Intel Hires Top AMD GPU Architect To Lead Xe IP Road Map
-
I really hope intel can smash the mid and low range gpu. We need more competition in the space and AMD and Nvidia duopoly atm isnt good.
ID: hgbv5c2ID: hgc4jqnWhile TSMC has been leveraging their position to increase their margins, they're still not taking the lions share of it in the shortage; AMD and NVidia do, then the fab, then the AIBs, then everyone else in the pecking order.
Industries like automotive that are literally the beating heart of entire countries are grinding to halt due to semiconductor shortage, and it's going to have global economic impact. AMD and NVidia would be focusing on tiny, high yield chip SKUs if they were struggling to make the fab space profitable, instead they keep dragging their feet with every single lower tier because it's so goddamn profitable to sell a barely-upgrade over an RX480 for $600.
If Intel decided to sell their first GPUs at cost with no profit for themselves to establish consumer base quickly, their GPUs could easily end up undercutting AMD and NVidia by half and effectively end the shortage.
ID: hgch574Wasn't microchip manufacturing the centerpiece of that China 2025 plan or whatever it's called? And didn't Biden promise to ramp up the production in the US as well for "national security" reasons? Even Brussels said something about building their own fabs?
Screeching from Brussels aside, if china and the US do what they said surely their own fabs would make the shortage seize to exist in 2 or 3 years, right?
ID: hgcbsfuI don't think the problem is due to AMD or Nvidia, crypto miners will eat up all the Intel GPUs just the same and we're going to be back to square 1.
ID: hgdfgl4The prices for Turing, rdna1 and ampere disagree, they were both raising prices before it
ID: hgea398While crypto miners are a thing.. they are a different force in the market pressure on pricing.
AMD and Nvidia are rising prices just because they can. Who can stop them? no one. They literally abandoned the low - mid end gamers. I mean 6600xt didnt improve much and its considered a great entry level card but he msrp price hike for the performance given is kinda sad.
Even if intel cant compete on the top end im pretty sure they know their product and where they stand vs AMD and Nvidia offerings. Theres a market to abuse in the lower segment. If they can match 6600xt or 3060ti but great pricing vs Red and Green that would be terrific.
ID: hgbqjlkThat would be great, because both AMD and Nvidia are stuck on high end stuff for now. I mean, they are TRYING a bit with the 6600/xt and the 3060... But it's not working because of the market. Still though, a 350 dollar gpu isn't a good product for the low end market.
Promising too is the 96eu Xe igpu, it isn't TERRIBLE. But I've only seen it with ddr4, maybe itll fare better with a hunk of gddr.
ID: hgc877dHigh speed 4266 DDR4 on a 128-bit bus is not terrible for Xe 96eu. The DG1, if it wasn't incompatible with so many systems, would be a good alternative to the GT 1030 due to double the VRAM and built-in encoder.
ID: hgdes7yLol, I wish. More than likely Intel will join AMD and Nvidia in their pricing model. It’s not like Intel is some small unknown underdog disrupting the market.
ID: hgc41ovI really hope Intel can smash all of the range tbh. I want an upgrade from 5700XT mainly for immersive VR gaming but I "get" to choose between AMD cards where AMD pretends VR isn't a thing anymore, and NVidia cards that are still $1000+ in this mining country.

Good luck to him and Intel. He seems to be qualified.

What happened with Raja Koduri? According to Reddit fanboys, he should have brought Intel a GPU years ago
Not trying to bash the guy, just saying a capable team is more important than maybe charismatic leadership.
ID: hgdc7jsWait for the results before judging. It takes a long time to turn the large ship that is Intel around in order to focus on discrete GPUs. However, they have got many top people on board, not just Raja, so I am hoping their GPUs will be good.
ID: hge1mv4It takes a long time for chip design to come to fruition: from initial concept phase to initial design all the way to actual fabrication and volume production, that 'process' takes anywhere from 3 to 5+ years generally speaking, assuming it's a fresh design and not highly iterative (that's not to say their discrete GPUs will be 100% 'clean sheet' design, they will absolutely be leveraging pre-existing Intel GPU IP in various ways, much in the same way that Zen leveraged IP from both 15h and 16h family uarch)

There goes any hope of a reliable gpu

Intel is serious about video cards, I like that, better competition = better for consumers

The guy who led the team that couldn't outperform 2017's 1080ti until 2020? Looks like entry-to-mid-range GPUs are back on the menu.
ID: hgdgrbyAmd were strapped for money for a while.and all of those would be developed during that period. The 5700xt is the Polaris successor so while rdna1 wasn't amazing it was a very good base after gcn to build on and.improve. Rdna3/4/5 with much better funding should all hopefully be significant improvements, although price will probably be a problem
With Intel's deep pockets that problem won't exist, it doesn't mean they will create amazing products but they'll need 3-5 gens to really show what they can do given how new they are to indiscrete cards. If they don't do well after that then fair enough
ID: hgdppnzAt least they're setting realistic expectations and not attempting to be competitive with today's high end.
ID: hgdccn4We'll see, I won't dismiss his and his team's efforts until I see the results.

Don’t they have non-competency agreements?
ID: hgc6f6kGiven the stagnation that happened at Intel, they most certainly had non-competency in place 😉
ID: hgc81kmThey basically banned non-compete clauses in the US. It goes into effect in 2022.
ID: hgcvh55Your link refers to a non-compete ban in DC only. That’s definitely not the case across the US, but California does have similar bans
ID: hgck7pdUnenforceable in California where Intel has their HQ.

again?

More competition for TSMC wafers?
