Intel Plans to Launch Its Discrete GPU Lineup Starting at $200

[cucker tarlson]

AI is Intel's main focus

I could swear for the last couple of years it's been more towards Natural Stupidity.

 

[moproblems99]

Intel's approach for the next two or three years is to launch a complete lineup of GPUs, with a common architecture being used for everything from iGPUs found inside consumer CPUs to data-center GPUs.

AHAHAHAHAHA....

The 512 core version could have up to 14.7 TFLOPS depending on clockspeeds. FP32. Thats more than 2080 Ti.

I don't think it will beat 2080 Ti in gaming tho... xD but Intel could have something decent up their sleeve here. The 10th gen mobile chips are not bad in the iGPU department. 3 times faster than 9th gen on average and this is with very low core count and clockspeed.

Looking forward to see the performance on these 4 dGPU's.

The Tflops means nothing basicly to gaming performance. Look at larrabee. An attempt to put x86 cores as a universal graphics processor. It failed. It got put as a accelerator of general purpose things.

But to be honest, releasing a 200$ midrange card that is able to compete with the Polaris, and not navi, is a misstep in the wrong direction. I think the power of that GPU should be within the 5700 territory and not the 480.

It was a metaphor not what they are actually targeting.

the amd method,that worked well until it didn't.

Just crossfire two 480s and "bam" 1080 performance.

it just works

or just look at radeon vii vs rtx 2070. 7.5tflops almost matches 13.5tflops

I dunno, last time Raj was heading a GPU division, he gave us Vega...the Volta killer....

Better they simply say nothing until they can show us a physical product.

imo Lisa Su was holding back R&D spending on the GPU business because she was putting the money into developing Ryzen. I won't be surprised if one day Koduri comes right out and says that's why he left AMD for intel because he wanted to do more but Lisa Su wouldn't authorize it.

The 580 did its job but that is not what I would develop my new strategic goal around. Unless it is just to get the foot in the door.

jack of all trades,master of none.
vega cards started at 3 cu parts and topped at 64 cu frontier edition.never got traction in any segment unless it was purely for the discounted price and game bundle reasons.
polaris was better in this respect since it was a console designated gpu.

This will likely slam the door in the face of anyone expecting Intel and Raja to jump in the gpu game and save them any time soon.

intel better get their eyes back on their cpus cause amd will put them out of business if they plan to twiddle their thumbs for another year.

Intel could not lift a finger for a decade and still have more cash than And.

Regardless of how some of us will feel this will be nothing but good for the consumer. Nvidia is the undisputed king as the length of the 1080Ti shows. AMD is rising or Ryzen (hehe) with Polaris and now Navi. Intel has enough money and has gleaned enough talent from the pool to in my opinion make a GPU that should be able to compete with at least the 580 or 1660ti. Having 3 competitors in a space reserved for the most expensive component in a PC build is nothing but good. I would say that in about 3 years we will all be glad it happened.

That's my feeling as well. I don't see any downside to Intel entering the discrete GPU market. Even if they totally fail we still haven't lost anything that we already have right now (Nvidia and AMD) but there is a potential upside for consumers if Intel succeeds in bringing a good lineup of GPUs.

LOL, no.. no they won't.

Anyway, back to reality (oh there goes rabbit...), any additional competition is good. I like the price point, but where will it perform is the big question. Are they taking the value proposition like AMD and more so competing with them in that ring only? I would love to see a high-end discrete offering from Intel.

Nvidia is the undisputed king as the length of the 1080Ti shows.

You sure it's not girth?

 

[XiGMAKiD]

Good price point, now they just need to prove its performance

Let’s be real. Nvidia’s next 7nm GPU will make big Navi and whatever Intel has to offer a midrange to lowend GPU solution...

Let's be real and not make certain statements about the future. Many things may happen, for example Nvidia may suffer what intel is suffering right now.

 

[laszlo]

knowing intel cpu pricing somehow i doubt their gpu will be priced according to performance...

 

[systemBuilder]

This guy, Raja, almost killed ATI/AMD by foolishly going "all in" on an unproved and hyper expensive HBM2 memory in AMD'S discrete GPUs (Rx Vega 56, 64). AMD lost money on every single sale. AMD returned to using GDDR6 now in rx5700 and rx5700 xt. Rajas GPUs run hot and waste a lot of memory bandwidth. I predict he will destroy Intel ....
