Driver optimizations underway

Intel's Raja Koduri has teased the Xe-HPG (DG2) chip with 512 EUs on Twitter, showing that the chip is ready but that there are still a lot of things to be done, including upcoming game and driver optimizations from the software team.

The chip packs 512 EUs, for a total of 4096 shading units, and should be paired up with 16GB of GDDR6 memory.
