Intel Xe (stylized as Xe and pronounced as two separate letters,[1] abbreviation for "exascale for everyone"[2]), earlier known unofficially as Gen12,[3][4] is a GPU architecture developed by Intel.[5]

Intel Xe includes a new instruction set architecture. The Xe GPU family consists of a series of microarchitectures, ranging from integrated/low power (Xe-LP),[6] to enthusiast/high performance gaming (Xe-HPG), datacenter/high performance (Xe-HP) and high performance computing (Xe-HPC).[7][8]
