Intel has confirmed at its Developer Conference ‘IDC’ 2019 in Tokyo that its new discrete Xe GPUs will release in 2020. Moreover, the blue team confirmed that these GPUs will support Ray Tracing, something that will please a lot of gamers.

Unfortunately, Intel did not reveal any additional details. Still, it’s good knowing that these are still planned for a 2020 release and that they will support Ray Tracing. Again, Intel did not provide any extra details about the RT implementation. However, we suspect that the Xe GPUs will have hardware and not software support.
It’s also interesting noting that Raja Koduri has tweeted the following image. This picture shows a brand new Tesla Model X with a really interesting plate. This plate suggests a June 2020 release for the Xe GPUs.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
The author got mixed two distinct bits of info re Xe into one.. This is how misinformation breeds.

ps: Every GPGPU supports raytracing in software.
