Intel Invites Gamers for a Graphics Odyssey Spanning Multiple Continents

Intel is working to build up hype and awareness around its discrete graphics efforts, of which we're still to see more off besides Intel's continuous acquisition of AMD-based talent for that particular endeavor. It's relatively hard to build up enthusiasm for something other than the fact there is a third competitor entering the high-performance graphics card space; the rest is mostly rumors, speculations, and declared intentions.
Intel seems to be starting an Odyssey of its own with multiple events spanning the globe, aiming for gatherings of gamers that can give Intel feedback on their graphics pursuit. The Odyssey is "built around a passionate community, focused on improving graphics and visual computing for everyone, from gamers to content creators."; access for the events will be granted, after a sign-up form, by way of an Intel VIP Pass, which will give gamers "killer deals and freebies, preferred beta access, the latest gaming news and more." If you're interested and want to partake in being on the inside of some Intel events that might grant you access to information on Intel's upcoming Xe graphics products as well as to giveaways and freebies, follow the source link for both the press info and sign-up form.

notbI'm looking forward to what this means to their IGP.
The tiny HD IGP is perfect for just providing the video signal (and also for it's hardware encoding abilities).
I agree.

I use a 5775C with a GTX 1080. The 1080 is only used for heavy tasks, the iG gets browsing/office use and video decoding. Also suitable for quick encoding and light gaming. It a pain to setup that way though.

CasecutterMost would say Radeon R790 TeraScale Architecture of (April 2009) overshadow GeForce 200 and then even more so Fermi (April 2010). GCN 1.0 Tahiti (January 2012) and then Kepler (March 2012) where very competitive, up until Maxwell arrival Sep 19th, 2014


Tahiti was 2012, and even up until Hawaii (October 2013) verses Maxwell a year later (Sept 2014), and wasn't truly eclipsed until the arrival Pascal finally in May of 2016.
Obviously, I didn't mean technology, but the market success. If you're an employee, you may have satisfaction because your product is advanced, but that's not enough to get you a salary.

And imagine the situation when you're working for AMD - the second largest CPU/GPU manufacturer with all this great tech... but then you ask some friends and they either don't know what AMD is or they thought AMD has been out of business for years. :-)
Get your history straight... noob
Just based on this comment I'm pretty sure you have nothing interesting to say. :-)
Having a nickname like mine is quite useful.

It's like if you're called "Dick" and some people make jokes when you meet them for the first time. You just know it'll be the last one as well. :-)
