Bring it on!

Not upgrading PC now 'till I know if Intel is going to bang AMD/Nvidia out.

JediFragger · 27 Aug 2019 at 09:21

Just hope they prove us wrong regarding drivers, they haven't exactly shined in this area!!

Imagine ending up in a world where the recommended build is an AMD system with Intel GPU.

Oh boy, a tower of speculative comparison all the way to 2080 Ti.

Yeaaah lets see what actually comes out seeing as it's Intels first try at this.

The whole article is a click bait. Even the charts have "Possible performance" tags, and doesn't say anything. Just speculation.

Or AMD & Nvidia System (AMD GPU, NV CPU) - NV should make CPU;s.

is it me or does it feel like raja just designed fury mark 2?

HBM on the high end ones to, the render screams fury

Cute, Intel still think they can make software. Doesn't matter how good the hardware is if the software is sub par. It will be sub par!

Intel Xe coming soon?

Raj posted this picture - it's a custom number plate on his Tesla - it says "THINKXE" along with a date embossed on the plate "Jun 2020"

I’m going to take a guess in saying there will be an incentive to use a Intel CPU with these upcoming Intel GPU’s.

Performance could be crippled artificially, or show substantial gains when combined with an Intel CPU.

Call it pessimistic, but this seems like the logical marketing progression to me, especially after hoovering up Lisa Su’s line about building an entire system around AMD architecture.

Will start with a few basic cards which show marginal improvements and competitiveness against AMD and Nvidia, then the real gouging will start.

I’d put a bet on it.

After poor volta I'm surprised Raj would still do marketing like this lol.

Probably end up coming out in December

I'm sceptical about Intel's ability to produce a competitive graphics product as there software is light years behind AMD and Nvidia.

Imagine having Intel CPU and gpu. The exploits would be out of this world

More competition is a good thing for sure. I hope it continues to force down prices and raise innovation.

Lets hope, as we don't see Matrox doing anything atm!

Sabitech · 4 Oct 2019 at 14:42

Very exciting times

If VGA video output makes a comeback like vinyl records, they'll have an in!

Volta the fastest HBM based cards you can get and they launched two years ago, what have AMD been doing with the tech.

So much for poor Volta.
