nice little box, let's hope it has some horsepower.

If it manages to get on RX580 level for gaming, that would be good enough. Probably will perform and compete the best for computing while being aimed for professionals.

I do hope that is an example of a lower end model.

Interesting design, it looks different of course. The more competitors the better.

Intel Xe Nano 10nm 😀

They STILL haven't figured out that blower design is inferior in all 100% of cases?

Thats a bold and inaccurate comment. I'll give you one right off the bat... dead tech or not, SLI benefits better from blowers. Hence why it was popular to go reference for SLI.

100% really... one word: HTPC Now tell me again it is 100%

I do have hope that they know what they are doing, bc when I had Broadwell i7 5775c and used it in gaming it was fast enough for 1080p gaming with 60fps plus in some cases. And this was iGPU, so separate unit definitely can do better. Bigger, more complex...maybe Intel will surprise us all...

I think someone said its up there with 1660ti but i guess thats wishful thinking. Lets wait and see.

It looks different and interesting because it's some random fans concept art.

Good point, but someone at intel must like it to select it for show. At the end of the day it does not matter what it looks like but how it performs.

Blowers perform worse overall but they're actually a decently effective design in multi-GPU setups. Seeing as this is a server/workstation GPU, there's a good chance many of these will be used in a single system, or at least some other PCIe card might be there to block the fan.

I thought this was confirmed as fake?

It was confirmed as what the article states - it's a community submitted concept piece.

The size of the concept card doesn't worry me, considering you have mini editions of pretty much all the GPUs from the likes of ZOTAC and they're pretty cool (if you can stomach little to no OC potential). If Intel can bring decent performance with a good price/performance ratio, they'll be on the right path. Nobody is expecting a new high-end king out of nowhere.

Fan art, apparently.

So it is fake, then. Hmmmm....nothing released officially by Intel for an actual product of any kind. We seem to be headed toward new types of vaporware these days...;) I note that the thing looks as though it might melt in its own heat! I see the interesting little vents, of course. Wow--"fan concept art" for new GPUs. Alrighty, then....next perhaps we will see fan-created benchmarks...?

I expect RX460 performance-level and annual driver update.

I feel like I'm going through the various stages of grief with this. My natural inclination was that Intel would be insane trying to compete with AMD and nVidia, especially considering when I initially read about it, I still had a falling out with AMD and considered nVidia the only viable choice for high-end gaming (still kinda is). However, despite AMD's APU being a more viable option, people people still use Intel's integrated GPU's for gaming, and technically it's still more relatively capable than the integrated graphics of yester-year. And then eventually, I was like, 'why the hell not'. Intel seemingly already has the resources, and should recover easily if it flopped. And even if all it was was some low-end entry--one notch above integrated, it still gives you another option in the market, especially when GPU's are leveraged for content-creation. I wouldn't mind having an Intel GPU handy just for Quick Sync. In fact, that might be a marketing strategy for Intel--come up with some new proprietary API(?) akin to nVidia's CUDA, and people will be buying them up. Intel is still so synonymous productivity and business applications--despite AMD being just as viable--if not even moreso, for both servers and individual workstations, that developers would lining up to adopt.

I wouldn't say blower style is bad it does have uses, but it is BAD for sound to rpm ratio majority of them all sound like jet engine at 2k rpm let alone 4k rpm. I assuming this concept art of WHAT the card might look like? I would be more interested in seeing paper information whats performance would be like, concept of what Card might look like means jack and squat to me
