Intel's discrete graphics card for PC enthusiasts is real. Intel won't just address the pro-graphics and accelerated-compute markets, but also consumer graphics, challenging the duopoly of NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon. Scheduled for 2020, the new Intel Xᵉ is a family of discrete GPUs targeting client-segment (consumer graphics) as well as enterprise (pro-graphics and compute).
As for performance, we speculate that the first Xᵉ products could span a vast lineup of ASICs starting single-digit TFLOP/s range for the client-segment GPU, looking purely at a nondescript performance-time graph presented by Intel. This graph depicts performance double linearly over time up to Gen9, and increase to Intel's own state 1 TFLOP/s for the Gen11 iGPU core in 2019 (a full four years following Gen9). There are a spectrum of GPUs going from the entry-level client-segment all the way up to mid-range and enthusiast segment (Intel finally used the E-word).
For the enterprise-segment GPU, however, we see a sharp rise in performance over Gen11, which could well be in the double-thru-triple digit TFLOP/s range. Intel is targeting the compute data-center market dominated by NVIDIA Tesla and AMD Radeon Instinct. This graph perfectly explains why Intel wants a discrete GPU now: it wants to go after the lucrative compute data-center segment, but wants to give the dividends of its R&D to gamers, too.
