Intel's Raja Koduri first discrete GPU codenamed Arctic Sound will be based on Intel Gen12 GPU architecture and second discrete GPU codenamed Jupiter Sound will be based on Intel Gen13 GPU architecture.

Arctic Sound discrete GPUs due to launch in 2019 or 2020 probably will packed hundreds of Execution Units that would compete with AMD Navi and Nvidia Ampere in mobile and high end desktop discrete GPUs. AMD probably going to lose potential huge GPU marketshare and Nvidia lose some to Intel.
 
Its not going to compete GeForce and AMD gaming cards, not unless nVidia and AMD are giving away graphics IP.
That's not what this is, its Intels answer to Machine Learning and parallel computing, you're not going to be choosing between AMD, nVidia and Intel GPU for your graphics in 2020 or ever..

Er no this Gen12 architecture is not Intels answer to Machine Learning and parallel computing, Intel already had answer to Machine Learning, AI and parallel computing with Intel Nervana codenamed Lake Crest launched back in October 2017 and Lake Crest successor will be codenamed Knights Crest, Nervana GPUs are all based on Tensor architecture. Also Intel already had answer to servers, Deep Learining, HPC and supercomputers with Intel Xeon Phi GPGPUs codenamed Knights Mill launched last month in December 2017 and Knights Mill successor will be codenamed Knights Peak based on 7nm process as Intel cancelled Knights Hill which planned to use 10nm, all Xeon Phi GPGPUs are based on x86 Many Integrated Core Architecture.

So this Gen12 would be absolutely utter useless at machine learning and parallel computing, servers, HPC and supercomputers, Gen12 is not designed to do that type of apps so Gen12 is like all past 12 generations that are only good at watching media, video, run apps, working on word processing, spreadsheets, databases and GAMING! :D

It really shame Intel Nervana GPUs and Xeon Phi GPGPUs all cant run Crysis, it just cant run any games.

PS: AMD have graphics market share? i thought nVidia owned all but about ~10% of it now?

In Q3 2017 Nvidia owned 73% of GPU AIB market while AMD had 27% so Q4 would be much worse for AMD with prices gone through roof with all Vega reference cards gone and no Vega custom cards for almost 2 months I think.

We will have to wait and see Raja Koduri will do with Arctic Sound, it may be the first Intel discrete GPU that could be able to run games up to 4K resolution with maxed settings at ease. Hopefully Arctic Sound will be very good at GPU mining. :)
