AMD and Intel teaming up

[humbug]

How long have they been working on this? it looks ready.

Wonder what the stock heatsink will be like and if it's enough.

Shame they didn't announce it earlier though, the new iMacs/MBP was announced a couple of months ago so they missed the Apple boat.

You mean the imac pro which contains an Intel Xeon and and AMD Vega?

That's a higher spec than this mini stuff.

No no, the normal iMacs, not the pro version . The ones with the normal Kabylake i5/7s and Polaris based Radeon Pro GPUs.

But what about my S3 Savage?

Intel offical slides have been leaked:

https://videocardz.com/74631/intel-launches-8th-gen-core-processor-with-radeon-rx-vega-graphics

Looks like it uses 4GB of HBM2 and is positioned against the mobile GTX1050 and GTX1060TI graphics cards.

Intel also has announced a new NUC for VR using the new SKUs:

The first laptop announced with the new Intel SKU:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/1222...pectre-x360-using-intel-with-radeon-rx-vega-m

Its identified as RX Vega M.

 

[humbug]

24 compute units is 1536 Shaders.

To put that into perspective an RX 560 has 1024 Shaders, and the RX 570 has 2048 Shaders.
It will easily compete with the GTX 1050TI.

 

[jigger]

I would like to see the 1536 SP chip on a desktop card.

A Korean website tested an NUC with the integrated Vega graphics:

GPU seems to be in-between a GTX1050TI and a GTX1060 in performance.

This is just what I'm after, but as always with anything Intel, it's the price that lets it down. No doubt with an official price of $999 for the 1536SP NUK8i7HVK it'll be £1000 here.

If it was priced at more like £700 then it'd be decent value when you consider that you'd need a graphics card costing at least £250 to beat it. Add in case, PSU, motherboard and CPU expense and it would be a great alternative.
