Intel to hold conference for 2020 Arctic Sound discrete GPU next month
With the move of several members of the AMD GPU team moving towards Intel, a lot is changing all under the leadership of Raja Koduri. Intel aims to release a dedicated GPU by 2020 under the codename Arctic Sound.
Arctic Sound will be Intel's proper attempt into the GPU market (I am not counting Larrabee which in the end got canceled), we do expect the initial release to be aimed at the intelligence (AI) and machine learning sectors but yes, in the end, perhaps a gaming GPU as well.
Intel is now rumored to host a conference in December, with its chief architect Raja Koduri and executives bringing updates about the company's development and future projection of the pending technology. Koduri who left AMD precisely a year ago has set up a GPU R&D center in Canada, and it has plans to build a GPU design R&D center in India.

Honestly be it any type of GPU, I'm all for it. We need more competition in GPU's in any type of usage.

So will Intel adopt Freesync?

true but it also has to "competition" if it 2-3 generations behind the leader performance wise it not "competition" imo and dont help prices in way.
AMD is how many generations behind performance wise compared to nvidia? this probably one reason why nvidia decided it ok to raise the prices for last 2 generations by quite bit

Raja Koduri is leading this development, who has had a great amount of success in AMD and Apple designing Graphics solutions. That experience plus the most likely infinite R&D funding from Intel could lead to a very promising product.

Hopefull amd r&d funds was the issue and as such intel wont have this issue and Raja can produce

A single generation? Although the situation is more complicated since GCN technology seems to be a dead end already, so they could do nothing about it, even if they wanted to. AMD needs a whole new architecture to catch up, and nobody knows if they can succeed at it or not. Certainly Raja didn't believe in it since he left the ship. Sony and MS probably do believe AMD can do it if they stick to AMD for the next console generation as well. Not that there would be a whole lot of choices available.

Somehow, "Arctic Sound" sounds like a Sound Card to me, not a video card.
In any case, I hope Intel can deliver serious competition so we'll hopefully have three viable options at fairer prices in the future.
It not google “dropping ice down a borehole explained”

Yes, in this context at least a 3 way is better than a 2 way.
Well accept it, a three way market is better than 2 way market.

Unfortunately, that's not gonna change anytime soon. . .
Hopefully by that time, Intel will start providing samples to EU reviewers, so Hilbert won't have to buy his own to review.

I am pretty sure they have driver code to support VESA Adaptive Sync ready for moment they decide to stop milking G-Sync.
For that time when they expect AMD to hit hard. Because day nVidia GPUs officially start working with Adaptive Sync is day every single AMD user with Freesync screens considers nVidia's GPU at least for a moment.
And that may deliver extra sales for them before AMD does deliver that heavy hitter GPU.
no doubt they have code since AMD left it open source for VESA.
as to them doing the smart thing (which you refer to), that remains to be seen and i highly doubt it for two simple reasons; pride, and time.
there is also the fact they are busy staking out the high end. Nvidia "don't want no scrubs",
despite selling in every segment. they make more profit from the xx80 and xx70 per card than three xx60 cards and more so as you go down the line as the margins are progressively slimmer. and that's the hidden strength of AMD/TSMC, AMD has more profit margin at rx x80/90 than Nvidia has with xx70. and the rx vega cards are a goldmine in their profitability.

I fully expect a professionnal GPU market war for years to come but no way they're getting into gaming in the near future. It's just too competitive with ridiculus margin.

competitive yes, i m not sure about small margins. Price for cards rise up. I m not sure nvidia is selling chips low and asus and gigabyte and others rising prices on their own.

Please please Intel now anounce a soundcard named arctic Aurora!
Jokes aside i am hoping they have something good cooking!

well my gpu supports Gsync my monitor does not, I not getting new monitor till this one dies maybe by then gsync monitors will be affordable, or better yet nvidia supports what is parts of the vesa standard
