I'm surprised they're going with hbm on this they must have high confidence that sales will make up for the extra cost or like past AMD cards it requires it due to another constraint

Smells like a high-price computing GPU...

No more. Something Lake?

Well if you are going to jump in to the gpu market it makes sense to come in with something different to attract attention. Intel netted 21 billion U.S. dollars last year. They can afford to produce a more expensive gpu and offer it with competitive pricing. More processing power at less power usage could be an attractive incentive to go Intel. Following the typical drug dealer and Nvidia game plan of offering a better product at cheaper price in the beginning, then once hooked on the product suddenly charge three times the price for their product. I welcome Intel bringing in a different package. Competition is always good for the consumer.

7nm + HBM as something different?
AMD had this already last year... 🙄

A split between HBM and GDDR would make sense and if intel purchase a lot of HBM the price would go down of course. We will see.
It is too far away at the moment to be critical, I am just glad more competition in the market place. I have written off Matrix ever coming back recently ... ( joke ).
In the past even Western Digital made video chips. The very good Paradise 90C33, with it's parrot emblem for instance.

But how fast will it be after all security patches have been applied?

I knew it, Raja didnt leave Amd , his task is to lead Intel down the road of no success by brain washing Intel, that making a HBM vga card is a sales killer.
Well done Raja , you cheeky saboteur 😀

This is most likely a server / computing product, as many people had speculated before. No sense in creating an expensive consumer product that barely has any margins - it's far better to create a computing GPU that can be scaled down for consumers. At any rate, I don't expect any miracles here (consumer XE will probably be far less powerful than the 2080 Ti or will be just as expensive).

I bet the drivers will still be something like "acqua alta" (yes I know Ponte Vecchio is not in Venice).
