Intel Talks About Discrete Graphics Processor at ISSCC

Intel Talks About Discrete Graphics Processor at ISSCC

Announced and then canned it in the past, but now it seems to live again. A few months ago AMDs primary GPU guru Raja Koduri made a move to Intel, who got the title Chief Architect and Senior Vice President of Core and Visual Computing Group, and weeks later, Intel talks about a GPU, a discrete one.

From the looks of it, Intel will enter the discrete GPU and is talkiong about a prototype chip of a discrete Intel GPU at ISSCC (IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference) in San Francisco, USA. As PC Watch writes today.

The talk is all that though, talk about a prototype with examples of the building blocks in the base design. The GPU would be based on existing Intel's integrated GPU architecture but advances on that. This prototype GPU architecture is based on the latest Intel Graphics Gen 9 generation, Intel's standard GPU core itself. However, the implementation is LP (low power), the GPU would be fabbed at 14 nm and see a die size of 8×8 mm with 1.5 Billion transistors. A GP102 from Nvidia like the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti as comparison holds, 12 Billion. So you can see that Intel starts low, do the groundwork and then scale upwards from there onwards. In the prototype chip each block (cluster) holds six EUs. While all these specs do not sound enticing for a super fast GPU, it's might be the new  groundwork and building block of what might become an advanced GPU, in the future. 

Below you can check out all the charts and slides, again courtesy of Hirofumi Goto from PC Watch.

lol.....
Their top end Iris Pro isn't horrible for an integrated GPU. If they could multiply that power by even a few times for a discrete card, then they'd have a market to sell to.

If it helps lower the price of AMD/Nvidia graphics cards then so be it.

It won't have any effect at all. It's miners driving up the prices at the moment. The manufacturer sale price has not changed, and never does (they are legally not allowed to by their sales contracts). Nvidia and AMD only profit from the current insanity through increased sales. Blame the sale prices on the miners and retailers.

I think you misunderstood. I wasn't saying AMD/Nvidia are raising prices directly, I meant cheaper cards from bother vendors at retailers (I know Nvidia currently sells cards at MSRP on their site). If Intel enters the dGPU market with a decent mining card then it might help increase supply and drive down prices. Basically, anything that increases supply is welcome.
