“Friendship ended with NVIDIA now AMD is my best friend.“
It’s common sense that when you go up against something you can’t beat alone, it’s good to have friends. As such, Intel and AMD are teaming up against the Nvidia menace.
So what does this mean? Well, it means that Intel’s 8th gen H-series mobile processors will have a new feature: an integrated AMD GPU.
The new product, which will be part of our 8th Gen Intel Core family, brings together our high-performing Intel Core H-series processor, second generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) and a custom-to-Intel third-party discrete graphics chip from AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group* – all in a single processor package.
It’s a prime example of hardware and software innovations intersecting to create something amazing that fills a unique market gap. Helping to deliver on our vision for this new class of product, we worked with the team at AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group. In close collaboration, we designed a new semi-custom graphics chip, which means this is also a great example of how we can compete and work together, ultimately delivering innovation that is good for consumers.
The goal is to make better chips for gamers and enthusiasts, after all. Not to mention a smaller, lighter form factor. And doing so actually lowers the cost for the end user quite a bit. You can thank cryptocurrency miners for that, I think. In short, you’ll definitely be getting more bang for your buck.
