Correction should be made to the article: "This graphics processor reportedly has 16 Xe clusters, which means that it sits above the ACM-G11 with eight Xe clusters and Arc-G10 with 16 Xe clusters in total."
The ACM-G10 has 32 Xe clusters native (not 16), along with a 256-bit memory interface. ACM-G11 does have 8 Xe clusters as described, with a 96-bit bus. It was always really weird to me that Intel did not have a third chip in-between those two, with 16 Xe clusters and a 128-bit memory bus, so the ACM-G12 makes a lot of sense.
Can you guys have a breakdown article on wtf are "Xe cores" "render slices" "XMX engines" "xe vector engines" etc? What is any of that? Do nvidia/amd have equivalents in any way?
Xe cores are the actual blocks that make up the GPU. It's similar to AMD's GCN and RDNA. XMX and XVE are the parts that make up a single Xe core. They are similar to NVIDIA's CUDA and Tensor cores, but not a 1:1 analogy.
It's probably easier to see how they all fit in by doing a google image search for "Xe Cores".
