Intel tweet shows off their dedicated graphics for the first time

Intel plans to enter the discrete graphics market in 2020, releasing a video which showcases past accomplishments like the introduction of the world’s first fully compliant DirectX 12 GPU and being the first PC graphics provider to provide support for Netflix at 4K resolutions. 

Over the past year, Intel has hired both Raja Koduri, and Chris Hook, veterans of AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group, who combined with Intel’s talent pool should be capable of great things. Tom Forsyth, one of the chief architects behind Larrabee, a failed graphics-like compute solution, has also returned to Intel to work under Raja Koduri, bringing his experience with Intel graphics alongside everything he has learned from both Valve and Oculus in recent years. 

With a planned 2020 release, it is likely that Intel’s first graphics chips will be made using the company’s long-delayed 10nm manufacturing process, though at this time it remains unclear whether or not Intel will be able to compete with Radeon and Geforce in the gaming market.
