What happened to Intel graphics cards? Why don't they try to enter the graphics card market?
Take 2 intel hd gpus, put them on one board with 2gb vram each, or 4gb each, gddr5. Should perform decently? They don't even need to target the high end.
Their IGPUs are getting pretty good, imagine how they'd perform with dedicated vram.
they tried. it didn't work.
Are you not even aware of what happened with Larrabee?
>>51286965
Obviously, since I just included a picture of it.
And knights landing.
Nvidia made this political cartoon.
They bringin the bantz.
>>51286927
when?
>>51286913
This sounds like a post from someone who knows very little about this subject
>>51287354
Agreed.
>2 intel hd gpus
lol wut?
>2gb vram each somehow makes 4gb
HMMMMMM SEEMS LEGIT
> IGPU
>>GOOD
kek
>>51287354
I don't know much about this topic, I'm not an engineer. I am curious though. They tried to make an x86 gpu, didn't they?
>>51287388
Reread the op.
>2gb vram each, or 4gb each
IGPUs are becoming pretty good. APUs can be used for light gaming and iirc iris pro is even faster.
>>51287413
Whoops, I fucked up. Thanks for catching that. But any gpu + cpu setup can beat an apu for the same price, regarding that there are no bottlenecks.
>>51286977
Then look back at the i740
>>51287466
That's true, but IGPUs are becoming pretty good.
The fact that an a10 7850k can average 45 fps in battlefield 4 1080p medium settings is something I find amazing.
But something like a pcie iris pro would perform like a midrange gpu, wouldn't it?
>>51287413
Iris Pro is faster only because it has decent memory
Almost any APU would wreck Iris Pro if it wasn't bottlenecked so much by memory
>>51287529
the i740 was a cheap budget card even by the standards of the time. They just wanted to make sure people would have an AGP card to put in their 440LX boards, where AGP support was one of the big new features.

Intel is the face of the desktop and laptop computer. Most of them use an Intel cpu and have an Intel sticker. Things are different now, they can enter the gpu market much more easily just because so many people have heard of them now.
>>51287677
Back then things were the same, Intel was equally omniprescent in PC's as it is today
>>51287546
And that is why I am hyped for Zen-based APU's with DDR4 support
>>51286913
Intel prizes stability.
They don't want to deal with GPU overclockers.
>>51287747
As long as they don't fuck up the pricing I'm all up for a zen apu for my tv.
>>51287923
Can can just lock it down like their CPUs though?
>>51288084
I think so, but then they would not sell, and they would be seen as an inferior option because of that.
>>51287388
>everybody on /g/ are vhdl engineer
Fuck Off

what is 5675/5775c

intel gpu guy here, they are going to keep getting bigger. They are/were planning to make a workstation part (10 teraflops and several GB of HBM), but the architects change the roadmap so often I don't know if that's still the case
What if we put the GPU on the CPU die?
Does /g/ actually know anything about CPU engineering?
>>51289960
What if we eat shit from our hands. Integration is the way of compromise, compromise is the way of failure and weak performance.
>>51286913
I honestly don't think intel will ever care or want to do this. They have made it abundantly clear that they are focused on shrinking die lithography and improving thermals and power consumption. I think their logical trajectory is going to have them putting mobile core iX processors in phones and tablets inside 3 years. And while having a real, full power x86 processor in a mobile device will be cool, I just don't see them caring a lot about the enthusiast on the desktop outside porting cut down server parts to the 2011 platform.

>>51286977
All other factor aside, these are some nice looking pieces of hardware.
>>51286913
Why not buy Nvidia?
>>51291361
Knights landing is a Xeon Phi, its not meant for playing games. It's a ton (I think 72) of basically Pentium tier processor cores (low clock speed) all on one chip. It's for computational tasks.

Integration is the way that lead to progress for the last century m8.
