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.

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.

Yes, in this context at least a 3 way is better than a 2 way.
