prediction:
Like every market intel has tried to enter in the past 10 years, they will burn a huge amount of cash and fail miserably.
Even if they catch up to AMD and Nvidia, their history with GPUs is so shocking, no people will buy unless it is superior to the alternatives by some margin.

“Koduri seems adamant about getting the gang back together, and I believe this is just the beginning.”

Koduri seems to have a passion for allowing the third world to do things like content creation and movies with first world special effects. Jim Keller and him worked for years on the A4 thru the A12. I think they both will really want to bring “affordable” solutions.
I am really curious to see if their plans are for dual gfx, something I like because of the promise of cheap initial build cost and being able to scale up later. AMD completely abandoned crossfire in their latest APU’s.
This subject has spawned a renewed discussion on intels first atempt to go up against nvidia and Ati, the i740.
It was a huge flop

But it did give us the AGP, sorry post is so long
dGPU? d as in Desktop? or 
Neither, as in dedicated.
Intel released a teaser video showing a GPU silhouette, we learned nothing new from this and it was just them reminding people that they will have GPUs too, not to let Nvidia steal the entire Siggraph show.

I tend to agree that is the bigger market.
Im a gamer but AMD all over consoles and intel is a 2020 unknown and Nvidia is the king of PC games.
Its an RX and RTX crazy world.
Oh yeah. Can’t wait. This will definitely be a massive success for Intel. Especially seeing how incredibly reasonable they are with their pricing.
i5, 4 cores. Single threaded. $100 or more over AMD equivalent with multithreading. And times have changed. AMD no longer run 90 degrees celcius and draw 500 watts. And the single core performance is negligible.
Only reason i’m on Skylake now is because Ryzen wasn’t available at the time and I said “phug it…”. This system will be passed down to my father, maybe my brother when i’m done with it. Then i’m building something else.
Absolutely hilariously, though. Intel making dedicated GPUs.
Fuck right off.

Intel is going to charge more than NVidia for those GPUs…
spoiler alert:
it’s this on 14nm (plus plus, plus plus, plus) at “5Ghz”

I’m actually keen to see how AMD cards fare on ray tracing. They’ll be a lot better than pre-turing Nvidia cards i suspect, due to the much higher TFLOPs in general.

can confirm
This is just Intel repeating what they already said, but adaptive sync(Freesync) will be supported.
If this happens, intel becomes my new GPU of choice

I’d suspect it’s a lot about machine learning.
The branding of the GPUs will be XE, and by the looks of the roadmaps we’ll have gaming gpus for sure.
They really need something better on the table than what GEN is putting out.
Linus was playing with a couple Larraby cards… I think he mentioned this stuff.

Intel just need something that is “good enough” that people can do the things they want to do with an integrated GPU.
I don’t think intel are going to catch up to AMD or Nvidia in the discrete GPU market in any hurry, but they desperately need a competent integrated graphics solution to compete with Navi or Vega.
It doesn’t matter if they can say, beat Ryzen by 10-12% in performance in mobile or OEM systems if AMD can ship Ryzen with a GPU that eliminates the need for a discrete mobile GPU, or a low end desktop GPU for OEM systems - if intel don’t have something equivalent.
If they have nothing to compete with integrated Navi, they’re going to be at a massive disadvantage in OEM / mobile systems.
