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.

It's not about resources alone, it already tried and failed doing all kind of none-CPU chips. from consoles SOCs, low power smartphones chips and even dedicated GPUs.
all failed, you know why? because Intel is a one trick pony. maybe they can literally "buy" a GPU design with enough money but you need the right mindset for that. Nvidia is not even trying right now
Nvidia is miles ahead, GPUs are quite different from CPUs and require very different talent.

Intel huge lead was due to the fabrication powerhouse it has built, their fabs are their own,they focused only on their CPUs(whereas TSMC has tons of customers with very different requirements) and were ahead in terms of process node.
but this is no longer the case, 10nm seems to be in a horrible shape while other fabs are already sampling 7nm(which should be about equivalent).
they are talking about 2020! the project could die before that(though Intel is really interested in GPUs now due to rising markets like AI, Cryptocurrency, Cloud GPU)
This is all speculation and things that havent happened yet. You cant talk about Cryptocurrency because the market is unstable this can die tomorrow and no one would care except the people involved. To be honest AMD hasnt challenged Intel in the GPU market for a long time. Oh i forgot AMD finally has a chip in 2018 that challenged Haswell LOL

That should be new uArch and Raja's mind in it. If that's worth anything, I can't say, but to some, he is GPU God, to others just someone who screwed badly and run or was made to leave.

Unless they've changed their mind, the first dedicated GPU will be based off of current iGPU architectures, so don't really think Raja will have anything to do with it in regards to revolutionizing their architecture.

You say you're not a fanboy, and yet you make comments like this. You make it easy to see through your own lies.

Crypto is just an example of computing going the direction of GPUs. same with AI, machine learning, gaming, Cloud services, Streaming and so on.
I have no idea what this means:
