cant wait to see it tested and whether it remains in stock

"Gamer Xtreme Gaming Desktop."
No doubt it would be an extreme gaming experience with that PC.

More like extreme low fps AAA titles and driver bugs along with that.

It will highly depend on hashrate 🙂

You'd think Intel would send some out with reviewers just to get some interest in better cards to come ... especially with the situation with AMD and nvidia cards not being available.
As long as people are told it is entry level and people don't have any high expectations people would be happy to read about it, and I know I certainly would.
I think they have missed an opportunity here.
Hilbert, can you send a begging letter to them? In this case I wouldn't even mind if you promised them that you would not rate it, just give the data ...
Kaarme
I'm not sure it's relevant in this case. Guru3D hasn't traditionally reviewed entry level cards. Let's just hope Hilbert has an opportunity to review the real deal (at least lower mainstream) once they hit the market.

with rx550 graphics performance it is not even worth a look.

If it was any good, it would be in every reviewer hand by now and news all over the internet.
LPDDR4X memory? Ahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah

30 watt gpu....xtreme....yeah NO
Undying
Its even worse than that.

That's because this isn't the flagship, and doesn't even seem to be a mainstream model. Seems to me it's just a budget model. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same thing you'd find in their 11th gen CPUs but with higher clock speeds and access to more memory bandwidth.
So yeah, this isn't worth reviewing because it's not the product Intel wants attention drawn toward.
Also doesn't help that Intel's Windows drivers for Xe are crap.

beat me to it 😱:p;)

The significance of this isn't lost on me. However, anyone who's followed Xe development already knows it's more suited to mobile devices right now. In-fact, the performance will be similar to the new PC gaming handhelds like GPD Win 3 and ONEXPLAYER.
It's basically crap compared to what most of us have here, but, this is the first few steps. They did the igpu, then discrete version of that igpu, then, the next step they'll ramp it up for v2 of the desktop gpu which will be new territory for Intel in the consumer market.
An interesting scenario will likely present itself;
Do I buy the best (100%) performance gpus that I might have to wait months for, or, do I get the not quite as good (80%~) one for a lot cheaper and easier to get? and yes, the drivers will be the deciding factor in the end, it's make or break.

Like it or not, sometimes companies do not want their products reviewed and compared with other products--this GPU is bound to be underwhelming--seems it's OEM-only, too, so it won't be on the shelf anywhere. But if it was, why would you want it? When Intel can bring a GPU to market that it is proud of then I'm sure it will hit review sites. This card is exactly what I thought it would be. I could never figure out why some folks believed that Intel's first discrete GPU in decades would be competitive with AMD/nVidia.

If this resembles their last OEM-only release then it is of no interest to anyone who visits this site. That one was horrendous. It wasn't even a standard card and it required a special motherboard that won't work with anything else. There are IGUs that work better than that one does.
