Intel Xe powered Destiny 2 on a thin and light laptop live on stage at CES 2020
Fancy playing Destiny 2 on a laptop no thicker than a slice of bread. Okay, I’ll admit I’m not good at coming up with nifty real-world comparisons for tech, but Intel just showed off its upcoming Intel Xe DG1 GPU live on stage at CES 2020 playing Destiny 2… and all in a thin and light laptop.
Now we don’t know the exact spec, but that laptop up above, announced by VP of architecture Lisa Pearce, was running an Intel Tiger Lake chip, the successor to Ice Lake incoming sometime in 2020. The chip is manufactured on the company’s 10nm+ process, and has been paired with DG1, a discrete graphics processor built on the Intel Xe architecture set to launch later this year.
We also don’t know the settings or resolution of the demo, which will lead to some hefty speculation on the performance on offer with DG1. It’s been supposed that the combination of DG1 and Tiger Lake integrated graphics EUs (Execution Units) could make for a mighty mobile combo when combined… but we all know how tricky multiple GPU rendering can be.
