Intel Discrete GPU Codenamed Arctic Sound Will Have Gaming Variant, Landing in 2020

Yeah, we've only got Nvidia since AMD pulled out, so another player coming in is just whats needed now, lets give them a chance, or would everyone be happy with Nvidia doing an Intels Tick-Tock for the next god knows how many years, its already utter ***** now!.

Amd will be back with consumer GPUs competing at the top end of the table again at some point.
They just made some iffy design decisions with there Hawaii successor, they will be back with something competitive again - just ask Intel....from the disaster of Bulldozer to Ryzen is a big comeback and you can be sure there will be a similar graphics one when AMD start to concentrate on it.
Even though they have made some missteps Vega is not that bad, ok a bit more power used, big chip and 18 months late is not cool but V56 is good and competitive with the 1070/1080 and lower power vegas are very good in there product lines like with intels Nuc. The 580 is also very competitive with the 1060 so its not like they are out of it totally.

Intel in the gpu market.. I'll give that one a miss, Intel just can't seem to do software so whatever comes of it will no doubt be crippled by utterly rubbish drivers.

I hope I am wrong though.

Intel graphics drivers. Jiggers eyelid twitches slightly.
 
Jim Keller and Koduri... plus they have had an active GPU project running for years so they have a starting point already. I think this will happen, perhaps they are going to go after Xbox...
 
Hopefully this will happen as AMD seem to have thrown in the towel against NVIDIA who are purposely delaying advancements for their profits. Still stuck on a 4 year old 970 and I refuse to buy 2 year old Pascal tech at full prices and this is getting to be my longest owned video card ever.

It owuld be ilegal for Nvidia to do anyting apart form advancing their profits. The CEO can go to jail if he tried to do otherwise.

Problem is they've got a lot of (very experienced) hardware people joined that team but from what I've seen very few software people, let alone renown software people, and as per links people have posted before Intel has a company mentality towards software development that tends to work against what is needed for a successful gaming GPU - so to make a success of that they almost certainly need a standalone software department that can call their own shots as part of this project.

They are going to be limited in how much they can exploit what they know.

Been working hard on AMDs GPU tech in the past? AMD's patented tech? If the patents are doing their job the knowledge is poisoned.
 
Did you see the GPU that Linus got his jands on recently? Completely different hardware philosophy that could go in a strong direction. I hear you on the software, pwrhaps they believe they are a while from going there, or perhaps they will licence a company that is actually good at drivers...

This. Their direct knowledge is useless due to IP infringement. Their value comes form experience and implicit knoweldge

Yeah - the video touched on and provided some further reading on the software side that illustrates what I've been saying for awhile in regard to Intel and software approach.

The concept of highly reprogrammable hardware like that if it could be made to work though has a lot of potential.
 
I honestly cannot see these intel cards touching Nvidia or Amds anytime soon, or at all.
Nvidia holds the graphics market at the moment but Amd will be back (just ask intel about the cpu market) and both will continue to steer the direction of computer graphics for a long while yet.
 
I’d bet on this intel GPU being designed for compute & deep learning not gaming as it’s a significantly more lucrative market.
