An Inel Xe GPU is detected in the GFXBench tool, but without publishing any benchmarks

Now, suddenly, an entry is detected in the GFXBench database. There, a device named "Graphics gfx-driver-user-feature_dg1_poweron-27723 DCH ReleaseInternal" appears in the list. The abbreviation "dg1" stands for Discrete Graphics 1 and has long been associated with the Intel Xe architecture.

Despite having appeared in the GFXBench database, no real benchmark has been performed or the display of results has been restricted; Specifications can be read, but only a power test has been performed. Instead of detailed results you will find only "N / A" (not available). But this demonstrates at least the functionality of the GPU and the device drivers.

Rumors indicate that the Intel Xe GPU will have up to 512 execution units. Knowing this, it is estimated that high-end graphics cards based on this GPU will have a similar performance to a Geforce RTX 2080. Xe graphics cards are expected at the earliest in mid-2020, so there are still a couple of months to go. to see it in action. Most likely, their first performance results will begin to leak early next year. We will keep you informed.
