8 cores? That's a bit 'meh' from a company so far behind the competition

Intel's DLSS alternative seems to be quite good.

Wake me when Intel has something other than vaporware paper specs to show...;) Working, shipping silicon would be very nice for a change, because somehow it always seems to be the case that Intel's vaporware paper releases of marketing info never seem to quite correlate with the actual product that eventually ships.

Only that it will be used on all GPUs vendors.
But lower overhead on Intel GPUs, because they use XMX instructions. On other GPUs, it will use DPa4.
SKD will be available to devs later this month.

A little more info on Intels Thread Director:
Intel Thread Director Technology
This new technology is a combined hardware/software solution that Intel has engineered with Microsoft focused on Windows 11. It all boils down to having the right functionality to help the operating system make decisions about where to put threads that require low latency vs threads that require high efficiency but are not time critical.
First you need a software scheduler that knows what it is doing. Intel stated that it has worked extensively with Microsoft to get what they want into Windows 11, and that Microsoft have gone above and beyond what Intel needed. This fundamental change is one reason why Windows 11 exists....
