad, really bad.  First CPU compatibility limited to budget motherboards and Intel CPUs. Its almost guaranteed that you cant partially upgrade your rig as you have GPU that works only on this particular setup. 4GB vram? Who cares - if rumours like this offers performance on par of Tiger Lake iGPU then its significantly slower than GTX 1030. Also it will be LPDDR4X - fast for RAM, but not VRAM -  memory in 1650 is almost 3x faster.  GG&WP Intel.
