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.

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.
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
