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.

Have you ever heard sound of Arctic Storm? Forget about Leaf Blower design... People will cover their ears in terror.

Here's a new thought...imagine how prices would change and innovation speed increase if we finally had real competition, across all tiers, for Ngreedia!!!
I've no problem whatsoever where this competition comes from...AMD, Intel, etc.
Now, let's apply the same thinking to Intel's CPU's...is Ryzen / Threadripper looking tempting? More tempting into next year's Horizon??
Too bad Intel likes to charge even more than Nvidia and only innovates from time to time... Also expecting an high end GPU from Intel to compete with Nvidia in the near future is just a dream...

Here's a bold claim: If there's real competition, Nvidia cuts down by say 100$ for the top model, AMD is just behind with 50$ cheaper than Nvidia, and Intel can't keep up with performance and is the new budget deal.
It's not like AMD wouldn't dare to charge money for a good product that can compete, they do in their fields as well. And we've already seen in many cases that the general "market theory" does not work, just because there's competition doesn't mean they meet on the bottom end of price range, they might as well go for inflated prices if they can sell enough cards

For that we have Quadro from NVidia or some really rare Radeon Pro and as seeing how hard it was for AMD to get some pro market despite being a major GPU builder

On other hand it sound that is the same that have found the coffee lake name for a processor or so

Not that much

There probably won't be any ice left once they fire up that graphics card.
