Photo Shows The New Intel MCM based CPU with AMD-GPU

Photo Shows The New Intel MCM based CPU with AMD-GPU

Intel this week announced its mobile MCM processor based on a 14 nm Coffee Lake-H CPU cores and a Vega based graphics solution. This is called a multi-chip module, and the first photo just surfaced. And it's totally weird to observe alright.

Intel plans this laptop-computer chip combining an Intel processor and an AMD graphics unit. The new product, which will be part of the 8th Gen Intel Core family, brings together our high-performing Intel Core H-series processor, second generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) and a custom-to-Intel third-party discrete graphics chip from AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group – all in a single processor package, but based on several dies.

A photo surfaced online showing the massively huge MCM design, as shared by tech website Bits' n Chips on Twitter. On the left-hand side of the photo, you can see the Intel processor and to the left, the larger AMD GPU with the HBM2 stack. 

 
A 14nm Vega architecture was the choice for the GPU, Intel mentions the usage of HBM2. Earlier this year Intel already announced their Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) making these things (a second die) possible, for modular builds. The Intel and the AMD part communicate over what basically is a PCIe Gen 3.0 bridge wired in-between each other. The first products based on MCMs will likely be embedded products and laptops, they should launch by Q1 2018.

omg
Lol that's some seriously beefy performance if true. Ultrabook with near 1060 graphics performance? Colour me impressed.

Lol I see my guess was on spot :), because the die size looked ~50% of Vega 56, nice.
now look how much it sa\ves comparing for 1060:

its also the thickness that is saved for not needing to pace the GPU PCB on top of the MB PCB.

What exactly is an embedded product? And what would need this kinda graphical oomph over an igpu or an AMD apu?

It is Vega because Polaris does not support HBM....

That is like saying all GPU's must use DDR5 etc. We have seen for a long time GPU's can use different types of memory, some would come with DDR3 back in the day with the same lower cost GPU featuring DDR2. AMD could have easily released Vega with GDDR5 if they wanted. GPU architecture doesn't dictate what memory it has to use. The part number in the OpenCL information for this new CPU/GPU combination is gfx804, a polaris based chip. I really can't see AMD sharing Vega with Intel just yet. Adored makes this clear in his video

I'm sure everyone has seen the pcb pic that Intel put up showing what this replaces--it was ~3x bigger... ;)
