We will set our graphics free. #SIGGRAPH2018

How many security flaws will this GPU have? :D

Given the discrete GPU in the middle ground imagery I'm guessing this is Intel going full on graphics not iGPU.

As much as I dislike the ethics of Intel, the world needs a competitor to Nvidia in the GPU segment.
 
The more competition the better!
The trouble is, no matter how talented Intel's engineers are, they can only be as competitive as the licencing agreement they have allows them to be. AMD+nV+a couple others have the GPU market completely sewn up, such that no new entrant is possible.

Unless, like Apple, they can just walk all over the GPU patents minefield and simply throw money at lawyers from now until oblivion. It's odd that everybody who knows anything thinks Apple must be infringing ImgTec's patents, but ImgTec don't seem to be pursuing them...
 
IMO the bigger problem is Intel's mindset when it comes to the software development and support as a company, though having new people in might slightly offset that if given enough free reign but so far it looks like they've been concentrating on hardware talent - hopefully not with the concept that the software comes later and they need to design the hardware first :|

I'm not convinced Intel can make a good go of this until I see it for myself - they might manage to make something great hardware wise but I'm not convinced they can compete when it comes to the overall package - software and ecosystem around it, etc.
 
do we really think intel will be at nvidias level come the release of this? they wont even be at amds level for a good few years.

the only competition this will bring is budget wise and if people still buy nvidia they wont be doing it for very long.
 
2020 launch then eh? So that means available to buy "Holiday 2022" on recent form I suppose.

They should actually have a good product on first time of asking mind, seeing as it will basically be an AMD 'borrowed' design, so should work without a hitch.

Good on em anyway.
 
Intel have a lot of ground to navigate before being trusted in the DCC sphere for anything other than processors and those have glaring security problems.
Both AMD and Nvidia have a good reputation.
