We're getting pretty close to the official reveal of the Intel Kaby Lake-G processors with integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics. As is typical, VideoCardz got its hands on a bunch of leaks and published them
over here. These new processors from intel are aimed at the mobile market, they're a multi-chip module (MCM) with a Kaby Lake processor, AMD Radeon RX Vega M graphics chip, and 4GB HBM2. Several variants will be offered, with TDPs of 65W and 100W.
Lots of other tidbits at VideoCardz but lets move straight to the performance. According to benchmarking performed by Intel, the fastest Radeon RX Vega M GH solution should outperform a Core i7-7700HQ system with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics:
The rumor mill has been saying for some time now that this weird chip was created at the demand of Apple. However, other OEMs will distribute the chip too. The leaked info says Dell and HP will make laptops with this chip in Q1 2018, and Intel plans to use it for future NUCs.
