Intel’s Raja Koduri hints at $200 Discrete GPUs with a 2020 release date

In an interview with the Russian YouTube Channel Pro Hi-Tech, Intel’s Raja Koduri spoke about the company’s discrete graphics card plans. It should be common knowledge now that Intel plans to release discrete GPUs in 2020, with Raja Koduri stating that Intel plans to create a graphics card that suitable for everyone, starting their product range at $200. 

With their discrete offerings, Intel plans to scale from the consumer to the datacenter, with Raja confirming that there will be larger graphics cards with access to HBM memory. At this time it is unknown whether or not HBM will make its way into Intel’s lower-end offerings. 

As the company ventures into the world of discrete graphics, the company plans to create “GPUs for everyone” and target pricing rather than performance. This makes sense for Intel’s first-generation offerings, as the company needs to quickly build up a userbase within the GPU market. Intel’s offerings need to be competitive, as otherwise, consumers will have little reason to choose them over AMD/Radeon or Nvidia.
