Intel’s recently announced Xe video card with DG1 GPU does not work in combination with AMD CPUs. The video cards, which are exclusively available for OEMs, require a special UEFI bios that only works with recent Intel processors, according to Intel.
An Intel spokesman explains opposite Legit Reviews that the Xe DG1 video card is intended for prebuilt systems with 9th generation Coffee Lake-S and 10th generation Comet Lake-S CPUs, in combination with a B460, H410, B365 or H310C chipset. “These motherboards require a special bios that supports the Intel Iris Xe, so the cards will not be compatible with other systems,” the company said.
The video cards will only be available for OEMs, but due to these restrictions, no pre-built computers with AMD CPU and Intel Xe GPU will appear. Support for the upcoming Intel Rocket Lakedesktop processors are also not mentioned, but those chips optionally already contain an integrated Xe-GPU and will not be on the market until later this quarter.
Intel announced its Intel Xe graphics card for desktops on Tuesday. The video card is equipped with 80 execution units and 4GB of video memory. The video card is produced on Intel’s 10nm process and is comparable to the Xe GPUs that are integrated in Intel Tiger Lake laptop processors.
The separate Xe video card would be produced by ASUS and Colorful, according to the Intel website. In addition, only ASUS was mentioned by name as a production partner, but Colorful was mentioned in the metadata of the announcement page. The image shown of a Xe video card with fans also shows great similarities with the RTX 2060 BattleAx of the company, so also writes VideoCardz.
However, Colorful argued against this on Wednesday. The company reports on Facebook that it is not involved in the production of Intel Iris Xe video cards. “Recently, rumors have circulated on media platforms incorrectly reporting that Colorful Iris is releasing Xe desktop video cards for OEMs. Colorful would like to clarify that these rumors are false and the information and content derived from them are unfounded,” the company said.
