PV changed 7nm Intel to 5nm TSMC. Or Intel 4 now. 10nm Xe-hp might have been pretty mediocre product - at least perf/watt.
HP was made for intel 10nm and we know how well that works...HP sounds like a general compute alternative to Nvidia/AMD and it wasn't competitive and/or customers aren't willing to switch to it.
Alchemist will be my 1st Intel discrete graphic card - low profile!
Seems a bit premature to be saying that. You have no idea how well it's going to mine.
It is under the new Intel division - Arc brand. It's GPU is made by TSMC and is 7nm! Do very well! I going buy the lowest bottom graphics card since I do not need one just to help Intel along! LOL!
Black market in action?I think what he's saying is that it may sell out before it hits store shelves.
Black market in action?
Minor nitpick: 10nm+ (ice lake), 10sf (tiger lake), and 10esf (Intel 7, alder lake) are 3 separate processes. You would want them manufactured on 10esf/Intel 7. The issue is that they can’t kill off 10sf or 10nm+ because they still sell those chips. Intel isn’t going to spin up new products on those older nodes because they will eventually be able to move everything to 10esf. Until that happens and Intel also gets Intel 4 ramped, they are using TSMC to avoid capacity issues.I mean they have shipped over 70 million Tiger lake units on that same process and over 1 million Icelake SP dies on the original 10nm process - it’s likely that Xe-HP overlapped a lot with PVC in terms of performance and features and/or customers no longer thought it was necessary - so it was turned into a SW dev vehicle
That's weird. Didn't they just announce a Q2 launch? Hey if they can get them out a month or two early then more power to em. Let's see what they've got!
Intel said Q1, but things have been oddly silent so far. With a little over 4 months left, you would think we would see a leaked bench or something.
I don’t need another GPU, but assuming I can, I plan to pre-order one for testing.
On the other hand, who needs 3x the performance of a 3070 at 500W? If Intel is cheap and reasonably efficient it may be a good option despite Nvidia selling $3000 cards at the high end.I have become a little concerned because intel keeps stating 3070-ish performance.
Seems like nVidia is ready for a possible 3x performance increase. Basically nVidia can pull out just enough performance to easily double intels best which would suck however having more cards & a third player is still welcome in my opinion.
Well these are all relative. Compared to some 500W Nvidia GPU 3x faster it will be cheap and efficient (even if lower perf/watt).Wait... did you just use the words "intel" "cheap" and "efficient " in the same sentence?
Have you checked into your local psych hospital for an evaluation recently?
To be fair in the current GPU market it would be very easy to look "cheap" even with good margins, given sufficient supply. Perfect time for Intel to enter really, what are they waiting for?
Is this some kind of bot post? That makes zero sense unless you live in 2016.Intel could have one of three approaches to build a discrete GPU from scratch. The first and most obvious one would be to scale up its current gen 9.5 architecture. The trouble is, that Intel's SIMD parallelism is more transistor-heavy than even NVIDIA....
