Intel Xe Graphics: An Interview with VP Lisa Pearce

I will take any discrete GPU that works stably on Linux and is 75W peak draw or under. I hear good things about the newer AMD lineup with the open-source AMD drivers, but even the most low-end of those all take an external power-connector, which puts them over 75W of peak draw.

DG1 sounds ideal for this but you can't buy it.

Hopefully there's some way to get it when it's released

According to videocardbenchmark.net Intel Xe graphics are about 20% faster than the GT1030, that currently leads in the world of single slot low power GPUs

I have a 1050Ti and there is no combination of graphics drivers and KDE compositor settings that will let me browse the web stably with firefox and webrender.

I don't care if it's 20% slower than the GT1030 if I can browse the web in firefox under KDE with default settings! Since I replace my graphics card less often than I replace my CPU, I would pay a premium for such a device.

What about the ryzen CPUs with integrated graphics? I've been using an old A8 APU and it's decent.

Edit: just saw you said discrete. Oops.
