Intel Said To be Working on Arctic Sound and Jupiter Sound Graphics Processors
It's only been weeks since AMD's Raja Kodury CTO left for Intel, and now the first rumors appear that Intel would be working on Arctic Sound and Jupiter Sound GPUs, discrete GPUs. The new GPUs would see the light of day as the twelfth and thirteenth generation of graphics chips.
It seems Intel would like to connect the GPUS via emib (Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) to the processor, much like they are doing with the recent processors that have a Vega-GPU. These project names though: 'Arctic Sound' and 'Jupiter Sound', well they have been reported by Ashraf Eassa from The Motley Fool, the guy published more Intel and valid news. He mentions names, nothing else though.
It'll be years before these GPUs see the light of day, as well the twelfth and thirteenth generation of GPU's are that, years away. 1+1=2 ergo it is assumed that it is Raja Koduri probably working on these GPUs.
Thanks, SH SOTN for the news-submit.

Intel Sandy Bridge-E limited to 6 cores due to TDP - 10/18/2011 09:43 AM
Intel's initial Sandy Bridge-E processors don't offer eight cores because this would push the TDP over 130W as vrzone reports today: There's another reason, that may top them all though - TDP. Yes, th...

I think budget isn't the issue, but time. It depends on when Intel wants to release their GPUs to see if he can do "miracles".

Personally I think Raja has a better opportunity of making something great at Intel due to two main factors - Intel's funds, and their current market position.
Intel is still very strong in terms of their market position, however this can (if not already, looking at 2017) drastically change in near future. AMD caught up with Ryzen, and now they offer their APU's. Something that Intel as of Right now can do nothing about.
Im certain Intel will spend A LOT of money on this. Perhaps finally some development that will benefit consumers, instead of bribing corporations to use Intel instead of alternatives? Time will tell. Personally I will be happy if this competition will increase quality / decrease prices over the board, and most importantly add Choice to the market.
Also small speculation, but perhaps we can see a Intel GPU coming out of this at some point? Nvidia needs more competitors after all.

Well we're currently at Gen9.5, Cannonlake has Gen10, so thats still one more generation in between until those would reach us. Gen9/9.5 lasted quite a while too, so if that continues .. who knows, could be quite some years.

Its just another integrated GPU pile of crap. Good for mobile stuff but not for desktop gaming. Therefore, I don't care. I couldn't be paid to care. Its going into laptops from the sound of it and therefore won't do a damn thing to bring competition to the desktop. Nvidia owns the entire game and it will stay that way, except for maybe some pressure in the low lower, low performance, low interest, low give a crap product segments such as laptops and tablets.

Koduri couldn't produce miracles at AMD, but perhaps he will have better luck with Intel's unlimited budget at his disposal. One can only imagine that AMD's offerings would have been more interesting if the R&D department had had two or three times more money.
