Hardware & Technical Intel will manufacture discrete graphics cards

- Start date
With another abusive, anticompetitive player about to enter the market, nvidia is already shivering.
Until then: remember Larrabee from SIGGRAPH 2008 and how far that went.

I love how they are trying to start the hype train for something so far into the future. I will be amazed if they can outperform the current crop of GPU cards let alone be competitive to the ones out 2 years from now...
If the product isn't competitive, it won't be sold.
They know what's out now and can predict what will be on the market in two years as well as anyone. A GPU design cycle is also around five years long. The foundations for the stuff coming out now was laid half a decade ago.
In addition to having had their own IGP tech for decades, they have been gaining experience with other parties' hardware and hiring top talent in the field for the last several years. Perhaps most importantly, they also have craptons of money and seem to be making a serious push into the market as a side-effect of expanding AI/deep-learning capabilities.
I'm a bit less optimistic about their driver team and the issues with their 10nm manufacturing process have really been dragging on, but I certainly wouldn't count Intel out.
Intel had discreet GPU, some years ago. Interestingly enough Linus from LTT managed to get a hold of prototype. Worth a watch. It's really different from other commercial GPUs out there.
It seems they are recruiting a lot of experts from AMD
