Intel confirms it will release their first high-end GPU in 2020
Pretty much as expected, Intel is working on a dedicated GPU that Intel which is now confirmed to be released in 2020. Intel's first real GPU likely will end up as graphics accelerator for gaming, machine learning, and AI.
The new has been posted by Raja Koduri who left the AMD Radeon team last year. In a tweet, Intel confirms that the GPU will be released in 2020, other than that Intel does not hand out details. In a recent analyst event last week, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich also mentioned they will have their first discrete graphics chips available in 2020.
It will be interesting to see how the GPUs will spin off, likely the first waves will be where money can be made, data-centers for AI, deep-learning, and computation. However, given the recent staff moved from AMD towards Intel, gaming graphics cards look to be a viable market. It's still two years away though, and you can bet that AMD and NVIDIA are not sitting still. The GPUs to be released will very likely carry the code names Arctic Sound and Jupiter Sound. We hope for Intel that they will invest heavily in the software side of things as well -- The hardware is just one part of the recipe.

Oh, I know. It will only work with an Optane drive, and to unlock gaming mode you will need to purchase a dongle. And last but not least, you will need a new motherboard every two generations :p
Seriously now, this product is clearly for the data center market. I doubt a consumer part will be coming anytime soon.

They already fked up the contract with the USA govt for pre-exascale supercomputer (Aurora) by being unable to deliver in 2018.
Despite that their contract was prolonged with the delivery date shifted to 2021.
Meanwhile IBM & Nvidia delivered as promised:

So why is Intel still in the game for the exascale grant? Why not give everything to IBM & NV?
Because USA govt wants 2 or 3 distinct architectures with different technologies.

In case you wonder why post that ^^ in GPU thread, it's because Aurora failed on GPU front.
Remember 6-7 ago years when they rebooted Larabee under Phi/Knights branding and everyone was predicting Nvidia is finished in datacenters?
LOL other than in heavily subsidized supercomputers, Intel's manycore is nowhere to be found.
