Intel "Nova Lake-AX" Specifications Surface: 28 CPU Cores, 48 Xe3 GPU Cores, and LPDDR5X
The B580 has 20 Xe² cores, with 48, this purported APU would put two of those in the ground. That'd make Celestial an insane gain over Battlemage. I want to believe, but... with the B770 nowhere in sight, and Intel's marketing quiet as a mouse... I have to be skeptical
As you said, B580 has 5 Render slices (20 Xe² cores, 160 XVEs(EUs)). Link
Yeah, Raichu mentioned 384EUs, which would mean 6x more than Lunar Lake(Arrow Lake) or 2.4x than B580, but let's be realistic.
There is not enough BW for that, B580 has 456 GB/s while this one only 341GB/s with 10,667 MT/s LPDDR5X.
Then there is still the question of size, B580 with only 160XVEs is already 272 mm² using 5N from TSMC.
Yeah, this would use N3 or N2, so there will be significant reduction in size not to mention some things would be on a different tile, but with 384XVEs(EUs), It should be still >150-200mm2 in my opinion and that's still huge when this is just the GPU tile.
I think those 384EUs are equivalent to 192EUs, but more capable, something like AMD did with RDNA3 and dual-issue.
Nothing else really makes sense to me to be truthful. |
