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.

Could not agree more, this is so hugely important and often overlooked by hardware manufacturers... *Cough* sound cards.
Still doubt they'l be better than Nvidia, but more competition= needed!
Same, this is gunna be gooooood.

Intel has claimed they are doing this in the past. Every time it is smoke and mirrors. The boy has cried wolf again. I am not buying it.

Interesting, but there only can be two. out of the three only two will survive. Anyway, it would be nice if someone made new OS for PC giving MS run for its money.

Well Intel should have plenty of $ to invest in R&D. Raja certainly has some experience and knowledge, but since they can't copy AMD's designs due to copyright etc. it will be interesting to see how powerful of a GPU they can manage to produce in 2 years time.

I don't expect this to have anything to do with Xeon Phi or Larabee project.
Most likely ground-up new design with some unknown knowledge... and that's why it will take another 2 years to get something out, there's a lot of work to do.
I am happy however, even if this is Intel. More competition and more choices are nice !
I remember the day when 3D was just starting, there were so many companies trying out... 3DFx, Nvidia, ATI, Matrox, S3, ATI, Rendition, PowerVR, SiS, 3DLabs, Tseng labs, Trident, Cirrus Logic ...
It's a sad affair today to see just a stagnant duopoly.
Three is already a party ;-)
Bring it Intel !
