All I have to say is: I didn't know I'd live long enough to see this.

So is this what Intel/AMD have come up with to take on Nvidia Laptop GPU's? If so, can only be a good thing, just as in the desktop space, Nvidia dominates the laptop market.
..although I can't see these first generation parts beating out the top end 1070/1080 mobile chips TBH.

Is it possible this for an Apple product? I can't watch the video at work but I know Apple is using Vega and Intel, it would make sense for them to want this and they'd definitely have the $$ to do it.

So if futuremark got the spec, where are the benches?

Not bad Intel not bad at all. Maybe in a couple of generations they could compete with Nvidia in the Laptop GPU market but the way things are now Nvidia is still the king considering they dropped the m and switched to using watered desktop GPUs which are pretty close in power to the actual Desktop card with the pascal cards.

I smell Koduri effect.

Huh nice to see Intel and AMD team up in such a manner 🙂

I'm pretty sure this isn't literally an IGP - to my recollection, Intel's IGP still exists too, but, I wonder if only the Vega M is used by default.

hmm without fanboysm but AMD always rocks 😀

I want to get my mitts on one of these, but I'll settle for a nice set of benchmarks from Hilbert instead. 🤓

I can't even describe how much I dislike intel's iGPU drivers. For people who want intel CPU, but dislike their iGPU/drivers...
Still nothing for me. But I am interested in seeing who ordered such thing. Maybe Gaming console? maybe Apple-something?

I expect these CPUs to cost more than Broadwell because of integrated HBM2 memory alone. If that's the case...I don't expect them to be popular.
