Intel Ends Kaby Lake Processors - all of them (updated)

Intel Ends Kaby Lake Processors - all of them (updated)

It was cooperation that couldn't last long, as ever since its release, a lot of AMD Radeon staff quickly moved to Intel. We're talking about Kaby Lake-G, you know the hybrid Intel processor with a Radeon GPU. 

Obviously Intel is working hard on their own new GPU architecture (with that AMD Radeon staff), and as such, it is not really a surprise that the collaboration inebtween Intel and AMD on this front now comes to an end. With a product notification Intel now officially ends Kaby Lake-G. Kaby Lake-G was a CPU linked with an interconnect towards an AMD GPU, a single package with products of two sworn enemies. 

Update: In another product change notification all Kaby Lake chips have been given the status 'Discontinued'. We think Intel might be clearing up room on the 14nm node for other processors.

I used a couple of these to replace a couple of aging mac mini's that the owner thought were "awesome"......and i am pleased to say the NUC blew the mac mini away. Pretty slick gear.

Willing to bet this is because of Xe development.

Sourcing chips from your competition seems like a dead-end anyways (not taking anything away from the quality of the product itself). I would tend to agree with you. The intel igpu was due for an overhaul some time ago (Iris was better, but still kinda meh), but they certainly might as well take full advantage of their new graphics chips and designs. These kaby lake-g chips seemed like more of a "proof of concept" design then an actual long term solution from the start........they are super cool though. Would not be surprised to see a very similar chip package with a Xe chips instead of Vega.

What doesn't help is I'm pretty sure these chips were only used by Intel for their NUC. If Apple used them, it would have been different seeing Apple is pretty Pro Intel cpu and AMD gpu.

Yeah, i never saw them in anything but NUC's. Seems like it could have been thermally tame enough for a laptop or a nano/pico itx oem system.....but whatever. I was pretty impressed with the ones i used. Would make an awesome media center, hell it made a great mac replacement.
