Raja Koduri hints at June 2020 Intel Xe graphics card launch
For those that have been living under a rock and w onder who the man is, Raja Koduri was the guy behind many Radeon GPUs, and then moved to Intel where he is working on Xe amongst other things. Now, everybody knows that Xe GPUs will see some announcements in 2020, as that was announced.
Something funny happened though, Raja apparently bought himself a Tesla Model X, and on his number plate, he left a few distinct hints. First off, the plate is called THINKXE. That's funny enough already. However, when you look closer at the number palte there are two labels on there that either shouldn't be, or simply are expiration dates of the plate. The first being the obvious 2020. The second one, however, is JUN aka June, and that's Computex timeframe folks. Xe is the development name for Intels Gen12 graphics processor architecture, which will end up in both consumer and commercial enterprise forms. We have to give Raja a thumbs up here, subtle, very subtle.

Well, that isn't what you said before, at least it wasn't made entirely clear. The part off you not being interested in GCN was made clear, but, I was responding more to the parts that were more generalized.
None of this changes anything, as i said, there was never once in the entirety of GCN cards that enticed me to buy an AMD GPU.

I'm speaking as a consumer, as myself and for myself, not for any compute stuff, etc. Not really sure what was unclear.

Probably so, I couldn't care less about what it's called, numbers speak more than anything else.
Ahh good to know I don't have to worry. I just didn't think about it, even though using the internet, because apparently I tend to not focus on such things. But I think I got you wrong there, my bad.
SJW goofy pronoun stuff aside, I think "Xe" is mean to be derivative of "Xeon". So I'm betting Xe is the name of the core and workstation/compute model GPUs. Probably some other naming scheme (Iris, HDxxx, ?) for consumer cards when / if those happen.

Nice strawman there, you know nothing about me, but apparently noticing something that you can commonly see if you at least use internet is somehow bad and I need help. But let me put your worries to rest, I don't think Xe is actually in any way related to the silly made up pronoun, I just found the naming somewhat funny.

Huh? GCN was absolutely fantastic for compute purposes (though, I would argue TeraScale2 was better, or could have been anyway). GCN, as an architecture hardware, is good (not amazing, but good). The problem ultimately came down to the Windows drivers for gaming, which AMD (and ATI) was never good at developing.
The Linux drivers, on the other hand, are very solid, and improve on a monthly basis. 5 years ago, Nvidia was pretty much the only sensible choice for Linux gaming. Today, Nvidia is actually getting difficult to recommend.
None of this changes anything, as i said, there was never once in the entirety of GCN cards that enticed me to buy an AMD GPU.
