heard from industry sources that Intel aims to launch its first Xe-based discrete GPUs by the middle of 2020. These chips will be made on a 10nm process and the chip giant will target both the gaming and datacenter markets.
Instead of purely targeting the gaming market, Intel is set to combine the new GPUs with its CPUs to create a competitive platform in a bid to pursuit business opportunities from datacenter, AI and machine learning applications and such a move is expected to directly affect Nvidia, which has been pushing its AI GPU platform in the datacenter market, the sources noted.
The site also reports that Intel plans to reveal a 7nm GPU packaged using Foveros 3D technology in 2021.
