    Phoronix: Intel Begins Teasing Their Discrete Graphics Card

    Don't expect the Intel discrete gamer graphics card to come until 2020, but with the SIGGRAPH graphics conference happening this week in Vancouver, they have begun teasing their first PCI Express graphics card...

    I hope Intel will bring out a proper, open source, alternative to CUDA. This what's really needed in the GPU space. Not just another gaming accelerator. I've given up on AMD and OpenCL.

    Only Intel can put the kind of resources together that are necessary to take on CUDA, and kickstart a proper open source GPU ecosystem.

    I don't understand why the AVX instruction set can't be extended to encompass the GPU. Why not AVX-65536 via GPU.... and let AMD in on the game too.

      If it's going to support GVT, then I'm sold

        What? Intel already supports OpenCL, there is no reason for YET-ANOTHER-COMPUTE-API.

          Exactly, both AMD and Intel support SyCL just fine. OpenCL has never been easier.

            Another vote to avoid yet another API.

              The shroud of the cooler looks very square and the pcb doesn't seem too large, my guess is it uses some form of HBM and is geared towards compute...

              The Xeon Phi products (as PCIe accelerators) where always interesting, it would be nice if offloading to this new GPU would be as easy as it was to offload to a Xeon Phi in MKL!

              Anyway, competition is good for consumers.

                So it will be faster than i740, or Larrabe, but seriously, will it blend? ;-)

                  I will say it again , khronos should make rasterization optional in vulkan and make it their compute api

                    That's not the actual finished product. In fact, it doesn't even look like a PCI-E connector.
