Found an announcement from INtel that they are getting back, I think, into graphics cards - - - in a big way.
Did some searching - - - - all I can find is 'purdy pitchers' and swag for sale.
Is this some more fud or is intel serious?
Anyone out there know - - - if so I'm guessing it will be 24 months before anything useful shows up - - -yes?
Please advise
Hasn't intel been supposed to get back into graphics cards many times now?
I won't hold my breath. :)
The physical hardware is already out there. The DG1 is a spun out version of the Xe graphics in the 11th Gen CPU/iGPUs, and is already shipping in OEM systems. A low end card that meets the bottom tier of dGPU from Nvidia, but as a test of the waters, it's showing good promise for scaled up cards.
