Re: Intel Arctic Sound GPU event expected next month
Whenever I hear that codename I'm thinking of a sound card...
Anyway, colour me cautiously excited.

Yeah I’m the same. Nvidia desperately needs some competition and AMD AT THE MOMENT is not providing any.
Their 590 is a good performer but that power draw is horrendous, nearly 2x power consumption for about 10% performance increase over the 1060 (game/benchmark dependent). According the the Hexus review.

In AMDs defence they're just pushing what remains of Raja's design while working on Navi. I expect next year to be an interesting time for consumers

Finally! I've been waiting to find out more about larrabee since I got my GTX460 as a stop-gap. It's been a long stop-gap.
Re: Intel Arctic Sound GPU event expected next month
Can't wait to see what AMD product Intel is releasing :P
I kid, would be interesting what Intel is thinking of doing in the GPU market...
Re: Intel Arctic Sound GPU event expected next month
Is it just me who reads 'discrete GPU' and thinks only of add-in card?
Apparently Intel don't think the same as they say about connecting their GPU via EMIB so it would be more like a Kaby Lake G, technically they're correct but it's not what i think of when talking about discrete GPUs.

If they had called it an IGPU, a pedant would have pointed out it is technically discrete, so they would never have won that one either way ;)
But yes I agree with what you say, to me a discrete GPU means an add in card, or at least one soldered into a laptop.

I could understand if they're connecting the memory (in the same way as HBM2) to the gpu. Maybe the dGPU also includes a cpu on the package.... :shocked2: Then we're going down the Volta route where you have specific cores for different tasks.

So this isn't going to be a quiet card...

You're thinking of Arctic Lights. That's the sound card. Obviously. :o)

The most important thing is that it can run Battlefield V in full DXR mode at 4K/90FPS
Re: Intel Arctic Sound GPU event expected next month
Koduri has taken to Twitter to say that "It’s intel architecture day..not a ‘dgpu day’"

Yeah, sounds like "we don't have anything at all but we have to try and pull attention from AMD in any way we can".
