Who got a house on their marketing buzzword bingo?
What's interesting is that they're saying 7nm rather than 10nm. I thought Xe was on 10nm?
I'm still very puzzled how they can create a gpu without accidentally infringing IP of the very experienced and well established competition.
Then when you look at the speed they have thrown it together, even if it's just terrible, I'd be very suspicious they intentionally stole ip
Easy to overlook that Intel already offer GPUs, albeit very weak integrated ones... so this is more an evolution (admittedly a pretty major evolution) than a cold start for them.
They're already pumping triangle-based geometry, textures and shaders, etc through a (underpowered) pixel pipeline to a screen buffer via their Iris/Iris Pro chipsets - so the principles are well trodden by Intel, we've just not been accustomed to them playing at the mid-to-high end of this particular field.
Fingers crossed a three-horse race in the GPU market will help drive better pricing for consumers... Intel doing this on a 7nm process is perhaps a sign they'll hit the ground running.
Oh great 'another' custom code for programs to support....
While oneapi seems like a good idea it seems like it's only designed for intel hardware....

I initially typed something sarcastic and bitchy about this whole Xe stuff as a paper launch akin to their 5G modems.
Patrick over at STH is losing his mind over it and so many others when really we have nothing concrete, some fancy slide and Raja Koduri doing a similar mentality speech as he would have done for Vega.
