Intel Could Unveil First Discrete 10 nm GPUs in mid-2020

According to the sources close to DigiTimes, Intel will unveil its first discrete 10 nm graphics cards named "Xe" very soon, with the first wave of Xe GPUs expected to arrive some time in 2020. Said to launch mid year, around July or August, Intel will start selling initial Xe GPU models of the long awaited product to consumers, in hope of gaining a share in the massive market using GPU for acceleration of all kinds of tasks.

Perhaps one of the most interesting notes DigiTimes reported is that "... Intel's GPUs have already received support from the upstream supply chain and has already been integrated into Intel's CPUs to be used in the datacenter and AI fields.", meaning that AIB partners already have access to first 10 nm graphics chips that are ready for system integration. First generation of Xe graphics cards will cover almost whole GPU market, including PC, datacenter, and AI applications where NVIDIA currently holds the top spot.

I still remember their last video card (technically not a gpu since it's not that powerful) it's was on pat with a Riva 128. I had an 8mb model, agp 2x card. I played games like diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Starcraft broodwar, counter strike 1.6 (and of course half life), shogo m.a.d., tachyon the fringe. It handled those games well enough.

It was funny gaming with that in CS1.6. I remember the stress from processing the smoke effects from a smoke grenade would eventually heat the heatsink enough to cause the thermal glue to drop the heatsink. I'd hear a clunk just before fps tanked to single digits (smoke effects always slowed it regardless). But it never crashed, I'd just stick the heatsink back on and the fps would go back to being tolerable lol. I eventually zip tied a socket 7 heatsink fan cooler to it. I still remember the system specs, mostly

AMD K6-2 550mhz
2x 256mb pc133
8mb i740 vga
20gb Maxtor fireball ide
98se and later xp
A 3com 10mb nic (dsl was about 300kb/sec so it was enough)

Probably the first pc I browsed TPU with, I'll be rebuilding a similar system soon with a voodoo3, better hard drives, and dual boot win 98 and xp

UltraThiccIntel also said they will release 10nm cpu in 2017 :laugh:
They still are, when its released, it will be so fast it can turn back time.

Found this, xe could be a repeat as far as targeted market

History teaches us there will be only 2 competitors after several years in GPU market. Which will be? Nvidia+amd, nvidia+intel, amd+intel?

There is no reason why all three could not exist.

The others are cemented with many years of experience, but Intel has more than enough resources to become relevant in dedicated GPUs.

Actually Intel is the largest GPU manufacturer in the world too bad they are IGP. This is way more than a 2 horse race. You have people who will always want Intel+Intel GPU, AMD +Intel GPU, Intel+Nvdia GPU, Intel+AMD GPU, AMD+Nvidia GPU and AMD+AMD GPU. Given the current climate of discrete GPUs I am sure people would buy an Intel card if it had the performance of a 5700 or 2060S at a reduced MSRP.

A lot has changed since early 2000, but dGPU client desktop I am sure only 2 will stay.

I think the reason will be not enough market share to stay on this ultra high tech branch, AMD has more to lose IMHO, although nvidia will lose more procents.
